<TITLE>12. Par 46-48</TITLE>L-46 Then Job seen what the lamb meant. He shook himself, stood up, being a prophet, the Spirit come on him, and he said, "I know my Redeemer liveth." Oh, there you are. Through eyes of faith, four thousands years ahead, he said, "I see what you mean, that just One back there, Who was promised in Eden. I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He will stand on the earth: though the skin worms take me back, like it did that flower, yet in my flesh shall I see God." Amen. Why? "I've come on the basis of redemption. I've come offering the shed blood, that represents His Blood. This is the type; this is the lamb."
But way back yonder, the Holy Spirit had revealed to him, before the world ever started, that God selected His blameless, spotless Lamb to take away the sin of the world. And in His preknowledge of it, seen Him slain before the foundation of the world was ever laid. Job got a vision of that. Don't make any difference what you say now, he believed it. And when he did, the lightnings flashed, the thunders roared. What is it? The man of God getting back into the spirit, there's got to be a little anointing somewhere. That's right. He got back into the harmony with God. He said, "My, oh, there it is."

L-47 And notice, God restored all back to him again, restored his health back to him. Why? You Christians here tonight, that's sick. You may be sick; that may be all right. God may be trying you for something. But remember, look to the way of redemption. Christ is your Redeemer from sickness. Just keep holding to His unchanging hand.
Look what He did night before last. Look what He did the night before that. Look what He did last night. What's He going to do tonight? God only knows. It's all left up--upon you, how you approach it. If you come saying, "I'll try and see if it'll help me a little bit." You're wrong. You've got to come first, sanely, soundly, in God's provided way of approach to Him. That's through the shed Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that It is redemption. God made a way of redemption, not your thoughts, what you heart says, not what your mind says.

L-48 Notice. Oh, this really sounds good to me. When Job got in the Spirit, and the lightnings begin to flash, and God restored to him... If he'd had five thousand sheep, God give him back ten thousand sheep. If he had twenty-thousand goats, He give him back forty-thousand goats. And if he had ten thousand camels, He give him back twenty-thousand camels. But now notice, here's a beautiful picture, and God restored these seven children back to Job. Never give him twice as many; He just give him the same amount, his seven sons and daughters, I think it was, restored his seven sons and daughters back to him. Never doubled them, never give him some more, but he restored them to him.
Did you ever think about where they was at? They was in glory, waiting for him. You see it? Because he was a father who believed in God, and offered the prayer and so forth, and upon the basis of the shed blood, and God had saved them. They'd been saved, because they had a faithful father, and was waiting for him across the shadows, over yonder. That's what we need. Waiting on the other side, 'cause they come through the shed blood, the--the walkway, the welcome mar--mat, back home again, come to God.
