<TITLE>16. Par 53-55</TITLE>L-53 Here come Noah and Enoch with THUS SAITH THE LORD, building away on an ark. Now, notice, Satan's system laughed at God's system. Now, compare that with today: "holy-rollers," and whatmore (See?), scoffers, the Bible said. They laugh at God's system. Satan's system laughed at God's system. They thought it didn't stand up to their own science and reasonings.
Now, they said, "That old fellow up there on the hill building that ship, and he says there's some water coming down from up there. Now, we've got the best scientists in the world. Now, they probably have a radar that they can shoot plumb to the moon and whatmore, and can prove that there is no water there. Now, how's there any coming down? Old fellow, you're crazy."
"But I've got, THUS SAITH THE LORD." Built right away, stood right in the door of the ark, preaching the Gospel, and building away, and watching Enoch.
When he come in of an evening said, "Did they take it down there?"
"No, they laughed at me. They throwed rotten eggs at me and everything else."
"Did the same thing up here, but let's pound right away. See?
Oh, they call me a "holy-roller" and everything, else but that's all right."
They all gathered in for prayer meeting and went on just the same. See? Just exactly the way it's doing today, because they knowed they were fortified, because they were standing behind THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Now, the common ordinary reasoner would say, "Oh, that's nonsense."

L-54 A woman once said... One time I was... This boy taught Sunday school at the Baptist church, and I was preaching up there one night. And I met him downtown; I was on my bicycle. I was downtown and I met him. He was on a bicycle. He pulled over to the side; he said, "Billy, I come up to hear you the other night," and said, "I was enjoying what you was saying till that woman got to crying and going on, and all them people saying, 'Amen,'" and said, "I just couldn't stand it," See? He said, "It made shivers run up my back to hear them people, 'Amen.' right when you was saying something."
I said, "Brother, it didn't affect me like that." I said... He said... I said, "I tell..." I said, "You don't believe in saying, 'Amen,' and that little shouting and things they was doing?"
Said, "No, I don't believe that."
I said, "If you'd ever get to heaven, you'd freeze."
I said, "Because they're... If that made a shiver run over your back, what's it going to be when the Angels and standing before God, day and night, screaming, 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty. Holy, holy, holy.' Why this is the quietest world you'll ever live in." That's right.
In hell there's going to be weeping and wailing; in heaven there's going to be screaming and shouting. So you're going to... You're in the quietest place you'll ever be right now. So you might as well get used to it, one place or the other. So I'd just rather take my choice and get behind God's Word. Wouldn't you? Just keep pushing it on. It's "THUS SAITH THE LORD, THUS SAITH THE LORD." Just keep pushing it on. All right.

L-55 Yeah, it didn't stand up to their scientific specification. And today when they see the Spirit of God that can discern the thoughts of the heart as God said so, tell forth and foretell, speak in tongues, interpret, all these different gifts, they say, "That's a telepathy," See? They try to bring it in. They say, "Well, we see it being done, but you know what it is. It's just a human telepathy."
But it's, "THUS SAITH THE LORD."
Jesus said, "These signs shall follow them that believe," that's all I know. How long? "To the end of the world."
It don't stand up to their scientific research, so they laugh at it, and they did the same thing in the days of Noah. Oh, yes. It don't stand up to their reason. You can't reason it out, but it's God's Word just the same. All right.
