<TITLE>12. Par -</TITLE>L-21-1 Job said, "Though the skin worms destroys my body, yet in my flesh I'll see God."
Regardless of how little we are, how low we are, how impure we are, how unholy we are, how sick we are, how afflicted we are, the law of God's Spirit by His Word, makes it obey Him, forces the issue, and says, "Give it back." Amen.
Oh, if we could just think of that for a minute. Forces it, regardless of conditions? No matter what the condition is, the law of God's Word forces the condition to cope with His Word. See? It's got to.
Now, if a flower is laying there, and it's dead; the seeds are rotten, gone; the pulp's gone out; that doesn't have one thing to do with it. It raises again, 'cause God set a law for it to rise again.

L-21-3 When Job laid in the ground... Perhaps when he seen Jesus coming was four thousand years before Jesus got here. You can imagine how a human body looked in four thousand years: probably not enough ashes left to go on the end of a spoon. But Job said, "Yet in my flesh I'll see God, Who I shall see for myself."
And the Bible tells us in Matthew 27, that after His death, and burial, and resurrection, that many of the saints that slept in the dust of the earth rose out of the dust. Why? It was that prophet, speaking with the Word of God; and the Word had been spoke, and the law of God by the Spirit raised them up. The Bible said they had come into the city and appeared to many. Not only did Jesus raise, but the saints raised with Him.

L-21-5 Why? Over in the Psalms it said, "Lift up, ye everlasting gates, and be ye lifted up. Let the Lord of glory come in." Why, when He conquered death, hell, grave, sickness, rose on the third day, He ascended on high, and led captivity captive. What was it? Those that were in captive that looked forward for the promise that we have now. Oh, brother. Never even had the Holy Ghost, but believed and give a good testimony; and by It they stopped the mouth of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword; women received their dead raised to life again: without the promise. Oh, but they looked forward, under a sheep sacrifice that could not divorce sin, that could only cover sin. But they believed that there was coming One. And by their faith, way beyond the shadow (Amen.) they claimed it. And steadfast they wandered in deserts, and in sheepskins, and goatskins, was afflicted, and destituted, and tormented. Oh, those people, looking forward to that resurrection, and through that died in faith with a testimony; and on that Easter morning (that law of God which had spoke, the Word, through Job and those other prophets) they raised from the dead. Oh, my.

L-22-1 There you are. Regardless of the conditions. Some people get so guilty minded that they don't want to face any judgment. Oh, many people... It ain't hard to die, anybody lose their mind, and something or other, and do something rashal. Some of them have their bodies burned, taken out on the sea, and throw the ashes to the four corners of the--the four winds of the sea. That don't stop the judgment; you come right on just the same. Yes, sir.
