The story of Joseph and his brothers reveals a pattern of
one of the central themes of the Torah:
• Sin
• Punishment/Discipline
• Teshuva (Repentance)
• Redemption
All of these components operate within the intended
final goal of family unity.
When the brothers sin, it goes against this goal; and it is to
this goal that they will all return upon repentance. This
pattern began in the Garden and cycles and recycles until
we get to the last pages of Revelation. For this reason,
there is much for us to learn in our story about Joseph
that will help us Mikeitz– at the end. In fact, end times are
exactly where our Torah parasha points us:
Bereshith 41:1 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full
years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by
the river.
8
What is the point of Yosef’s lengthy story? Repentance,
reconciliation, and family unity. What did the brothers
need to repent of? The sin of “selling” a “brother” is one
of the more serious sins and according to the Torah,
worthy of death:
Devarim 24:7 " If a man is found kidnapping a soul of his
brother of the children of Israel, and mistreats him or sells
him, then that kidnapper shall die; and you shall put away
the evil from among you.
“Selling” Yosef is connected with the 1st sin listed as a
cause for the wrath of YHVH upon Israel:
Amos 2:6 Thus says YHVH: "For three transgressions of
Israel, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment,
because they sell the righteous for silver…
Yeshua also was sold by His brethren for “silver”, resulting
in “bloodguilt” which YHVH promises will be “pardoned”:
Joel 3:21 "Their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, I
will pardon….
9
Thus Yosef understands the need to send his brothers on a
journey of repentance. Their awful act – the sale of a brother –
was a sin that had the potential to haunt the family for
generations. Yosef desired to bring repentance and unity to the
family; and although he was not spoken to directly by the Father,
through his dreams he understood the authority he was given.
A wise Yosef knew that one shows full repentance by facing the
same situation in which one sinned initially and this time,
showing restraint. So Yosef places his brothers in situations
whereby they must choose between themselves and their
younger brother, now known as their father’s favorite.
Yosef’s objective then, is to lure his brother Benyamin to Egypt
and thereby expose the hearts of his brothers.

“Our parsha MIKETZ traces the successive stages in which the
snare was laid to force Jacob and his Twelve Sons to follow
Joseph down into exile in Egypt in preparation for the ultimate
redemption of the Children of Israel years later on that same
date. The net is artfully prepared by Joseph, who alone of all the
sons of Jacob had the power to stand in the House of Pharaoh.
Joseph is the archetype of the Tzaddik who enables us to survive
in This World. Having been drawn down to Egypt by Joseph, the
Children of Israel are eventually redeemed by Moses, who, having
been brought up in the House of Pharaoh, had the power to stand
there. Moses is integrally linked with Joseph, and thus Moses
‘took the bones (the essence) of Joseph with him’ up out of
Egypt. Moses is the Tzaddik who teaches us the path leading
through the wilderness of This World to the Land of the Living --
the Land of Israel.”
11
The context:
The “oppressor” is Pharaoh, the King of Mitzrayim.
“Mitzrayim”, means “constriction” and “bondage”.
“Mitzrayim” was also the third son of Ham. The scriptural
references to Ham‟s descendants from B’reshith Chapter
10, show that they have come to represent bondage and
sexual sin in the world.
The Land of Egypt became the “stronghold” of Mitzrayim
(constriction and bondage) and has, from the time of
Avraham until Moshe, tried to “uncover the nakedness” of
Yisra‟el.
It was Pharaoh who kidnapped Sarah, in order to pollute
Avraham‟s genealogy. It took what B’reshith 12:17
describes as “great plagues” to force Pharaoh into
releasing her. And, it was Pharaoh who enslaved and
brutalized B‟nei Yisra‟el, and killed their male children, at
the time of Moshe‟s birth.
Torah is a progressive revelation we go from the concealed to
the revealed.
The world today cannot understand because for most of the
readers, the Torah is just a book with a literal meaning and
remain conceal to them.
Have you not heard people saying: “the bible is only a story
from people” or even from Christians: “the bible is the story
of the ancestors”. This statement is true,
- but the purpose of ‫יהוה‬when making Moshe record the
Torah was not only to make a “record” from many events
from the beginning (B’reshit), but to reveal Messiah, in
order that every man’s mouth be shut and ‫יהוה‬’ s people
build their faith in the Torah and not in the doctrines of
men! Shaul says:" faith comes by hearing and hearing the
word of Elohim” (Rom.10:17).
- The word of Elohim is the Torah!
‫יהוה‬says through the prophet Yeshayahu (Isaiah) in chapter
46:9-10 that He speaks the end from the beginning.
Sh’lomoh write in Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 1:9
“ What has been is what shall be, what has been done is
what shall be done, and there is no new matter under the
sun.”
*** In other words if you want to know the end, just study
the beginning. We cannot understand the book of
Revelation if we reject the study of Torah.
- We can already see Messiah in the first nineteen
verses of B’reshit chapter one. Don’t mistake me, not
in the literal text, we will have to go in
the “sod”(mystery) going through the “remez” and
“drash” levels.
- *** Yoseph in the “remez” (hint) and “sod” (hidden or
mystery) is a picture of ‫יהושע‬, like Yoseph beloved of
his father and we are going to see the numerous
parallel in the “parasha”.
41:1. “….at the end of two years’ time”.
Torah is a progressive revelation we go from the concealed
to the revealed. The world today cannot understand
because for most of the readers, the Torah is just a book
with a literal meaning and remain conceal to them.
- We have now trained ourselves to read the
different “Parsha” in the four levels of the “Pardes” in
order to see what ‫יהוה‬has prepared for those who seek
him in His word.
‫יהושע‬says in Mattityahu 7:7 “seek and you shall find”.
King David writes in Psalm 25:” The secret (sod) of ‫יהוה‬is
for them that fear him”.......
The Hebrew word for “fear” is Strong’s # H3373 ‫ירא‬
yârê' yaw-ray' From H3372; fearing; morally reverent: -
afraid, fear (-full)................
We all know that “the fear of ‫יהוה‬is the beginning of
wisdom” (Prov. 9:10), and it’s also the open door for
knowledge (da’at) Prov.1:7
We are going to scrutinize Yoseph’s life in the light of the
coming Messiah and see the parallels between both of
them. Have you not heard people saying: “the bible is only
a story from people” or even from Christians: “the bible is
the story of the ancestors”.
- This statement is true, but the purpose of ‫יהוה‬when
making Moshe record the Torah was not only to
make a “record” from many events from the
beginning (B’reshit), but to reveal Messiah, in
order that every man’s mouth be shut and ‫יהוה‬’ s
people build their faith in the Torah and not in the
doctrines of men! Shaul says:"
- faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of
Elohim” (Rom.10:17). The word of Elohim is the Torah!
‫יהוה‬says through the prophet Yeshayahu(Isaiah) in chap.
46:9-10 that YHVH speaks the end from the beginning.
Parsah “Miketz” and follow Yoseph tribulation in Egypt.
The word "Tribulation" comes from the Latin
word “tribulum” which was an instrument used to separate
the corn wheat from its husk, before it could be used for
making bread. The husk represents the impurity of life
which covers each of us, and must be removed.
- When ‫יהוה‬bring us through life’s tribulation it is to
remove this husk (impurities) and make us vessels of gold,
refined and pure.
The context: First Pharaoh is here a picture of “G-d on
earth", indeed Pharaoh was many time called “g-d”.
Egypt in the Torah is a microcosm of the world today.
To avoid mistake, we need to understand
that Pharaoh from Yoseph’s time is not the same
Pharaoh from Moshe’s time; and so other Pharaoh, other
situation.
- In this context Pharaoh is a metaphor for “God on earth”.
The context of the Torah is I say it again a shadow of
what we see today.
Egypt (Mitzrayim) was the microcosm of what will
happen to Ya’acov’s descendants after Messiah
departure to the Father.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in
drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or
of the Sabbath days:
Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the
body of the Messiah.
*** When you see the shadow of something
you are close to the image, -
- shadow and image are both one,
- no shadow without the image!
Don't think that Sha'ul here is writing that these things are not
important, he just make clear against the popular belief at this
time that all this thinks where shadow and not the full image of
things to come. *** Meat, drink, holiday (feast of ‫,)יהוה‬ new moon
Shabbat are all pointing to things to be reveal in Messiah ‫יהושע‬ (
Colossians 2:16-17)
*** the bible refers to this “YHVH’s FEAST”
or My Appointed Times ( moedim) Lev.23
YHVH pinpointed times on the calendar when His people could
set time apart with HIM, away fr. The normal business in life.
*** the 2nd word used in Scripture is MIKRAH, w/c is a holy
convocation, a sacred assembly, or a rehearsal of GOD’s PAST,
PRESENT, AND FUTURE ACTS. As we study these celebrations,
we will see that each one is remembering or foreshadowing an
aspect of MESSIAH’s ministry. They represent HIS
SACRIFICE,RESURRECTION, THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT,
THE BRIDE’S PREPAREDNESS FOR THE RAPTURE, & d
MESSIAH’S RETURN TO EARTH to establish HIS KINGDOM and
to TABERNACLE with US forever. Eze. 43:7
When you see the shadow of something you are close to the
image, shadow and image are both one, no shadow without
the image! Sha'ul wrote this letter at the time when
the "world" was under the pagan Roman control and his
system of worship that had great influence on people. Before
that the Greek had already spoiled the mind of the people.
Further this letter like all other letter are not written to
common people but here to the believers in ‫יהושע‬living in
Colossae . Greeks also indulged in schools of logic and
philosophy (wisdom of man) and their thinking spread in the
Roman world of this days and today in the all world. I remind
you that in college and university Greek Philosopher and
others have a great audience (listeners).
Sha'ul write: " Let no man therefore judge………………… but
the body of the Messiah..
In other words: "don't let pagans outside the Torah tell you
what is good for you". *** Christians in their lack of
understanding use these verses to promote lawlessness.
41:1. “….at the end of two years’ time”.
It looks that we also today find ourselves in the same
situation at the end of two full years, or two thousand
years when we consider that one day equals one
thousand years (Psalm 90:4).
Today HaSatan the g-d of this world (spiritual entity of
Pharaoh) try to build his own Kingdom but as it was with
Pharaoh, ‫יהוה‬will deliver His people from his hand at
Messiah Second Advent, the same as it was
withYoseph. Yoseph is a picture of ‫יהושע‬who came
to save his brethren in the midst of a pagan system,
*** born as a man, he was rejected of his brethren and
was raised at the right hand of Pharaoh! Can you see
the parallel with ‫יהושע‬?
Joh 1:11 He ( ‫יהושע‬) came to His own, and His own did
not receive Him.
*** In this Parsha, we are going to see how ‫יהוה‬will
turn Egypt (the world system) over toYoseph (the
saviour of his brethren) a shadow of what will soon
become reality for you and me.
