BBBI - 2019.10.16 - PM - Guided by God, Governed by Providence (Gen. 46-47)

What's a car Bible and I invite you to join me in the Book of Genesis chapter number 46. I do apologize for having to stay behind a table here. But I'm glad that they can't take my Bible away. Amen. It's still come out of my heart, hopefully because I put enough in there not be able to share something with you tonight in the midst of all the complications of the Gods going to do something in our meeting here tonight in our time in this word because I'm just run into thing after thing, you know, one of those one of those days where it just seems like everything is working to try to keep this from happening, but you know what it is. I have my Bible open and you're joining me and Genesis 46 and we're going to spend some time in the scriptures. I want to draw your attention here to versus the first few verses for retail Traverse number 7, and I encourage you to read through the whole chapter. I will not go through the exercise pronunciation oratorically here tonight. I'm going to let you Bible names with every one of them is important and don't just breathe over the genealogies. You need to have those dots connected and it also tells us that our God is a very personal guy that he is interested in not just the human race in general but he is interested in everyone of us and we're all we're all important to God every Hammerhead. So most importantly is is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life in the genealogy cool role of heaven. So Genesis first number one notice the scriptures open with these words and Israel took his journey with all that he had and came to Beersheba in offered sacrifices his father Isaac Israel in the mission.

Jacob Jacob and he said here am I and he said I am God the god of my father fear not to go to Egypt for I will their make a great nation into Egypt and I will also surely bring the up against and Joseph shall put his hand upon thine eyes and Jacob from Beersheba. And they took their cattle and they're good, which they had gotten in the suns suns with him his daughters and his sons daughters and all his see brought he with him in the Egypt. Lord I pray that you would bless our time in your word may be profitable and give me Clarity of thought as I expound for the scriptures maybe learn to feed a price tonight and met before it's all said and done they receive him and his great purposes and calling an hour life the Lord they would be wise as serpents and harmless as doves conform us into the image of Christ and I'll thank you for what you do in Jesus name. I pray amen. What writer said that has angry all the time whenever he works?

God used to serve his own righteous purposes. I think that make me pretty upset too if I was the Devil Without You So God uses Wicked people as his tools question. Freedom to do great evil. We certainly have that power.

Then he uses his own freedom to create goodness out of that evil for that. I immediately thought of brother Gilmore's comments quoting Romans 8:28. So in the long run question comes back.

Yes. But in the short run it can be uncomfortable. But God does always win. As we look at the life of Jacob here. We're in another segment. This is what I think it was. Dr. Wolford. He called this the most important important chapter in the history of Israel and its momentum is a is getting ready to leave Canaan land. He's getting ready to head down to Egypt because Joseph has bidden him to bring all the family down to be nourished during this Grievous famine that has hit the land.

So many things I pondered and meditated over this chapter. I've got to be frank with you as well. You come to passages in the Bible and they kind of priests themselves. Will this one is a wonderful story, but I've connected Genesis 46 and 47 together with tonight's message because I think there's an overall overall application that we can draw from having those two chapters together. So well interview all the way up to chapter 47 my intent if the Lord allows this is to deal with chapter 48 in 47. We could really does summarize it this way and just kind of an outline

Makes a pit-stop in a Beer Sheva and he finds words that convey him there and just where he will fulfill the promises that he gave to Abraham to make them a mighty nation the numbers as the sand of the sea in the stars in the sky. And so this would be part of his that did the chapter unfold in the land of Goshen there in Egypt which would be in the land of rameses B in that fertile plain area where they can raise their cattle. And so we see the reunions between a father and a son that's a beautiful emotional moment to consider and we'll make some application of that abuse real even through the midst of the famine when the rest of Israel is selling everything. They have to be fed by the hands of Joseph and they're not having to sell themselves to do it. And so then chapter 47 and everyone's coming to him and he sells grant for pharaoh and tall and he buys of all that land for pharaoh and the chapter 47 concludes with Jakob words to Joseph to make promise that he Knott, Berry Jacob in Egypt, so that gives a superb you that there's a right time to go to Egypt. There is a right time to go to Egypt. Why do I say that because this we look here in the life of Jacob. It really can be divided. He spent her and the land of Canaan the land of Egypt her and his time there his time and came his time. And that's why I say this. Is it a transitionary place in the story of Jacob and I takes place down there for these aren't just geographical areas of the land with just a staff and he came came to her ran.

