You have to
carefully notice the order.
Jesus’ age = Joseph’s age.
Jesus was mentioned before beginning his ministry. “Behold the Lamb of
God”.
Without the Lamb, sins can’t be removed. The orders of verses in the Bible
are very important.
Wife is mentioned in 45 but Joseph’s age is mentioned in 46. Wife is
mentioned before his ministry.
God has chosen us before the Begging of the world.
In the beginning the church was Jewish in nature but than Gentiles were

Joseph went to all the land of Egypt.He did not remain in his palace but

You have to go everywhere not with in a certain group or denomination. |
| 60- Joseph’s
Exaltation was followed by a season of plenty |
(Gen. 41:47-49). |
II Corinthians 6:2.
= Our dispensation of Grace.
The present dispensation is by far the longest. What a period of Grace.
How few were saved from Abel to the Flood!
How few were saved during the times of Patriarch!
How few among Israel from the days of Joshua!
How few during the ministry of Christ!
But 120 in the upper room.
The earth is now bringing fruit in abundance (Joel 12:24) much fruit. |
| 61- Joseph’s
Exaltation was also followed by a period of famine). |
(Gen. 41:53,54
Prosperity was only in Egypt (only in some places the God is worshipped in
spirit and truth).Famine all over the
world. |
Just as the 7 yr. a
complete period points to Grace so the 7 yr. of famine look to that which
shall follow Rom 11:25, Tribulation, Jacob’s trouble.
Daniel 12:1; Mk 13:19,20.
In Anti Christ’s time all over the world will be under his control.
Amos 8:11,12; Rev.3: 10; Is 55:6.
There are two types of Famine.
Literal Famine and Spiritual Famine.
What will one do when the Holy Spirit will depart from this world?Famine
in word means there will be no word of God. |
| 62- Joseph is seen
dispensing bread to the perishing world |
(Gen. 41:55). |
This rejected should
be the only Savior of the World.
Jesus is the Passport to the Favor of God.
His brothers rejected him. Rom. 11:11 When Paul wrote this verse he was
having the type in his minds. You have to keep types in your mind. |
| 63- Joseph alone
dispensed the bread of life (Gen. 41:55). |
Joseph was the
appointed Savior, whosoever hungry goes to Joseph. |
Acts 4:12; Math
17:5.
We can’t go into the presence of Father directly we have to come to Jesus.
Mary told the people in Cana “Do what He Says”. |
| 64- Joseph became a
Savior to all People (Gen. 41:57). |
Joseph gave to
everyone alike, No distinction. . |
Salvation is the
gift from God

limit less resources to meet the need of all. |
Eph 1:7; 2:7; 2:4; I
peter 1:3; Eph 3:8; Col. 2:9; Rom. 10:12.
There is infinite value in that precious blood, infinite power In Jesus. |
| 66- Joseph’s
brothers are driven out of their Land |
(Gen. 42:1-3,5). |
Danger of dying =
journey to Egypt = Roman Emperor Titus drove them out of their land in
A.D.70.
Israel rejected Jesus and they were driven out. |
| 67- Joseph was
unknown and unrecognized by his brethren . |
(Gen. 42:6,8)
Joseph had been exalted but Jacob knew it not. All the years he was
thinking Joseph was dead. |
This is true about
Israel they don’t know the exaltation of Jesus. He is exalted to the right
hand of the Father and they still don’t know. |
| 68- Joseph however
saw and knew his brethren . |
(Gen. 42:7) |
Joseph Saw his
brethren, his eyes were open to them even they knew him not.Jer. 16:7;
Hosea 5:3. |
| 69- Joseph punished
his brethren . |
(Gen. 42:7,17) |
Why the Jews are
suffering (Hosea 9:17).
They rejected Messiah Math. 23:38,39, 35,26. |
| 70- Joseph made know
to them a way of deliverance through substitution. |
Gen. 42:17-19,24. |
On the 3rd day he
cause Simeon to be bound in the place of his brethren that by this means
they may all be delivered in the 3rd day.
Third day is the day of resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Jesus’ case is more superior He released Himself and also us from the
bondage of death on the 3rd day. |
| 71- Joseph made
provisions for the Brethren while they were in strange land. |

Jer. 30:11; Ezek 11:16. |
| 72- Joseph was made
known to his brethren at the Second Time |
Acts 7:13.
First time they did not know him
Joshua & Israel-Spy-no. Num. 13.
Second time-accepted
David – I Sam. 17:17-18,28.
Later they owned him as their King. |
When Jesus
will come for the Second time Israel will accept Him. |
| 73- Joseph’s
brethren confess their guilt in the sight of God |
(Gen. 44:16). |
Ezek 20:42; 42;

