<TITLE>12. Par 123-136</TITLE>L-123   Now, perfectly, Noah was a type of those carried over. Remember, when Noah come out, Ham was with him. Sin was still in there. Sin went right on over, through the ark. Unbelief, doubt, went over in the ark, carried above the judgment. But Enoch went higher than the ark, he went on into the Presence of God. But Noah went through and come out, and there was still sin; type of the Millennium, of the world's condition.

L-124 The Millennium is not the end of it. There will still be time after the Millennium. The Millennium is a space of time; but, not the New Earth. No, indeed. Notice, in that, we'll get to it after a bit.

L-125   See, the earth, redeemed, goes back to its original Owner again. It took... He took it from Satan. He pulled, taking the earth away from Satan, just like He took you away from Satan, like He took the little woman at the well away from Satan. There stood the priest, thought he was with God, and he had nothing. See?

L-126   I'd like to draw that for you just a moment. Now, we want to get this real clear, so now watch close now on this teaching. [Brother Branham draws illustrations on the blackboard, for the next few paragraphs--Ed.]

L-127 Now, this here, here is God. God, which is the Eternal, without... There is no one but Him. But, in God, He had attributes. Now, this here represents the Word, the Word of God, which was made flesh and dwelt among us in the person of Jesus.

L-128 Now this here, fellow here, we're going to make him like this. Now, this is called the woman at the well. This is the priest, Pharisee. And where you see this, open blackboard, means grace and salvation.

L-129   Now, "In the beginning was the Word. And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." The three stages. It was a attribute first, was in God, that He thought of Himself as being human; and that transmitted Him down to be Jesus; and now, if you'll ever be There, you was with Him then. For, there's only one form of Eternal Life, that's God; and you had to be a part of God at the beginning, not what you just chose down here. He chose you. "All the Father has given Me will come."

L-130   Now look at this priest here. We find his bottom part, here, his back life, back behind him, his predestination back here, is sinful.
Here is hell, down here.

L-131 Now, this little part in here, that looks like the blackboard, that represents his purity. He was a priest. He was an honorable man. That represented this. He was, also, had to be a good man, or he couldn't be a priest. But you see how he got it, was intellectual learning.

L-132   Now, this little woman, her first life, up here, she was a prostitute, she was all marred up. But way down in her, here, was just a little bit of understanding. "I know when the Messiah cometh..." See? See, that was there.

L-133 Notice, when Jesus came and manifested the Word, because the Word discerned the thoughts that was in the heart; as Hebrews 4 says It will, 4:12, that He would. "The Word was a discerner of the thoughts of heart," and He came as the Son of man, the Prophet. What happened? This priest, with only intellectual learning, said, "It's a devil," because that's what his denomination called it. What did it do? He had no representation, so it blacked him out.

L-134   But this little woman had nothing to present; she was as filthy and dirty as she could be. But, notice, way down in her, she's got representation, see. And, then, she was looking for this to be made flesh.
And when He said, "Go get your husband and come here."
She said, "Sir, I have none."

L-135 Said, "You've said the truth, 'cause you got five, and the one you have now is not yours. You've had five. That makes six you had."

L-136 She said, "Sir!" (Not, "You're," not, "Beelzebub.") "I perceive that You are a Prophet. Now, we know the Messiah, which is called Christ, will come. And when He does, He'll do this."
He said, "I am He."