Esau remember that account he was running away from his brother but he's God's man who's fighting in his own strength anymore he's now walking by faith and I thought that was tremendous inside as I walked the land where our savior walked in and I stood in these places in and open that happened in the very geographical location I stood we came to Be'er Sheva and I spend some time looking at a well perhaps it and think about Abraham spending time at their shedded the southernmost part of it really this is known for the Red Sea it went down to a lot generally speaking from Dan to Beersheba understand in Hebrew and then comes back

Of the promised land and he says hold on a minute before I take a single step further. It's time to get alone with God. I'm not going to cross these borders without knowing for sure that it's the right time to go down to Egypt. There's a ripe perhaps in the back of this month in Genesis chapter 12 another man. His grandfather went down to Egypt and it was for that man to go down to Egypt and we see the trouble that came from that and then while he was there he was simply trying to take care of everything there. He picked up an Egyptian handmade whose name was Hagar. And as they are they left and came back. We know what happened between Hagar and Sarah and Ishmael was born. The Hagar through a surrogacy that they were trying to work out to try to help God along right in his promises that he had made them. Well that didn't work out so well and Ishmael and Hagar were expelled from Abraham's household and all the heartache that came from that because Ishmael was not the child of Promise the child of Promise would come through ice and Isaac miracle and Sarah and her old Abraham being a hundred years old with a century-old and dealing with the word deal with diapers. And sometimes it's a little a little much you know, but God's good. Amen. And so as we think about where Abraham was in the trouble that came to him down in Egypt. That was the wrong time to go to Egypt. He followed his wallet as brother schwanke reaches in a good mess and it brought. Whoa. The second illustration that I would use to back this up this idea that there's a right time to go down to Egypt in the wrong time would be is it would be Abraham's son Genesis chapter 26, I believe it is. I don't remember the verse right off the top of my head. There's a verse where I see cuz you getting ready to go down to Egypt and the Lord actually stopped him from going and come to not go down to Egypt was not time at that moment for God to fulfill his promises. There's a right time to go down to eat near up stops in Be'er Sheva. He's on the southernmost border of the promised land the only portion of land in Genesis 47 where Jacob is going to make Joseph Thomas that he'll be buried there with Abraham. That's the only part of the promised land that they technically own. It's not amazing and yet God promised Abraham as far as he could see from River to River from the Nile to the Euphrates that whole tract of land that even Joshua and the one day there's coming a kingdom the coming Kingdom a man and that Kingdom. I will be by our Lord Jesus Christ as Jacob gets ready to head down to Egypt to make sure as he stops on the border, so if the promised land he wants to hear from God and he comes to Be'er Sheva Beer Sheva is a special place. It's a special place for Jason Abraham Abraham U-verse number 19 Isaac lived in Be'er Sheva in chapter 26 verse 23 in the 32 and 33 it was from How to find a wife at Bear Sheva God had 17 chapter 26 verse 2324 and now it would appear to Jacob or Jacob's God first off that Jacob is the one drawing nigh to God. He makes the initial step toward God and worship and so embarrassed I see here is Jacob is is Consulting the Lord. He's spending time and worship and direction. God promised us in our warship in we make that first move to God we worship Him and we offered a hand we say Lord. We're coming all the while expecting to hear from him to almond liberally and upbraideth not in it shall be given him with the wind and tossed. Remember we talked about this part by the time he comes to Egypt.

Hopefully we'll make a little more sense to us tonight Jacobs desire to see Joseph is what moved him from Hebron. He heard word and I can't even imagine what those words did his heart when it was confirmed that Joseph was alive Joseph from the thought surely would have been killed by wild animals.

Joseph in his heart yearn to see Joseph and so he says we're heading to hell that was the initial move.

And so as she began to move from Hebrew. His heart grabbed him and said, hold on a minute. Let's double-check this with God. And so he stops a Beer Sheva. Niece is this is what I'm feeling I need to do. This is what it one more time before I die. That's what I want first and he stops in Be'er Sheva to make sure it's the right time to go down to Egypt and verses 1 through 4. We see Jacob worshipping God at vert Sheva Nancy Drew nigh to God God trunited him and with the revelation of and a renewal of promises promises. Given to Abraham God says, I'll surely be with you. He provides comfort.

And I promise that not only is it okay for Jacob to go and it's the right thing for Jacob to go but notice what he says here in verse number for maybe you want to underline the sprays for put Star by somewhere in your Bible. The war god Elohim tells Jacob and verse for I will go down with.

