<TITLE>03. Par 7-9</TITLE>L-7 Now, we're taught in the Bible, that they took from the body handkerchiefs and aprons from Saint Paul. Now, Father, we realize that we're not Saint Paul, but Thou art still the same Lord Jesus to meet the conditions of the people.
One time, Israel was all cornered off by the Red Sea and the mountains and deserts. Pharaoh's army was pushing them. And the Bible, some writer said, that God looked down through that Pillar of Fire with angry eyes. There laid the Red Sea right in the path. And the Red Sea got scared and opened up. And a road went through it, and Israel passed over on dry land, going to the promised land, 'cause God had promised it.
And, Father, when these handkerchiefs are placed upon the bodies of the sick and the afflicted, may God look back again, down with angry eyes, through the Blood of the Lord Jesus, at the sickness that's got these people bound, that these handkerchiefs represent, and may Satan get scared, move out. And may the victim of the sickness move to the promise of God's good health. Grant it, Father. For we send them in Jesus Christ's Name, Thy Son. Amen.
Now, you can get these, right immediately after the...

L-8 Now, I'm going to try to go just quickly as I can, getting on the way now. And I thought maybe tonight we would run a little series of--of this subject, speaking out of the Old Testament.
Last week we've spoke now the eight night on the New Testament, and tonight, I thought, we'd turn over in the Old Testament and speak awhile. I love the Old Testament. Don't you? I'm kind of a typologist. And I... The Old Testament is just--just full of nuggets buried down in there. And I like to go prospecting (Don't you?) and dig out those nuggets and polish them up. And you know what? You'll find every one of them pointing to Jesus Christ. Everything of the Old Testament was a shadow of the New Testament. And what God was to Israel then, through the law, He is to us today, through the Lord Jesus Christ. And what a beautiful, beautiful picture.
I remember taking one Book, in my, when I used to pastor the tabernacle at my home town, and I was a year and six months in one Book, Job: one year and six months. And I know I was about five weeks with Job setting on that ash heap. And the congregation was very nice to bear with me that long. But a lady's patience run out. She wrote me a letter and said, "Brother Branham, when you ever going to get Job off the ash heap?" And so she said, "We're enjoying it, but, my, you've had him there so long." But it was right... was the climax, just the whole Book to me, that's the climax when he... Elihu was talking to him, and then the Spirit of God came on him; the thunders roared, and the lightning flashed. Job stood up and said, "I know my Redeemer liveth. And I... There, and I... at the last days, He will stand on the earth. And though the skins worms destroys this body, yet, in my flesh, I will see God." What a beautiful thing. And the climax of it was--was, there wasn't a sinner left in the church. The Lord Jesus saved them everyone.

L-9 Now, we're going to start tonight in the Book of Genesis. And I--I love this Book also. And we want to start off on the prophet Abraham, and speak awhile. And now, in Genesis 12 we'll read just a portion of the Word, and then, we're going to take Abraham for the next couple nights, the Lord willing. And I'll watch my time so I won't take much time. And then bring him over to the climax, of where he sacrificed, or went to sacrifice his own son. And was called Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord will provide for Himself a sacrifice."