God’s word is so rich. |
| 74- Joseph’s
brethren were also, at first troubled in his presence |
(Gen. 45:3). |
Zech. 12:10. |
| 75- Joseph Acts with

(Gen. 45:4,5,15). |
Zech. 13:1; Is.
54:7,8. |
| 76- Joseph was
revealed as Man of Compassion |
Gen. 45:1-2 , 7
times we read of Joseph weeping (perfection).
Gen. 42:24, 43:30; 45:1-2; 45:15; 46:29; 50:1; 50:15-17. |
Jesus wept. |
| 77- Joseph revealed
himself to Judah & his brethren before he was made known to the rest of
Jacob’s household. |
Judah was their
spokesman. He sold Joseph to Ishmaelite. |
Zech 12:7. |
| 78- Joseph’s
brothers go forth proclaiming his glory |
(Gen. 45:9,13). |
Is 66:19; Micah 5:7.
Gentiles will not preach in millennium but Jews are the future
Evangelists.
God’s work will not stop after the rapture of the Church. The Jews are
having very bright future but first they have to undergo tribulation. |
| 79- Joseph makes
ready his Chariot and goes forth to meet Jacob |
(Gen.46: 29).He
reveals himself in splendor and kingliness to his people. He meets Judah
in Goshen. First, he meets his father, then household of Jacob. |
The coming of Christ
in Glory. Is 66:15. |
| 80- Joseph settles
his brethren in a land of their own |
(Gen. 47:27). |
Goshen was the best
part of Egypt. So Palestine, the best land in Millennium Israel shall
possess. Of course, there will be Geographical changes in the world before
that. Now they can’t settle in anyway. |

| 83- Joseph’s
brethren wished to pay for what they received |
(Gen. 42:3).The word
“buy” occurs no less than 5 times in this chapter. They thought of
purchasing it. |
Natural man in his
mind never reaches to the level of receiving a Gift from God.
Naaman-Prodigal. |
| 84- Joseph’s
brethren assume a self-righteous attitude as they come before the Lord of
Egypt. |
(Gen. 42:7,9). |
It is thus God
begins His work to the sinner. He wounds before. He heals, conviction,
condemn, sinner reacts, denies, He is self-righteous.
We are true men-boasts. |
| 85- Joseph’s
brethren were carry into prison for 3 day |
(Gen. 42:17). |
God thus deals to
the lost. The sinner must be made to realize what is his past de. He must
be taught that he deserves nothing but punishment. He must be shown in the
place of condemn & shame. He must be abused before exalted. |
| 86- Joseph’s
brethren were now sinners in their conscience |
(Gen. 42:21).
They said to one another-not before God. |
Not yet taken the
place of a lost sinner before God. |
| 87- Joseph makes it
known that deliverance is by Grace |
(Gen. 42:25). |
The bread of life
can’t be purchased it must be accepted as a free gift.

| 88- Joseph’s
brethren soon had their superficial peace disturbed . |
(Gen. 42:27,28) |
God will not allow
the awakened Soul to rest (43:1,2). Hunger of the Soul is the most acute. |
| 89- Joseph’s
brethren continue to manifest a legal Spirit |
(Gen. 43:11,15).
Double money redoubles his efforts to please God.
How literal men knew Joseph-Governor. |
Christ is the one
who spread the feast. Luke 14:17-provider.The sinner is the receiver. |
| 90- Joseph’s
brethren are now made happy again |
(Gen. 43:33,34). |
Not yet right
relationship been established, nevertheless they could be “merry”- God’s
saving work goes much deeper than emotions. |
| 91- Joseph is
detailed. To bring his brethren out into the light. . |
(Gen. 44:1,2) |
No fellowship until
the wrong had been righted. He is Holy & sinless our sins must be
confessed and put away before we can reconcile to Him. |
| 92- Joseph’s
brethren, At last, take their true place before God (Gen. 44:4). |
|
“true men” this is
the design of the Spirit’s work. |
| 93- Joseph made
himself known to his brethren. |
(Gen. 45:1). |
“Then” None must
come between the needy soul & the Redeemer. Away ye
priests-ritualistic-human interferes, let every man go out. |

of blessed Savior? . He promises to sustain them. |

proof that he is fully reconciled to his brethren |
(Gen. 45:15).
The kiss taken- they were forgiven.It
speaks of Love-Prodigal-Notice.

God Always takes the
initiative at every point.”After his
brethren talked to him” Their fears were gone (fellowship). |
| 97- Joseph’s joy was
shared by others |
(Gen. 45:16). |
Luke 15. Joy in the
presence of God. |

(Gen.
45:24).Exhortation. |
