<TITLE>04. Par 12-16</TITLE>L-12 God commissioning Moses here. Most of you are acquainted with the story, how that God led the children of Israel from down in Egypt up into the promised land. How that through a famine they were taken down in Egypt in the early days. God met Abraham, give him the promise and the covenant, and said his seed would sojourn in a strange land, being strangers for four hundred years, and then with a mighty hand would He bring them out. What a marvelous thought. And He said then that He'd bring them into the land that He had give Abraham and to his seed for a promise, for an inheritance forever.

L-13 And then, we know how that the patriarchs sold Joseph, which was a perfect type of Christ. How that he being loved of the father, hated of the brothers, just a typical... Well, it was Christ in Joseph. And they hated him without a cause, because he was spiritual. He was borned a seer. And he seen visions, dreamed dreams, and interpret them. He were more spiritual than the rest of his brothers. And they hated him without a cause.
They ought to have loved him more because the first, that God was with him. You just do favor for those that God is with, and watch how you prosper. And God is always with His Son Christ Jesus. You know that. So just do Him favor and see how you prosper.

L-14 So, instead of that, they hated him, was jealous of him, a very beautiful type of today, the spiritual church hated of the half-brother be--for no reason at all. Where they ought to be in love that we're having a great revival. Everyone ought to be loving God for that. But instead, without a cause...
And you notice, he gave him a coat of many colors. Now, there's only seven perfect colors. And those perfect colors are seven colors that are in the rainbow. And perhaps, was the rainbow, a type of Christ.
Which after the resurrection, John saw Him setting, to look upon as jasper, sardius stone, that's Benjamin and Reuben, first and last, He which was, which is, and shall come. The Root and Offspring of David, the Morning Star, Rose of Sharon, Lily of the valley, Alpha, Omega. There He sets with a rainbow over His head: a covenant.
A "rainbow" means "covenant." God gave the rainbow sign to Noah as a covenant. And He made a covenant with Jesus Christ to the world. That "whosoever believeth on Him shall not perish but have Everlasting Life."

L-15 Now, Joseph had a coat of many colors, perhaps a rainbow. Then was hated of his brethren. Was supposingly to be killed and throwed into a ditch, by his own, his brothers, as Jesus was killed by His own, throwed into a ditch. But was taken up, Joseph was, and was set at the right hand of Pharaoh, the greatest commercial and military country of the world. And no man could come to Pharaoh except by Joseph.
And Jesus was taken up out of the ditch of the grave and set at the right hand of the Majesty on high, and "No man cometh to the Father except by the Son." No man can come except by the Son.
Watch in his temptation, when he was in prison. His beard's growed out. And there was a butler and a baker. And they had a dream and Joseph interpret the dream. And one of them was lost and one was saved.

L-16 Jesus, when He was packed to the cross in His prison house of death, one thief was lost and the other one was saved. Perfect type, how that He gave His body as a witness or a sign.
He said, "Now, someday God's going to surely visit you," when he died. And he left his bones in an old casket.
I was supposed to have laid my hand on that casket, recently, in a museum, that they brought Joseph's bones that laid in Egypt, that made out of lead about that thick, beat out lead. And the famous Stone of Scone looked to me like a piece of Bedford stone to me, it's just a little thing setting under an old antique chair.
And anyhow, on this going down into Egypt... And Joseph, when he died he left a memorial, his bones, letting them know that someday they were going out: before those bones perished, that they were going out.
