<TITLE>13. Par 113-119</TITLE>L-113 Israel could be calm, no building up steam for them, 'cause they knowed that the death angel couldn't strike them. They were under the blood. It was God's provided way.
Now, notice. Say, "Can I be assured of that?" Now, Christians, here we are. "Can I be assured of that?" I spoke on it last Sunday night.
Now, Israel was a promised, covenant people: God's people. They had been promised a land that was flowing, with milk and honey. So they... They'd never seen that land; not a one of them have ever been there; but they had a promise of it. See, they'd never been over there; they didn't know nothing about the land. But they were promised that land, and they come out of their slavery by the hand of God through His prophet, and was sojourning, professing that they were pilgrims and strangers, and was going to a land that they'd never seen, or none of them had ever seen it. Think of it. So they come close to the borderline. And there was a great warrior among them named Joshua. "Joshua" takes a--means "Jehovah Saviour." And Joshua went over the Jordan into the promised land and come back with the evidence that it was a good land. They brought a bunch of grapes that taken two men to pack. It was just exactly what God said it was. It was flowing with milk and honey. That should've made every one of them rejoice. Why? Joshua brought back the evidence of a land that nobody knowed nothing about that God had promised to give them. See? 'Cause they were--had a promise to a land, was on the road to it.

L-116 Now, one day the human race was in a trap, and there come Someone to the earth by the Name of Jesus Christ. "Jesus" means "Jehovah Saviour." And He went down to the Jordan of death, went over the Jordan in death, and rose up on Easter morning with the evidence that a man can live after he dies. Hallelujah. Death is not the end; Jesus proved it, that a man can live after he's died.
He stood before them, and He said... Before He left He said, "In My Father's house is many mansions. If it wasn't so, I would've told you. And I'll go and prepare a place. I'll go over and fix up a place, and return back, and receive you unto Myself, that where I am there ye may be also." And on Easter morning after He died till the moon and stars and sun was ashamed of themselves, He died till the Roman soldier pierced His heart with a--with a spear and water and blood had separated... He was the deadest of the dead. He went to the grave like any man did. His soul went to hell, as the Bible said. But on Easter morning He came back from death, hell, and the grave, and said, "I am He that was dead and I'm alive forevermore, and have the keys of death and hell. I'm a Man."
They said, "He's a spirit."
Said, "Give me a fish sandwich." And He eat fish and bread. He was a Man that died, and went to the land, and returned back with the evidence that a man can live after death. What's death got to do with us? Amen. Let off the pressure.

L-119 Now, not only that, but He give us the promise. What was it? He give us the earnest of our inheritance. He said, "Now, to prove this to every believer, now, you're walking down here in unbelief. You don't believe the Word. You're walking in sin in the things of the world. But he that believeth on Me has Eternal Life, a Life that can't die."
Notice. Now, when we receive His Spirit, we who are once dead in sin and trespasses, He gives us new birth, new life. What does He do? He... We die and are buried in Jesus. We raise in the Spirit from the worldly things unto the heavenly things. And tonight we are setting together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.
