Then along come Joseph. He said, “Now, wait.” They put his bones in a coffin. I had my hand on an old lead coffin here, not long ago, they he was supposed to had his bone in. He said, “When you go out of here, bury my bones up there. Don’t bury me down here.” I wonder why? It isn’t written in the Bible, but they were prophets: they could read between the lines. They knew that that firstfruits of the resurrection wasn’t coming in Egypt; it was coming in Palestine. And when Jesus came on earth and they done to Him what they said they would do, and when He died and rose on the third day, Matthew 27 said, “Many of the bodies of the saints that slept in the dust of the earth, rose and come out of the grave and entered into the city”: Abraham, Isaac, Jacob…Therefore, have anything you wish to, but bury me in Christ, “For those that are in Christ will God bring with Him at His coming.” Hide away from the world. What a beautiful picture. There it’s between the lines. What the Bible says and what you see in between the lines goes right on with the rest of the Word, but it just fills up the gaps when you wonder why they was doing it.