Gen 41:1 and it came to be, at the end of two years’
time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing
by the river, Gen 41:2 and saw seven cows coming up
out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed
amongst the reeds,
Gen 41:3 then saw seven other cows coming up after
them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by
the other cows on the bank of the river. Gen 41:4 and
the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine
looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
Gen 41:5 and he slept and dreamed a second time and
saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk,
plump and good, Gen 41:6 and saw seven lean heads,
scorched by the east wind, coming up after them.
Gen 41:7 and the seven lean heads swallowed the seven
plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and
saw it was a dream. Gen 41:8 and it came to be in the
morning that his spirit was moved, and
he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and
all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his
dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them
for Pharaoh.
The book of Yasher explains that Pharaoh tried to get
the interpretation through his magicians and they were
not able, but to give their own interpretation as we can
see today similarity with the “false prophets” of the
world.

Do my dreams having any special meaning? How
can I know? BEREANS.org
Daniel and Joseph interpreted dreams. Paul was
directed at least once by a dream. Peter appeared to
have a dream during an early afternoon nap. When
one reads the Bible, it seems quite natural to
assume that dreams have a purpose. Depending
upon your faith background, you may consider your
dreams valuable insights, or not.
But do my (or your) dreams mean anything really?
How do we decide if our dreams are messages from
G-d, or simply too much (kosher) pizza the night
before? Since I do not remember most of my
dreams, I am not a good test case. I do know what
Scripture teaches about the negative side of dreams
though..
When HaShem your G-d cuts off from before you the
nations which you go to dispossess, and you
displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to
yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them,
after they are destroyed from before you, and that
you do not inquire after their gods, saying, "How did
these nations serve their gods? I also will do
likewise." You shall not worship HaShem your G-d in
that way; for every abomination to HaShem which
He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn
even their sons and daughters in the fire to their
gods. Whatever I command you, be careful to
observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from
it.
Deuteronomy 12:29-13:4
If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of
dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and
the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he
spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods" -
which you have not known - "and let us serve them,"
you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or
that dreamer of dreams, for HaShem your G-d is
testing you to know whether you love HaShem your
G-d with all your heart and with all your soul. You
shall walk after HaShem your G-d and fear Him, and
keep His commandments and obey His voice; you
shall serve Him and hold fast to Him.
Deuteronomy 12:29-13:4
There are a few things that this passage can teach us
about idolatry, fearing HaShem, and dreams.
Worshipping HaShem in the manner of pagans, is idolatry
*** The definition of idolatry is the opposite of, "Whatever I
command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add
to it nor take away from it."
*** Signs and dreams can appear valid, yet if they
contradict the Torah, they are a test and we should not
follow them.
The definition of fearing G-d is, "You shall walk after
HaShem your G-d and fear Him, and keep His
commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him
and hold fast to Him."
*** Are my dreams trying to tell me something? Possibly.
But if they lead me away from the Torah, they are a test... a
test as to whether I will walk after HaShem, or engage in
idolatry. *
But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an
uninformed person comes in, he is convinced
by all, he is convicted by all. And thus the
secrets of his heart are revealed; and so,
falling down on his face, he will worship G-d
and report that G-d is truly among you.
1Corinthians 14:24-25
*** The purest prophecy is simply to declare
what HaShem has already spoken in His word,
His Torah.
Parashat Miketz - 'At the end' (Genesis 41:1-
44:17)
The Torah has the answer to the question that
every man and women of G-d has asked,
"Why do bad things happen to good people?"
Ah, HaShem loves this question when asked
by one of His own because He loves to tell
you the answer.
“ It is about miketz.
It is about revealing what someone is "made
of."
The first place we read of miketz is in Genesis 4:3:
And in the process of time [miketz] it came to pass
that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground
to HaShem.
Genesis 4:3
And G-d said unto Noah, The end [miketz] of all flesh
is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence
through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the
earth.
Genesis 6:13
And it came to pass at the end [miketz] of forty days,
that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had
made:
Genesis 8:6
You can see that miketz is used to define the
end of a period of time. What time?
- In all ten instances of the word miketz used
in the Torah, each defines the end of a time
of testing.
- The Master Assayer has placed one of His
creations into a crucible, and revealed the
purity or the dross. In the case of Cain, he
failed that test. Dross was all of what was
left. In the case of the generation of the
Flood, only eight survived - the rest, the
dross, were swept away. In the case of
Noah, he and his family survived the test.
Miketz is more than simply the end point to a
period of testing. Lest we begin to think that these
men and women are merely mice placed within a
maze to test their abilities, we need to always
remember what Genesis 20:23 says, and then
implies, "... the chief butler did not remember
Joseph, but forgot him"... but G-d did not.
Miketz is more than simply the end point to a period of

Remember the promises that HaShem made to Abraham?
A Seed, a Land, a Blessing? Remember how He told him
that his descendants would be strangers in a foreign land?
Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your
descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs,
and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred
years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge;
afterward they shall come out with great possessions."
Genesis 15:13-14
*** Joseph is a part of the plan
Joseph is a part of the plan. All the awful things that have
happened so far in Joseph's life have happened because there
was a plan, and HaShem had decreed Joseph's role. Surely, this
miketz [at the end] is the end of Joseph's trial that serves a part
of HaShem's plan of redemption. But that is only one level, there
is something far more personal. This trial was for Joseph. It was
not a trial to take one of dubious character, and improve him -
although difficult things teach important lessons.
- No, beloved, this miketz marks the end of Joseph's trial of
character revelation. In all the years that precede our parasha,
we are given evidence of the consistency of Joseph's character.
In all the horrible circumstances, Joseph is exemplary. It is now
time for finishing the story. This week's portion tells us in plain
and unmistakable terms that Joseph's descent into Egypt was
not by accident, or "bad luck" - and neither is his meteoric rise.
It is by design. *** The G-d of the Universe did not forget Joseph,
and whether he was in the dark pit, or the cruel prison - or on
the throne of Egypt... HaShem was with him.
KING DAVID’S ADVICE ON SURVIVING TRIALS
Psalm 119:92 If Your law/torah had not been my delight,
Then I would have perished in my affliction.
Psa 119:93 I will never forget Your precepts, For by them
You have revived me.
Psa 119:94 I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your
precepts.
Psa 119:92 Kundi ang kautusan mo'y naging aking
kaaliwan, namatay nga sana ako sa aking
kadalamhatian.
Psa 119:93 Hindi ko kalilimutan kailan man ang mga
tuntunin mo; sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng mga yaon ay
binuhay mo ako.
Psa 119:94 Ako'y iyo, iligtas mo ako, sapagka't aking
hinanap ang mga tuntunin mo,
Beloved, there is a miketz for each of us. If you follow the
footsteps of Yeshua, if you follow Him in obedience to HaShem's
Torah, then you are being tested. Like Joseph, you may have
reason to feel alone. The very reason why you are shunned may
be because you have chosen to take HaShem at His Word.
- Fellow believers may have called you a heretic.
- Family members may roll their eyes when you speak of the
commandments of the Almighty.
- If you are not Jewish, friends may call you "Jew wannabe"
behind your back. If you are Jewish, friends may wonder why
you can't seem to come out from "under the old law." Some
may snicker at your tzitzit, or make fun of your observance of
the commandments.
- Maybe they call you a legalist, or worse, "a Pharisee"
(personally, I like that one - I am honored to be named among
men like Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and Paul).
- Maybe they think your keeping and honoring the Shabbat is
dangerous.
Maybe it is for some other reason that you find yourself like
Joseph, in circumstances that are dark and lonely because
you have been faithful to your Master.
Beloved, this week's parasha holds hope for you.
Joseph is your model, and his life is evidence that although
the butler may have forgotten, HaShem does not.
You are not alone. HaShem put you there, and in due time, the
miketz will come, and everyone will know the truth:
you are not alone!
Like Joseph, continue to live the life of Torah, the life of
Messiah, wherever you are and in whatever circumstances
you find yourself.
You are a part of the plan.
HaShem remembers, and He pays special attention to those
who suffer wrongfully for His righteousness' sake.
As you study this week's parasha, rejoice in the fact that
Joseph is exalted. He is not only a marvelous example for all
those who desire to live faithfully to G-d - he is a pre-figure of
our Messiah. Yeshua too was alone, and mistreated because
of His faithfulness; and yet one day He will sit on His throne
in Jerusalem and every knee will bow to Him. Even so, come
quickly HaShem Yeshua.
Like Joseph, the group we were discussing had an
accusation leveled against them. They were criticized for the
very reason that they seek to honor HaShem not only with
their lips, and their hidden thoughts, but expressed in loving
obedience to His Torah. How ironic! Joseph was imprisoned
wrongly because of his faithfulness to his slave master
Potiphar. I was encouraged as I considered this, because I
remembered that there is a blessing that accompanies those
who find themselves persecuted because they love the words
of HaShem.
You are not alone, beloved.
You are not alone, beloved.
How blessed are those who are persecuted because
they pursue righteousness! for the Kingdom of Heaven
is theirs. How blessed you are when people insult you
and persecute you and tell all kinds of vicious lies about
you because you follow me! Rejoice, be glad, because
your reward in heaven is great - they persecuted the
prophets before you in the same way.
Matthew 5:10-11
It is my prayer that I am not persecuted for my own
failings - but for HaShem's righteousness sake. It is my
prayer for you as well. There is a miketz.
At the end of two years, .. (Genesis 41:1 CJB)
Our parsha begins by telling us; “Va y‟hee miketz sh‟nachim”.
This literally translates; “It was the end of two years of days..”
“two years of days”, when we read about the life of Avraham
and Sarah, Torah referred to them, in the Hebrew, as “walking in
their days” and that “their years were full of days”.
“Hebrewism” refers to the fact that they occupied or filled
their days.
- Yoseph, didn’t just mark time in prison; he served YHVH
and literally “fulfilled” his days in prison. Joseph had a
decision to make: Was he going to live and rest in the
knowledge and understanding that ALL was in YHVH’s care
or take matters into his own hands?
- Joseph chose wisely. He chose to grow with the situation of
hardships and trials and allow his Heavenly Father to
guide, correct and mould him into the image and destiny
YHVH purposed for his life. Letting go of self (earthly
realm) until only YHVH existed (heavenly realm).
Prophetic symbolism: Two years = 2000 years before Yeshua
will raise us up so that we can rule and reign with Him. 47
In this Parsha, we are going to see how ‫יהוה‬will turn
Egypt (the world system) over toYoseph (the saviour of
his brethren) a shadow of what will soon become
reality for you and me.
Gen 41:1 and it came to be, at the end of two years’
time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing
by the river, Gen 41:2 and saw seven cows coming up
out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed
amongst the reeds,
In this dream again the number seven indicate the
“divine completion on earth” This is the sign of the
coming supernatural change marked by the
following number eight which mark the “Olam
Haba” or “Eternity”.
