<TITLE>02. Par 13-20</TITLE>L-13 All right, we find then, taking the church back just for a little preview, found out that God promised Abraham that He would save him, give him a unconditional promise, unconditional covenant. He would save him and his Seed; not all of his seed, but his promised seed Isaac. Abraham had eleven sons, you know, but only one of them was the promise, through Isaac. That's the reason Paul said in--in Romans the 9th chapter that all that are Israel are not Israel, but through Isaac shall the Seed be called. Now, then God, through Isaac, representing Christ...
We notice, Christ was in Abraham; Christ was in Isaac; Christ was in Jacob; Christ was in Joseph; Christ was in Moses.

L-15 Christ is in all the Old Testament, and all the Old Testament. All the... If we had time... Here seven years ago this last week... This last few months we've taken the Book of Exodus from one side to the other, typing everything. Even the waters of separation; the red heifer, it couldn't be a brown one; it had to be a red one, not a spot on it. It had to be burned and then made into the waters of separation, and it's to sprinkle the people after they had sinned and was gone outside the camp. How the hyssop and cedar wood, and all mixed in together, how the wood in the tabernacle, how the brazen altar, the laver, the shewbread, everything pointed to Christ. And in Him we are complete in Jesus Christ.

L-16 Now, how wonderful our lesson is tonight, how God brought Israel as a type, foreshadowing what would be.
Now, we find out then, they, after four hundred years... God had promised Abraham that his seed would sojourn in a strange land for four hundred years, but would come out under the mighty hand. God's promises always comes true. God always makes His Word right. The old prophetic wheels and cogs of God grind slowly but surely, comes right up to the place.

L-18 That's the reason tonight, studying this exodus of the church, I believe that we're in the exodus again. I believe, Moses being a perfect type of the church organization which failed God, and Joshua the new--new leader, represents the church in their failings of God, and Joshua took Israel across to the promised land. Perfect, if we'll watch it, how that God moved back there in the days. Everything went fine; they thought they were settled down for good; but when the time of the promise drew nigh, there arose up a Pharaoh who didn't know Joseph. Things begin to move different, and it was a time for a deliverance. The people begin to groan and cry, and then God came down to deliver them. How perfect.

L-19 And then He sent a man; a child was born, a peculiar child, and he was raised a peculiar life, but God had His hand upon him. Moses, how he was hid in the bulrush, born in a time of persecution, just like Christ, borned a proper child just like Christ. And he was borned in this world to be a deliverer just like Christ. And, oh, how he, his work, how he was a law-giver, went up in the mountains and stayed forty days, come back out with the law. And he, his besetting sin was temper; he broke the commandment. Went back up, showing that that priesthood must die, pass away.

L-20 Just as Jesus went into the wilderness forty days, and when He came out, Jesus, Satan met Him just in His weak spot, like he did Moses. Jesus' weak spot was hunger. He said, "If Thou be the Son of God, command these stones to be turned to bread."
Jesus said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone.'" He knew he hadn't met Moses then. He knowed he had met Something besides Moses, for Jesus knew the Word.
And there's anything that the church ought to know today is God's Word, how to set It together and apply It to your heart.
