FAITH RIGHT DOWN TO YOUR BONES
Text: Hebrews 11:22
Background Verses: Genesis 50:24-26
As we look at The Belief All the Way to Your Bones, let us look at a few bones in a skeleton outline of this subject.
I. THE ROOT OF JOSEPH’S FAITH
A.) Joseph’s Faith Was Rooted in The Word of God.
Romans 10:17, Genesis 15:13-14
B.) Let’s Think of Fulfilled Prophecy
Let’s look at a few of the many bones of belief:
Fulfilled Prophecy Bone # 1
Going to Egypt again: Deuteronomy 28:64-68
Fulfilled Prophecy Bone # 2
Old City Babylon Isaiah 13:19-22
Fulfilled Prophecy Bone # 3
Delivering Jerusalem Isaiah 31:5
Two things Defend and Deliver!
Fulfilled Prophecy Bone # 4 Isaiah 45:1-2 Cyrus was named 100 years before he was born - Daniel chapters 5 and 6, Co-ruler Cyrus/Darius Daniel 6:28 (Babylon was surrounded by 60 miles of walls up to 300 feet high and 87 feet wide.)

Destruction of Jerusalem

C.) Where Else Can You Find Out Scientific Facts 1500 Years Before It Is Proven? Only In the Bible!
1. Job and Isaiah - books in the Bible that tell of an earth that hangs on nothing. Job 26:7, Isaiah 40:22
The earth has both day and night on it at the same time. Jesus speaking of His second coming: Luke 17:34-36
D.) Why All This? Because Faith Is Finding Out What God Is Going to Do and Be a part Of It. Proverbs 30:5, II Peter 1:19-21
E.) Joseph Knew That God’s Prophecy Is Not Diminished by Time, Circumstances, Or Appearances
II. THE REST OF JOSEPH’S FAITH
A.) Joseph Is Calm. He Is Not Worried at All
B.) Joseph Knew the Best Was Yet to Come
Romans 8:18, II Corinthians 4:17, Proverbs 20:17
III. THE RISE OF JOSEPH’S FAITH
Genesis 50:25
A.) Joseph Was Looking Forward to That Great Up-Taking Day Of his Bones from Egypt
Joseph is saying, I just don’t want to be caught dead in Egypt.
All those who trust Jesus whether dead or alive will one day rise.
I Corinthians 15:51-58, I Thessalonians 4:13-18
B.) Are You Looking Forward to That Great Day When Jesus Will Come Back? II Timothy 4: 6-8