Seven: The invisible “Creator” in connection with the
“Created”, the One (Echad, ‫יהוה‬) with the six.
Nachmanides (12th century Spain) : Seven is the number
of the natural world.
- There are seven days in the week, seven notes on
the musical scale and seven direction(left, right, up,
down, forward, back and centre), seven represented
by the seven days of Succoth is the world of nature.
- “Eight” represented by Shemini Atzeret, is that which
is beyond nature, the eighth day of theFeast of
Succoth.
Seven: completeness, rest (Shabbat), healing, used as
a flag for an important even like the “Millennium
kingdom”.
Verse 12, Yoseph was a Hebrew and NOT a “Jew” as
many want to call him today. Brethren let us love one
another with a pure heart and not with man’s traditions.
Verse 14, they brought him out of the dungeon........
Dungeon Strong’s # H953 ‫ּבור‬bôr bore From H952 (in
the sense of H877); a pit hole(especially one used as
a cistern or prison): - cistern, dungeon, fountain, pit,
well.
*** The prophet Yeshayahu sees the spiritual
fulfilment of the “dungeon”. Later Luke explains that
this “dungeon” could not stop Elohim’s fulfilment
for him Yoseph / ‫יהושע‬to save his brethren, but look
the parallel between
the Torah with Yoseph's condition, the Prophet
Yeshayahu speaking of ‫יהושע‬and Luke also
speaking of ‫יהושע‬:
Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison* (dungeon) and from
judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He
shall be cut off from the land of the living? For the
transgression of My people He was stricken.
Isa 53:9 and He was appointed a grave with the wrong, and
with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence.
*Here the word for prison is:
H6115 ‫ר‬ֶ‫עֹוצ‬` otser (o'-tser) n-m.
1. closure
2. also constraint
[from H6113]
KJV: X barren, oppression, X prison
But carry the same idea.
Act 2:24 “Him Elohim raised up, having loosed the pangs
of death, because it was impossible that He could be
held in its grip.
Gen 41:9 then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I
remember my crimes this day. Gen 41:10 “When Pharaoh was wroth
with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain
of the guard, both me and the chief baker, Gen 41:11 each one of us
dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according
to the interpretation of his own dream. Gen 41:12 “And there was with
us a Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard and we related
to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he
interpreted according to his own dream. Gen 41:13 “And it came to be,
as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office,
and he hanged him.” Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph,
and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and
changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh. Gen 41:15 And Pharaoh
said to Yosĕph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to
interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a
dream, to interpret it.” Gen 41:16 And Yosĕph answered Pharaoh,
saying, “It is not in me, let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.”
Spiritual interpretation:
* Pharaoh’s dream is a signal for us today as we hear the rulers
of the world and economic system saying that there is not
enough food to feed the people in the all world.
The prophet Amos warns us that the last Famine will be the
worst of all:
Amo 8:11 “See, days are coming,” declares the Master ‫יהוה‬,
“that I shall send a hunger (famine) land, not a hunger (famine)
for bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the Words
of ‫י‬‫הוה‬.
*** Spiritual for natural, people today think mostly to feed their
belly and reject ‫יהוה‬’ s eternal Torah.
* Pharaoh sees cows and corn in his dream.
Cows are clean animals and the fat ones represent “righteous
believers”.
Corn is used to make bread, and we know that bread is a
picture of ‫יהושע‬, the bread of life (Yochanan 6) also of spiritual
food.
Verse 18 the fat cows feed in a meadow, grazing the grass.
His action represents believers taking the words of the Torah in order
to chew it or meditate on the Torah. Verse 20 the lean cows represent
the believers before the coming of Messiah who have “no appetite” for
the Torah “the grass” and oppress the fat ones (righteous believers)
by their false ways and false doctrines......... Mat 23:15 Woe unto you,
scribes and Pharisees (Rabbis), hypocrites! For ye compass sea and
land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him
twofold more the child of hell (Gehenna) than yourselves.................
* How many "teachers", "leaders" in messianic congregations put
people under bondage giving them false doctrines, not knowing
themselves to discern between right and left?( IMMATURE BABIES HEB.6)
Verse 25, Yoseph tells Pharaoh that both dreams are
one and the same dream, the lean cows, the lazy and
unfaithful believers(lean cows) have taken the place of
the righteous believers (fat cows) who ate the bread
(corn, good ears, word of Torah)
Luk 18:8 “I say to you that He shall do right to them
speedily. But when the Son of Aḏam comes, shall He
find the belief on the earth?”
2Ti 2:18 who have missed the goal concerning the truth,
saying that the resurrection has already taken
place, and overthrow the belief of some.
1Ti 6:21 which some, having professed it, have
missed the goal concerning the.
Compare what Kefa writes to the remnant:
1Pe 1:7 in order that the proving of your belief – much
more precious than gold that perishes, and proven by
fire (Word of ‫יהוה‬)– might be found to result in praise
and respect and esteem at the revelation
of ‫יהושע‬Messiah, (Yoseph was revealed to his
brethren during the famine)
1Pe 1:9 obtaining the goal of your belief/faith: a
deliverance of lives.
1Pe 5:9 Resist him, be firm in the belief/faith, knowing
that the same hardships are experienced by your
brotherhood in the world.
1Jn 5:4 because everyone having been born of Elohim
overcomes the world. And this is the overcoming that
has overcome the world: our belief/faith. ( EMUNAH -
SURE FAITH GROUNDED IN THE TRUTH OF TORAH)
Verse 25 – 37 Now Yoseph reveals Elohim’s plan of “salvation”
to Pharaoh (Head of the world system today). Remember that
Messiah ‫יהושע‬will come to save Elohim’s people, the House
of Ya’acov to rule over them forever (Luke 1:33)......
Verse 32: Nothing can change what ‫יהוה‬has
established, "twice", is the number for division and also
the confirmation of divine purpose..........Yoseph tells
Pharaoh the reason why ‫יהוה‬gave two dreams:
Yasher 48:56. The king dreamed one dream, and the dream was
therefore repeated unto Pharaoh because the thing is
established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Yasher 48:56. The king dreamed one dream, and the
dream was therefore repeated unto Pharaoh because
the thing is established by God, and God will shortly
bring it to pass.
Isa 55:11 so is My Word that goes forth from My mouth
– it does not return to Me empty, but shall do what I
please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it
for.
*** Yoseph plan pleased Pharaoh verse 37. ......
***MMM Now Pharaoh (g-d on earth) will
empower Yoseph and seat him at his right hand,
verse 40 nobody will be greater than Yoseph except
Pharaoh himself:
Spiritual application:
Act 2:34
Spiritual application:
Act 2:34 “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens,
but he himself said, ‘ ‫יהוה‬said to my Master, “Sit at My
right hand, (messianic prophecy)
Col 3:1 If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek
the matters which are above, where Messiah is, seated
at the right hand of Elohim.
1Cor. 15:28 and when all are made subject to Him,
then the Son Himself shall also be subject to
Him (YHWH) who put all under Him, in order that Elohim
be all in all.
Gen 41:25 and Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of
Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is
about to do: Gen 41:26 “The seven good cows are
seven years, and the seven good heads are seven
years – it is one dream.
Gen 41:27 “And the seven lean and ugly cows which
came up after them are seven years, and the seven
empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years
of scarcity of food. Gen 41:28 “This is the word which I
spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He
is about to do. Gen 41:29 “See, seven years of great
plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim, Gen
41:30 but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall
arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of
Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the
land,
Gen 41:31 and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land,
because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very
severe. Gen 41:32 “and the dream was repeated to Pharaoh
twice because the word is established by Elohim, and
Elohim is hastening to do it. Gen 41:33 “and now, let Pharaoh
look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land
of Mitsrayim.Gen 41:34 “let Pharaoh do this, and let him
appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the
land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty. Gen
41:35 “and let them gather all the food of those good years
that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of
Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. Gen
41:36 “and the food shall be for a store for the land for the
seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land
of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the
scarcity of food.” Gen 41:37 and the word was good in the
eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
Torah wisdom:
Question: Why did Joseph offer advice to Pharaoh and not
just interpret the dream?
Ans: The advice was part of the divine message contained in
the dream. A wise man must understand how much food to
store and how much to sell and how to preserve the grain
from spoilage.
Question: A wise person is defined as someone who can see
what's coming. What do you think that means? Wisdom
requires a broad perspective - that is, an ability to look past
the immediate situation and see what the future is likely to
bring.
(aleftavscritures torah portion)
Torah wisdom:
Question: Do you think that planning ahead shows a lack of faith
that YHVH can give us whatever we need, in any situation?
* While it's true that YHVH is unlimited, He wants us to live in
a practical and responsible way. We shouldn't rely on
miracles happening and do our best to plan for what seem to
be reasonable eventualities. Of course, throughout all this,
we should remember that without YHVH's help, even the most
perfect planning will get us nowhere. ( seek counsel on legal
matters, etc. marriage counselor, guidance counselor)
Spiritual Exercise: Ask YHVH how you can prepare for the future
and be ready for the days ahead.
Question: Why do you think it is often hard to plan ahead?
There is a big temptation toward instant gratification, that is, to
'want it all and want it now.'
• However, a wise and spiritually oriented person will realize
that by giving up a little instant gratification, we'll get much
greater gratification in the end.
• How true? Advice to young men and women?
Question: YHVH guides a person in the way that person
wants to go. How do you understand this idea? It means that if
we truly focus on a goal and not let ourselves get trapped by
a pessimistic attitude, YHVH will help us get there, and go
beyond what we felt were our limits.
Question: "A wise man tries to see the future consequences
of his choices.", “What is the likely outcome of this action,
and is this something that I want to happen?" If so, go for it. If
not, think again. The future does often hold unexpected
surprises, and we can never know for sure if we are really
prepared. In the end, we must put our trust in YHVH that we
will be able to handle things that come our way.
- But YHVH wants us to also act responsibly and make
reasonable plans for what is likely to happen.
PRINCIPLE OF SOWING & REAPING
Question: Who do you think displays more faith, somebody
who plans for the future or one who leaves everything to
"chance?" Faith shouldn't be "blind."
- YHVH has given us minds in order that we should make
our lives meaningful and enjoyable. Part of this is making
the most reasonable plans we can.
- But when our plans don't turn out as we expect, we must
have faith and believe that YHVH made it happen that way
for a specific and good reason. Faith in YHVH in such a
situation would mean making the best of it, and not
complaining, because YHUH surely had a good reason for
what happened.
Question:
What, in your opinion, is the difference between
planning for the future and worrying about the
future?
- Planning is a positive act which indicates that
we are confident in ourselves and the world.
- Worry is a negative and paralyzing emotion
which wastes energy.
- When we worry, we often become paralyzed
with anxiety and do nothing;
- in this way we deny our responsibility to
improve the world. As it is said, "when we fail
to plan, we plan to fail."