Lo I Am With You Always even unto the end of the world. Jesus told his disciples as he was getting ready to send them out with the Great Commission and hear Jacob gets confirmation that God's will at this juncture dance life is for him to go to leave. The land proms go down. God is going to be with him. Remember Noah was invited to come into the ark because God was already in there and God shut the door behind it. And so this is our Lord's presence in a very powerful way and what Surety what confirmation what courage would this lead to Jacob Endeavors to fulfill?

He's fulfilling the will of God, but he says hold on. I know what my heart says. My heart wants to see Joseph but I'm going to check it with you are the desires that God would have as well trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding at all that ways acknowledge Him and He Shall direct thy paths and if you roll your way onto him and cast your burden on the Lord trust in him. He's so this Burning Desire. Jacob has has now let him through place of worship before God and God has showed up with revelation of his word confirming his and also getting the promise of his presence. What a beautiful what a beautiful thing we see. I also began this and I see some similarities because something grabbed my attention when I read the verse number two, and God said, what are the next two words? Jacob Jacob And immediately I thought of other places in the Bible. I thought of another place where God one time said Abraham Abraham, you said here am I in the in the priesthood grown for the priesthood and God lifted up his voice and said Samuel and Eli thought so too much pizza the night before and something like that. No, two or three times a day.

In a similar occurrence, and there's a theme that runs through these when you have this double vocativ of the name Moses that was from the burning bush. Why persecutest thou me the Damascus Road? So what did shows me to Jacob concerning a direction for his will Saul Saul why persecutest thou me?

And that man went on after he was converted on the road to Damascus to turn the world upside down for Jesus Christ Jacobs on the threshold here of heading down into the world in Egypt to turn the whole world upside down as God Reveals His glory to bring them out by Mighty hand the whole reason through his shed blood Harding the way for us to find life. See this is how God gets blurry on himself.

There may be times like Jacob experienced. Where we might be tempted to follow her own desires and yearning that we have in her heart. But let us like Jacob here be absolutely careful to make sure that our desires are God's desires before we make any final moves and just have that piece and that confirmation that wherever we're going God's going to be with us and I speak from experience in that because I haven't heard the Audible Voice. Do you like the pic? I didn't hear that from Heaven know he's revealed everything. He would say to me audibly right here between Genesis and Revelation, but I knew in my heart I knew in my heart through still Small Voice to the movie of the Holy Spirit and God had called me to preach the gospel and I don't regret it for one moment. He has X and then more than I could ever dream even in these nine years, and I know that even Beyond me I'm praying for fruit that would remain that would carry onto generation. After generation just from a simple night where I found and said Lord. I'm getting a loan with you. I'm going to go. Only if you're going to go with me. And so as he arrives is now Jacob is walking by faith and not by sight. But how long did it take Jacob to get here? That's a grievous thing to think about how many decades of his life he spent in essence running running from God trying to walk in his own strength until finally in that wrestling match with God that night touched him and gave him an infirmity gave him a weakness and smoke him and now Jacob will be waiting upon the Lord and lean upon others all the rest of his days. That's what it took to get Jacob under God's Will and to stop trying to circumvent things with his own deception and with his own means and to manipulate circumstances need to turn it to Simply trust. God and Lord. Is this the right time is this the right way.

I remember what happened to my granddaddy when he went to Egypt to go down to Egypt for 5 Jacob as soon as he had confirmation from up and simply obeyed he had confirmation. He's going to go or God's calling him to go so by faith on the renewed promise of the Covenant Promises of God stuff and he follows God to Egypt with everything he has. re2 though having precious Promises of a blessed hook to a promised place a city whose Builder and maker is God. We're called is sojourn in a world as God's Church. And we're here on purpose by God, even though we're looking for that City and preach the gospel. Every Creature baptizing slime with you alway even unto the end of the world. I so let us with diligence pursue. Peace of God for the specific. He would have us to minister and serve to pass our time of sojourning if you will or whether it would be outside of our country Comfort Zone in another country altogether only God knows.

The may we be careful? However to guard our hearts to guard against going somewhere?

