<TITLE>08. Par 76-87</TITLE>L-76 Now, was Job disappointed? Did Job get left out because he believed this? Never. Never. Did Job get fooled on what he saw, his revelation? Did the deep calling to the deep deceive Job? Many might've thought it in his day. But, oh, how did it come out at the end? And Job when he died, after being an old man, God blessed him in the life.
I tell you, you watch any persons you want to. Listen to this, you tabernacle folks and you visitors with us. Whatever life you live, that's whatever life you reap. You... Just as you sow, you reap. I was forty-six years old the other day. God has let me live long enough to see that you can't do wrong and get by. You've got to do the right thing, because Christ is risen from the dead, and His eyes is upon the church, and He watches it and guides it. Don't never go against the feelings of the Holy Spirit when He tells you to do something. No matter what the world says, you do what He says do. He will always vindicate the truth and keep the truth straightened out.

L-79 Now, when he... When this great prophet of the Lord, Job, when he died and was buried. Just a little exclamation now of what... I want to bring the little service to the close now, so we can hurry home and get back again for the great healing service. I just...
I'm not a fanatic. You know I'm not. Or if I am, I don't know it. But I just feel something way down in me, pushing and pressing. I just believe that we're facing something great this morning for the glory of God. I tell you, I wouldn't... Oh, my. What a... To know this great thing that Christ lives today. Where all the world around, everywhere, and every religion, everything there is, no matter what, the whole group would turn it down, still to me, He lives. He lives. Then we'll see if people got let down that believe that.

L-82 Job, when he died, he was buried in a--a field there. And his grave was kept. And then when along came the prophets of old, Abraham. The sweethearts of the Bible, Abraham and Sarah, when Sarah died, Abraham purchased a piece of ground right near where Job was buried and buried Sarah. He said, "I'm a joint heir with you over yonder." Oh, my. I like that, joint heir.
That's the way today. Some of them say, "Well, Brother Branham, you mean that you'd leave the Baptist church, you'd do this, that, or the other?" I'm a joint heir with these holy-rollers; I--I want to be here with them. I...
Where... As Ruth said of old, "Where you... Your people's my people. Your God's my God. Where you die, I'll die. Where you are buried, I'll be buried." I want to die to self so greatly until I'm a new person in Christ Jesus.
So they buried Job. And Abraham buried Sarah right near his place. Something in them, that instinct...

L-87 "Well," you say, "now, is there such a thing, Brother Branham? Now, you were going on about different religions. They read it out of a book too." That's right. They read it out of books.
But this is not reading out of a book. This is the Book being made manifest. This is the Word. The--the seed begin to grow, that's how I know. If you're just reading the letter, you'll say, "I hope so. I believe so." But when the seed is brought life, then you know so. Amen. Amen. Oh, it's a "know so."
Job said, "I know. I hoped it. I believed in it. I've made the sacrifices. I done all these things. I hope so." But when the vision come, and he saw it, he said, "I know it." Something's happened.
You can go to church. You can say all the apostles' creeds. And you can do all these other things that's religious. You can be baptized in any form you want to be baptized. You can do any of these things you want to. But until your soul has been awakened with the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, you... All the "hopes" is gone away then, and a "know so" has come down. I know. Job said, "I know that my Redeemer liveth."
