<TITLE>04. Par 31-38</TITLE>L-31 Now, then we find that we watching the shadows now. And we find then, God give us example, Christ in every one of the patriarchs, or down through the age. In Abraham God had election; in Isaac justification, calling.
God called Isaac even before he was born, gave him his name, everything, just like He did Jesus. Then I notice Isaac perfectly... We didn't have time to catch it, but did you notice Isaac, the only son of his father through promise packed the wood up the same hill, loaded, tied his hands, offered up as a sacrifice. And when he started to take his own son's life, Abraham, a little animal bleated, a little sheep, ram, hooked, caught in the wilderness by its horns... And the Holy Spirit crying from heaven, "Stay thy hand." And he went and got the lamb and offered in his stead; which was the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. There you are, beautiful picture.

L-33 Call, election, in--in Abraham. Justification, in Isaac. Grace, in Jacob. Anybody that ever read Jacob's life, knowed you have to believe in grace. It's grace in Jacob. And perfection in Joseph, nothing against him in the Bible; perfect man, perfect of Christ. Then we find out that the patriarchs all went down into Egypt, and there they lived. And their tribes sprung up, and they covered the--the lands, because God promised it to Abraham.

L-34 God's Word must every time be fulfilled. The cogs of God's prophecy grind slow, but sure. If you do wrong, you think you're getting by. But just remember, young man or woman, it's going to grind right up to your door one of these days. You'll wonder when and how, but it'll be there. You'll reap what you sow every time. God spoke it; it's got to be so. That, "Thy Word is settled in heaven forever." It's already said. They don't argue about It up there; it's already settled. We argue about It. But in glory It's settled. When God says anything, it's got to be. Well, isn't that wonderful?
Can't you just settle it in your heart tonight? "Lord Jesus, I believe You. That settles it. Hallelujah. I'm coming now; I want You to give me the baptism of the Spirit." And you'll get It right there. All right. Then forever God will seal you by the Holy Spirit until the day of your redemption. All right.

L-36 Then we notice in the next night's lesson, we find Joseph making a mentioning of his bones. And how perfect he was typed in Christ, even to his robe, everything.
Everything so far has perfectly been fulfilled in Christ. Notice. He was the final human Being, the final Sacrifice of Abraham's Seed. We found that (didn't we?) when he made the sacrifices on the hill, and the little Light went between it and confirmed the oath. And God stood there and made the oath on Calvary, He taken the oath and tore the Scripture, or the writing apart, took the one part, as we found that them days in the way of making a covenant...

L-38 As, we today shake hands. In India, or I believe it's China, they pitch a little salt on one another. And many times they--they give a child to one another, for a confirmation of an oath.
But in the oriental times they wrote it out on paper, and they killed a beast, and stood in between the dead pieces of beast, tore the piece of paper, together, hand it to each one. And when that was brought together, each piece of that paper must dovetail with the other.
