<TITLE>21. Par 185-192</TITLE>L-185 Now, you notice, then when he come, he said... He seen little Benjamin. And how, you know, how he done there and understood. How that his father, his mother had give birth to this child, and then had died: little Benjamin. And he seen his brothers, and they didn't know who he was. They thought he was a great prince, and they were scared. And then when he sent back, and he said, "Who are you?"
And they said, "We are the sons of one man, which is Jacob, which is old, you know, Israel, and which was the blessed of the Lord, and so forth." And then he heard that his dear old daddy was still alive. Listen what he said here. And he made hisself known to them when he closed up the doors. His heart, look at the love of God there still calling. And there those Jews standing there, poor boys, they're starving.
Their father was starving, said, "Go down and get a little more corn, or we'll starve to death."
And he kept Benjamin down there for a token. And you know how it was, how he stood before him. And then he looked and he seen Benjamin; he couldn't refrain any longer. He made every man go from him, get away. And poor Joseph stood there, and he said, "I am Joseph, your brother."

L-189 And his brothers had just told him, said, "We have one brother which is not, that was killed by beasts," and he was talking right to his brother. That was his brother Joseph who was standing there.
And he--he made them all leave, then he revealed himself; he said, "I'm Joseph, your brother." And they were scared, the patriarchs. They was afraid. He said, "Don't be afraid." And he begin to scream so loud till even over in Pharaoh's palace they heard him screaming, heard his screams and cry. He run down and throwed his arms around little Benjamin, and hugged him, and kissed him, and fell on his neck, and begin crying, said, "You mean to say that my poor old daddy's still alive up in Canaan?" What a feeling. What the love of God that's shed abroad... "My daddy's still alive, and I'm giving him some corn." Said, "Oh." And he screamed to the top of his voice.
I wonder what that'll be, the day when our Lord Jesus breaks down through the eastern horizon, coming back to the earth again. Hallelujah.

L-192 There he screamed and wept, that great prince standing there, and the patriarchs. Said, he said, "Don't feel bad." Said, "God sent me." See the Holy Spirit, how love Divine will do? Said, "God sent me down here. Don't feel bad at yourself." Said, "God sent me down here to preserve life for these times."
And what did God send Him here for, but to preserve Life? What's the Holy Spirit here for tonight, but to preserve Life? He was rejected of the Jews, and sent over here to the Gentiles to preserve Life. Have you got It tonight, my friend?
Then he says, "Is my father still alive?" And he sent up there with wagons, and oxes, and so forth.
And poor, old, blind Israel come out, the old prophet coming out like that. And he heard that Joseph was alive. He wept, and he said, "Oh, bless God. I'll see my boy once more, feel him."
When he brought him down there, he met him. His old blind... feeble fingers moving out like that, and caught ahold of Joseph's face, and they knelt upon something there, and begin to weep and cry, father and son, hugging one another. Oh, my.