A burden will take you only wear a call can keep you and if you're not called whatever. Of time and won't be long before you're ready to pack up and go because the call never came you just went because your heart tub and you didn't stop and check it with God first to make sure that's where you needed to be. I've heard the stories as you have people that don't last because there was a tremendous burden they did a lot while they were there, but they kind of fizzled out and then they move on and what do they do there? I didn't really amount to much usually after they're gone. And so there's surely a wrong way to go down to Egypt there surely is but here we see through Jacob nevertheless. And we can confirm the right time. We can confirm the right way to go down to Egypt. So let's consider secondly on maintaining a right relationship to the world as Jacob pants down to Egypt notice. He doesn't go in and bunker down next to the Palace of pharaoh this in the land of Egypt. I see here again a Father's Love and a son's honor in chapter 46 picking up inverse number 28 and all the names are listed there. What you're looking at is a record of the heads of household and don't let anybody throw you off by saying there's you no contradictions or anything here because I can be president if you want to make an appointment with me later. So we don't have to do it. I can show you how the scriptures are.

Good reason why there would be different numbers in different places what I mean by that is when you defied Souls that came out in the passage in Genesis g70. So is there a contradiction in your Bible? Absolutely not the only two that and I searched the scriptures and I find out there's a logical explanation as to why Steven would say 75-70. So there's not a contradiction. It's simply just a different set with the number. So I usually number counting passages where most people would say, there's contradictions when there's really not anyway. And so again, I don't want to take pills to do that I can for you if you want some sleep at night. I've got and how to understand it clearly.

Scriptures that say fallible and are incapable of error and what you're reading is completely reliable is the reunited I'm picking up here in a verse. Number 28 and he sent Judah. Before Hammond to Joseph. So remember Judah now has begun to shine. He has come to the Limelight after he laid his neck on the line Looks Like Jesus showed us a picture of the sacrifice that would come from his his progeny because the Messiah would come through this is spilling us up to chapter 49 when until Shiloh comes and he is also regained father's trust all those Decades of untrustworthiness. Now, we see some reparations happening in the family, right? Hope friend. I don't know what your family's been through, but I do know God's big enough to fix it. And here we see a father being able to trust his son again after Decades of not being able to trust him and now he's sleeping and says, I'm going to count on him and he has to go pay the way so that they can tell him he's coming and that he went and sent you before I'm ready his Chariot and went up to meet his real his father to him and fell on his neck and a good while and Israel setting to Joseph now, let me die since I've seen that face because valve or to get a lie. I see a Father's Love A Father's undying love and I see his sons wonderful honor to his father. So Jacob on side of Joseph he's overcome with emotion as I thought about this encounter, you know, I I just thought of a day that the New Testament talks about right now. We see through a glass Darkly but then face to face. We're going to meet our Joseph. We're going to be like him for we shall see him as he is every man that has this. Hope in him purifies himself, even as he is pure one day Faith will become size and we will behold the one who died for us the one who rose again for us and the one who invited us to come through his shed blood for salvation by faith and we'll see our savior and I think you know we can think about it here, but it's I think it's going to be an overwhelming moment when we finally get to see Jesus. I shall know him. I shall know him. Redeemed by his side. I shall stand I shall know him. I shall know him. blind hymn writer wrote see the print of the nails in his hand. So think to how overcome with joy we're going to be when we shall see him Archos has as he is. Play Never Union Joseph didn't hesitate to bring Jacob the presented to his team. I thought about this too. And I thought you know how wonderful it's going to be when Jesus has the privilege of Grey.

And here we have an Earthly King getting blessed by the patriarch Jacob.

And say roll better to you know after there's been some people that I've only told him whatever you want get away with it.

Absolutely. I'm joking. Okay, that's a joke. You'll make it through you'll get it when people have lived a long life. They're worthy of just for the sake of having lived as long as they have and made it that long by God's grace. And so we render respect unto them. We ought to hang up people listen up. This is a generational thing that needs to be addressed. Amen. And I'm not slide now either of you know, I still feel 20 so I can I can relate with you on that. But this was ingrained in me you respect your elders and I grew up with that being ingrained and maybe you would chop it up to Southern Hospitality. I don't really care because it's right a minute. It's the right thing to do to respect your elders and honor them. And so when we do that God takes no and here's a pharaoh probably a younger man in his rulership at this time. And he was Joseph and Jacob is a hundred and twenty years hundred thirty years by now. If we read the passage will tell us exactly how it is. I think it was $130 now. And so Pharaoh comes and Jacobs the one who gives blessings bayro the ruler of the world. That's humbling to me to think about and Joseph didn't lie about bringing. His father hadn't seen in decades now to bring him in the rest of this family murders from the back side of a of the bed area of Israel bring him into the courts of pharaoh the most pop King of the day with all of the Splinter and all of the gold and so here comes with his with his Shepherd clothing on and his staff a throw-in splinter and precious bonds waving you get the idea and here comes by Joseph before I want you to meet my bad Here's my father. He's the one that you've heard so much about. He's the one that I've long the seat for so long they row. And Jacob tell Sparrow. All these years. I've lived a hundred thirty years has been full of trouble. It's short hundred thirty years to an Egyptian. If you lived a hundred and twenty years that was living to The Ripe old age and living past 120 East 130.

