<TITLE>13. Par 145-158</TITLE>L-145 "It's already passed, and you didn't know it." "There will be two in the bed; one will be taken, one left." You know, there is about several hundred people disappear on earth, every day, anyhow, you know. They can't make out for it.

L-146 And just think of it, the sadness, that people will go right on preaching, and believing they're getting saved.

L-147   And Noah entered into the ark, and the door shut behind him, with the hand of God. The sun come up, and went down, seven days before anything happened. And the people went right on preaching, right on making fun, and everything else, not knowing that their only mercy they ever had was closed off from them.

L-148 Think, ministers will still be educating preachers and setting them out, and things like that a going on, just the church moving on; and completely without mercy, without anything, cut off completely; the Rapture is gone. "Let him that's filthy be filthy still," Scripture says that. "Already come and you didn't know it." Think about that, tonight, friends, and watch what's going on.

L-149   There is not nothing in the world can comfort you now but the Word of God. See? There is no other hopes; your nation, nowhere else.

L-150 We're worm-eaten to the core. You know that. Communism has worm-eaten the thing. It's suppose... It's got to be that way. You ain't going to stop it. The Bible said it was going to be that way, so you just ain't going to stop it. That's all.
Get ready for the Rapture. That's the only thing to do.

L-151   Thessalonians, the--the First Thessalonians 4:17 said that, "We'll be changed," like Abraham was, "and caught up," a different body. Now, Abraham, their old bodies had to be changed. So will ours have to be changed, to fulfill the promise. We'll have to be changed. Now you say, these old bodies? I wanted to...

L-152 I was speaking at a Kiwanis, here sometime ago. And a... and a doctor came out, afterwards, and he said, "Mr. Branham," said, "I appreciate your talk, but," said, "you know, I can't believe that--that--that, anything, unless it can be scientifically proved, about that virgin birth and things like that, and about being God."

L-153 I said, "Well, you'll never believe Him, 'cause you can't scientifically prove God. You got to believe Him by faith, by faith."
He said, "Well, I don't believe anything that's not scientific."
I said, "Are you a married man?"
He said, "Yes, sir."
I said, "Do you love your wife."
He said, "I sure do."

L-154 I said, "Scientifically show me what love is then. I want to buy some, if you can tell me what drugstore sells it. I really need it." I said, "I..." See, just a simple thing.

L-155   I said, "I'll ask you a question. Now, here, are we made from the dust of the earth?"
He said, "Yes, sir."

L-156 I said, "We receive that dust by eating the food that comes from the earth, and it is plant life, and so forth."

L-157 You see, you can only live by dead substance. See? If you live, something has to die so you can live, physically. If you eat potatoes, it died. If you eat beef, the cow died. If you eat pork, the hog died. If you eat the greens, it died. It's a form of life. And you only live, natural, by--by substance of something dead. Dead substance! Now doesn't it only stand to reason, friend, that you can only Eternally live by the substance of something that died for you? Christ died, yea, rose again, to vindicate His Deity. Notice now.

L-158   I said, "Doctor, if I eat food then, every time that I eat food, it goes into my body and it makes blood cells."
He said, "That's right."
"Then every time I eat, I renew my life."
He said, "That's correctly, new blood cells."
