<TITLE>05. Par 17-19</TITLE>L-17 And now, in the 22nd chapter of Genesis and the 7th and the 8th verse, and then the 14th verse, we wish to read just a portion of the Scripture for a text tonight. And then go back where we left off last night to dig up some of the context of this Book of Genesis. Which, my, we could stay in it here for--for two years, and still go right back over it again and get more than we did the first time. That's how God's Word's written. All right, the reading now.
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?
And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for the burnt offering: so they both... went together.
Now, the 14th verse:
And Abraham called the name of the place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
And for a text, I want to take "Jehovah-jireh."

L-18 Now, the Lord has seven compound redemptive names. We--we know that. And Jehovah-jireh is the one "The Lord will provide for Himself a sacrifice." Then He is still Jehovah-jireh. That's how Mr. Bosworth won the debate that night with the Baptist minister at Houston, Texas, when the Angel of the Lord's picture was taken, when on that very one thing.
Said, "Is He still Jehovah-jireh?"
He said, "Yes."
He said, "Then them compound names is inseparable. He has to be the same, 'cause He... As I said the other night His attitude at the first, if He was Jehovah-jireh then and not Jehovah-jireh now, He was wrong being Jehovah-jireh in the first place. And if He's Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord's provided sacrifice," then all those compound names was met in Christ. And then if He were Jehovah-jireh, "the Lord's provided sacrifice," He's Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that healeth thee." He has to be, or He isn't the Healer, He isn't the Saviour. 'Cause you could... You just can't take part of Him. It's got to be all, 'cause them compound redemptive names is inseparable. He's the same. If He was Jehovah-jireh back there, and Jehovah-rapha, the Healer back there, and isn't Jehovah-rapha today, then He was wrong when He--when He introduced Himself as Jehovah-rapha, if He isn't still Jehovah-rapha today: Jehovah-rapha, "the Lord that healeth thee."

L-19 If He isn't the same today, then He was wrong in His meeting with them back there as a Healer. If He met with them as the Healer, in otherwise, and don't meet today as the Healer, He was wrong with them people back there to begin with. See? So He can't be, 'cause He's infallible. He's God. So He--He can't be. He has to be the same.
And the Bible said He's the same. And He is the same. And we find--found last night in the blessed old Bible, which is the truth, that God when He makes a promise, He will stay. If you'll stay with that promise, it'll produce just exactly what it said it will, 'cause God's Word has to produce what It says, or It isn't His Word. So it's just... Isn't that wonderful, that--that we have this blessed assurance? Do you have that tonight? Say, "Amen," if you do. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Good. The blessed assurance...
