<TITLE>07. Par 21-24</TITLE>L-21 How Joseph was a perfect type of Christ. How Moses was a type of Christ. Moses the law giver, the priest... How that Joseph was the prince of prosperity. Everything he did prospered. When he was here on the earth, put him in the dungeon, everything prospered, put him in Pharaoh's place, everything prospered. Wherever he went, he was the prince of prosperity.
And when He comes again in His glory, the desert shall blossom as a rose, and we'll have no more deserts; and everything will prosper in the great millennium when the prince of prosperity arrives. How wonderful.
Notice how that Joseph was loved of his father, hated of his brethren, sold for almost thirty pieces of silver, throwed into a pit to be dead, taken up, and set at the right hand of the greatest commercial city in the world. No man could come to Pharaoh only through Joseph.
Jesus sold for thirty pieces of silver by His brethren and was taken up, setting at the right hand of God, and no man can come to the Father except by the Son.

L-22 And when Joseph went forth, there was a proclamation signed, brothers went before saying, "Bow the knee; Joseph is coming." Oh, every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess the Lord Jesus Christ. Whether you do it now or your works go on before you, whatever it is. Someday, you've got to bow the knee to the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
Notice it, how beautiful. How that in Moses, the law giver, how that he was both a priest and a law giver. And how he led the people. That was God in Joseph; that was God in Moses.
Look at David when he was dethroned and rejected in his city, and he climbed out up the Mount of Olives, and rejected by his own son. And his people had turned him down. And as he went up the hill, he went up weeping, looking back over Jerusalem, weeping. What was it? It was the Spirit of Christ in him.
When the Son of David came, some eight hundred years later, he set on the same hill, rejected of His own, and wept over Jerusalem and said, "Jerusalem, Jerusalem, how oft would I have have hovered you as a hen covers her chicks, and you would not."
All the Old Testament just a foreshadow of the New Testament, the things to come.

L-23 Someone was speaking... I was in Africa not long ago, and they have a very funny... It's a...?... thing in America even on baptism. They baptize three different times. One group of them baptizes them three times forward. The other one baptize three times backwards. And one they baptize one for the Father, one for the Son, and one for the Holy Ghost.
And when they do it, they simply bring their creed into a pagan creed. There's no such thing. See? And then when they... Then, that upsets the Jew. He says, "Which one of them is your God. Is God the Father your God, or is God the Son, or is God the Holy Ghost?" Anyone that knows God, and knows His Bible, know that those three are One. Not three gods, one God, manifested in three persons. In otherwise so that the one maybe who doesn't understand too well, would know. It's three offices of the selfsame God. God the Father is in a form of Light. No man could touch Him. He's come right down, condescending and come into the Son. It was God the Son, the same God: "My Father's in Me; it's Him that doeth the works.

L-24 God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. "I came from God," said Christ, "and I go back to God." He did. It's God all along only three offices, the Fatherhood, Sonship, the Holy Ghost dispensation. It's all the selfsame God.
Jesus said, "At that day, you'll know that I in the Father, the Father in Me, and I in you and you in Me." It's God in us coming virgin to a virgin body, virgin born to make a way for the shedding of the Blood to reconcile many brethren back to Himself. God represented in human flesh...
