<TITLE>10. Par 37-39</TITLE>L-37 Old blind Fanny Crosby, if we could call her to the scene tonight, what do you think about Him? She was a poet. She said:
 Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
 Buried, He carried my sins far away;
 Rising He justified, freely forever:
 Someday, He's coming--oh, glorious day.
That was Eddie Perronet, instead of Fanny Crosby.
Fanny Crosby said:
 Pass me not, O gentle Saviour,
 Hear my humble cry:
 While on others Thou art calling,
 Do not pass me by.
 Thou, the Stream of all my comfort,
 More than life to me,
 Whom have I on earth beside Thee?
 Or Whom in heaven but Thee?"
Another one said,
 Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me; Buried, He carried my sins far away;
 Rising, He justified, freely forever:
 Someday, He's coming, oh, glorious day.

L-38 The mighty Conqueror, He died as a witness to the earth, to a witness to the prophets. At thirty-three years old, He conquered the cross. He conquered the shame. He conquered every devil.
And when He was dying, Jehovah God turned His face on Him, and He died alone forsaken by God and man. In the midst of all that, He was more than a conqueror. Amen. Oh, I feel pretty religious right now. He was more than a conqueror.
In the face of every difficult, death itself and forsaken of God, He walked to the front like a conqueror, died in such a way till even the people who stood by had to witness that He was. The earth shook and took a nervous prostration. A chill run over its back for shame. And its own Creator had to drop His Blood on the earth to redeem it.
The moon and stars refused to shine. The Roman centurion said, "Truly, that was the Son of God."
Pilate said, "I wash my hands from Him."
Judas Iscariot said, "I betrayed innocent Blood." What was it? Everything had to recognize Him. He'd been prophesied since the garden of Eden, the woman's Seed. All the prophets, everything gave...
Notice, It spoke forward to that time when the greatest Conqueror, when He would come and conquer everything that Adam lost in the fall. He would redeem it back to man. Oh, there was no king, monarch, potentate or nothing could take that place. The mighty Conqueror, Christ Jesus.

L-39 When He died, the Bible said that He descended into hell and preached to the souls that were in prison, that repented not in the long-suffering of the days of Noah. I can see Him after He had bowed His head and the earth had shook, I can see Him going, descending down into the regions of the lost. [Brother Branham knocks on the pulpit four times--Ed.] Knocks on the door. The door is open.
In there the tens of thousands and millions of young ladies that used to walk the street all fixed up and thought they were something, young men who failed to listen to the message, stiff-necked church members who turned their back. He said, "I am the One that Enoch said would come." God's Word said so, and God has to keep His Word.
