<TITLE>08. Par 30-34</TITLE>L-30 On they came to a place they begin to murmur against God, and--and against Moses. And God had to have Moses to smite the rock. And we took what he smote it with, the judgment stick, which we realize that that was the judgment, God's judgment stick. It was the one brought fleas, and lice, and--and turned the waters into a... Or frogs come up out of the waters and so forth down in Egypt, because it was God's judgment upon an unbelieving people.
And notice. The only way that God could lead them people out was by an atonement. And the only way that God can lead us out today, is by an atonement. And the atonement's already made at Calvary.

L-31 Notice. They're going down in there, how perfect it was with the Scriptures. How Joseph, the younger son, rejected of his brethren: Christ, rejected of His brethren. He wore a coat of seven colors, Joseph. And the seven colors, of course, represented seven colors in the rainbow, which was a covenant.
And God always has His covenant people. And then, this one young Joseph was killed, supposingly, by his brethren, and his coat was to be returned to his father.
And I want you to see another thing, that he was throwed into a ditch, and was supposingly to be dead. But he was taken up from the ditch, and was taken into the greatest commercial city of the world, and was made a right hand man, that no man could enter into the gates or come into the courts, without first coming through Joseph: a perfect type of Christ.
They thought they had killed Him, and throwed Him into the grave. But God raised Him up. And today He sets at the right hand of His Majesty, and no man can come to God except he come through Christ. Is that right?

L-32 Notice in the butcher and the baker, one was refused and one rejected, like the two thieves at the cross: a perfect type. And then at the death of Joseph, he left the sign to the Egyptians, that his bones would be taken out when they went out. Many of the Egyptians passed them by, or the Israelites, rather, down in Egypt, and see those bones. They knew someday before those bones completely deteriorated, that they would move forward and they would move with them.
Christ, not as I believe in His bones, but He left an empty tomb, that we who are Christians today...
Someone said, "Brother Branham. The only thing that you got to know that you're a Christian is some Hebrew writing."
I said, "I got more than that to know that I'm a Christian." Sure have. You have too, if you've been borned again. Notice. But we have an empty tomb.

L-33 Mohammedan religion is the greatest there is in the world today. There's more Mohammedans than anything. But they keep a white horse setting at the grave of Mohammed, stayed there for two thousand years. A white horse is constantly been led there for Mohammed to resurrect and ride away.
We go down to Ganges River today, we'd find mothers there that they sacrifice their little children, throwing them to alligators, and let the alligators crunch the little dark fellows, and their blood spurt up over their mouth, sacrificing to the god of the Nile.
Now, somebody says, "Because I'm sincere, that's all that makes any difference." It takes more than sincerity. They're sincere too.

L-34 Over in India today, and under the Buddha worship, people like Brother Jateph, Gadyce Moservan, he said, "Brother Branham, I have seen..." Know... I guess all of you know Gadyce. He's internationally known everywhere, Methodist church. He said, "I've seen them stand to where fingernails had grow through their hands, would say, 'O great Buddha, if--if you'll give unto me rest for my soul, I'll never take my hand down.'" Leave it like that. Many of them who hasn't laid down for years, and they stand sleeping up side of the walls, praying.
The Chinese, they break their feet. They have four hundred and something kitchen gods alone, and something or another like that, heathen worship, crying for peace to their soul.
