<TITLE>05. Par 16-18</TITLE>L-16 Joseph, when he died, years later... Jacob was taken back, buried with Abraham. Joseph, when he died, he said, "Don't bury my bones down here." Why? Said, "Take my bones when you go out, and bury them up in the promised land." Why? They knew that at the resurrection, the firstfruits of the resurrection, that Jesus was coming. And when He come and they did for Him, what they said... And on Easter morning when He arose up (Matthew 27), the Bible said that many of the bodies of the saints that slept in the dust of the earth come out of the graves at the resurrection and entered into glory with Him. Who was it? Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. See? He--they were spiritual, and they had a discernment that they knowed that resurrection was not going to take place down in Egypt. It was going to take place in the promised land.
And brethren, tonight, I know from leaving the Baptist church and so forth, I got a lot of criticism and so forth, but I seen the spiritual meaning of the coming of the Lord, for those that are in Christ will God bring with Him at the resurrection. You can have all your fantastics you want to and all your big denominations, but bury me in Christ; for them that are in Christ, God will bring with Him at the resurrection. Between the lines, you see it?

L-17 Then, finally there came the time of the Exodus. The "Exodus" means "the calling out" or "the separation." It come a time where God had to separate His people; they were in bondage, a beautiful type of today. I think the very ch--word "church" means "the called out." And there's a Exodus going on in the world today. Do you believe it? God, calling out a people for His Name's sake out of the Gentiles. The days of the Jews is soon at hand; the Gentile day's over then. See? When the Gospel turns to the Jew, the Gentile dispensation's finished. Oh, I just know that it's bound to be soon, every sign pointing to it.

L-18 Notice the Exodus, the calling out. So God, when He got ready to do this, there was nothing in the world that man could do or put a hand on. God did it Himself. So no matter how much we try to say, "This organization will do it. This denomination will do it." God will do it. That's the only One that can do it. It'll be the sovereign grace of God that'll come down and unite the churches together, the called out, and we'll have an Exodus, a going out.
Watch how God did it: very strange. They brought a man and woman, a righteous man of God. They brought forth a little boy, and they named him Moses. And when he become the age of forty, he refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, esteeming the treasures of Christ greater riches than that of Egypt. He was Pharaoh's son and had his foot on the throne. But if Pharaoh could've only examined the Word of God, he certainly would've not done what he did.
And I'm sure, tonight, sinner friend, if you would examine the Word of God, you'd be careful what you said and done. How that Pharaoh thought, "Surely, I'm all secure."
