Job 42, we started going through
the Gospel of John for our Bible study, and Edmund began to preach
from various passages, and now we're into the, my, my. Chapter 13, 14, 15, and 16, someone
said, the greatest sermon ever preached, followed by the greatest
prayer ever prayed, John 17. and then our Lord's crucifixion,
resurrection, ascension in the remainder chapters. So we will probably be preaching
throughout the rest of the Gospel of John while I seek leadership
as to what book to study through. I'm leaning towards something,
an epistle, but still not sure. I was reading for myself in the
book of Job and read through it and came to the end here.
And this really, really struck me. And perhaps you've never
seen this before. An Old Testament type you've
never seen before is always a great blessing. Job 42, verses 12 through
15. So the Lord blessed the latter
end of Job more than his beginning. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels,
1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 she-assets. He had also seven
sons and three daughters. You remember, he previously had
seven sons and three daughters. The Lord doubled it. And he called
the name of the first, Jemima, and the name of the second, Keziah,
and the name of the third, Kerenhepak. And in all the land were no women
found so fair as the daughters of Jonah. And their father gave
them inheritance among their brethren." We study the types
of the Old Testament pictures because they're a great blessing.
We do that. But the reason being, or the reasons are many. The
Old Testament proves God's Word. Such amazing prophecies. Amazing
prophecies. And when the Lord opens our eyes
to see them fulfilled in Christ, you have to exclaim, you have
to be amazed and say, this is the Word of God. No one could
make this up. All the men couldn't get together
and make up such a glorious, wonderful story, such a complex
story. Forty different men wrote over
a period of 1,500 years. They didn't consult one another,
a few of them. It all tells the same story.
This is proof that this is God's Word. It proves God's Christ.
The Old Testament proves The Jesus of Nazareth is the Christ,
beyond a shadow of a doubt. Proves it. The Old Testament
is the gospel. It's the only Bible that the
apostles preached from. There are not two Bibles, an
old and a new. It's one. It's one. And the Old
Testament is the Gospel of Christ as well as the New. It reaffirms
our faith. It confirms our faith when we
see these things, especially things we've never seen before.
We believe, but this strengthens our faith. It drives another
nail in this sure place, doesn't it, which is Christ. And we say,
yes, I knew that, but I never saw it. And now I know it more
than that. and shows the unity of the old and new. All right,
Job's daughters. Job's daughter. Job is the oldest
book, the first book in the Bible, really. He lived during Abraham's
day. It's acknowledged by all that
this was the oldest book in the Bible, even before Genesis. He lived during Abraham's day,
before Moses. So, since it's the oldest and
the first, who must it speak about? Christ is the first. He's the author, the finisher,
He's the first, He's the last of whom all the Scriptures testify. And He, Christ, is the one who
all the prominent men and even some women represent. All the
prominent men in Scripture represent the Lord Jesus Christ. Beginning
with Adam, the first man has to represent the Lord Jesus Christ. And Paul wrote that in Romans,
didn't he? The second Adam. The second Adam. And then from
Adam to Zerubbabel, from A to Z. Zerubbabel. Anybody know the
story of Zerubbabel? Haggai and Zechariah are all
about Zerubbabel. Both prophets. Call them minor
prophets. Oh my. Nothing minor about them
when they major on Christ. Adam to Zerubbabel speak of the
Lord Jesus Christ, of Him. Job, chapter 1, go back to chapter
1. Job is a wonderful type and picture
of the Lord Jesus Christ. We've seen it before, but see
it now in reference to His daughters. You see, His daughters came from
Him. His daughters are His offspring.
They are His seed. And we're going to see why they're
the fairest. Job 1, there was a man in the land of Job, in
us, whose name was Job. And that man was perfect and
upright, one that feared God and eschewed evil. And down in
verse 8, the Lord said to Satan, whom the Lord allowed or sent
to tempt him, He said, have you considered my servant Job that
there's none like him in the earth? Nobody like this man. He's perfect. He's upright. He fears God and his choose evil. Now, who can Job represent other
than the Lord Jesus Christ? The Lord Jesus cried, none so
perfect or truly complete as him. As Pilate said, in derision
but in great honor, behold the man. What a man, perfect. The only complete man or perfect
man, upright man to ever live was it. The Lord said of all
men and women, there's none good, no not one. There's none righteous,
no not one, until this man came. Upright. Perfect. Complete. And ye are complete in Him. None without sin. Verse 22 says,
Job, in all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly. Oh, in Christ is no sin. He stood one day and said, which
of you convinced me of sin? Someone. No one. Devils? Men, and certainly not the Father,
well pleased for His righteousness sake. In Him is no sin. And those that are in Him have
no sin. They are His perfect daughters.
