Episode 87: The Family Altar Audio Devotional – Day 53

Episode Summary:

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And Joseph took an oath of the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old: and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt. (Genesis 50:24-26)

37 Notice, when Job died, here’s just a little drop, and then we will go right on with redemption. Notice, when Job died, before he died, specifying in the place that he was buried… That had something to do with it. And along came Abraham. And when Sarah died, his sweetheart and wife, when she died, it was strange, but Abraham goes up into the land to where Job was buried, and buried Sarah in the same land where Job was buried. Now watch, they were prophets. Now, this wasn’t written in the Scripture now.

And notice, when Abraham died, he slept with Sarah, the same place. Abraham begot Isaac, and when Isaac died, he was buried with Abraham. And when Isaac begot Jacob, and Jacob died down in Egypt. But before he died, he made his prophet son, Joseph, come down and put his hand on his hip where the Angel had touched him, and changed his walk, and swore by God that he’d not bury him down in Egypt. Wonder why? Wonder why?

38 Now, it wasn’t written, but they were spiritual man. They read between the lines. And he said, “Take me back up into Canaan. Bury me up there with my father Abraham, with Isaac.”

And when… Watch Joseph. When he died, he said, “Don’t you bury my bones down here. But someday God’s going to visit you, so you take my bones before you and bury them with my father,” the same place where Job was buried, same place where Sarah and Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and Rebekah, and Leah, and all was buried up in the promised land. I wonder why? God…

Here it is, God hadn’t promised a resurrection down there in Egypt, but they knew that the resurrection was going to be in the promised land. And on the day when Jesus finally come, the Redeemer, they did to Him like they said they would. He died, buried, and on the third day, He rose. And those that were buried up there with Him, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and the saints, come out of the grave. They knowed the resurrection was going to take place in Palestine. Because it was spiritual revealed to them.

That’s the reason, tonight, I say you can have all your world you want, all your fancy, fandangles, all your educations, and things you want to, but bury me in Jesus Christ: For those that are in Christ, God will bring with Him in the first resurrection. So it… Just let the Holy Spirit reveal that to you. Redeemed by His Blood, those that are in Christ, will God bring with Him at His coming.

What difference does it make what the world wants to call you? Fanatic, or whatever it may be, just stay in Christ.
