<TITLE>12. Par 119-128</TITLE>L-119 But Noah, it bothered him not; he went right ahead because he knowed God's program. He knowed what God was going to do, Brother Kidd. He knew God's layout because he had talked to God, and it was according to the Word of God, and he went right on doing it anyhow. Whether science could prove it or anything else, or how much criticism was put upon Noah, he stayed right with God's Word and pounded right away. Why? It was becoming to him, because Noah was a prophet. And it was becoming to him that he kept the Word of God. He stayed with it.
It's becoming to any prophet, true prophet of God, that he stays with the Word. Regardless of what science can say, and what this can prove this or that, so forth, it--it--it's becoming that--that it fulfills all righteousness.

L-121 [Brother Branham pauses and silently reads a note--Ed.] All right. They sent word for me to pray for mom right away. "Pray for her now. Doctor just left." All right.
Now, Lord Jesus, I am standing here. That's my mother. If she's going, I commit her soul into the hands of God. But here's a message that's got to go on, Lord. There's living here that's got--got to die. You help me, Lord. I'm Yours. In Jesus' Name.
It's becoming to us. It's becoming to me now that I fulfill all righteousness. God's Word comes first. No love like God's love.

L-124 Now, Noah, no matter what the criticism was upon father Noah, he knew where he was standing, and so he stayed right with the Word. And he built the ark for the saving of his household, because it was becoming to him to do so. It was becoming to Noah, to--to do so.
It's becoming to every Christian to stand by the Word. Exactly right. Stand by God's Word. Heavens and earth will pass away. You'll pass away. I'll pass away. Churches will pass away. Organizations will pass away. But God's Word shall never pass away. Be faithful, faithful pilgrim.

L-126 In the days of Enoch, just before the flood, when Enoch looked out there and saw Noah building away on that ark. Enoch was a prophet. Enoch knew that he was a type. And he knew, that before the floods came, that he had to give an example, so one afternoon it was becoming to him to take a walk. It was becoming that he'd take this walk with God. And somehow that day he changed his path. Instead of going around the side of the hill, he took the King's Highway, and he just kept on walking. "And they found him not, because he was not," but he'd walked on up the King's Highway.
O God, let me be like Enoch. When the hour comes that I must take the path, let me find the King's Highway.

L-128 I can see Enoch as he knowed it was becoming to him, for he was a prophet, and he knew what was going to happen. So I can see him kiss his wife good-bye, and say, "Darling, I'll see you later." Take up his children and kiss them good-bye, and go down to his married son and his married daughter, and kiss them good-bye.
And say, "Where you going, father? Are you going out for a little walk?"
"Yes, going for a stroll."
But he never took the old familiar path that day. He took the King's Highway, and he went on to glory. It was becoming to him to do so. He didn't want to leave, but yet it was becoming to him that he fulfilled all righteousness. Because he was a type of the church today. He was a type of the church that's going to take an afternoon stroll, one of these afternoons. We're going to strike the King's Highway, and away we'll go.
