<TITLE>07. Par 26-28</TITLE>L-26 Didn't mean much more to Job then. He didn't need no more encouraging. He was a prophet. The Spirit of God come on the prophet. He rose from his ash heap, shook himself. The lightnings begin to flash; the thunders roar. The prophet got in the Spirit. He said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. And at the last day, He will stand upon the earth. Though the skin worms destroys this body, yet in my flesh I'll see God, whom I shall see for myself. Mine eyes shall behold and not another. For we brought nothing into this world and it's certain we take nothing out. The Lord gave, the Lord taken away. Blessed be the Name of the Lord." What are we discouraged about?
"I'll see Him at the last day," yet just as full of boils as he could be. "Yet in my flesh I'll see Him." Amen. Oh, my. Look at him.

L-27 Then Job... We'll have to hurry. Job when he died, he specified his burying place. Now, watch between the lines here now. He specified his burying place there in Palestine. Along come Abraham, and when Sarah died, his sweetheart... Heaven wouldn't hardly be heaven without Sarah and Abraham, would it? Them sweethearts of the Bible, see how loyal and loving...
Notice, when Sarah died, Abraham bought a parcel of ground near the grave where Job was buried. I wonder why? They said, "Oh, we'll give it to you."
He said, "Nope. I'm going to give you so many shekels of silver for it. And I'm going to give a witness here this day to let you know that I have bought this for my burying place." I wonder why? He was a prophet. He buried Sarah. And then when Abraham died, he was buried with Sarah. Is that right? And Abraham begot Isaac. When Isaac died, he was brought and buried with Abraham. Is that right? Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob died down in Egypt.

L-28 But before he died, being a prophet and knowing that his son was a prophet... And the Angel of the Lord touched his hip one night. On one side of the river he was a great strong, mighty, running man of the world. On the other side of the river he was a limping prince. I'd rather be a limping prince, wouldn't you? God touched his hip; the meat clave to the bone. And he limped all of his days as he walked.
He said, "Joseph, before I die, take your hand and lay it on this limping hip of mine. Swear by the God of our fathers, that you'll not bury my bones down here in Egypt." I wonder why? It's not written in the Scripture; that's between the lines. All right.
Joseph did. And he, when he died, he took him up and buried him in Palestine with his father, Isaac, and Abraham. When Joseph died, he said, "Don't bury my bones in Egypt." Wonder why? "But when you go out, bury my bones in Palestine, up there with my father's." Wonder why?