Now do you know where I'm going with it? And born unto Job were
many sons and daughters. Born unto Job. And all the sons
and daughters of God are born of God. We must be born again. And we're born not of corruptible
seed. We were born of our father Adam,
but we must be born again. Born of God and all of God's
children. All of God's sons and daughters
came forth from the wounded side of the Lord Jesus Christ. When
He hung you ladies, when you had your children, what came
out when you gave birth other than a child? Blood and water. Didn't it? Are you with me? Blood and water. Well, when our
Lord was crucified, They stuck that sphere in his side and out
came blood and water. What's that? Justification and
sanctification. And you know what else came out
of his side? We did. He travailed, as it were, in
birth to give birth to his people. All the sons of God, through
the seed of God, betrothed to Christ as His bride, yet are
His sons. They all came out of His ribboned
side. 1 Corinthians 1.30. Everyone
in here knows it, don't you? Of God are you in Christ. Who of God is made unto wisdom,
righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. That according
as it is written. He that glorieth, let him glorieth
the Lord. This is why all this talk of
free will and man getting saved and doing this and doing that
to give himself life is a dishonor and a discredit to our Lord Jesus
Christ who prevailed in birth to give birth to his children.
It's an abomination to God because of the pain and the suffering.
I don't take any credit for my birth. I don't run around saying
I sure helped my mother out. My mother went through great
pain and my dad did everything to provide for me. I had nothing
to do with it. And all God's children know that.
It's not doctrine. This is life. This is those who
know who gave them life and who gets the glory for them. So Job,
born unto him were many sons and daughters. Verse 3 of chapter
Verse 3 says his substance chapter 1 his substance was great. He had He was the greatest of
all the men in the east. He had so much great substance What about our Lord in Psalm
24 says the earth is the Lord's and the Lord Jesus Christ. Because of what he did, the Lord
gave him the universe. The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof. The world and the inhabitants
thereof. All things are mine. Christ owns
everything. He's the heir of all things.
He's the owner of heaven and earth. Job's sons and daughters
were sinful, weren't they? Look at verse 4 and 5. His sons
and daughters, what were they doing? They were feasting. They
sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play. They were sorry
sons and daughters, weren't they? Sorry. In verse 5, it was so
when the days of their feasting were gone about, Job sent and
sanctified them. rose up early in the morning. It's just all such a picture
of pride. You see a reading between the lines? He offered burnt offerings
according to the number of them all. You're with me. Isn't that amazing? He said, it may be my sons have
sinned and cursed God, so this Job did continually never quit
interceding and praying for his sorry, sinful sons and daughters. People, you know why we're going
to get to heaven someday? Because Jesus Christ died for
us. Because Jesus Christ sanctified
us by his precious blood. Because Jesus Christ said, because
I live, you live also. Because he ever lives to make
intercession for us. Again, it has nothing to do with
any of us. Nothing. You say, what about
that? What about that? It's of God. It's all of God. No flesh God. If you repent,
it's the goodness of God. If you have faith, it was the
gift of God. If you persevere, it's the preservation
of Christ. It's perseverance. Great substance. Our Lord owns
it all. He died to this end, Romans 14
says, that he might be Lord of the dead and the living. He owns
it all. And dispenses with it as he will. He's the heir of
all things. And you and I get it for one reason. We're joint
heirs with Christ. We inherit it. We don't earn
it. He interceded. Now, no type is
perfect. My father used to say this, wisely
so, that no type or no picture, no illustration walks on four
legs. You can't walk on four legs and
you don't need, you can't make it, you can't force it. This is where men get in trouble.
