<TITLE>12. Par 110-115</TITLE>L-110 Now, when they came to a place called Kadesh-barnea, that was one time the judgment seat of the world, Kadesh-barnea. And there they had a warrior among them by the name of Joshua. And the word "Joshua" in Hebrew means "Jehovah-Saviour." And Joshua, the great warrior... Now remember, they had never seen this land; they'd only heard about it. You see the type now? Only they had heard of the land. They had forsaken all to go to this land, because the Word of the Lord had been brought to them, and confirmed that they were on their road to this land. What a type of the Church on their road, knowing nothing about it, none of them had ever been over there. But Joshua, when they got close to the border at Kadesh, the judgment seat, where judgment struck Israel, from one who'd been over and come back. And Joshua crossed over the Jordan over into the promised land and brought back the evidence that it was just exactly what God said it was. And they could taste of the grapes that was grown in that blessful land.

L-111 Now, they'd been promised that they could have a home where they could be free; they could raise their children in decency and--and godly fear, have church, and so forth. How happy they were to cross over that land and get this home, from being slaves. Notice. But when they crossed over, lived their lives, it was a great thing. But finally the hillsides become plastered with tombstones. They got old and died, old and died, God's people.
Then one day there come another great Warrior, the greatest of all of them, Jehovah-Saviour, Jsus, He came, and He said there's Life beyond death: "For in My Father's house are many mansions. If it wasn't so, I would have told you. I'll go and prepare a place, and return again to receive you unto Myself." And this great Warrior came to His Kadesh-barnea, the judgment seat for all of us; Calvary. There He took upon Him the iniquity of us all. And He crossed the river Jordan that we call death. And on the third day He rose again like Joshua coming back across the river, bringing the evidence that a man that dies can live again.

L-113 And He said, "To make it assured to you, I want you to go up there to the city of Jerusalem and wait there. I'm going to give you an earnest of it. I'm going to give you the evidence, the down payment." And they went up to the city of Jerusalem and waited until Eternal Life came like a rushing mighty wind.
And today, after two thousand years we still have that evidence that we have passed from death unto Life. Our Joshua has brought back the evidence, and we're on our way to that promised land, tasting of the heavenly gifts of God that He has brought back to us. Notice it, how wonderful. Look where you once was. Drunkard...

L-115 I met a brother today; had a strange feeling to turn a certain street, and go a way. I forget what the man's name was. He may be here in the meeting. Yet, if he isn't, why, God was good to him. He's a Indian, part Indian. He's from Virginia. The Holy Spirit said to me, not telling it. I had let my wife out. Said, "Go down this way and turn this corner." I went down there. Oh, it happens all the time. "Wait right here." Then I waited there a few minutes. Said, "Turn and go back up this way." And when I did, I met him.
He said, "Brother Branham, I know you." Said, "I come to Jeffersonville one time, and to find you." And said I... "You was overseas." But he had been a drunk in his life. I took ahold of his hand, him not knowing what I was doing. And he had cirrhosis of the liver. While I was standing there holding his hand, the vibration left me. What? He was healed right there on the street corner today here in your city.