Compared to my daddy and compared to my granddaddy.

Short life. He says it's better Vapor not think about the trouble Jacob it had through that short to him hundred and thirty years all the trouble as the sparks fly up every count we read in the wife of Jacob is another sorrow that we can unfold in his life. Whether it's the deception that surrounds every counter depth of the boss with the grief every time you turn around Jacob is it again?

This is but now I can depart in peace because my eyes have seen the hope. Saint Joseph and so upon every Union Joseph didn't hesitate to bring Jacob the present to his King how to will one day bring us a spotless adorned in all Beauty and Splendor through his shed blood. I swear he's making a Sanctified and spotless. So there can be an entrance into heaven one day. I'm not worthy of this and when I get before my Lord, I'm going to feel a lot like Joseph's my life was short full of evil. I don't know why you never see anything good in me only through Jesus Christ. Will I have any Merit as righteousness to stand before my father above? It will look down and see no sin on me anymore, but he'll see transformed by the renewing of my savior and the power of the holy spirit. So bringing many sons to Glory before his father one day that Trump is going to sound weird to be changed in the moment.

It's going to happen just like that. The rest of chapter 47 verses 1 through 12. We notice how it's real now is smooth and they are in the world but noticed they're not of the world because they didn't move in next door to Pharaoh's Palace. They had a special place prepared for them. right outside Egypt in Goshen And this is a tremendous application for us because our savior prayed for us. Did he not in John 17 in the world? And that would be Sanctified through his truth is word is truth. And he prayed that we would be in the world but not of the world and soul sojourners here. We find our time in Goshen where the Green Pastures are in our Good Shepherd 8 weeks to because the world can't understand us. It won't be long. Just a few hundred years.

And the persecutions going to come against God's people and we can expect that too. Because if the world hated him, he told us to expect that they would hate us just for serving and living for him Shepherd. And so Egypt is there but the world are not of the world. They have all the provisions in Goshen in the way. They're being nurtured and cared for by their Joseph by his good hand the Viceroy to Pharaoh second-in-command. They have everything they have to sell anything to get it. They just asked and they received they seek and they find they knock and it's opened unto them. What a powerful place at Joseph is in in so Israel settled down and eat you they were careful to remain just outside the outskirts in Goshen. In the land of Ramses King Tut coming to mind right by our Good Shepherd into good pasturage while we're in the world. We have to be careful though, though. We be hated by the world.

They were just short of the promised land that we aim for be content to find our blessed medium in Goshen trusting our Lord as we seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. It would be considered to call tonight. There's a right time to go to Egypt. There's also a right way to be in relationship to Egypt. To be in the world, but not of the world. I want to close with this. You've been good to listen to me this far just a few more moments if I could press your time for that, but we have to close with this because you must see this importance. The responsibility that we have as God's people to those who are doomed to destruction. As chapter 47 close as I see the administration of Joseph and how he's handing bread those that are seeking. Immediately you might be thinking of an application that came naturally to me. He has the bread that will give them life and through chapter 47. The word bread is even and all of you for the sustenance. They need to physically live and exist in other day and Joseph D head shaved and now people are out of money. And the bread is gone that they bought before and I don't know what to do now a little more careful than that. He was extremely careful and how he watch over what God had given him foresight to know was coming. She let's not forget without without Revelation to Pharaoh in Joseph interpretation of that whole world that he was able to store up in the seven years of plenty to meet the need for the seven years of one. So when the world runs out of its resources and you find out the world doesn't have everything to offer and we know where to look we know where the bread is to be found. Jesus Christ and I found out when I wasted all my substance on riotous living and I came to myself but I was worthy of his judgment. Said I'll go and return and just be a servant even if I can just be a better than I'm eating now and God with open arms. So you're not serving your son and he put a ring on me and he gave me a row and he established my going and he blessed me and I don't deserve a bit of it. and so is the souls that are there in Egypt are struggling and God's people are being cared for by the hand of Joseph. They run out of money now and they come to Joseph and say what are we going to do in Joseph as well sell your land and I'll take your land and I'll give you bread and you can still stay on the land you can work and you see what Joseph did all that land for Pharaoh. He bought it all back for him. And He restored it. No, I'm a small government kind of guy. Let that sink in I still haven't figured out all the Joseph doing here. But he he basically a masted Empire for payroll. He did this for the benefit of another. And he enriched whero because of his wisdom. Well now he's taking advantage of the poor people and we need to distribute, you know, all that and everything is in common when you be socialistic in our approach, this isn't the place to debate politics with you. Okay. I'm not a socialist. I don't believe socialistic. I promises will Avail in the end. There is a Utopia give us but that will not be reached until Christ comes. So I'm not going to debate politics or policies here with tonight or Marxism vs. Communism vs. Capitalism and all that. We just need to set her eyes on the lamb and look at with Joseph. Did he remember that the whole world would have been a mess if he hadn't done anything at all, and now he's here and they have lent so they sell their land and they become slaves to Faro. Hey, I do want somebody conomic lessons from that. The borrower is servant to the lender and the bigger your government gets the more control and power they have over you and there will come a day where Egypt will get very jealous of God's people of Israel and they will work on them harder wages in harder working until the time comes when they run

