And remember, in glory the first thing that ever caused the first sin, that Satan wanted a little better things than what Michael had, went over and set himself up a—a better, beau—more beautiful kingdom. See? That’s beauty. Here it falls right down into his son, Cain, coming right on down. And he decorated his altar, beautiful. But here comes Abel dragging a little old lamb behind him. I don’t see nothing so pretty about that. They didn’t have any ropes in them days, I guess, so they had a vine, maybe, wrapped around his neck, because it was—it was Christ. That’s Who It was. For they led Him away like a La—Lamb to the slaughter. They put a rope around his neck. And here he come, leading this little lamb, bleating, pulling back. He laid him upon a rock. Perhaps didn’t have any sharp knives in them days. Probably took an old sharp rock, and held his little head back, and begin to beat his little throat; Abel did. See? And the blood begin to spurt out of his little arteries in his neck. Did you ever hear a lamb dying? Most pathetic thing you ever heard is to hear a lamb die. How it bleeds and bleats.
