It’s Gonna Rain Annotated
He began to warn the people. He said: “After a while, it’s gonna rain after a while; for forty days and for forty nights”. And the people didn’t believe him. And they begin to laugh at him. And they begin to mock him. And they begin to say: “It ain’t gonna rain!”

They didn’t believe it was gonna rain. But glory to God. Hallelujah! Bless God’s wonderful name this evening. I said, this evening. After a while, they didn’t believe it was gonna rain. But sure enough, it began to rain. Hallelujah! They began to knock upon the door. But it was too late. Hoo! The Bible tell me, they knocked upon the door until the skin came off their hands. Whoo! My Lord! My Lord! I say, until the skin came off their hand. They cried. I can just hear their cry now. I can hear ’em say: “Oh Noah! Would you just open the door?” But Noah couldn’t open the door; it had been sealed by the hand of God!
Glory to God
God
Had been sealed
Couldn’t open the door
Oh Noah!
They cried
Just open the door
Couldn’t open the door
But sure enough
Hallelujah!