I've heard men, I've done it myself, tried to make the type
perfect and fit and it doesn't. That's why there's so many. That's
why there's so many types. All right? Because not any one
type clearly or perfectly represents the Lord Jesus Christ. All the
sons and daughters of Job were sinful, sons and daughters, and
they died in their sin. The Lord killed them. He sent
a great wind and it destroyed the building they were in and
they died in their sin. All of them. Some people in here
with lost children have lost children. All of Job's children. Boy, that's sad, isn't it? If
you've got one saved child, be grateful. Job didn't have any. Think about it. Is God's grace sufficient? Yeah, it is. Yes it is. That's why the Lord
put him through everything he did to show that I can put all
of this on one person at the same time. And my love for them, my mercy
toward them, my grace toward them, my power, my spirit toward
them, and the grace in them I put in is so strong, it's so powerful,
they will endure, there's nothing that I sin that they're not able
to bear and I will with that trial make a way to escape it. Job proves that. There's nothing
you can go through that God's grace won't bring you through.
The fire, the water. Lose them all and you'll say
with Job, the Lord gave with tears and yet with full conviction,
the Lord gave, the Lord take away. Blessed be the name. Now, but God's children, they
all die, all right, but they die in Christ. They die in Christ. We live because Christ died.
And all of God's children die in the faith. He let us know
that clearly in Hebrews 11, didn't He? He spoke of all those people,
all His sons and daughters, and they were all sinners, weren't
they? He mentions all those sons and daughters, and they were
all sinners, from Abel to Zerubbabel. They were all sinners, worthy
of death. But God, rich in mercy, with
His great love, sent Christ to die for them, and He died for
them. And the end of Hebrews 11 says, these all died in faith. They died in faith. Because Christ
died for them. All right. Time went by and Job
was tried. Oh, he was tried, wasn't he?
In all points. And was not our Lord tried. Go
to chapter 42 now. Chapter 42. Go to the end. We're
going to go straight from the beginning to the end. You remember
Brother Darwin preached on the beginning and Brother Donnie
preached on the end. Donnie began with the end and
Darwin ended with the beginning. So we know the beginning or the
end from the beginning of it. It's all in Christ. It's all
about Christ. Time went by, Job was tried,
and our Lord Jesus Christ, whom Job represented, was tempted
in all points, like as we are, yet without sin. He's our substitute. He's our covenant head. He represented
his people perfectly, was tried in all points, as we are, without
sin. Without faith, it's impossible
to please God. Our Lord lived by faith. And
that faith was imputed to. His work, his obedience was imputed
to our account. So we're saved by the faith of
Jesus Christ. And Job kept the faith. And look
at verse 10. I've mentioned this in Wednesday's
message. Verse 10, the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he
prayed for his friends. And again, I urge you to listen
to that message again. It's very revealing. Give you great understanding.
Our Lord had to go into captivity to sin. Our Lord had to be made
sin. This is such a mystery that no
one can really explain it, but He did. He willingly, voluntarily,
in the garden began to be made sin. He gave Himself, offered
Himself unto God, and God let Satan have Him. We're hedged about. Remember
Job? Satan complained, you've hedged him about, and the Lord
said, Thank you. I remember our Lord said to Simon
Peter one day, Satan, I desire thee to sift you like wheat.
So what did the Lord do? He gave himself. He said, no,
I'm going to face him. And he's going to bruise my heel.
Satan did. He bruised Christ's heel. Christ crushed his head. And
our Lord, who was made sin for us, the Lord, after He did what
He did, God turned His captivity, as it were. Oh my, who was bruised
by Satan, now Satan is under His feet, isn't it? And He sits
at the right hand of the Majesty on high, where He prays for His
friends. He prays for his friends. Pray
for the world. We're going to see that. John
17. He prays for his friends. Who
did he call his friends? His disciples. He said, I call
you friends because I tell you my mind. You know me. I know
you. We know each other. This is a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother. Greater love hath no man than
he lay down his life for his friends. And he, my, my. And the Lord
gave him twice as much as he had before. Our Lord said to the woman at
the well, salvation of the Jews. He said to the Syrophoenician
woman, he said, I'm not come but for the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. She was a Gentile. Oh, but now. After he died, the
Lord has given him double. He has Jews and Gentiles. Now that takes up the whole world.
Out of every tribe, kindred, nation, tongue, people in the
world, Christ has a people. Like Job's daughters, sons and
daughters. What's that? Fourteen sons and six daughters? Oh, our Lord has fourteen trillion. Not more than that. No man can
number them, but He does. These friends of Job, though,
that he prayed for, were they good fellas? Were they nice fellas?
