God used Israel one final time and it was to speak to his children and what was to come.  The deep we look into these prophecies upon his grandchildren and children we see God's plans being unfolded to save all humanity from the curse of sin.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

-Benjamin Franklin 

Although God used Egypt for good things as we will soon see took a turn for the worst.  Why is it that we are so willing to be enslaved for a little bit a safety?

Finally reunited with his father Israel Joseph helps his family get settled in and introduces them to Pharaoh.  Joseph was a real person who lived in the land of Egypt and did everything the Bible says he did.  This only sounds off to us if we haven't given it real world thought.  Check the links below for a little more detail.

Bible History

Ron Wyatt - Joseph

Once again God kept his promises to the family of Abraham and all his descendants.  Israel hasn't seen his son in years and now he and his entire family are leaving the land that was promised to them in order to be saved.  Jesus often askes us to do what is best for us yet at the time it may not seem so.

Joseph was so excited not only that he might see his father again but that through the entire ordeal God was able to make changes in the hearts of his brothers.  Pharaoh even wishes to celebrate with his most trusted advisor.

The purpose for what the Lord allowed to happen in Joseph's life finally comes to a head.  Like so many times in our own lives God has a plan and all he needs us to do is not get in the way and obey what He says.  This first part is where Joe reveals himself to his morally altered brothers. 

Once more Joseph's brothers face him on bended knee but this time they brought someone new, his baby brother.  Yet once again he conducts himself with a loving character toward his betrayers yet his heart breaks seeing his younger brother he hasn't seen in years.  Knowing what's right always seems so easy on paper but when we're faced with the doing, what will we choose?

It's finally happened, Joseph's past has found him and the prophetic dreams he had when he was a young man have come to fruition.  Although he does something fairly unexpected when interacting with his brothers for the first time in several years.

Coming to a city near you!  We've talked about the parallels between Joe and Jesus but what we find today is prophecy of time to come when there will be a "famine in the land"; this is not speak of food.

Ron Wyatt - Joseph in Egypt

Even when we are in the most troubling times of our lives, do we give God the glory and press forward sharing the truth of Jesus?  Joe does exactly that, he was sold into slavery, unjustly accused and sent to prison, yet through all this he stands firmly with the Lord.
