<TITLE>08. Par 29-32</TITLE>L-29 They were prophets. They've seen over the top of things. They knowed that Job said that at the last day the Redeemer would stand on the earth. They was looking for the coming Messiah.
And they knowed there was not going to any resurrection down in Egypt. The resurrection was going to be in Palestine. And on the 27th chapter of Saint Matthew, the Bible tells us when Jesus rose from the grave, that many of the saints that slept in the dust of the earth rose with Him, and come out of the grave and entered into the city and appeared to many of them: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job.
Why, I can just see... After His resurrection, seeing them appear in the land, and speaking, and knowing, and they went in. That's the reason I say today, friends, I'm called a holy-roller too. That's right. I'm glad. I count that a grand privilege.
I don't care what you call me; just bury me in Jesus Christ. For those that are in Christ, God will bring with Him in the resurrection. I don't look at it through seminary theology; I look at it through the Spirit of God to see the resurrection.
It's only those that are in Christ Jesus will God bring with Him. And how do we get in Christ Jesus? Not by joining the church, not by shaking hands, not by packing a letter, "But by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body (I Corinthians 12), then become members of that body." Amen. How wonderful.

L-30 Here He is. See Him. On years passed, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Job. And then when Moses, the children of Israel left Egypt, Moses took the body of Joseph and buried it. Think of the beaten backs of those poor old Hebrews passed by, oh, so tormented by the Egyptian persecutors. But every time they'd look over and that little old lead casket there and see the bones of Joseph, they'll say, "Some glorious day we're going out of here. For the prophet has promised us that those bones, before they are deteriorated, we'll go to Palestine and we'll go home." What a perfect type Joseph was there, of Jesus.

L-31 Here some time ago, Billy and I was going to his mother's grave. She died when he was just eighteen months old. We was putting a little flower on Easter morning on the grave. And the little fellow was crying. I put my arm around him; I said, "Don't cry, honey."
I said, "Down here, mother's not here. Neither is your little sister. But their body, their bones lays there. But across the sea there's an empty tomb. And in Him Who rose from the grave--the grave, knows no death nor no stings, they were in Him and some glorious day we're coming out of here, going home," perfect type.

L-32 Notice. Then when God's Word... After being down there for four hundred years, the time of the fulfilling of God's Word... He will keep His Word. And when the time of the promise drew nigh, there raised up a pharaoh who didn't know Joseph and begin to persecute the children of Israel.
God came down in a Pillar of Fire, called of man who was called, and run from Him. The Pillar of Fire, which was the Angel of the Covenant. We all know that. Any Bible reader knows that that was the Logos which was Christ. The Bible said, "Moses esteemed the riches of Christ greater than all the treasures of Egypt, and forsook Egypt when he had a foot on the throne." But he... "I'd rather suffer with the people of God than to have the pleasures of sin for a season."
