<TITLE>15. Par 50-52</TITLE>L-50 And someone... Many times people... I noticed some of them questions I didn't get to answer; they ask that question. Said, "Brother Branham, I disagree with you." The precious brother that wrote some of the nicest articles that I'm going to now, Brother... (What's that guy's name we're going to preach for up there now this next meeting up here at South Pine or Southern Pines? Parker, Thomas Parker.) He said, "There's one thing that I have to disagree with Brother Branham." Said, "He believes that the church will not go through the tribulation." Said, "I believe the church goes through the tribulation for purification."
What happened to the Blood of Jesus then. See? There's no place in any parable, or in any Word, that the church goes through the tribulation. They... (Have to put that on these men that's not bald-headed--they don't get hoarse so quick.) There's no place where the church ever goes through the tribulation period. Christ's Blood in the fullness of the application of the Blood of Jesus Christ cleanses all sin. And why do we have to be purged? We are purged daily. No tribulation...
Listen. Listen what Jesus said in Saint John 5:24, "He that heareth My Words and believeth on Him that sent Me has Everlasting Life, and shall not come to the judgment, but has passed from death unto Life." Amen.

L-51 Enoch, prophet... Noah is a type of the Jews, a remnant, God's servants; and Enoch, the great prophet who prophesied of the Lord coming, was translated, raptured before the flood. Noah was carried through for a--to preserve seed on the earth.
Now, God sent His Word by His prophet, Noah. And when Noah and Enoch begin to prophesy... And then just before the flood struck, what happened? Enoch went up; Noah went through. See? Enoch was translated. Noah's sign was watching Enoch. When Enoch come up missing, then Noah knew the flood was at hand 'cause he was keeping his eye on Enoch.

L-52 Now, Satan in this time set up the same system that he did in the garden of Eden: reasoning against the Word of these prophets: same thing. Now, Satan set his system up. He had more than one or two people to deal with now; he had billions to deal with. The antediluvian time, more people probably than there are now. They'd multiplied all over the face of the earth. There was a great earth of people in them times, probably far more than there is now. And now look, Satan, in order not to set up with one, with Eve, he set him up a system. What was it? To combat the Word of the Lord that came to the prophets. You get it? He uses that same old tactic every time; and God stays with His thing, the Word.