Question:
How do you think a person can bring miracles
into his or her life?
*** YHVH treats us measure for measure
according to the way we choose to live. If we
live in a supernatural way - that is rise above
our natural human reactions, such as
refraining from taking revenge, gossiping and
so forth, YHVH will go beyond nature and
bring miraculous things into our lives. ***
Spiritual Exercise: Try to live your life in a way
that would please YHVH. Watch for the
miracles that come your way. (GOD BLESS
YOU JOKE WHEN ANGRY)
39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch has shown
Elohim 􀋃 ‫ְתֹוא‬you ‫א‬ ֶ‫־ת‬all of ‫ז‬ֹ‫תא‬this there is none so discreet
(discerning) and wise as you are: 40 ‫א‬ ַּ‫ת‬ ָ‫ה‬You will be over my
house and according to your word will all my people be ruled:
only in the throne will I be greater than you. 41 And Pharaoh
said to Joseph, I have set 􀋃 ‫ֹא‬‫ְת‬you over all the land of Egypt.
42 And took off Pharaoh ‫א‬ ֶ‫־ת‬his ring from his hand and gave
‫ֹא‬‫ת‬ ָ‫ה‬it (her) on hand of Joseph and dressed ‫ֹא‬‫ֹות‬him in
garments of fine linen and put a gold
chain around his neck;
Question: What did the ring contain?
Ans: The king’s ring contained the royal seal, which would
give Joseph the authority to seal decrees, as he desired.
Question: Was Joseph worthy of such rewards? Joseph well
deserved these honors, because of his virtuous life. The hands,
neck, and body that had refused to sin with Potiphar’s wife
were now adorned with the glorious signs of royalty.
Question: Joseph was very handsome but he focused on
the ways of YHVH and not his appearance. Who's more
beautiful: someone with a gorgeous face who acts
unkindly, or one with not very nice facial features but who
acts kindly?
- Real beauty isn't about the color of a person's eyes or the
shape of his nose. Someone can have the most gorgeous
face in the world and be hideously ugly if he acts cruelly to
others.
- GREEK CULTURE : WORSHIP BEAUTY is HOLY
- HEBRAIC CULTURE : HOLINESS IS BEAUTY
- On the other hand, someone who tries to do what's
good and right and cares about others is beautiful no
matter what his face looks like. Once we learn how to
see with our hearts and not with our eyes, we will
understand. *
- BEAUTY IS SKIN DEEP?
Question:
Does being spiritual mean pulling away from
anything physical or superficial, like trying to look
good?
Not at all. True spirituality is not about 'escaping'
from the physical -- nor indulging in it for its own
sake, but rather raising the physical up, by using it --
but always with an eye on how to connect it to
something higher .
- For instance, when eating a good meal, we should
sincerely have in mind to use the energy the food
gives us to do good deeds ( to do mitzvah),
- or in the case of looking good, we should view it as
an aspect of staying healthy, or as a way to make a
positive impression on those we would like to inspire
to improve their lives.

Gen 41:38 and Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find
another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?”
Gen 41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Since Elohim has
shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as
you. .....................Verse 40 Nobody will be greater
than Yoseph except Pharaoh:
Spiritual application:
Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted
Him ( ‫יהושע‬) and given Him the Name which is above
every name, Php 2:10 that at the Name of ‫יהושע‬every
knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on
earth, and of those under the earth,
Col 1:18 and He is the Head of the body, the
assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the
dead, that He might become the One who is first in
all.
John 5:26 “For as the Father possesses life in Himself,
so He gave also to the Son to possess life in
Himself, Joh 5:27 and He (YHWH) has given Him
( ‫יהושע‬) authority also to do judgment, because He is
the Son of Aḏam. John 5:30 “Of Myself I am unable to
do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is
righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the
desire of the Father who sent Me.
APPLICATION : We see Yoseph’s life been fulfilled in
Messiah and like Yoseph was born to protect his
brethren, are you doubting that ‫יהושע‬will protect you
from the world famine today? Are you ‫יהושע‬’ s
brethren? He says that you are, so you don’t have to
worry, for what you will eat or what you will wear, for
He will provide. This is the truth from the Torah.
Halleluyah!
Question: How is Joseph an archetypical foreshadowing of the
Messiah in the verse? Joseph, using his position of authority, began
preparing to save Egypt (and Israel) from famine at age 30, the same
age at which Yahshua began His ministry of preparing salvation for the
world. Joseph's brothers, in their attempt to destroy Joseph, actually set
up the conditions that would bring about their eventual temporal
salvation - that is, Joseph, by virtue of being sold, would become their
deliverer from the famine. Similarly, Yahshua, delivered into the
hands of his enemies was crucified and completed the atoning
sacrifice, becoming the Deliverer of all mankind from the bands of
death and hell.
-Joseph provided bread for Israel and saved them from physical
death by starvation, all without cost.
- Yeshua, the Bread of Life, did the same for all mankind, feeding
them the words of eternal life, as well as becoming their literal Savior.
*** Truly Joseph's story is one that teaches the truth that "all
things work together for good to them who love YHVH."
For this reason alone, the similarity of Joseph to Yahshua is
significant - one to be studied and taught. ***
Gen 41:40 “be over my house, you yourself, and at your
mouth all my people shall kiss –only in the throne I am
greater than you.” Gen 41:41 and Pharaoh said to Yosĕph,
“See, I have set you over all the land of Mitsrayim.” Gen
41:42 and Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand and put it
on Yosĕph’s hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine
linen and put a gold chain around his neck. Gen 41:43 and
he had him ride in the second chariot which he had.
And they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” And he
set him over all the land of Mitsrayim.
Spiritual application: Just compare the verse 43 with the
following.
Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him ( ‫יהושע‬)
and given Him the Name which is above every
name, Php 2:10 that at the Name of ‫יהושע‬every knee
should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and
of those under the earth,
Can you see the parallel between the natural
(Yoseph) and the spiritual ( ‫יהושע‬Messiah)?
Sha’ul told us in the book of Romans that we should
not be conformed to the world but transformed by the
renewing of our mind. The only process to be
renewed and transformed is to study the Torah and
pray to Aba ‫יהוה‬for revelation knowledge. The
renewing of our mind takes effort on our side.
APPLICATION:
*** The mind can only be renewed by removing the
old thoughts accumulated during past years and
replace with the Torah.
the book of Yasher was well known at this time, we read
in Yasher chapter 49: --- 28. Do you see this man
whom the king has chosen to be his second? all the
affairs of government shall be regulated by him, and he
that transgresses his orders, or that does not bow down
before him to the ground, shall die, for he rebels
against the king and his second. 29. and when the
heralds had ceased proclaiming, all the people of Egypt
bowed down to the ground before Joseph and said,
May the king live, also may his second live; and all the
inhabitants of Egypt bowed down along the road, and
when the heralds approached them, they bowed down,
and they rejoiced with all sorts of timbrels, mechol and
nebal before Joseph.
SEE ISAIAH 9:6 prophecy
JOSEPH HAD EVERYTHING:
Question: What is a healthy attitude to have about the things we
have? Our possessions, everything we have, are a gift from YHVH.
We should be grateful for them, use them for good purposes, and
even enjoy them.
- However, we should also be careful not to use them as a tool to
hurt others by making them feel jealous or inferior.
- When we act modestly with our possessions, we elevate
ourselves spiritually. We demonstrate that we are sensitive to
people's feelings and aware that our character and values,
and not our possessions are the most valuable things that
we own.
Question: Unfortunately, one of the messages that many people
absorb is that the more someone has, the more valuable he is as a
person. Of course this isn't true.
*** A person's true worth is derived from the fact that he is a
child of YHUH and enhanced by his good deeds and
character development.
(he who walks and no one follows? If people don’t like you they wont
follow you and will not listen to you. How true?
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son
is given; and the government is on His shoulder;
and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, The
Mighty El, The Prince of Peace, The one who
Fathered Everlasting life.
Isa 9:7 There is no end to the increase of His
government and of peace on the throne of David,
and on His kingdom, to order it, and to sustain it
with justice and with righteousness, from now and
forever. The zeal of YAHWEH of Hosts will do
this.
Gen 41:44 and Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I am Pharaoh,
and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or
foot in all the land of Mitsrayim.” Gen
41:45 and Pharaoh called Yosĕph’s name Zaphnath-
Paʽnĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the
daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On and Yosĕph went
out over all the land of Mitsrayim.
* Pharaoh called Yoseph “Zaphnah-Paneah:
Keil and Deltiztsch give following
interpretation: according to Rosellini and more recent
Egyptologists, to the Coptic P-sont-em-ph-anh,
i.e., sustentator vitae, support or sustainer of life, with
reference to the call entrusted to him by God.
Josephus in his writing "Antiquities of the
Jews” writes following in book: ii chapter 6:1:
JOSEPH was now grown up to thirty years of age, and
enjoyed great honours from the king, who called
him Psothom Phanech, out of regard to his prodigious
degree of wisdom; for that name denotes the
revealers of secrets. He also married a wife of very
high quality; for he married the daughter of
Petephres, (4) one of the priests of Heliopolis; she was
a virgin, and her name was Asenath
Verse 46, Yoseph enter his ministry like ‫יהושע‬at the age
of Thirty years old!
Gen 41:46 Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he
stood before Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim. And
Yosĕph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and
went throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
Question: How old was Joseph when his sons were born?
And Joseph's wife Asenath the daughter of Potiphera bare
him two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, and Joseph was
thirty-four years old when they were born.
- And the lads grew up and they went in his (Joseph’s) ways
and in his instructions, they did not deviate from the way
which their father taught them, either to the right or left.
- And YHVH was with the lads, and they grew up and had
understanding and skill in all wisdom and in all the affairs
of government, and all the king's officers and his great
men of the inhabitants of Egypt exalted the lads, and they
were brought up amongst the king's children. (Jasher)
- To be the only Hebrew in Egypt and to be married to a
woman raised in the idolatry of Egypt, yet to raise children
who remain the model after whom Hebrew parents bless
their children-“may Elohim make you like Ephraim and
Manasseh”- is no small privilege.

Spiritual explanation of the dream:
---- 47. “The seven years of plenty” represent the
beginning of Messiah ministry when believers from the
House of Yehudah and the House of Israel (gentiles)
turned back to the Torah during the first century. 49.
“much grain as the sand of the sea”, corn as the sand of
the sea! Think about who shall be like the sand of the
sea but only a remnant shall be saved.
Gen 32:12 “For You said, ‘I shall certainly do good to
you, and shall make your seed as the sand of the
sea, which are too numerous to count.’ ” (Elohim to
Ya’acov).
Isa 10:22 for though your people, O Yisra’ĕl, be as the
sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return –
a decisive end, overflowing with righteousness.
Hos 1:10 “Yet the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl shall
be as the sand of the sea,which is not measured nor
counted. And it shall be in the place where it was said to
them, ‘You are not My people,’ they shall be called, ‘You are
the sons of the living Ěl.’
