<TITLE>13. Par 44-46</TITLE>L-44 As I preached a few nights ago, even the queen of the south come all the way across the Sahara Desert, three months on a camel, to hear the wisdom of Solomon. The whole world looked to them.
And when this nation was founded we had godly men who founded it: George Washington, Abraham Lincoln. Valley Forge, when--prayed all night long, that leader, and bullets went through his coat the next day, without miss--hitting without him. Abraham Lincoln, a God-fearing man...
What did we do a few days ago? We did the same thing Israel did: elected Ahab to the--to the White House. Now, Ahab was a pretty good sort of a fellow. He wanted to repent. But Jezebel, he was married to her, and he couldn't do it. She was the neck that turned the head. And we did the same thing: put a man up there that's married to that Jezebel system that we run from, and become a free nation from. Oh, you politicians, that's sold your birthright of Christianity... I'll stop on that. Let's go back. God's promised it. God said it would happen, Revelation 13, so there's no way of getting around it. I just want you to know where you're standing, and what you did.

L-45 And some of my precious colored people that voted a ticket like that, why, you've brought disgrace to the blood of Abraham Lincoln that took the slave belt from your fathers. Exactly right. I wouldn't have thought you would've done it. My, don't you know what you did? Why did you sell out to a--a few extra dollars, the god of the belly instead of the god of the heart. That's what the nations has gone to, is a few extra dollars.
That's what's the matter with Ahab. But, brother, they had one old prophet down there that he didn't compromise with them. He blasted them out. Every one of the organizations kicked him out. They hated him, but he sure told them what was right. And when he got through blasting that old painted-up Jezebel about them women, the way they were acting, they all hated him. But one day God said, "You've preached long enough. Get out there in the wilderness. Now I'm going to send judgment." And it did. He did.
Oh, at the hour that we're living, friends... But there's one thing sure, one thing sure. When we see our nation gone, we see the world gone, there's one thing that's eternally sure, and that's God's Word. What God said, God will keep his Word.

L-46 Let's just take a few characters, that I have written on a piece of paper here, that I like to refer to; a few characters that were sure. And you can be sure.
You cannot be sure of God's Word if you just read it; God's got to speak through the Word to you.
Now, Noah... Noah was just as sure it was going to rain as it could be. He was certain of it. There was no uncertain sound when God said, "Noah, build a house--a ark to prepare for the saving of your household." That was no uncertain sound. It seemed like to the people it was uncertain when some wild man, farmer, got some silly idea in his head, that he was going to build away on an ark; and it had never rained, or dew had never fell from heaven, or anything.
I can hear the critics say, "Say, Mr. Noah, tell me, where--where's the rain coming from?"
Well, Noah might've said something like this: "I am certain that was the voice of Almighty God."
"Well, how's the rain coming?"
"If that was God's voice said it's coming, God's able to put it up there to fall down." He was certain it was going to rain, because God's Word said so and it was certain. And he knew it was certain.
