<TITLE>14. Par 41-43</TITLE>L-41 Now, notice Job, no matter what went, what gone, what his church said, what anyone else said, he knowed he met God's requirements. He was standing on the blood, the burnt sacrifice. And notice, when the last hour of his temptation came, and they told him to curse God and die, and so forth, he said, "You speak like a foolish woman."
Then Elihu came down. "Eli, El" means "God's strong one." Break down his name and you got God in Christ representative. Come down, and he did not accuse Job of being a sinner. But Job wanted to know where God was that he could go and knock on His door and talk to Him. And where there would be One, a righteous One, Elihu told him, that could stand in the breach, put his hand on a sinful man and a holy God, and would bridge the way between a sinful man and a holy God, where the real true Blood offering would come someday.

L-42 Job being a prophet, when the Spirit come on him, he got in the Spirit; the thunders begin to roar; the lightning begin to flash; he stood on his feet and said, "I know my Redeemer liveth, and at the last days He will stand on this earth: and though the skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." He was taking this blood offering here until that real One came. He looked at this one and seen it was a shadow of one to come because God back in Eden had required this, and Job was staying on that sacrifice. Yes, sir. It was the only place that God promised to meet man was under the blood.
Israel, in the Old Testament, the only place that God ever met Israel was under the shed blood. They come from all over the nations, where the lamb was killed, but God only met under the shed blood. Under the blood of the Lamb is God's meeting place. That's where He meets His people. That's where He meets His church. That's where He meets your needs, is under the Blood. And outside of the Blood, there's no remission or no hearing, only through the Blood.

L-43 Now, and we take over in Numbers, the 19th chapter of Numbers, when they were in their journey, God told them to go and get a red heifer. Now, watch this just a moment, the symbol here. Now, "Go, get a red heifer, that had never a yoke has been on her." She's not yoked up, never been under a yoke. And she's red, has to be red all over. Now, red is a bad color to some. Red means stop at the stop light, and so forth. But red also is the sign of an atonement. Now, did you ever scientifically take red and look through red? If you take red and look through red, red's white, take red through red looks white. And so when God looks through... Our sins be as red as crimson, yet they shall be white as snow. When He looks through the Blood of His own Son and sees us, He cannot see us as red crimson sinners; He sees us white as snow, washed in the Blood of His own Son when we are under the Blood. Oh, how beautiful the Bible and Its illustrations. Red through red looks white. I know that that is a great sign to us, the sign of an atonement, the red heifer.
Now, she was to be killed in the evening time: type of Christ. Now, when Christ come he never yoked with the Pharisees or with the Sadducees; He only yoked with One, and that was the Father. Him and the Father were yoked together, They were One. And that's the way the Christian has to be. Whether you're a Methodist, Baptist, Pentecostal, whatever it is, you have to yoke first with Jesus Christ. "Take your yoke upon Me and learn of Me, for I'm meek and lowly." Therefore it brings you back into relationship and fellowship with God as long as you're yoked together with Christ.
