<TITLE>18. Par 221-232</TITLE>L-221 He said, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life. And this son that's been promised, is ready to come on the scene now. You're going to have it."

L-222 And Sarah, to herself, kind of laughed, said, "Me being old, and have pleasure with my lord again, and him old?" Something like that, so, 'cause she was--she was ninety, and he was a hundred. "And so now could I do that again?"

L-223   And the Angel, messenger, God in human flesh, said, "Why did she laugh?"

L-224 That was a confirmation. Why? Showed the revelation was right. Showed that what he had called Him, Elohim, was right. Because, He was the Word. That was the... In Hebrews, the 4th chapter, the 12th verse, said, "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, and discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart." And when Abraham seen this, he was sure then he could call Him, "Elohim." Elohim, He was the Word, "Same yesterday, today, and forever."

L-225   Notice when Jesus, the royal Seed of Abraham, come on the scene, He revealed Himself to the natural seed of Abraham, in the same sign. And they called Him, "Beelzebub." It blinded them, the unbelievers, blinded them and caused them to blaspheming, and sent them to hell. But it gave Eternal sight to the believers, that was ordained to Eternal life.

L-226 Notice, Jesus promised that the... in the last days, just before the coming of the Son of man, that He would come and reveal Himself, when the days that the Son of man is being revealed, this royal Seed of Abraham would see the same sign. Now notice, when He said, that's--that's Saint Luke 17:28 and 30, "And as it was in the days of Sodom." Now, Jesus said this. I'm not responsible for it. He... I'm responsible for telling it, saying what He said. But, Jesus said this, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming, at the coming of the Son of man," now notice, "in the days that the Son of man is being revealed, when the Son of man is being revealed to His Church."

L-227   Like to Abraham. He was God, He kept coming on down; confirmed the covenant, recognized Who He was, and his name changed. Notice, it changed just before He got on the hill, looking over Sodom, just before the promised Son came on.

L-228 Jesus said the same picture. Jesus was reading the same Bible that I'm reading and you're reading. If you want to know what it was, go back and see what they were doing in the days of Sodom. Notice, not so much in the days of Noah (He told their immorals, how they was eating, drinking, marrying, given in marriage), but in Sodom.

L-229 Now there is "no more water," God promised that by the rainbow sign. He give us a sign. He always gives signs. The rainbow... He ever remembers His signs. Always loyal to it through the years, never fails to give that rainbow sign. He always gives His signs. Notice.

L-230 And in that sign, He promised not to destroy the world "no more with water," but He did say it would "burn." And notice Jesus here saying, "As it was in the days of Sodom," the Gentile world was going to be destroyed. Sodomites!

L-231 Now look at the morals of the nations. Look at the morals of a church, just like Lot. Look what's down among them: a man, G-r-a-h-a-m, blasting them away, them politicians, to the church natural. Now on the church spiritual...

L-232   There is always three classes of people. That's, believers, unbelievers, and make-believers. They have them in every crowd. If you felt the pressure I did, you'd know they was right here tonight. So--so, you, and all three. Notice, there you are, there is always them three classes everywhere.
