<TITLE>07. Par 36-43</TITLE>L-36   We could call lots more, things could be said. But, we don't want to keep you too long, got a big prayer line. I want you, court, to listen.

L-37 The Defense Witness now will call His witness. See, the Defense Witness has a right to call a witness, because the prosecutor turn, called a witness. Now the Defense Witness is going to call a witness. And the Defense Witness wish to present to this court, this afternoon, the prophet Noah. "Come forward, Noah, and take the stand. Now, I understand that you have a testimony concerning a Word of God that was given to you."
"Yes."

L-38 The Witness today wants to say, to this court, that he was just an ordinary man and he believed God. And he lived in a scientific age, where they believed that the days of miracles never was. There had never been rain upon the earth, but one day he met God. And God told him to prepare an ark for the saving of the people, and all would come in this ark would be saved. And the Witness wants to say that he solemnly, with all his heart, believed It. And he went to preaching It. And he went, not only preached it, but, to make his--his works testify of his faith, he started building the ark.

L-39   And the witness wants to point a finger to Mr. Unbeliever, and to Mr. Skeptic, and Mr. Impatient. "They haunted me day and night. 'When is that rain going to fall? Ah, you said that a year ago, and there's no rain up there. We have went to the scientists and they proved there's no rain up there.' And they claimed that I was crazy. And they scoffed at me and told me that I was altogether 'foolish and simple' to believe such a rashel promise as that, against scientific research." But he said, "I worked on on the program, because, I held steady because I knowed It was God's Word and It can't fail. I built the ark.

L-40 "And after the ark was completed, then the scoffers run around and around the ark, daily, as I stood in the, door preaching to them. And they still said, 'Now, that's been a hundred and twenty years ago, now where's your rain? So, you see, your labor's all in vain,' they said. 'Our scientists are right, and there is no such a thing. And you're altogether a simple old man for believing in such a rashel promise as that.'

L-41   "And then the day come when I started to walk out one morning, out of my ark. And, all of a sudden, without a hand on it, the door closed right in my face, and I was sealed on the inside. 'Now what's happened?' Then I climbed the ladders that I had built, and got up in the top, and pulled back the window. And I could hear them on the outside; Mr. Unbeliever sitting over there, Mr. Skeptic, and Mr. Impatient; saying, 'Now what's happened? He trapped his ownself!' And I thought surely the rain would fall then. And the day that I went in was on the 27th... or the 17th day of May. The door shut in my face. I called my people together, and said, 'Get ready, the rain will be falling in the next few minutes.' And, all day long, Mr. Unbeliever and Mr. Skeptic and Mr. Impatient walked around and around my ark, criticizing me, saying all kinds of evil about me. But I told my congregation, 'Be quiet. God made the promise!'

L-42 "The second day, the sun come up, bright; no rain, no thunder, and no lightning. The third day, the same, the fourth, fifth, sixth. But on the morning of the 24th day of May (one hundred and twenty years later), there come a gusher coming down from Heaven. And all the anointed by Mr. Skeptic, Unbeliever, and Mr. -patient perished on the outside."

L-43   Defense Witness said, "Step down, Noah. I want to call another witness. Come up, Mr. Abraham, I want you to give testimony."
