<TITLE>13. Par 39-40</TITLE>L-39 I can see Him. Let's dramatize this. I can see Him coming down into this first dimension of lost souls. [Brother Branham knocks--Ed.] Knock at the door. Opened up the door. That wailing mass of beautiful women, wretched hags, men, all screaming and crying: torment. "Oh, if I could get out of here..."
He knocked at the door; the door swung open. There stood the Son of the living God in a celestial body. Said, "I am the Son of God that Enoch said would come with ten thousands of His saints. I'm the One that Noah spoke of. I'm the woman's Seed from the garden of Eden. The heavens had just testified of Me. The earth has testified of Me. Judas testified of Me. The Roman soldier testified of Me. The Father testified of Me. Now, you got to know that I'm here to fulfill the Word of God." Hallelujah.
Every demon knowed He was there. Oh, when He was on earth they screamed and hollered, "We know Who You are, the Holy One of God." They knew Him even if preachers didn't. They knew Who He was.
And then they screamed, "Let us out."
He said, "Why didn't you repent?" Slam, went the door. On down He went in below the demons. Down through that line of demonology, they screamed and hollered and got back. They knowed where they went. When He cast them out of the demo--the demons out of the man of Gadara, they went into the swine, choked theirself. They seen that Presence of that holy One coming, walking through there. They hid like a bunch of roaches on, when the lights is turned on in the summertime when they're gnawing on a apple core. Put me in the mind of some preachers, when you turn the Gospel light on, they scatter. "Don't go there to hear that." Put me in the mind of big old bunch of roaches in the summertime. In the darkness they can nimblely go, but turn the light on one time. That's right. All right.

L-40 The next thing He did, He come on down through that other trinity, on down into hell. I can just see Him go up to the door. [Brother Branham knocks as on a door--Ed.] Satan walked to door and said, "Oh. So you finally got here, did you?"
"Yes, I'm here."
"I thought you when I--I had you when I killed Abel. I thought I'd shot you when I got Abel. I was sure I had you when I throwed Daniel into the lions den. When I beheaded John, I thought I had you then. Well, when you was on the cross, I thought I had you. But finally you've arrived."
Jesus said, "Yes, I've arrived. And I've arrived for one purpose; you have put fear and chills over the people long enough. I come down to take over." That's right. Oh, He said, "I am the virgin born Son of God."
"Oh, I got a right; Adam sinned."
"But My Blood's still wet on the cross that paid that sin. Yes, sir. I come down to take over. Give me the keys of death and hell." He done give the keys to the kingdom to Peter: the church. Yes, sir. He said, "Give Me the keys of death and hell." You notice, when He rose, He had them hanging on His side. Said, "Give me the keys of death and hell." Reached over and grabbed Satan by the neck, [Brother Branham demonstrates--Ed.] throwed him down, put His foot on him; reached over and grab them off. Said, "You've fooled people long enough. Get back in there where you belong." Hang them on His side. "I'm the Boss now. My Blood has been shed up there on the cross for the remission of sin and for sickness. You can't keep them there any longer. There will be people who will believe Me. You can't bind them up with sickness. You can't bind them up with fear. They will believe." Hallelujah. The keys of death and hell...
