<TITLE>07. Par 23-26</TITLE>L-23 And Elihu says to him, in like so many words like this, "You see the flower never sinned. Corn and stuff, it reproduces for life here on earth, but there's coming a just One, Who will stand in the breach between man and God, and put His hand on a sinful man, and a holy God, and bridge the way. Then the man shall rise again."
Then when Job noticed that, he raised up. Oh, I love this. Raised up, shook himself... The lightnings begin to flash, the thunders roar, a prophet got in the right line with God, something takes place. Stood up, said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. In the last days He will stand upon the earth, though the skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God, whom I shall see for myself, mine eyes shall behold; and not another."

L-24 Notice, prophesying. Then let me drop a little between the line here for you just a moment. Them we'll close. I won't have time to get to the text. Notice, all right. When Job died, he specified his burial place, and was buried in Palestine. The oldest Book in the Bible is Job.
Along came Abraham after the antediluvian destruction, and so forth, he come down out of Babylon, out of tower of Babel, down into Shinar. And there Abraham was give the promise. And then when Sarah died, Abraham's wife and sweetheart, he bought a port--parcel of ground... They wouldn't let him give it to him 'cause he wanted it to be sure.

L-25 All right, thinkers of the Scripture, get your mind working right now. Watch this. He bought a piece of ground in the same place where Job was buried, to bury his dead out of his sight. And Sarah was buried there. Abraham, when he died, he slept in the same tomb with Sarah. Abraham begot Isaac. When Isaac died, Isaac slept with Abraham. Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob died down in Egypt. But when he died, said, "Don't bury me down here. Take me back into Palestine and bury me." And he made Joseph put his hand on his hip, where he'd limped all of his life, or the biggest part of his life...

L-26 Look at him there at the river, a big, strong, healthy man, on this side running from God, on the other side a limping prince. Oh, my. How that he said, "Joseph, my son, put your hand on my hip, limping prince, and swear by God that you'll not bury me down here." I wonder why? Took him up in Palestine and buried him.
Joseph, when he died, said, "Don't you bury me down here." Wonder why? Said, "Take my bones and bury them up in--up in the promised land, up in Palestine." Why? It's not written in the Word; it's between the lines. They were prophets. They knowed that, what was going to take place.
Along came Jesus, the One that Job saw, his Redeemer. And they wanted to be buried the same way Job was, same place he was, same way he was. So then when Jesus came on Easter morning, when He rose from the tomb, the... Said, "Many of the saints that slept in the dust of the earth, rose and come out of the grave and entered into the city and appeared to many": Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job. What was it? Look brother. They knowed there was no resurrection down in Egypt, the resurrection was in the promised land.