Rom 9:27 And Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of Yisra’ĕl,
“Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the
sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved.
Rev 13:1 and I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a
beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten
horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads names
of blasphemy.
Rev 20:8 and he shall go out to lead the nations astray
which are in the four corners of the earth, Goḡ and Maḡoḡ, to
gather them together for battle, whose number is as the
sand of the sea. .......
“the sand of the sea” the Ruach gave me understanding
concerning the book of Revelation. The Torah is the source of
our Revelation not the other way round, through or by
the Ruach HaQodesh.
Revelation 13:1 and 20:8 who is like the sand of the sea? Are
they not the descendants ofAbraham, Itzahk and Ya’acov? Are
they not among the Christians assemblies
today?Yochanan write chapter 13 that he saw a beast coming
out of the “sea” when Yochanan“stood on the sand of the sea”.
Think about that. Who are this people? And who is the
beast? What is the sea?
Rev 17:1 and there came one of the seven angels which had
the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come
hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore
that sitteth upon many waters:Rev 17:15 and he saith unto
me, The waterswhich thou sawest, where the whore
sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,and
tongues.
When writing these verses by the hand of Yochanan, the Spirit
of ‫יהושע‬had the prophetYrmeyahu in mind speaking of Babylon:
Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in
treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy
covetousness.
Jer 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her;
take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed. Jer 51:9 We
would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her,
and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment
reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the
skies................
This is the first beast the one empowered by HaSatan verse 2
(dragon)
Revelation 20:8 who lead the people today, is it
not HaSatan (verse 7) leading Gog and Magog against those
whose number is as the sand of the sea? Now knowing who these
people are, can you see who the remnant are? Are you among the
remnant or are you among those who are as the sand of the sea?
Gen 41:47 and in the seven years of plenty the ground
brought forth generously. Gen 41:48 and he gathered all
the food of the seven years which were in the land of
Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities. He laid up in
every city the food of the fields which surrounded
them. Gen 41:49 Thus Yosĕph gathered very much
grain, as the sand of the sea, until he ceased counting,
for it was without number.
Verse 49, we can see the revelation behind the literal
text. “…much grain, as the sand of the sea…… it was
without number” This was the situation at Moshe’s time
when people had left Egypt as we can read:
Deu 10:22
Deut 10:22 “Your fathers went down to Mitsrayim with
seventy beings, and now ‫יהוה‬your Elohim has made
you as numerous as the stars of the heavens.
Deut 28:62 “And you shall be left with few
men (remnant), although you had become as
numerous as the stars of the heavens, because you
did not obey the voice of ‫יהוה‬your Elohim. ………
***This situation is the same today as it was
under Moshe. As we are coming closer to the end of
the age, believers are like the sand of the sea, but
only a remnant will be saved, because of the same
reason as it was with Moshe..............
50-53. Yospeh got children from Asenath. Let us first
look at Yoseph’s wife name“Asenath”...........
Keil and Delitzsch give us following information:
Asenath, Ἀσενέθ (lxx), possibly connected with the
name Neith, the Egyptian Pallas.Poti-
Phera, Πετεφρῆ (lxx), a Coptic name signifying ille qui
solis est, consecrated to the sun (φρη with the
aspirated article signifies the sun in
Memphitic). On was the popular name
for Heliopolis (Ἡλιούπολις, lxx), and according to Cyrill.
Alex. and Hos_5:8signifies the sun; whilst the name
upon the monuments is ta-Râ or pa-Râ, house of the
sun (Brugsch, Reisebericht, p. 50). From a very early
date there was a celebrated temple of the sun here,
with a learned priesthood, which held the first place
among the priests' colleges of Egypt (Herod. 2,
3; Hengst. pp. 32ff.).
This promotion of Joseph, from the position of a Hebrew
slave pining in prison to the highest post of honour in the
Egyptian kingdom, is perfectly conceivable, on the one hand,
from the great importance attached in ancient times to the
interpretation of dreams and to all occult science, especially
among the Egyptians, and on the other hand, from the
despotic form of government in the East; but the miraculous
power of God is to be seen in the fact, that God endowed
Joseph with the gift of infallible interpretation, and so ordered
the circumstances that this gift opened the way for him to
occupy that position in which he became the preserver, not of
Egypt alone, but of his own family also.
* And the same hand of God, by which he had been so highly
exalted after deep degradation, preserved him in his lofty post
of honor from sinking into the heathenism of Egypt;
although, by his alliance with the daughter of a priest of the
sun, the most distinguished caste in the land, he had fully
entered into the national associations and customs of the
land.
This is of course very interesting when we know
that nowadays, those pretending to
worship “Christ”, are followers of the same
Egyptian belief, the worship of the sun,
demonstrated in their different feast
like “christmas” and “easter” (isthar) and
their worship day the “sun-day” or “day of the
sun”, “valentine’s day”, “new year” and more.
*** Like Yoseph, Messiah ‫יהושע‬will have to go
to the spiritual Egypt to save the remnant of
those who will follow him in the Torah.
• Asenath is a picture of pagan nations
whereYoseph / ‫יהושע‬will bring the Torah.
Manasheh which means “forgetting”
Ephraim which means “fruitful”
Yoseph says that Elohim has made him to forget his father’s
house and caused him to be fruitful in the land of his
affliction!.......
*** We need to see the spiritual aspect which is found
in ‫יהושע‬Messiah.
The House of Israel (Ephraim and Manasheh)
are fruitful (many descendants) in the land of affliction (the
world today) and have forgotten their ancestors (Abraham,
Itzahk, Ya’acov, Yospeh, King David, Yehoshua)
Read: Hoshea 13; 1, 4, 6, 12, 12:8, 7:8-12. .....
13:1 c'dabar `ef'rayiM r'TaT naSa` hu` b'yiS'ra`al v
aye`'shaM baba,al vayamoT
“As Ephraim spake he lifted panic in Israel and he is being
guilty and in the Ba’al he is dying”.
The context of the verse is found is found in 1st King:18:17-40
Hos 13:4 Yet I am YHWH thy Elohim from the land of Egypt, and
thou shalt know no elohim but me: for there is no saviour beside
me. Hos 13:6 according to their pasture, so were they filled; they
were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they
forgotten me. Hos 13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his
sin is hid. Hos 12:8and Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have
found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none
iniquity in me that were sin. Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he hath mixed
himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos
7:9 strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea,
gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. Hos
7:10 and the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not
return to YHWH their Elohim, nor seek him for all this.
Hos 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to
Egypt, they go to Assyria. Hos 7:12 when they shall go, I will spread
my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the
heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
*** Remember Ephraim is the House of Israel, the Northern
Kingdom separate from the House of Yehudah.
Gen 41:50 and to Yosĕph were born two sons before
the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the
daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. Gen
41:51 and Yosĕph called the name of the first-born
Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my
toil and all my father’s house.”
Gen 41:52 and the name of the second he called
Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in
the land of my affliction.”
• Gen 41:53 and the seven years of plenty which were
in the land of Mitsrayim came to an end,
54-57.Here again we are going to see how the spiritual
and natural mix together.
As it was at Yoseph’s time it is today there is now
in the years 2015 since many years more and
more scarcity of food and people cry to “g-d”,
the “g-d” of this world they turn to the rulers
of the world for solution, like the Egyptians
turned to Pharaoh.
• Pharaoh told them to go to Yoseph and to
do whatever he wills say. ( see torah
teachings on shemitah by joseph dumond)
• People today have turned to the false
Messiah, the “Anti-messiah” the son of
perdition, only a remnant follow the true
Messiah, ‫יהושע‬of Nazareth, not “Jesus from
Rome”.
END TIME PROPHETIC CONNECTION
Genesis 41 we read about Pharaoh’s dream regarding the seven
years of plenty and seven years of famine.
God gave Joseph understanding of the vision: Egypt’s seven years of
plenty and seven years of famine form a template for our time.
- Egypt is a symbol of the worldly system.
- Egypt had seven years of Prophesied plenty. So have we.
- Then Egypt entered seven years of famine.
- During the second lean year Israel moved into the land of
Goshen, away from the cities. The Egyptians ran out of bread
and the money. The money failed! Our money will soon fail.
- The Egyptians bartered their livestock, which was their
remaining wealth. Then they sold their bodies and lands to
Joseph, so Pharaoh owned all the land and all the people.
Joseph moved all the people into the cities. And the Hebrews
ultimately became Pharaoh’s slaves. We will see the same
things.
The parallels with our time are too striking to miss.
History repeats itself.
Verse 57 we read that all countries came to Yoseph in Egypt
(world system) to buy corn (bread of life).
Is it not today so, that people from Africa, Asia, India and other world
countries want to take part of the world wealth. Some of the lowest
people sell themselves for a small loan to make dirty jobs,
* while the governments from all over the world come all together
to join the leadership of the UN (United Nations) the New World
Order, proclaimed by the leaders of the so called “powerful nations”.
Today the governments of almost all world nations are gathered
together in UNITED NATION Summit to find a "solution" for the
climate, what they say.
***This is "powder" in the eyes of blind people who have
forsaken the only true Elohim to follow the way of Satan. My
question is: What do you think bring this temperature change,
the Carbone as these so said scientist or the sins of the World?
If you know the answer which is obvious you will understand a lot.
* They try to stop temperature to rise, but with their system
promote, immorality, greed, homosexuality, war in the name of a
so call "peace"
Our current financial crisis will not be solved. Rich and
powerful men of the earth control the market and will oppress the
poor to the point of starvation. These conditions will result in war.
Many have warned the ever-increasing debt load of our current
monetary system is impossible to maintain and will soon fail.
Bible Prophecy has already established these events which are
now unfolding.
Then the people of the land will barter any items of value for
food, as the Egyptians bartered their valuable cattle for food.
When these valuables run out, the people of the world will sell
their land and souls to the rulers for food. The rulers of Egypt
transferred vast amounts of wealth from the people to the
government.
THE 29th of ELUL of SHEMITAH YEAR 2017 COULD BE THE
START OF FALLING OF WORLD FINANCIAL SYSTEM?
( SEE JOSEPH DUMOND BOOK SABBATICAL YEARS 2016-
2017)
Rich countries which are in endless debt e.g.
- France in 2009 now with 1 500 billions will reach the
amount of two thousand billions debt
- US are close to Ten trillions debt.
- Greece fails to honour its debt and can run
into Bankruptcy,
- Ireland as just call EU for help with a 80 billion bailout
Portugal is at the door and in spite of rejecting
newspapers assumptions should be the next knocking at
the EU for help Spain should follow soon,
- US will also be the nation falling in a shameful way soon
also and others countries even Arabs country
like Dubai as called his Neighbours for help to avoid
bankruptcy. *** Mammon is the G-d of this
World under the leadership of Satan. The only safe
food to find today is at ‫'יהושע‬s feet receiving the Torah
and be fed and safe.........
