  31-3  {181}    Notice, he--he built this altar and he's--more--more like put flowers and fixed it up and put beautiful fruits, and thought, "Surely, a great, holy, clean, beautiful God will accept that sacrifice." But, see, he done it with his own wisdom. He done it by his own thoughts, and that's what it is today. He--he... They do it by their own wisdom, by their schooling, by their education and ethics that they have learned.

But Abel by a revelation, by faith, offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice. Nothing clean about it as far as it looked, humanly speaking, the little fellow, and grabbing him by the neck, and wrapping a vine around him like that, and pulled him along to this altar. There was nothing so beautiful about it, laying him upon the altar and hacking his little throat with a--a sharp rock until his blood flying all over him, him bleating, dying. It was a horrible sight (See?) to see it.

It was simple though. In simplicity he knowed that he was born of his mother and father's blood, born in his mother's blood by his father's blood, and it was blood that caused the fall, so it was blood that would take it back. So he offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice 'cause it was revealed to him.

  126    Paul tells us the Blood speaks. Blood speaks, did we say? Does the Blood speak, can it speak, that Token speak? Yes, sir.

If we'd--we'd look in Genesis 4:10, the voice of the blood of Abel cried out against Cain. We find out in Hebrews 12:24 that the Blood of Jesus Christ speaks better things. The Blood speaks. How can the chemistry speak? It's the life that's in the blood that does the speaking. The soul that was in Cain that cried out--or in Abel. It was the Life that was in Christ that cries out better things than any... It speaks, and it speaks loud. It's the Holy Spirit. It speaks plain. It tells us that the time is here, when we see it. For it said it would say it. And then we see it come back and identify what it said. It's... There's nothing else left but to believe it (That's right.), to receive it.

  47-6    Paul tells us that the blood speaks. That... Anyone knows that the blood is, actually, itself, can't speak. It's a chemistry. Is that right? How many knows that? But how many knows that the blood speaks? If you want to put that down: Genesis 4:10. God said, "What about your brother?" Said, "His blood cries from the earth against you." Amen. Is that right? His blood's a speaking. Hallelujah. God said, "What about him?"

He said, "I'm not my brother's keeper."

He said, "His blood's crying out. His blood's a crying out." It's a token. It's a token that he'd been killed. His blood was crying out against him.

  47-6    Now, if you get that in Genesis 4:10, then in Hebrews 12:24, start reading. In Hebrews 10... 12:4 said, "The Blood of Jesus speaketh better things than that of Abel."

See, Abel, he was a righteous man. He died; he died innocent because he was in the way. He was in the way, standing for the real revelation he had. He spoke; it's cried out; the justice blood of Abel cried out against Cain. But the Blood of Jesus Christ not only cried out, It redeemed. Amen. It speaketh better things. It makes you sons and daughters. It hides you from the wrath of God. See, the blood of Abel could not hide Cain (See?), but the Blood of Jesus can. Amen.

So Cain come out today. If you've been a persecutor against the Word, and say, "Days of miracles are passed. And this thing's all nonsense, and things..." It's crying out. See? The Blood of Jesus Christ cries out, that there's forgiveness in It, if you'll just accept It. Wish we could stay a little while on that (See?): Blood speaketh better things.
