<TITLE>10. Par 99-110</TITLE>L-99 And then he says that the Word of the Lord come to him, after him being a vindicated prophet, that the Word of the Lord come to him and said, "Prepare an ark, for it's going to rain." And it had never rained, in all the history of the world. And upon his testimony and his witness for God, and said God told him so, "And all that was out of this ark would perish."

L-100   And the scientists could shoot the moon, in that day, with their radar and so forth, because Jesus said, "As it was in the days of Noah," same kind of an age. He said that they could prove that there was no rain up there, and that Mr. Unbeliever here, and Mr. Scoffer, and Mr. Skeptic, that they constantly haunted at him and made fun of him, for believing such a rashal thing. They were, claimed to be believers back there, but he said, "God didn't say a thing like that."

L-101 Yet, he was a prophet, and the Word of the Lord come to him and told him to do it. And he went, preparing an ark. He got ready, and built the ark. After he had the ark completed; and Mr. Skeptic, and Mr. Impatient, and those walking around the ark.
You see, you say, "Did they live back there?"

L-102   Listen, God takes His man, but never His Spirit. The Spirit that was upon Elijah, come upon Elisha, and on down, and on down. The Spirit was upon Jesus, come upon the Church, and on, and on.

L-103 And the Devil takes his man, but never the spirit. The same spirit, religious spirit, exists right down, like was on the Pharisees. It's right here in Tucson, Arizona, just as unbelieving, and just as--and just as creedy and--and traditional as that was. Not only here in Tucson; it's world over.

L-104 And so is the Holy Spirit just as real tonight as it was at any time, Jesus Christ.

L-105   Notice. He wants to say that these people made fun of him, for being such a--a--a--a--a delinquent person, that would have no more mind and no more intelligence than to believe that water would fall from where there is no water at, and never had fell. But, yet, Noah said he held steady and believed that it would rain, because God said so. He knowed that God was able to do anything that He said He would do, therefore he built the ark.

L-106 And after the ark was completed, he set in the door of the ark. "And they said, 'Now, you fanatic,' Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Scoffer. The defense Witness... Or, the prosecutor's witnesses." He said, "They passed by me. And they said, 'Now your ark is built. Now you got your doors in it. And where is your rain?' But it looked pretty bad," he said, "at times. But, yet, I knowed that God was able to keep His Word. He never said when it was going to rain. He said it would rain. And that's all there was to it. He never said when it would rain. He just said it was going to rain. And I knew that it was going to rain, because He had me to build the ark. And I set steady."

L-107   And then we find out that, on May the tenth, he went into the ark, one morning, and the door closed behind him, and no one could open it.

L-108 Then Mr. Unbeliever, Mr. Skeptic, they walked around the ark and laughed at him and made fun of him, and said, "Now, you old fogy, you closed that door, and I suppose you expect us to believe that Something else closed it. We know your tricks. You're no more than a magician. And you're just one of these here kind of a guys that tries to play tricks. And it's some kind of a hoax. And you closed the door."

L-109 "But," he said, "in the midst of all that, I was there. I seen the hand of God close the door."

L-110 Then, the first day, we'll say, "We'll see if it rains." First day, it didn't rain. Second day, it didn't rain. Third day, it didn't rain. On, till the seventh day.
