Genesis - 92 - The Saga of Joseph - Gen. 41

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 10

GOD BRINGS ORDER AND CHAOS

HE IS THE ALL POWERFUL ONE WHO IS GOD ALONE

In this lesson Joseph's life is shown to be clearly in the hands of the Lord.  The Pharaoh has dreams and through a series of circumstances the cup bearer of Pharaoh (probably his butler or the manager of food and beverages and banquets) remembers what happened to him in jail.  He remembered the Hebrew young man who interpreted his dream and the dream of the baker.  The message from the Lord is clear ...

1) He had a plan for Joseph's life and the Lord knew it meant some tough times for Joseph ...

2) This carries into the life of Jesus as well.  We know that the saga of Joseph is a paradigm, a model, a prototype of Jesus.  They are both saviors of the world through BREAD.  For Joseph is was the bread from the earth and for Jesus is was Himself, the bread from heaven.  So too for Jesus, the Father had a plan for His son's life as well and nothing could stop the plan or interfere with its results, the salvation of Jew and Gentile for those in Yeshua HaMaschiach.  Just consider ...

Eph 1:3-5 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us to be adopted as his sons through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will. 

1Pe 1:18-20 For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake. 

3) But this is true for us today in the 21st century.  God tells us again and again He never changes as we read in Mal. 3:6.  And if we are true disciples of Adonai Yeshua, if we truly want to live our lives as the image of the Messiah in all we say and do, then, as the Father had a plan for Yeshua so too for us who are to be like Him.

Once again here is a great video that introduces us to this amazing connection between Joseph and Jesus.  What is so awesome is God inspired Moses to write about Joseph 3400 years ago.  Little did Moses know how his writing would help us today to see how God predicted His ultimate SAVIOR OF THE WORLD from the story of Joseph as the prototype.  Here's the link to the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKadh0fVCo

Also, here's link to an awesome website, "Hebrew4Christians."  I linked you to the pages at this website that also give even more awesome connections between Yosef and Yeshua.
