23 Now, the Bible said, over here in—in Galatians 3:29, “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s Seed, and—and heirs according to the promise.” Now, we all will agree that the promise was given to Abraham. And we’ve often wondered, and I have approached this text in another angle than what I’m intending to this afternoon. I’ve approached it in the way of faith for the Church, the believers, and so forth, to build faith on healing, but being this afternoon, they didn’t, no one, for the cards, then I thought it’d give me a time to explain this, while we had a chance.

24 Now, Abraham, I want the congregation to say it with me, all the—the class, that I will call you, to say it with me, on this side is Abraham, “Abraham and his Seed after him.” Now, the promise was made to Abraham, and (conjunction that ties the sentence), Abraham and his Seed after him. Then the Scripture said, “If ye be in Christ, then ye are Abraham’s Seed.” Is that right?

25 Now, how do we get in Christ? The subject starts on this: How do we come, Christ? It’s when we are, become Christians. How do we become Christians? When we are filled with the Spirit of Christ, then our life is governed by the Life of Christ, which is in us.

20 So in typing, we see where the Old Testament types the New, and all these different shadows and types, like the—the moon and the sun is a type of Christ and the Church. And as the sun goes down, the moon gives light in the absence of the sun, just like as the Son left the earth to go into Glory to the Father, then the Moon, the Church, gives the Light. And how the moon gets its light is reflecting the sunlight to the earth, for a lesser light.

21 And all these things, it may seem more like a baby-form for great theologians, but I don’t believe I’m talking to too many of those, and if—if I am, then you excuse my illiterate way of trying to present it. But I would ask that you would search it thoroughly before you rudely disagree it.

22 Now to Abraham and his Seed, I’m going to take on this side over here to be Abraham, take on this side, like this speaker, his Seed after him. Now, this speaker here represents Abraham, and this speaker represents his Seed after him.

17 I—I want to take this subject, or the, draw from this subject the context I hope to be this: Abraham And His Seed After Him.

18 Now I would like to make…I believe these are speakers on each side here. And I want you to be sure to keep these in mind. And I’m going to…I got two pages of Scriptures written out here, that I would like to refer to these Scriptures to you, because that I truly believe, with all my heart, that we’re living just in the afternoon of time, of the evening Lights going out, and the—the coming of Christ is at hand. And I believe substantially, and Biblically I can prove that by the Scriptures, beyond any shadow of doubt, that we’re at the end time.

19 Now, whether I can satisfy you with it or not, I do not know, but to me, it certainly satisfies me. And being not efficient in education, therefore I approach the Scriptures from the standpoint of a type, and more like a typologist, to type what has been, what will be, because we know that the Scriptures each have a compound meaning. That, like in Matthew 3, it said, “Out of Egypt I have called my son,” now, if you’ll run that reference back, you’ll find out that it meant Jacob, His son, and also Jesus, His Son.

And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. (Revelation 6:1)

It's all right to have wisdom. But if the wisdom is contrary, if the wisdom isn't correct wisdom from God, Divine wisdom, and becomes natural wisdom, I don't care how much science we have, and whatmore, or education, it's of the devil. I'll prove it to you, the Lord willing, in a few minutes. It's of the devil. Civilization is of the devil. I just got through preaching on that. All culture in the earth, all powers of science, and everything, is of the devil. It's his gospel he preached of knowledge in the garden of Eden. And he's took that knowledge, perverted knowledge, contrary to the Word, and will, and plan of God, and now he's had six thousand years to do just exactly what God did, only in a perverted way, and took the same amount of time to bring his own Eden in. Now, he's got a Eden here on earth, and it's filled with wisdom, knowledge. That was his gospel at the beginning, knowledge, wisdom, science. Never did God ever cater to such. And I want you to watch a minute. He did this, and because that he was a man of worldly wisdom.

Now, it's hard to say this. It's very hard, because speaking to people who feel the same way I do, and the way I have been for many years. But since the opening of those Seven Seals, of them Angels just behind the mountain yonder, this has become a new Book. It's the things that's been hid is being revealed as God promised in Revelations 10 He would do it. And we are the privileged people that God has chosen of the earth, that we might see and understand these things; which is not some mythical, fleshly mind of a person trying to make it up. It's the Word of God made manifest, proven that it's right. Proven, not by science, but by God that it's right. God, as I have said before in a message, God doesn't need anyone to interpret His Word. He's His Own Interpreter. He says it'll happen, and it happens. He confirms it; that interprets it.

A few years ago when we Pentecostal people, when the other churches told us that we were crazy, we could not, the Holy Ghost was a thing past. But we find out that God's promise was to whosoever will, and now we know different. See? And that's just little by little, this thing has opened up. And now He promised that the mysteries that was hid in those, all of those church ages would be revealed right at the end time. And He lets us know now. We are at the end time. We're here now.

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child. (2 Kings 4:29)

Now, I believe he's just probing. But he knew that God had blessed whatever he touched. You see it? He believed that God blessed it. So he said, "God has blessed this. And if you'll it lay it on the baby, I believe that God will make it well."

Now, no matter what his faith was, if the woman's faith wasn't the same, then it won't work. You see what I mean? It takes your faith and your pastor's faith together. You too have got to have the same faith. And if you believe the same thing that the man of God has told you, then something's got to happen. So the man of God believed that he wouldn't have to go over there; he would just send the staff. But the woman said, "No, no, no. I going to stay right with you. I'm going to stay right here till I find out."

So then Gehazi said, "There's no breath in the baby. He's still dead."

So away they went, come into the yard, and now look at the crowd, everybody around, a wailing and screaming. What a place for faith. Elisha standing there, no vision, didn't know what to do, all he could do was look around. There was the father screaming, there was all the neighbors, and everybody carrying on. Well, he goes around to his little old chamber, and the woman had the baby laying on the bed, so he shut everybody out of the room, and pulled the door together, by himself. Went over in a corner, and knelt down, and begin to pray. When he got through praying, he got up, walked up and down the floor, back and forth, to and fro, up and down the floor, until the Spirit of God come upon him. When the Spirit of God come upon him, no doubt but what he saw a vision, goes over, stretches hisself on top of the baby, his nose again its nose, no prayer; just the nose against its nose, lips against its lips, eyes against its eyes, hands against its hands, and the baby sneezed seven times and come to life. What was that? That wasn't that preacher. That was Christ in His prophet that brought that baby back to life. Hallelujah.

Oh, my, when he stood out there then and said, "Gehazi, call that Shunammite." Amen.

The woman come to the door. Then all the good things that she had done, little did she know when she had that bed made in there for Elisha, and made his bed with her own hands, that someday her dead baby would be laying there, and the body of that prophet, through the Christ would bring that baby back to life again. You don't know what's happening when you try to do something for one another. Try to help one another. That's right. Like bread upon the water, it'll return to you someday.