This is how Pharaoh owned Egypt and this is how the
antimessiah will gain power over the world. Some have
suggested that the antimessiah will be a very charismatic leader
with great ideas. I don’t think he will accomplish all that he does
because of his charisma or ideas. I think the world be in such
need that they will sell themselves to him.
This generation has been around since Israel was formed in
1948. How long can this generation of baby boomers last? It
appears that ominous things are coming our way. The days of
abundance are about to end. The famine will be very severe. The
world as we know it will change dramatically.
***Just as Joseph stood in his day and warned of what was
coming, God used him to preserve the House of Jacob. God has
promised us that we too will be saved in the tribulation of the
days coming. Like our ancestors, we will leave Egypt, endure
the Great Tribulation, and ultimately go to the promised land
(the Messianic Kingdom).
When do we leave? When does the Great Tribulation begin?
Answer: When the altar is shut down on the temple mount and
We are currently in the largest financial crisis of all
time. Financial crises cause wars. The world will be
stirred with the spirit of war.
Then wearied with war and facing financial ruin, the
peoples of the world will accept, yes, even beg for a
world government to control banking and bring in
lasting peace.
*** Brothers and sisters, now is the time to prepare
our souls and our land to withstand the coming
economic and money system failure. God has
graciously warned us ahead of time. Failure to heed
this warning will have dire consequences for body
and soul.

Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feast into mourning, and all your
songs into weeping; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and
baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning of an
only son, and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 Behold, the days
come, says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land;
not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the
Words of Jehovah. 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and
from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek
the Word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
*** Have you ever thought why there was a famine of the word?
May I suggest it was because the people did not support those
teaching them?
May I also suggest the people really did not believe and were only
going through the motions pretending as they used to do for one
hour on Sundays and flipping some loose change in the offering
basket?
And may I also suggest the people never truly repented and want
to serve Yehovah.
You and I are to serve Yehovah and do His will. Not your will be
done but His will be done.
TORAH AND PROPHECY PORTION
What is the Prophetic meaning of 7 year of famine?
What is the famine of the Word?
We read in the first two verses of Ruth some bizarre events and they
force us to stop and ask what is going on here?
Ruth 1:1 And it happened in the days when the judges ruled, there was
a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to
live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 And
the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi,
and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of
Bethlehem-judah. And they came to the fields of Moab and stayed
there.
***Why is there a famine in the land, which was supposed to be a land
of milk and honey? What happened?
*** We are told they are in the days of the judges with everyone doing
what was right in their own eyes.
Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man
did that which was right in his eyes.
*** First problem. We are also told there is a famine in the house of
bread, which is what Beth Lehem means.
The history of the judges is the cycle of oppression and then
deliverance followed by more sinning and then more oppression.
And our present generation today are no different.
Jdg 2:16 But Jehovah raised up judges who delivered them out of the
hand of those who spoiled them. 17 And yet they would not listen to
their judges, but they went lusting after other gods, and bowed
themselves to them. They turned quickly out of the way which their
fathers walked in, for they had obeyed the commandments of
Jehovah; these did not do so.
*** But read what the people at that time did after Joshua
died, unbelievable.
Jdg 2:8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah,
died, being a hundred and ten years old. ….And there arose
another generation after them who did not know Jehovah, nor
even the works which He had done for Israel. 11 And the sons of
Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served Baals. 12
And they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought
them out of the land of Egypt. And they followed other gods of the
gods of the people who were around them, and bowed
themselves to them, and provoked Jehovah to anger. 13 And they
Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel.
Every man did the right in his own eyes.
*** There is nothing new here. Today our society does
what is right in their own eyes.
What was evil before WW II is not evil today.
*** What changed? Our Morals have changed because
we now tolerate sin and as we were warned we now call
evil good and good evil.
*** It was the same in the time of the Judges.
When strong moral leaders ruled, the people lived in
peace. When immoral leaders ruled there were
consequences exactly as we have today.
- We have immoral/idolatrous leadership elected by an
immoral/idolatrous society of which you all are apart.
Your morality is tarnished because you also tolerate sin
(LAWLESSNESS).
( the torah must be restored to the Philippines)
And yet you are wrong because you hold on to your pagan roots. You mixed the seed of truth with
the seed of good and evil and you do not know the difference most of the time.
So you end up looking for teachers to prove you right instead of those
who teach the truth and tell you to repent and show you why.
You just read how the Levites helped the people to understand the Torah,
which many of you want and need.
Nehemiah then goes on to say something very profound.
Neh 13:10 And I saw that the portions of the Levites had not been given to
them; for the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each one
to his field. 11 And I contended with the rulers and said, Why is the house
of God forsaken? And I gathered them together and set them in their
place. 12 And all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine
and the oil into the treasuries.
*** The Levites were no longer able to teach because they had to
go and work their own land in order to survive. That means that
they did not have time to ‘sepher’ the word of Yehovah and draw
the needed conclusions to their teachings. It means their
teachings became like pabulum. There was no time to do the extra
study needed to find the meat teachings. It means the people were
not being taught the Torah on any levels and this is why they forgot
about the miracles of Moses.
It is no different today. ( JOSEPH DUMOND)
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and
tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the
glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of
grace and of truth.
*** We are also told that it was the Levites who were
to teach the people the Torah. To teach them how to
eat this Bread of Life.
2Chr 35:3 And he said to the Levites who taught all
Israel, who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in
the house which Solomon the son of David, king of
Israel, built. It shall not be a burden on your
shoulders. And serve Jehovah your God and His
people Israel,
.
Do you have teachers going from city to city teaching the word of
Yehovah?
We now go from the days of the kings to the days of Nehemiah and
again it is the Levites that are teaching the people and helping
them to understand the Torah.
Neh 8:7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai,
Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the
Levites, caused the people to understand the Law. And the
people were in their place. 8 And they read in the Book of the Law of God,
clearly. And they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.
9 And Nehemiah, the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites
who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah
your God. Do not mourn or weep. For all the people wept when they heard the
words of the Law.
*** Now today we all have come out of our pagan churches. Many of you
continue to hold on to your Christianity with its many false and wrong
teachings. You just add Torah observance to those traditions. You get mad
when people like me come along and show by the scriptures where you are
wrong and we tell you to repent. There is no way you could be wrong of
course, what were we thinking? So you curse us and belittle us as they did
the prophets of old.
They will write and say they do not have a farm and have no crops so they have
nothing to tithe. Others will write and say we have no temple so how do we bring
it to the Temple? And others still will write and say who are the Levites, and we
can’t know for sure who they are so how do we tithe?
*** If we had the Temple today, they would not send anything to it. If we knew who
were Levitical Priests were, they would still not send them tithes.
They can find 101 or more excuses why they will not help to support something
they both want and need in having teachers to teach them.
They will not support the Jewish rabbi because he does not believe in Jesus or
Yehshua. They do not support the Karaites for the same reason. They do not
support those who do believe in Yehshua because they can’t prove they are
Levites.
Because the people were not being taught the Torah, there
came a famine to Bethlehem and this is why Naomi and her
family left for Moab.
Yehovah said;
Num 18:20 And Jehovah said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land,
neither shall you have any part among them. I am your part and your inheritance
among the sons of Israel. 21 And behold, I have given the sons of Levi all the
tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, the service of
the tabernacle of the congregation.
Does this say only the crops or does it say ALL IN ISRAEL?
I have given the sons of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an
inheritance ( Article by Joseph DUMOND on sightedmoon.com)
In the past I have written against tithing to those who do not
support the temple work. I have not changed this position. Are
those who teach you the deeper levels of the Torah doing the
Temple work? If they are then you had better be supporting
them.
Are those teaching you, telling you not to keep the Sabbath nor
the Holy Days nor the Sabbatical years and if so are they doing
the Temple work? The answer is no. Anyone telling you, that
you do not have to keep the Sabbath or Holy Days or the
Sabbatical years is not doing the work of the Temple.
- Then why in the world are you supporting them?
- These people who ask for millions for their leer jets and
penthouses, you know are false teacher.
Those who do not teach you to obey the Commandments
including the Sabbatical years and the third tithe year;
- Why are you helping them lead others astray?
Amos 8:10 And I will turn your feast into mourning, and all your
songs into weeping; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and
baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning of an
only son, and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 Behold, the days
come, says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land;
not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the
Words of Jehovah. 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and
from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek
the Word of Jehovah, and shall not find it.
*** Have you ever thought why there was a famine of the word?
May I suggest it was because the people did not support those

May I also suggest the people really did not believe and were only
going through the motions pretending as they used to do for one

basket?
And may I also suggest the people never truly repented and want
to serve Yehovah.
You and I are to serve Yehovah and do His will. Not your will be
done but His will be done.
Gen 41:54 and the seven years of scarcity of food
began to come, as Yosĕph had said. And the scarcity of
food was in all lands, but in all the land of Mitsrayim
there was bread.
Gen 41:55 But when all the land of Mitsrayim hungered,
and the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, Pharaoh
said to all the Mitsrites, “Go to Yosĕph, do whatever
he says to you.”
Gen 41:56 and the scarcity of food was over all the
face of the earth, and Yosĕph opened all the
storehouses and sold to the Mitsrites. And the scarcity of
food was severe in the land of Mitsrayim.
Gen 41:57 and all the earth came to Yosĕph in
Mitsrayim to buy grain, because the scarcity of food
was severe in all the earth.
Chapter 42.
Now we are going to see Yoseph ( ‫יהושע‬Messiah) taking
care of his brethren, in the land of Egypt (world system).
We will see the two aspect of messiah,
●A). The loving and carrying one who love and take care
for his brethren
●B). The one who chastise, in order to bring back the
House of Ya’acov to repentance (T’shuvah).
Verse 1 Ya’acov (a picture of Elohim the Father) send his
children (full House of Israel) to Egypt (world system) to
buy corn (bread of life) so that they may live and not die!
*** See the spiritual meaning behind the P’shat.(literal)
meaning. The dead are those who have no spiritual life;
below some few examples of “dead” in the spiritual sense.
Do not mistake me, this spiritual dead lead to the final
death if it is not reversed by the life that is
in ‫יהושע‬Messiah.
Rom 4:19
Rom 4:19 and not having grown weak in belief/faith, he did not
consider his own body, already dead, being about a hundred
years old, and the deadness of Sarah’s womb,
Abraham’s body was spiritually dead. At this time he was one
hundred years old and we know that he will have other children
after Sarah died with Keturah.
Rom 6:7 For he who has died has been made right from
sin. Rom 6:11 So you also,reckon yourselves to be dead
indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah ‫יהושע‬our Master.
(to be dead to sin is to have no power to transgress the
Torah) Rom 7:6 But now we have been released from the
Torah, having died to what we were held by, so that we should
serve in newness of Spirit and not in oldness of letter.
Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive
together with Messiah – by favour you have been saved.
People who are not quickened by Messiah ‫יהושע‬are
considered to be “dead”, they have no substance
(the Ruach of ‫יהושע‬( in themselves to be raised from the dead
at the first resurrection.
Gen 42:1 and when Yaʽaqoḇ saw that there was grain in
Mitsrayim, Yaʽaqoḇ said to his sons, “Why do you look at each
other?” Gen 42:2 and he said, “See, I have heard that there is
grain in Mitsrayim. Go down to that place and buy for us there,
and let us live and not die.”
Gen 42:3 and Yosĕph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in
Mitsrayim.
Verse 3. Yoseph’s ten brethren. Ten is the number for the sum of
all number. Greg Killian writes:” Ten- The number designating a
complete whole – representing the whole direction
which Elohim exercises. * According to the book of Yasher they
went down during the twentieth year of Yospeh been in Egypt:
Twelve years spent between Potiphar's service and jails, seven
years during the time of harvest abundance and the beginning of
the Famine during the Twentieth year.
Testimony as the way; the word (dabar) has Ten Commandments. A testimony can be
good or bad. The knowledge of a good vs. evil message: Satan. Those that have the
testimony of ‫יהוה‬( those that know the way)”.
Verse 3……they went down……..An indication for lowing
themselves, the time has now come to bow down before
Yoseph. Benjamin does not go at first! We are going to try to
understand why later.
Gen 42:4 but Yaʽaqoḇ did not send Yosĕph’s brother Binyamin with
his brothers, for he said, “Lest some harm come to him.”
Gen 42:5 and the sons of Yisra’ĕl went to buy grain among those who
journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kenaʽan.
Gen 42:6 and Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he was the
one who sold to all the people of the land. And Yosĕph’s brothers
came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.
*** Yoseph ruled over Mitzrayim like ‫יהושע‬rule over
the all world, “and Yoseph’s brothers came and
bowed down before him with their faces to the
earth”. Do you rememberYoseph’s dream? Yoseph in Breshit 37
had two dreams. The first we read that only his brother’s sheaves
bowed down to his sheaf (verse 7) this is Ya’acov’s children first
coming to Egypt. .........
Gen 37:5 and Yosĕph dreamed a dream, and told it to his
brothers. So they hated him even more. Gen 37:6 and he said
to them, “Please listen to this dream which I have
dreamed: Gen 37:7 “See, we were binding sheaves in the
midst of the field, and see, my sheaf rose up and also stood up.
And see, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down
to my sheaf.” Gen 37:8 and his brothers said to him, “Shall
you indeed reign over us? Shall you indeed rule over us?” So
they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Back to the today’s Parasha.
Gen 42:7 and Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognised
them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to
them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you come from?”
And they said, “From the land of Kenaʽan to buy food.”
Gen 42:8 so Yosĕph recognised his brothers, but they did not
recognise him.
7-8 Read: ---- Joh 7:8
JohN 7:8 “You go up to this festival. I am not yet going up to
this festival, for My time has not yet been filled.”
Joh 7:9 and having said this to them, He stayed in Galil.
Joh 7:10 but when His brothers had gone up to the festival,
then He also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
Joh 7:11 The Yehuḏim, therefore, were seeking Him at the
festival, and said, “Where is He?”
Gen 42:9 And Yosĕph remembered the dreams which he had
dreamed about them, and said to them, “You are spies! You
have come to see the nakedness of the land!”
10-17.
* Time of testing has come for Yoseph’s brethren, for three
days. Three is also a divine number which also
demonstrate completion of beginning, middle and end, or
past, present and future, or thoughts, words and deeds.
The third day is the time of salvation,
the “Millennium” .................
Question:
Hosea 6:1 "Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has
torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will
bandage us.
Hos 6:2 "He will revive us after two days; He will raise
us up on the third day, That we may live before Him.
Question: * Who will bow down to ‫יהושע‬when he comes
back, are not all of the House ofYa'acov to bow down
before Him? And not only them but the all world!
‫יהוה‬gave this dreams to Yoseph so that he could remember
when time has come that it is ‫יהוה‬' will and to reveal what will
be with our Master ‫יהושע‬, no coincidence.
For testing read:
Pro 3:11 My son, do not despise the discipline of ‫יהוה‬, and
do not loathe His reproof;
Pro 3:12 for whom ‫יהוה‬loves He reproves, as a father the
son whom he delights in

“ Those who also to whom He revealed Himself while alive
after He had suffered. With numerous signs for forty days He
was being seen by them, and He spoke concerning the
Kingdom of YAHWEH. And while He ate bread with them, He
charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to await the
promise of the Father, Which you heard of Me; for John
indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy
Spirit not many days after. Then, indeed, coming together
they questioned Him, saying, Master, do You restore the

says the Lord GOD, "It is not for your sake, O house of
Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name,
which you have profaned among the nations where you
went.
Eze 36:23 "I will vindicate the holiness of My great name
which has been profaned among the nations, which you
have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know
that I am the LORD," declares the Lord GOD, "when I
prove Myself holy among you in their sight.

Verse 15 Yoseph requires of his brethren that they
bring Benjamin, his brother from Rahel (Rachel) their
common mother.
Benjamin is the only one, not having been born in the
House of Laban the pagan and idolater uncle, but on the
way back to Canaan.
Benjamin means “son of the right hand”.
The right side is the side of “mercy”.
Benjamin was later after the splitting of the kingdom into
two Houses, to be joined to the House of Yahudah (1
King 12:18-21, 2nd Chronicle 11:12, Roman 11:1) .
1Ki 12:18 and when Sovereign Reḥaḇʽam sent Aḏoram, who
was over the compulsory labour, all Yisra’ĕl stoned him with
stones, and he died. And Sovereign Reḥaḇʽam hastily
mounted his chariot to flee to Yerushalayim. 1Ki 12:19 Thus
Yisra’ĕl revolted against the house of Dawiḏ to this day. 1Ki
12:20
and it came to be when all Yisra’ĕl heard that Yeroḇʽam had
come back, they sent for him and called him to the
congregation, and set him up to reign over all Yisra’ĕl. There
was none who followed the house of Dawiḏ, except the
tribe of Yehuḏah only.
1Ki 12:21 and Reḥaḇʽam came to Yerushalayim, and he
assembled all the house of Yehuḏah with the tribe of
Binyamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen brave
men, to fight against the house of Yisra’ĕl, to bring back the
reign to Reḥaḇʽam son of Shelomoh.
2Ch 11:12 and shields and spears in every city, and made
them very strong. ThusYehuḏah and Binyamin were his .
Rom 11:1 I say then, has Elohim rejected His people? Let it
not be! For I also am a Yisra’ĕlite, of the seed of Aḇraham,
of the tribe of Binyamin...............
* Today, Benjamites are also considered to
be “Jews” and we are going to see that
Yoseph (Messiah) will make himself known to his
brethren first through Benjamin.
• Could it be that today many from the so
called “Jews” having turned to Messiah are
those “Benjamin” - the - First “Jews” having
recognize Messiah ‫יהושע‬) Yoseph),
• while those of Yoseph’s House (Ephraim) will be
encouraged to walk in the Torah through their
examples?..........
Gen 42:10 and they said to him, “No, my master, but your
servants have come to buy food. Gen 42:11 “We are all one
man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.”
Gen 42:12 But he said to them, “No, but you have come to
see the nakedness of the land.” Gen 42:13
Gen 42:13 And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the
sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And see, the youngest is
with our father today, and one is no more.” Gen 42:14 And Yosĕph
said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’
Gen 42:15 “By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh,
you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother
comes here. Gen 42:16 “Send one of you, and let him bring your
brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven
to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of
Pharaoh, you are spies!”
Gen 42:17 and he put them all together in prison for three
days. Gen 42:18 Now Yosĕph said to them the third day, “Do
this and live, for I fear Elohim: ----- 19-22. Beginning of
repentance:
Hos 5:15 “I shall go, I shall return to My place, until they
confess their guilt and seek My face, in their distress diligently
search for Me, and say,
Hos 6:1 ‘Come, and let us turn back to ‫יהוה‬. For He has torn but
He does heal us, He has stricken but He binds us up ………
Verse 21: Gen 42:21 And they said to each other, “Truly, we are
guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life
when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this
distress has come upon us.”
Let us see something hidden in the sod in verse 21:
Jeremiah 30: 7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it
is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of
it.
Here the word for "distress” and for "trouble" is the Hebrew
word:
Storng's #HH6869 ‫ה‬ ָ‫ר‬ָ‫צ‬tsarah (tsaw-raw') n-f.
1. tightness (i.e. figuratively, trouble)
2. transitively, a female rival
[feminine of H6862]
KJV: adversary, adversity, affliction, anguish,
distress, tribulation, trouble.
Root(s): H6862
Now let us compare with the words of Yeshua:
Matt.7: 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate,
and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many
there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which
leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Narrow: Strong's G2346 θλίβω thlibo (thlee'-bo) v.
1. to crowd
{literally or figuratively}
[akin to the base of G5147]
KJV: afflict, narrow, throng, suffer tribulation, trouble
*** Yeshua is saying in essence, that those who want to
enter the gate, will have to go through tribulation , which
is the same word in Hebrew.
What a great revelation! Yehowah speaks the end for the
Beginning.
Verse 25 Yoseph (Messiah) fill their sack. He gives food
like Messiah gives food to his brethren.....
We read something interesting from the book
of Yasher concerning the intention ofYoseph’s brethren in the
chapter 51,...
6. and whilst the sons of Jacob were going on the road, they
repented of what they had done to Joseph, and they spoke
to each other, saying, We know that our brother Joseph went
down to Egypt, and now we will seek him where we go, and
if we find him we will take him from his master for a
ransom, and if not, by force, and we will die for him. 7. And
the sons of Jacob agreed to this thing and strengthened
themselves on account of Joseph, to deliver him from the hand
of his master, and the sons of Jacob went to Egypt; and when
they came near to Egypt they separated from each other, and
they came through ten gates of Egypt, and the gate keepers
wrote their names on that day, and brought them to Joseph in
the evening.
Yoseph knew of the coming of his brethren because he
had put gate keepers over the all entrance “doors” in
Egypt, and the gate keepers were required to write the
name of every man and his family members before he
could enter Egypt.
When I read what Yoseph did, it is amazing what we can
see today in our countries with control all for the so called
“wellbeing” of citizens from this countries.
This is really the work of the Anti-Messiah. Today, you
cannot enter legally in Europe if you are not registered and
fill all required documents from the secular governments.
The new passports are digital and no way to fake them.
Gen 42:19 “If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be
confined to your prison house, and you, go, bring grain for the
scarcity of food of your houses.
Gen 42:20“And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your
words be confirmed, and you do not die.” And so they did. Gen
42:21
Gen 42:21 and they said to each other, “Truly, we are guilty
concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when
he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this
distress has come upon us.”
