The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 59

Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour. (Isaiah 43:10-11) 176 When, “God,” in the Bible, the word in Genesis, Genesis 1 said, “In the beginning God…” Take that name God in the Hebrew, and see what it means. It’s spelled El, Elah, Elohim, which means “the all, self-existing One, the all-sufficient One, the strong One.” There was nothing before That. There was no air. There was no stars. There was no moisture. There was no—there was no atmosphere. There was no atoms. There was no molecules. There was nothing before That. It was God, the Eternal One. And in Him were attributes, to be a Saviour, to be a Father, to be God. There, He wasn’t God, then. He was—He was God, but there wasn’t nothing else, no worship. So, God is “an object of worship,” and there was nothing to worship Him. So there was attributes in Him to be that, to be a Saviour, to be a Healer, to be all these things that He is. 177 So, the first thing He created. Now, some of you want to know about my Genesis story. God said, “Let us make man.” The first thing He created was Angels, to worship Him, then He become God. Then when He said, “Let us make man after our Own image,” what kind of a man did He make? Spirit man. Then, when He made that man, He give him control. Then He made man out of the dust of the earth. Then, he fell; then He become a Saviour. A God, then a Saviour. Sin brought on sickness, then He become a Healer. Hallelujah! There ain’t nothing going wrong. He knowed all about it, before the world was ever formed. He knew we’d have this meeting tonight. He knowed every gnat would ever be on the earth, and how much tallow he would make, and how many times he’d bat his eyes. He’s the infinite God. He knows all things. Amen. Aren’t you glad, tonight, that your name is on the Book? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] 60-0911e - "Five Definite Identifications Of The True Church Of The Living God" Rev.
