<TITLE>05. Par 50-57</TITLE>L-50 Now, someday when we go to be with Him, these spirits in here that can feel that Spirit, presses into that. Then on the resurrection when He makes Hisself visible, we'll be made visible and have a body like His own glorious body. For when we come from the spirit world, He will bring us with Him. All that are dead in Christ will God bring with Him in the resurrection. Oh, what an enlightenment, what a blessed thing.
Oh, if I wouldn't take this... Oh, if I could be made king over the whole earth and guaranteed to live a million years, I wouldn't take a year's worship of the Lord, and the things that I have seen in the past year and learned of God, for all the riches of the worlds. This blessed hope... After that one million years, or whatever it would be, I would cease to exist.

L-52 Sometime ago, Brother Cox (standing at the back of the building now) and I were setting on a... The driveway comes in to the house, and some crushed rock was on the road. In there was a little fossil of some sea animal or something that lived many, many years ago. I said, "Look at this thing here."
And Brother Cox said, "Brother Branham, wonder how old that really is?"
I said, "Well, Brother Cox, it's perhaps, chronologists would say, up into the millions of years, way back before this earth was ever inhabited by human beings, and the waters had covered the earth. Those animals perhaps lived many, many, many million years ago. But I..."
He said, "Look, Brother Branham," said, "isn't human life so short to that life? Just think, that fossil still remains after millions of years."
I thought, "Oh." I said, "Brother Cox, there'll be a time when that fossil won't be no more. There won't be one shadow of it. But because He raised from the dead, I'll live and you'll live forever and for countless ages."

L-57 When all fossils has faded away, and all hoary time has passed away, and shadows has dropped, we'll live on, live on and on forever. Because by accepting the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, we become immortal beings, groaning in the Spirit, waiting for the time of our deliverance, that we too will be with Him in His blessed Presence to live forever. What a marvel.
No wonder it's thrilled the hearts of the people. No wonder it's brought people to worship. No wonder that people today will crawl on their knees, and touch stones, and rub crosses, and--and so forth, because something within them, something down in the human soul is crying out for something that they can't find: "The deep calling to the deep..." And if there's a deep calling, there has got to be a deep to respond to it. There just has to be.
