<TITLE>09. Par 87-98</TITLE>L-87 Now notice, He come in three sons' name. He come in the name of the Son of David... Or, the Son of man, Son of God, Son of David.

L-88   Now, He had to come as Son of man, because He was a Prophet. Jehovah, Himself, called the prophets, "son of man." And Jesus never referred to Himself as Son of God. He referred to Himself, always, as Son of man. And notice, He revealed Himself then as the Prophet, the Seer. Said, "If I do not the works of My Father, then believe it not." He met every description that was spoke of Him in the Scripture, even to His death, burial, resurrection; His crucifixion, His birth, all. And in His work, He met the description of the Seer, the Son of man.

L-89   Now He's been revealed through the church ages, now watch, through the church ages, as Son of God. God being a Spirit, the Holy Spirit, He revealed Himself in the church ages as, in the congregation, as the Holy Spirit among the people.

L-90 We find, in the Laodicea Church Age, the last church age, He is put out of the church. Nowhere else was He ever put out, in any age, but in the Laodicea Age. "Because, they said, 'We're rich and have need of nothing.' And know it not that you're miserable, poor, naked, and blind, and don't know it." He was put out of the church age.

L-91 And then, according to Luke 17, He said, "As it was in the days of Sodom, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of man." Now, He was reading the same Genesis that we read. Notice, at Sodom, what taken place. What was it in Sodom? Abraham...

L-92   There is always three classes of people. There was Abraham, the elected and called out, outside of Sodom itself. There was Lot, the church member, or denominational man, down; he became part of that world, by being the mayor of the city, set in the gate; he was the judge, which is a mayor. And there was Sodom, itself.

L-93 Now, at the evening time, or the middle of the day, when Abraham was under his oak, three Angels appeared to him. Two of them went down in Sodom, and preached the Gospel and tried to call them out. They wouldn't do it; they were perverted. Lot, and his wife, only, and two of his daughters, started out. And the wife turned to a pillar of salt.

L-94   But the One that stayed and talked to Abraham, that Abraham called, "Elohim, the Almighty." Genesis 1, "God! In the beginning, God," Elohim, the--the all-sufficient One, the self-existing One. Abraham called Him, "Elohim." And He set down and eat with Abraham; He drank; He was in human flesh. And watch the sign that He gave Abraham.

L-95 Now, they were looking for a coming son, a promised son, Isaac. Twenty-five years, on a long journey, they had looked for it, but they were at the end of the journey. God had appeared in many forms, as He has through the church ages, in Lights, and so forth, as He spoke to Abraham, and by voices. But just before the coming son arrived... Now we've been through it, and you know I'm just rehearsing, to get this to you. That, He changed the body of Abraham and Sarah, immediately after this, so they could receive the son.

L-96 Notice, the last sign that they got, before the son arrived, was Jehovah talking to them in the form of a man. And how they knowed this was Jehovah, because He said, "Abraham," not Abram. Just a few days before, God had changed his name. "Where is thy wife, Sarah?" Not S-a-r-r-a; but S-a-r-a-h, "princess."
And Abraham said, "She is in the tent, behind You."

L-97 And He said, "I," that's a personal pronoun, "I will visit you according to My promise. At the time of life, the next twenty-eight days, something is going to happen to Sarah."

L-98 And Sarah, in the tent, smiled in herself, and said in her heart, "How could this be, seeing I'm old; and have pleasure with my lord, who is also old, Abraham?"
