<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 As we notice and seen Noah, how he went about warning the people, saying there was coming a rain. The people didn't even know what the rain meant. It had never rained. And there's people in the world today, after two thousand years of Gospel preaching, don't know what it means to be borned again of the Spirit of God. They don't know what omnipotence means, what that God in His great omnipotent power, that can transform a soul from a--a street sinner to a angelic position in God's Kingdom as a son and daughter of God. They don't understand it. They're too in--taken up, infatuated with the things of the world: glaring, flirting with the world, and don't realize that that's a evil spirit, and a great marking signpost for the people of this day to watch and be ready.
Jesus said, "When these things begin to come to pass, lift up your head; your redemption's drawing nigh." Not only that, but God showed signs through Enoch. He showed signs through Noah, and the world laughed at it. But one day there come a thunder and lightning. There come fire out of heaven. A lightning and thunders begin to roar. That was a miracle in itself. And rain begin to fall.

L-18 But here is the great miracle: the miracle was of how God had His believing child tucked away in the ark of safety. All the time the thunder was going on, the rain was falling, Noah was resting in the ark of God, predestinated, foreordained to walk into that ark. When the plagues was falling, Noah was at rest in safety. Who had been laughed at, had then entered into the rest.
Those who they laugh and make fun of today because you desire to live a full surrendered life to the Lord Jesus; they don't realize is you are tucked away under His everlasting arms. Don't realize that you are resting just as safely as you can be in the omnipotence and nothing can harm you.
The ark begin to... water begin to come and the people begin to scream, and cry, and holler, and carry on. And instead of the ark staying there, it floated right above, all the time packing Noah and cradling him along in the waves. Sure, it was a signpost. God swept the world clean of sin. He was going to start a new one. The signs and wonders appearing before He did it.

L-19 Notice, at the coming out, when God liberated Israel who was in bondage down in Egypt... Before God turned one finger to Israel, the first thing He done was perform a supernatural sign to show that He was omnipotent, that He still lived. The priest and the rabbis of so forth of that day, thought that God had went out of existence, just like they do today. But God still is omnipotent, and He still performs the miraculous. And they thought that He had gone out of existence. But right in that midst of the time, God came down to a lowly humble family of Levi and brought forth a son, which was a deliverer. And how that little Moses was tucked away in this ark. Wish we had time to go into it and explain it, how they had took him out on the river there. And there in the midst of the crocodiles and everything else, performed the miraculous. How He preserved Moses right in the time, probably, when they thought all the days of miracles was passed.
But they were at the junction. They had the Word. They had Joseph's bones. Them was all right. They were signs, yes, that God still lived and reigned and was in one day. But not only that, but still besides the Word, they had the omnipotent God Who cannot fail, Who's the same yesterday, today and forever, Who stood in the midst of them all.