Were they good friends? They meant well, I'll give them
that. Don't be too hard on these fellas, really. They came and
they saw Job and they wept and they didn't say a thing for seven
days. You think about that. They were so brokenhearted, but
they didn't stick closer than a brother did. Not like Job. Nor do we. And they began to
turn on Job. And finally Job said, sorry friends,
all of you, sorry friends. Are we good friends to the Lord? Which one of us has not forsaken
Him? Which one of us? All the disciples left Him at
the cross, left Him in the garden and left Him at the cross, all
of them, but John. Sorry friends they were, but
oh, what is their salvation? That he's a friend that sticketh
closer than a brother. He said, I will not leave you. He said, all of you this day
are going to leave me, but here's your salvation. Do we understand
that? Yeah, we do. I will not leave
you, nor forsake you, though we believe not. Can you quote
the rest of it? Yet he abideth faithful. may deny him, he cannot deny
himself. And that means if you're in him,
he will not deny you. I never get tired of saying that
or hearing it. He prayed for his friends. After
it was all over, verse 12, the Lord blessed the end of Job.
His offspring multiplied greatly. Look at Isaiah 53 with me. Isaiah
53. And this is wonderful. This is just wonderful. Isaiah
53. This is the story, you know,
the chapter of our Lord being crucified, prophecy of it. All fulfilled perfectly. Isaiah 53, verse 10 and 11. It
pleased the Lord to bruise him, Christ. He put our Lord Jesus
Christ to grief. And when thou shalt make his
soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed. Job lived
to see his seed. He shall prolong his days. Job
lived, the scripture says he went on to live many more days.
You with me? And the pleasure of the Lord
shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of
his soul and be satisfied." The Lord didn't die for his people
to see them lost. No, no. He's going to see all
of them. In the end, the Lord is going to say, Behold, I and
the children that thou hast given me, none lost, all kept by the
power of God. Look at chapter 54. Don't stop
there. Right after that, it says, saying, O barren, now that it's
not bare, who's that? Christ. He had no wife. He had
no children. He died. Oh, he had a wife. And he had children all right.
He just didn't, they weren't, they were spiritual. Break into
singing, cry aloud, thou that did not travail with child, more
are the children of the desolate than the children of the married
wife, saith the Lord. Enlarge the place of your tent.
Let them stretch the curtains of thine habitation. Spare not
Lincoln that it's going to take a big place to keep all these
kids." Revelation 21 or 22, I believe
it is, talks about the size of the... the temple with, thou
shalt break forth, verse 3, on the right hand, on the left,
thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, make the desolate cities to be
inhabited. After Christ prevailed, oh my, did he ever have a lot
of children. And we're among them. Now right
now, go back to the text. Here's their names. They have
their names. There are three daughters mentioned.
Seldom are daughters mentioned in Scripture. You notice that? In the lineage, in the heritage
of various men like Abraham and so on and so forth. You read
through the Numbers and the Chronicles. Very seldom are females mentioned. Every now and then. But some
are, certain ones that play a prominent role. All things work together. You
understand that every single person born some way fulfills
God's purpose. But there are prominent ones
that are mentioned. In our Lord's lineage in Matthew
1, there are only three mentioned. Oh, do you love the story of
those three, huh? Bathsheba, Rahab the harlot,
Tamar, who played the harlot. Three sinful women. Because this
man, he was numbered with the transgression. He's a friend
of sinners. He came for sinners. His lineage,
his grandmothers, as it were, were all sinners. Well, these
three, and there are many mentioned, several mentioned in Scripture,
like Sarah, Rebecca. You remember the end of Mount
Moriah? Rachel. Ah, Naomi. Ruth. Anybody want to hear those
stories again? Rahab. Don't you love to hear
those stories? Mary. We're going to look at
Mary this morning. Here's three daughters of Job.
He called the name of the first, Jemima, the name of the second,
Keziah, and the name of the third, Kerenhepet. Three daughters. Now, the names of God's children
throughout the scriptures have meaning, always. The Hebrew names,
they're all Hebrews, some Greek. The Hebrew names all had deep
meaning. That's why they were named what
they were named. Adam, Red, Earth. They all had meaning. And these
do too. And this is why I urge you to
remember Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego's real names. Shadrach,
Meshach, and Abednego are their Chaldean names. They have no
meaning. Zero meaning. Made up by that heathen king. But now God gave them names.
