<TITLE>11. Par 40-43</TITLE>L-40 "I am He that Enoch said would come. And you failed to hear My prophet." And they screamed, "Oh, mercy." But there's no mercy. The door was closed on down a past the demons that had already recognized it, into the very doors of hell [Brother Branham knocks on pulpit again--Ed.] The doors opened. There stood Satan. Said, "Oh, You finally arrived, did You? I thought I had You when I had Abel killed. I thought I had that seed that was promised."
Satan's always looked for that Seed. He knowed that seed would be the conqueror. "You're here in hell." But Jesus had went there because one preacher had prophesied under the Spirit and said, "I will not leave His soul in hell." He believed God's Word. "Neither will I suffer My holy One to see corruption." He knew within three days, He'd come out of the grave. Seventy-two hours the human body corrupts. He knowed not one cell would corrupt, 'cause God's Word said so. See how He trusted the Word?
And we call ourselves believers in Him and afraid to even rest our sickness with Him (Oh, my.), afraid to talk to our boss about Him, afraid to testify on the street, ashamed of it. What will we do in the day of judgment?

L-41 Look at Him. The devil said, "Now, I've got You."
I can see Him walk over to the devil, put His hand to his face, say, "Satan, you've been a--in authority a long time. But I am the virgin born Son of God. My Blood's still wet on the cross. I've come down to take over." I can see Him reach on his side, and jerk off those keys of death and hell, and hang them on His own side. Satan would be pushed right back and slammed the door in his face. He took over; He conquered hell.
He was going out. Wait, there's somebody else that believed Him. Way over yonder in paradise, there's a group of believers that couldn't enter into the Presence of the Father, because they went under the burnt offering: sheep, and goats, sprinkling of heifer's ashes. They could not go into the Presence of the Father, because animal blood would not atone for sin. It had to wait. It was just a substitute. That was the place called paradise.

L-42 It's getting towards break of day. I can see Him as He comes up to that door. [Brother Branham knocks four times--Ed.] Sarah said, "Abraham, go open the door, see who that is." Abraham walks out, opens the door. Said, "Come here, honey, look here. Look Who's standing here. That's the same One that come and eat with us that day under the oak."
About that time, I can see Daniel say, "What did you say?" Oh, he said, "There He is. That's that Stone that I saw hewed out of the mountains."
Ezekiel said, "What did you say, Daniel? Oh, there He is. That's that wheel in the middle of the wheel, turning way up in the middle of the air. There He is."
Job jumped up and said, "What did you say?" He said, "That's the One that I saw. I said, 'I know my Redeemer liveth. And at the last days, He will stand upon the earth. Though the skin worms destroys this body; yet in my flesh, I'll see God.' There He is. That's Him. I recognize Him."

L-43 The prophets and saints looked on and recognized Him. Sure, they were waiting for Him. Oh, He said, "Children, get ready. We're going out of here." Blessed be the Name of the Lord. I'm so glad that my book is on--my up in heaven--my name is on His register. I'm so glad that my sins are under the Blood, been signed, "pardoned" by His own precious Blood. I'm so glad that I know Him. I'm sure that every Christian can say, "Amen" to that. I'm so glad that one of these mornings, He will come for us.
And I can hear Abraham say, "What did You say, Lord?"
He said, "It's almost daylight on earth. And you remember, on the third day, I'm to rise." Well, that's right.
I hear Abraham say, "Listen, Lord, can we make a little whistle-stop? Sarah and I have been wanting to look around the old land for a long time. Can we make just a little whistle stop?"
Said, "Yeah, I'm going to talk to My disciples for forty days. You can have plenty of time."
