<TITLE>03. Par 9-11</TITLE>L-9 Last evening... We have been speaking the last two evenings on Genesis, the seed chapter, where God planted the seed, and Satan planted the seed: his. And they both been growing together ever since. It'll soon be harvest time when the harvest will be reaped. Oh, if we just had about two or three weeks of good revival time here to go into some of these great things...
I'm a typologist and I--I like to type the--the shadows, because, if I know what the shadow looks like, I have some conception of what the reality looks like. So without an education, I had to go to that--to shadows, the Old Testament to see it foreshadow the New. And everything in the Old Testament speaks of Calvary: everything. You're complete in Christ. And you're not saved because that you pack a crucifix; you're not saved because you go to church; you're not saved because you know your catechism or your textbook; you're not even saved because you know the Bible. You are saved because you know the Person Christ Jesus. To know Him is life. Not even to know His Word is life, but to know Him, the Person, is life. There's only one way to know Him; that's to be born again of the Spirit of God.

L-10 Now, we were studying last two evenings on Abraham, the great patriarch. And tonight, we're going over into the Exodus just for a short time. We left Abraham upon the mount where he had offered up the ram instead of Isaac. And he called the place Jehovah-jireh. God told Abraham that his seed would sojourn in a strange land and would be in slavery, bondage, for four hundred years; but then He would bring them out with a mighty hand.
And we find that Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob, Joseph. And Joseph was betrayed of his brethren: perfect, beautiful type of the Lord Jesus. Was taking down--remember, he was loved by his father, hated by his brethren. And the only reason they hated him, because he was spiritual; he saw visions and could interpret dreams. And his brethren, they were good fundamental people, but they just couldn't see the supernatural side. And they hated him without a cause. Perfect type of Christ when He came, He was a--they hated Him, the Jews, His brethren, because He was spiritual and had a spiritual understanding, and could foretell, or tell forth, or know the secrets of their heart, and could tell them what happened to them, what their troubles was. And the Jews hated Him for that cause. But He was of God.

L-11 Then Joseph was throwed into a ditch, and supposingly to have been killed, and was taken up from the ditch, and went into the dungeon in Egypt, and from there to the Pharaoh's right hand. As Christ was sold for thirty pieces of silver, Joseph was sold, almost thirty pieces of silver. Christ was throwed into the ditch, the grave, and was taken up, and sets at the right hand of God the Father. And every one--no one, rather, could come to Pharaoh without first coming through by Joseph. No man can come to God except by Christ the Son of God.
And there was a proclamation made that--that Joseph could bind Pharaoh's servants at his own pleasure. And another thing, that when Joseph went forth in the chariot, callers went before him, saying, "Bow the knee, everybody, for Joseph is appearing." And when Jesus comes, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess. Friend, you're going to pray sometime; you're going to confess Jesus sometime, either as your Saviour now and meet Him in peace, or as your Judge, at that day to meet Him when the wrath of God will be your destination.