Hananiah, Azariah and Mashael. All three of them, their names
have God in it. And so with these three daughters.
They have deep meaning. Jemima. Now go to Canticles chapter
4. That's the song of Solomon. Canticle
is song. All the old writers called it
Canticles. None of them called it the song. Canticles. Song
of Solomon. and prepared to be blessed. And
hold it, because we're going to look at it again in the next
hour. Song of Solomon, chapter 4. Jemima is first mentioned. She's the firstborn. Her name
means affectionate dove. Oh, the Song of Solomon is all
about the Beloved and His Beloved, Christ and His Bride, whom He
calls His Dove. Look at it. Song of Solomon,
Canticles chapter 4, verse 1. This is Christ speaking of His
people, His church, His daughters. Behold, thou art fair, my love,
my Jemima. Behold, thou art fair, thou hast
dove's eyes. Jemima. You think, oh, Joe, Stephen,
this is his firstborn daughter. What do we think about our daughters?
You and I have won. And, oh, was she lovely to you? Still is! Do you love her? Oh, still do, always will. This
is what our Lord says about His daughters. You're lovely. Altogether lovely. Now, we don't
think we are, do we? Do you think you're lovely, John?
I do. The Lord does. Do you think He's
lovely? Do you think you're lovely? He does. I do. Don't we? Dove's eyes. Who else had dove's eyes? Where'd
they get these eyes? Christ. They look like Him, you
see. They're all Jemimahs. You say,
I don't feel like a Jemimah. Don't you call unclean with the
Lord's God. Oh, Jacob never called himself Israel, did he? He never called
himself that. Did he? What's your name? Jacob. Always have been, always will
be. Oh, no. God said he's Israel. Jemima. Beautiful. My dove, my love.
It was the love of God that chose us, bought us, brought us, married
us to His Son. We love Him because He first
loved us. We may, like the Ephesians, leave
our first love, but not our Lord. You see, Jemima was His firstborn
child, His love, His dove. And like Gomer, He always loved her. And he said
of her, and he says of all these people, I have loved thee with
an everlasting love. Therefore with loving kindness
have I drawn thee. Again and again and again he
turns them. Keziah is the next one. Keziah. Are you still in Song
of Solomon? People, this set chills up my
spine. Her name means Kesha. It's a spice. Kesha. It means Kesha. Now, in Exodus
30 are given the principal spices in the anointing oil. Remember
that? In the next hour. Anointing oil. Spices. And hold this place. We're going to look at it again.
In Exodus 30, the principal spices to anoint the high priest and
his son had in them many costly, very costly spices to make up
this anointing oil. And one of them was cashew. It cost 500 shekels of silver. What was it? We don't even know
today. They don't even know what it
was because it's so mysterious and so costly. It's probably
extinct by now. People would make an isle out
of it. Cashier. It was a great cost. Now, people, we are redeemed
by a great cost. The precious blood of the Lord
Jesus Christ redeemed us and made us His daughter and anointed
us and perfumed us. This second daughter of Job was,
as it were, to Job, sweet-smelling perfume. You remember taking
your little children when they were born and just, smell of
them. Don't they smell good? They begin
pretty soon to smell pretty rotten, don't they? Yes, your sons, Nancy. My daughter, because there are,
but not Christ. That's not what he says about
them. They're all sweet-smelling to him. Because I smell like cashew. Why? Because they're in Christ. And Christ is in them. Dan, you
there? Jot this down, look at it later.