And I don't know if maybe our riches in America have made us forget the toils of those that that Pioneers here in America and worked and sweat it and they cried to God if we cried to God, I don't think we have because we haven't felt this hurt yet. We have not sell our freedoms being eroded hard enough yet for us to cry by God for deliverance. Like Israel's going to do. Well, I don't want to back rest too much here. We have a responsibility to the Dune as Joseph. Is there a representative he is serving in Egypt and he's Distributing bread to them as we are in the world not of the world. But are we just sojourning here in passing the time without giving out the bread? My challenge to use that we don't do that that we were to find Jesus Christ who is the most important part of their being there very soul. And so he provides the bread of life. to the Egyptians Where was this bread sourced in the hands of Joseph? He had it to distribute and give it was only one source from which Jesus said of himself. I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the father. But by me, there's only one way to find the true bread is life today. There's only one source for eternal life. What is this bread cost? Will the Egyptians had sell everything they had just to get a little morsel of bread from Joseph. I'm here to tell you today that the bread of life is free for all who will take by faith the cost though. It came at a great cost it cost the father his only begotten son to make that bread of Life free for all who would come to him by faith and him that cometh to me. Jesus said I will in no wise cast out. So as we're here, we have a responsibility to provide the means to find the bread of life eternal need for their soul. We remember though as chapter 47 closest we are on a journey and is Jacob Joseph we say for this world is not my home. I'm just passing through my treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue and one.

This is where I'm going to be buried. I'm not going to have my treasures here. I'm not going to lay up things here. I don't need the the Pharaohs. I don't need the Berkeley silver that's going to get burned up in the end with a fervent heat. I'm looking to lay up treasure in heaven where Steve's can't steal it where moth and rust can't corrupt it. You see the principal here is check 47 closes Jacob though. He could have been buried with all the Splendor of Egypt. He never forgot the promise of God. Do you know he's never seen it again and his days but one day his face and we're going back because Scott promised to take my bones with you. Take my bones away. Joseph to is going to have him carry his phone's out of Egypt one day why because of the Covenant Promises of God. There's a land that is fairer than day. That's what the song says. Right? Is that our hope is our home built in a Homeland Homeland to go to the world in the whole world called by God to go down into Egypt his faith moves him to have Joseph promised. He would not be Buried buried in the land of his faith. We to one day we have this treasure in Earthen vessels going to leave this Earthly Tabernacle in the dust is going to return unto the ash. We're going to go by faith to forever be with our Saviour absent from the body present with the Lord until the glorification happens as we say when we do our baptismal Services buried in the likeness of his Death Race to walk in newness of life. So I hope that this is helped you understand just from these verses and these two chapters in The Bible. There's a right time. There's a right way to go down to Egypt. As we're in the world, there's a right relationship we have with the world to be in the world, but not of the world. Don't let it corrupt you. But remember your responsibility to the doomed while you're here to share the bread of life in the whole time looking for that blessed. Hope in the promise that one day we're coming out and this isn't all there is and that there's a Life Beyond Beauty and hope in splendor.
