<TITLE>11. Par 38-40</TITLE>L-38 Noah, a great man of God, was very persistent in his days. He lived in a smarter age than we live in, more of a scientific age than we live in, because in them days they built a pyramid. We cannot build it.
I've been in Egypt at the pyramids. The Sphinx, we couldn't reproduce it if we had to. Some of them... And that pyramid is so geographically set in the center of the earth, till there's never a shadow around it, no matter where the sun is. See? And another thing, there is boulders in there, way up in the air, that we have no machinery, no gasoline powers that could ever lift those boulders up there. See?
But they built it. They could achieve it. They had a--a way of doing it; maybe atomic power, or hydrogen power, or something. But gasoline power and electrical power, you couldn't make machine big enough to lift it up there. So how'd they get it up there? And it's so perfect masonry, till you can't run a razor blade around the--the places where they're setting together, hundreds and hundreds of tons. How did they do it? How did they build them?
They could make a mummy, take a body and embalm it that still has features looking right today, after around almost four thousand years ago, still looks natural. A coloring that we can't duplicate at all. They were smart, intelligent. Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the coming of the Son of man."

L-39 Did you know intelligence and smartness is a mark of sin and destruction? Follow the lineage of--of Ham's children. Look at Cain's children. They all become down to the antediluvian time. They were smart, bright, intelligent people, and they were scientists. They... And builders of iron, and so forth... But Seth's children were humble peasants that produced a Enoch and a Noah. But these others were scientific men, educated, smart, shrewd.
Didn't Jesus say the children of the night is smarter than the children of the day? He likened his people unto lambs. Anybody ever herd sheep? A lamb, when he's lost, is totally lost. He can't find his way at all. He's got to have a leader. And that's the way we are. We're not supposed to know very much, just enough to live for God. And God is our Leader that directs us. But we won't let Him do it. We back off like a goat and--and carry on. See? But we... It... them--them's are marks.

L-40 And the days of Noah, when Noah come out and said, "It's going to rain."... He preached one hundred and twenty years that water was going to fall from the skies. There'd never been any water up there (No, sir.), never been water in the skies. Could you imagine those scientists of that days? That didn't meet their scientific specification. Neither does the Holy Ghost today meet the scientific specification. Neither does the miracles and signs of God meet their scientific--what they think should be right... specifications, I was going to say. That don't make any difference. God spoke it, and it's so anyhow. And the faith that can lay a hold of it, holds onto it.