You'll rejoice. In Ezekiel 27, verse 19. Ezekiel 27, 19. There's a prophecy
of the tribe of Dan. You know what his principal commodity
was he dealt with? Cash. Cash. If anybody enjoys that,
Dan will. Karen Happock. Karen Happock
is the third one. We'll just call her Karen for
short. How's that? I like the name Karen. I have
a couple of sisters I love named Karen. What does this mean, Karen
Happock? Go with me to 1 Samuel 2. 1 Samuel
chapter 2. Keep Solomon, okay? I told Melanie
to take your time because I'm going to. But Karen Happock,
Karen, it means a horn of ivory filled with a cosmetic. It was a horn of an elephant,
they'd say, Gil, and all the writers say that they took the
ivory tusk of an elephant's hollow and they would fill it through,
fill it with this cosmetic or this paint that was principally
for the eyes, eye color. Okay? So this horn from an animal
of great strength brought forth beauty. You're with me. 1 Samuel chapter
2. Here's another fair and beautiful
daughter of the Lord named Hannah. That's why we named ours this. And 1 Samuel chapter 2, this
glorious daughter of the Son named Hannah, whose name means
gift of grace. 1 Samuel 2, she said in verse
1, Hannah prayed, My heart rejoiceth in the Lord. Mine horn is exalted
in the Lord. My mouth is enlarged over mine
enemies. Look at verse 10. He said, "...the
adversaries of the Lord shall be broken to pieces. Out of heaven
shall he thunder upon them. The Lord shall judge the ends
of the earth, shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the
horn of his nointed strength." that comes from Christ, who's
the horn, the altar, who had these horns on it we lay hold
of. His strength and beauty also came from that. Go back to Psalm
Solomon chapter 4. This is the cosmetic, the eye
color, as it were. In Psalm Solomon chapter 4, Canticles
chapter 4, I read this to you in verse 1, it says, you have
dove's eyes. In verse 9, here's what Christ
says about His people. It's on Solomon 4, 9. It says,
Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse, Thou hast
ravished my heart with one of Thine eyes. Just one. Just one. You know, the Lord,
this color for our eyes that ravishes our Lord is coloring
that He provides. It's called grace. And He has graced our eyes and
He made our eye to be single. Single. To look on Him. And all who look upon Him with
love and faith and look to Him, He says, you're beautiful. We're made beautiful through
whose comeliness? His comeliness. Karen, you're
beautiful to the Lord. You look like Christ through
His covering. His covering. And lastly, you
got to see this. Man, I had so many verses. Go
to Psalm 45. In our text, it says of them,
there was none so fair in all the land as the daughters of
Job. None so fair in all the land."
Well, look at Psalm 45 with that. It was said of the three Hebrew
children, the Hananiah, Azariah, and Mashiach, because they were
with Daniel, they were Daniel's friends. It was said there's
none fairer or fatter than them. Right? Esther, anybody want to
hear that story again? Esther, who stood before Hasheverus,
and stood before all the people. Esther, it says, there was none
so fair in all the land as Esther, who represents Christ, who represents
His people. None so fair. And all the king's
daughters. Psalm 45, look at verse 1. My heart is indicting a good
matter. I speak of things which I've made touching the king.
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. That's who we've been
speaking about in it, Christ the King. He's always fairer
than the children of men. Grace is poured into His lips.
God has blessed Him forever, hasn't He? Verse 7, He's loved
righteousness, hated wickedness. That's Job, isn't it? Well, that's
crap. Therefore thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of
gladness above thy phallus, all thy garments smell of myrrh and
aloes and cashew out of the ivory places whereof they have made
thee glad." Well, here are the king's daughters. The king's
daughters. Christ's people were among the
honorable women, thy honorable women. Upon thy right hand did
stand the Queen in gold of Ophir." That's not Mary. That's not the
Virgin Mary. It's Mary Parks. And other Marys, isn't it? Mary
Magdalene. Not Mary the... Well, she's there, too. There you are, Mary. Oh, the
king's daughters, they're on his right hand. Verse 10, O hearken,
O daughter, and consider, and climb thy ear, daughter of Adam. Forget your people. Forget your
father's house. Come to Christ. You need to be
his daughter. The king will greatly desire
thy beauty. He is thy Lord. Worship him.
Look at verse Well, let's go on now. It says, the daughter
of Tyre will be there. That's a sinful woman with a
gift. The rich among the people, not many, but some, will entreat
thy favor. The king's daughter is all glorious within. Within. You remember, Christ had no beauty,
no form, no comeliness that we should desire. Old daughter of
the Lord, do you consider yourself black? He says, no. You come
beautiful in the Lord. Glorious within. Why? They're
brought to the king in clothing wrought with gold. That's Christ.
Brought to the king in raiment of needlework. They're following
Him with gladness and rejoicing they brought to the King. And
they'll be remembered, verse 17, to all generations. His name,

sweet ointment to our Lord. Charon, Hepuch, you have the
Lord's strength and the anointing oil put upon you through Christ
our Lord.
