<TITLE>19. Par 194-204</TITLE>L-194 Now, listen. Even before the birth, or even before the antediluvian world, the antediluvian world, before it was destroyed with water, Jesus Christ was preached to the people. In the garden of Eden Jesus Christ was preached to the people. Did you know that?
When Jesus died at the cross to fulfill... That was Jesus, not the Holy Spirit in Him. See? When He died at the cross and His soul, not God's Spirit, but His soul went to hell, 'cause He had to... The Bible said He would. But Jesus believed that He'd raise up again in three days, 'cause He knowed three days corruption would set in.
And David said, "I'll not leave My holy One see corruption, neither will I leave His soul in hell."
Jesus said, "You destroy this body, in three days it'll raise up again." Within three days... He wasn't there exactly to the minute three days. It was sometime within that three days, He'd raise up again. For He knew He'd go to... His body would go to rottening, plain words; it would go to deteriorating, going away, after three days.
And He knowed that not one cell would corrupt, for He said, "I'll not suffer My holy One to see corruption." Hallelujah. Jesus, with one single Scripture, spoke by a backslidden preacher, under inspiration, believed it, and trusted His soul to go to hell. That's right. [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.]

L-199 And He went and preached to the souls that were in prison, that repented not in the long-suffering of the days of Noah while the ark was being prepared.
They had Enoch and all the rest of them, and the pyramids and everything, as they erected them, and preached the Lord Jesus Christ to them, and they refused to accept it, being heady, high-minded, and refused to accept It.

L-201 And Jesus come to the gates of hell, and said, "I'm He that the prophets said would be here." Hallelujah. "You see I'm here. God's Word's infallible. Thousands of years has passed by, four thousand years, but I'm here. My Blood's on Calvary this morning." Sure. God's Word's real. "So why didn't you repent?" They were lost and doomed.
So will it be when the coming of the Lord will come again. God's Word's infallible. What He said would take place will take place; there's nothing can stop it. No hindrance can stop it. No matter how times change, how people change, how preachers change, how churches change, God's Word will remain. It's going to come. He will be here. He will come in His glory, with all of His Angels. That's right. God's Word said so.
And someday, every individual setting in this room today will bear record, seeing Him coming in glory. He will be coming to your joy or to your sorrow, one or the other. That's right. He's got to come. God's Word's infallible.

L-204 Remember the Statue of Liberty up there, out in the arm that night. I guess I've told it here before. I seen those little old sparrows laying around there, around that big glass there, with little old heads beat off. I said to the guide; I said, "Well, what, them there?"
He said, "Well, they had a storm last night." And he said, "When the lights was on the Statue of Liberty, the little old birds caught out there in the storm and darkness. And instead of trying to use the light to fly to safety, they flew against it, trying to beat it out." Now, the very same light that caused them to die could cause them to live, if they'd used it right. He said, "And they're laying there, because their brains is beat out. They, trying to beat that light out. Accepted light, and saying, 'thank you,' and letting it lead them; they tried to beat it out."
I said, "Praise God."
