Question

What does resurrection mean, as distinct from reincarnation?

Answer

And the—the principle of Christianity is based upon resurrection, not reincarnation, resurrection. If this belongs right here, this slip, and I drop that down.

Question

Why did Joseph not want his bones buried in Egypt?

Answer

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.

Question

What does the land of Canaan represent?

Now, when He brought the children of Israel out of the wilderness, out into the wilderness, He led them by a Pillar of Fire. Is that right? The Bible said He did, and He went before them.

Question

Why did the prophets of old want to be buried in Palestine?

Now watch this. All of the prophets of old, not having any Scripture to go by, as we have, any Divine promise of God, only through the leadership of the Holy Spirit. “Men of old, as they was moved by the Holy Spirit, wrote the Word of God.” Each one of them, when they died, they specified they wante...

Question

What is rapturing faith?

Answer

And I believe we’re on the borderland tonight. I was wondering about all my meetings and things, how I had to cancel them out.

Question

What is holding back the coming of the Lord Jesus for His Church?

Answer

I believe this: that in the great realms of the Church, the only thing that’s holding off the coming of our Lord Jesus for His Church, and setting up of His Kingdom, is the differences between the full Gospel people. That’s right. As long as one say, “I belong to this; I belong to that. I received t...

Will there ever be an end to war among the kingdoms of this world?

Answer

When Jesus was taken up on the high mountain by Satan, he let Him look down through the stream of time and showed Him all the world and the kingdoms thereof, and said, “They’re mine.” Is that right? “And I’ll give them to You if You’ll fall down and worship me.” Is that right?

Question

How is Divine healing related to the resurrection of the body?

Answer

And if there is no Divine healing now, there is no resurrection of the body. Divine healing is the earnest of our redeemed body. Did you ever think of that?
