<TITLE>06. Par 58-73</TITLE>L-58   You see, all these things just portrayed Christ. He was a part of it. God doesn't change. His nature doesn't change. His character doesn't change. He is still the Word, see, and Malachi 3:6 proves that. He just changes His form for each age. Each age, He has a lotted part of Word which has been prophesied would happen in certain days. Well, as that age comes along, God just moves in another form. See, it's God all the time, the Word, "the Word made flesh and dwelt among us."

L-59   Now in Hebrews 4, we find out, Hebrews 4:12. Jesus was perfectly identified by His works and what He did, because Hebrews 4:12 says, that, "The Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword. It also is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."

L-60 That's how Abraham, when this Man met him, with dust on His clothes, and we find out, when Abraham seen this Man, he called Him aside.

L-61 Two of them went down into Sodom; a very beautiful picture of this day we're living at, and we find a modern Billy Graham and them in Sodom, bringing them out.

L-62   Look at the church elected, though, the real seed of Abraham. Lot was a nephew, but Abraham... This Man never went down, the One that talked with Abraham. And as He spoke with Abraham, He said, "Abraham." Now remember, his name was Abram, a few days before that, and his wife was Sarai, not Sarah.
And He said, "Abraham, where is your wife, Sarah?"
Said, "She is in the tent, behind You."

L-63 He said, "I am going to visit you according to the time of life."
And Sarah, in her heart, she kind of laughed about it.

L-64 "And the Man, with His back turned to the tent," the Bible said, "said, 'Why did Sarah laugh?' in the tent behind Him."

L-65 And Abraham called that Man "Elohim." Elohim is "the self-existing One."

L-66   Now the English word god means anything. Them English words, you have to watch them, 'cause they got all kinds of perverted ideas. A god, this desk could be god, a tree could be god, a man could be god, anything god, the English word god means.

L-67 But Elohim means "self-existing." There can only... This desk is not self-existing. The man is not self-existing. The tree is not self-existing. But Elohim is! Self-existing One, manifested in flesh, standing there, eating, drinking milk from the cow, eating the flesh, the calf, eating bread, and talking with Abraham. And Abraham said it was "Elohim."

L-68   And Jesus, in Saint Luke 17, said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be when at the returning, when the Son of man will be made manifest." Not Son of God, now; "Son of man be made manifest"! "When He is being revealed, made known to His Church, Son of man will be revealed just before the promised Son."

L-69 Abraham had seen God in many different forms, in a Light, and in visions; but here was God in a Man, just before the waited and promised son appeared.

L-70 Jesus said, "Before the promised Son returns again, Elohim would make Himself (His Word) manifested in flesh, God!"
"Sirs, we would see Jesus!"

L-71   God manifested the same in all ages, it's always been, He has hid Hisself in behind human flesh. It's God in you. "A little while and the world seeth Me no more, yet ye shall see Me. I'll be with you." He is even in us; He will be, to the consumation, until He is revealed in the form coming from Heaven.

L-72   God's Word of this age, what did He promise this age? If you look in the Bible and see what's promised for this age, and you see That living out, I don't care who says It's right or wrong, It's right because It's God interpreting His Own Word.

L-73 He needs nobody to say, "Well, them days are passed. No such a thing as Divine healing. And all that is fanaticism." It's--it's wrong! When God says He'll do it in a certain age, He'll do it. But the thing of it is, we get in an old trend of something way back, some great school from way back, and we miss It.
