<TITLE>19. Par 203-218</TITLE>L-203 Two of them, a modern Oral Roberts and Billy Graham, goes down into Sodom and preach the Gospel, and blinded them with their Gospel.

L-204   But this One that set back there, that eat the flesh of a calf, drank the milk from a cow, and eat bread, and Abraham washed His feet. And He set there, a Man. And He said...

L-205 Now, remember, his name had been Abram, a day before that, and had been changed to Abraham. And Sarai had been changed to Sarah. And watch Him, what He says, "Where is your wife, Sarah?" S-a-r-a-h. "Abraham," A-b-r-a-h-a-m, "where is your wife, Sarah?"

L-206 He said, "She's in the tent behind You." She hadn't come out, like women today do, have to show themselves. But, she, she was in a tent behind.
He said, "I'm going to visit you according to the time of life."

L-207 And Sarah doubted it in her heart, and said within her heart, "These things can't be," 'cause, you see, as family relations had been far from them. He was a hundred years old, and she was ninety. Said, "Me have pleasure with my lord, and him old, too, out there? How could it be?"

L-208 And this Man, with His back turned to the tent, said, "Why did Sarah doubt, saying, 'These things can't be'?"

L-209 And Abraham called Him "Elohim." If anybody knows what Elohim means, "the all-sufficient One." God Almighty Himself manifested in the flesh. How did Abraham call Him that? Because he seen that that Man was the Word.

L-210   Now, Hebrews, the 4th chapter and the 12th verse, says that the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, a Discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And when Jesus came and performed that miracle, by discerning their thoughts that was in their heart, they called Him Beelzebub.

L-211 But the Word in those prophets always was able to foretell and to discern. That's the Word for that day. That's what identified them as prophets. And remember, He promised that the world would be in that condition, and would receive that sign again before His Coming. Now notice in Luke 17 here, He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be at the coming of the Son of man, when the Son of man is being revealed."

L-212   Will you pardon me for another minute, let me open something to you here, just a minute, court? Will you permit this, as I'm a witness?

L-213 Did you notice here? He never said, "When the Son of God is being revealed." He said, "Son of man." Jesus come with three titles: Son of man, Son of David, Son of God, all the same Person.

L-214 That's just like the trinity: Father, Son, Holy Ghost. Not three Gods! One Person; the three attributes of God.

L-215 Now, see, just like I am three persons. I am to my wife a husband. I am to my daughter, setting here, daddy. And my grandson, setting there, I am grandpa. Now, my wife only has claims on me as her husband. And my daughter here can't say, "husband," because she's my child. My grandson cannot call me "daddy." Right. He has no claims on me as daddy. He might call me that, but it isn't so. He is my grandson. Yet, I'm the same person.

L-216 It's God unveiling Himself, bringing Himself down, so He can be... He was above, in a Pillar of Fire. Then He was manifested in His Son, Jesus Christ. And now revealed to us, by the Holy Ghost. Watch, when He come.

L-217   You know what "Son of man" means? Look in Ezekiel, the 2nd chapter, and you'll find, Ezekiel 2:1. Jehovah Himself called Ezekiel, the prophet, "son of man." He called all the prophets, "son of man."

L-218 And why then did Jesus call Himself Son of man? Because He had to come in the way that the prophets said He would come. Moses, in Deuteronomy 18:15, said, "The Lord your God shall raise up a prophet like me." And He come to reveal Himself to the natural seed of Abraham, as Son of man. And they called It the work of a devil.