Gen 42:22 and Re’uḇĕn answered them, saying, “Did I not
speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you
would not listen? And see, his blood is now required of
us.” Gen 42:23 and they did not know that Yosĕph understood
them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. Gen
42:24 and he turned himself away from them and wept, but
came back to them and spoke to them. And he took Shimʽon
from them and bound him before their eyes. Gen
42:25 And Yosĕph commanded and they filled their sacks
with grain, also to put back every man’s silver to his sack,
and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was
done for them. Gen 42:26
Gen 42:26 so they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from
there. Gen 42:27and as one of them opened his sack to give his
donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was
in the mouth of his sack! Gen 42:28 and he said to his brothers, “My
silver has been returned, and there it is, in my sack!” And their hearts
sank and they were afraid, saying to each other, “What is this that
Elohim has done to us?”
29-38.We have seen that Yoseph (Messiah) gave back all gift to
his brethren and gave them food. This is what ‫יהושע‬has done
for us and for his brethren from the house ofYehudah.
Free gift, not by work for no man can give ransom for his own
soul. * We remember that the two dreams represent the two
coming of Messiah.
The first time they will not recognize him and Benjamin is not
with them! This is very important because we know that it is
through Benjamin, Yoseph’s brother that they will be able to
recognize him. ** Can you see that Yoseph in spite of having
been sold by his brethren fed them and wait patiently, because
Benjamin was not there to receive their repentance?

Miketz: Restoration of Israel, End Time Prophecies of Joseph

  • 1. 1
  • 2.
  • 3.
  • 5.
  • 6.
  • 7.
  • 8. The story of Joseph and his brothers reveals a pattern of one of the central themes of the Torah: • Sin • Punishment/Discipline • Teshuva (Repentance) • Redemption All of these components operate within the intended final goal of family unity. When the brothers sin, it goes against this goal; and it is to this goal that they will all return upon repentance. This pattern began in the Garden and cycles and recycles until we get to the last pages of Revelation. For this reason, there is much for us to learn in our story about Joseph that will help us Mikeitz– at the end. In fact, end times are exactly where our Torah parasha points us: Bereshith 41:1 Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river. 8
  • 9. What is the point of Yosef’s lengthy story? Repentance, reconciliation, and family unity. What did the brothers need to repent of? The sin of “selling” a “brother” is one of the more serious sins and according to the Torah, worthy of death: Devarim 24:7 " If a man is found kidnapping a soul of his brother of the children of Israel, and mistreats him or sells him, then that kidnapper shall die; and you shall put away the evil from among you. “Selling” Yosef is connected with the 1st sin listed as a cause for the wrath of YHVH upon Israel: Amos 2:6 Thus says YHVH: "For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn away its punishment, because they sell the righteous for silver… Yeshua also was sold by His brethren for “silver”, resulting in “bloodguilt” which YHVH promises will be “pardoned”: Joel 3:21 "Their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, I will pardon…. 9
  • 10. Thus Yosef understands the need to send his brothers on a journey of repentance. Their awful act – the sale of a brother – was a sin that had the potential to haunt the family for generations. Yosef desired to bring repentance and unity to the family; and although he was not spoken to directly by the Father, through his dreams he understood the authority he was given. A wise Yosef knew that one shows full repentance by facing the same situation in which one sinned initially and this time, showing restraint. So Yosef places his brothers in situations whereby they must choose between themselves and their younger brother, now known as their father’s favorite. Yosef’s objective then, is to lure his brother Benyamin to Egypt and thereby expose the hearts of his brothers. 10
  • 11. “Our parsha MIKETZ traces the successive stages in which the snare was laid to force Jacob and his Twelve Sons to follow Joseph down into exile in Egypt in preparation for the ultimate redemption of the Children of Israel years later on that same date. The net is artfully prepared by Joseph, who alone of all the sons of Jacob had the power to stand in the House of Pharaoh. Joseph is the archetype of the Tzaddik who enables us to survive in This World. Having been drawn down to Egypt by Joseph, the Children of Israel are eventually redeemed by Moses, who, having been brought up in the House of Pharaoh, had the power to stand there. Moses is integrally linked with Joseph, and thus Moses ‘took the bones (the essence) of Joseph with him’ up out of Egypt. Moses is the Tzaddik who teaches us the path leading through the wilderness of This World to the Land of the Living -- the Land of Israel.” 11
  • 13. The “oppressor” is Pharaoh, the King of Mitzrayim. “Mitzrayim”, means “constriction” and “bondage”. “Mitzrayim” was also the third son of Ham. The scriptural references to Ham‟s descendants from B’reshith Chapter 10, show that they have come to represent bondage and sexual sin in the world. The Land of Egypt became the “stronghold” of Mitzrayim (constriction and bondage) and has, from the time of Avraham until Moshe, tried to “uncover the nakedness” of Yisra‟el. It was Pharaoh who kidnapped Sarah, in order to pollute Avraham‟s genealogy. It took what B’reshith 12:17 describes as “great plagues” to force Pharaoh into releasing her. And, it was Pharaoh who enslaved and brutalized B‟nei Yisra‟el, and killed their male children, at the time of Moshe‟s birth.
  • 14. Torah is a progressive revelation we go from the concealed to the revealed. The world today cannot understand because for most of the readers, the Torah is just a book with a literal meaning and remain conceal to them. Have you not heard people saying: “the bible is only a story from people” or even from Christians: “the bible is the story of the ancestors”. This statement is true, - but the purpose of ‫יהוה‬when making Moshe record the Torah was not only to make a “record” from many events from the beginning (B’reshit), but to reveal Messiah, in order that every man’s mouth be shut and ‫יהוה‬’ s people build their faith in the Torah and not in the doctrines of men! Shaul says:" faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of Elohim” (Rom.10:17). - The word of Elohim is the Torah! ‫יהוה‬says through the prophet Yeshayahu (Isaiah) in chapter 46:9-10 that He speaks the end from the beginning.
  • 15. Sh’lomoh write in Kohelet (Ecclesiastes) 1:9 “ What has been is what shall be, what has been done is what shall be done, and there is no new matter under the sun.” *** In other words if you want to know the end, just study the beginning. We cannot understand the book of Revelation if we reject the study of Torah. - We can already see Messiah in the first nineteen verses of B’reshit chapter one. Don’t mistake me, not in the literal text, we will have to go in the “sod”(mystery) going through the “remez” and “drash” levels. - *** Yoseph in the “remez” (hint) and “sod” (hidden or mystery) is a picture of ‫יהושע‬, like Yoseph beloved of his father and we are going to see the numerous parallel in the “parasha”. 41:1. “….at the end of two years’ time”.
  • 16. Torah is a progressive revelation we go from the concealed to the revealed. The world today cannot understand because for most of the readers, the Torah is just a book with a literal meaning and remain conceal to them. - We have now trained ourselves to read the different “Parsha” in the four levels of the “Pardes” in order to see what ‫יהוה‬has prepared for those who seek him in His word. ‫יהושע‬says in Mattityahu 7:7 “seek and you shall find”. King David writes in Psalm 25:” The secret (sod) of ‫יהוה‬is for them that fear him”....... The Hebrew word for “fear” is Strong’s # H3373 ‫ירא‬ yârê' yaw-ray' From H3372; fearing; morally reverent: - afraid, fear (-full)................ We all know that “the fear of ‫יהוה‬is the beginning of wisdom” (Prov. 9:10), and it’s also the open door for knowledge (da’at) Prov.1:7
  • 17. We are going to scrutinize Yoseph’s life in the light of the coming Messiah and see the parallels between both of them. Have you not heard people saying: “the bible is only a story from people” or even from Christians: “the bible is the story of the ancestors”. - This statement is true, but the purpose of ‫יהוה‬when making Moshe record the Torah was not only to make a “record” from many events from the beginning (B’reshit), but to reveal Messiah, in order that every man’s mouth be shut and ‫יהוה‬’ s people build their faith in the Torah and not in the doctrines of men! Shaul says:" - faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of Elohim” (Rom.10:17). The word of Elohim is the Torah! ‫יהוה‬says through the prophet Yeshayahu(Isaiah) in chap. 46:9-10 that YHVH speaks the end from the beginning.
  • 18.
  • 19. Parsah “Miketz” and follow Yoseph tribulation in Egypt. The word "Tribulation" comes from the Latin word “tribulum” which was an instrument used to separate the corn wheat from its husk, before it could be used for making bread. The husk represents the impurity of life which covers each of us, and must be removed. - When ‫יהוה‬bring us through life’s tribulation it is to remove this husk (impurities) and make us vessels of gold, refined and pure. The context: First Pharaoh is here a picture of “G-d on earth", indeed Pharaoh was many time called “g-d”. Egypt in the Torah is a microcosm of the world today. To avoid mistake, we need to understand that Pharaoh from Yoseph’s time is not the same Pharaoh from Moshe’s time; and so other Pharaoh, other situation. - In this context Pharaoh is a metaphor for “God on earth”.
  • 20. The context of the Torah is I say it again a shadow of what we see today. Egypt (Mitzrayim) was the microcosm of what will happen to Ya’acov’s descendants after Messiah departure to the Father. Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holyday, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: Col 2:17 which are a shadow of things to come; but the body of the Messiah. *** When you see the shadow of something you are close to the image, - - shadow and image are both one, - no shadow without the image!
  • 21.
  • 22.
  • 23. Don't think that Sha'ul here is writing that these things are not important, he just make clear against the popular belief at this time that all this thinks where shadow and not the full image of things to come. *** Meat, drink, holiday (feast of ‫,)יהוה‬ new moon Shabbat are all pointing to things to be reveal in Messiah ‫יהושע‬ ( Colossians 2:16-17) *** the bible refers to this “YHVH’s FEAST” or My Appointed Times ( moedim) Lev.23 YHVH pinpointed times on the calendar when His people could set time apart with HIM, away fr. The normal business in life. *** the 2nd word used in Scripture is MIKRAH, w/c is a holy convocation, a sacred assembly, or a rehearsal of GOD’s PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE ACTS. As we study these celebrations, we will see that each one is remembering or foreshadowing an aspect of MESSIAH’s ministry. They represent HIS SACRIFICE,RESURRECTION, THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE BRIDE’S PREPAREDNESS FOR THE RAPTURE, & d MESSIAH’S RETURN TO EARTH to establish HIS KINGDOM and to TABERNACLE with US forever. Eze. 43:7
  • 24.
  • 25.
  • 26. When you see the shadow of something you are close to the image, shadow and image are both one, no shadow without the image! Sha'ul wrote this letter at the time when the "world" was under the pagan Roman control and his system of worship that had great influence on people. Before that the Greek had already spoiled the mind of the people. Further this letter like all other letter are not written to common people but here to the believers in ‫יהושע‬living in Colossae . Greeks also indulged in schools of logic and philosophy (wisdom of man) and their thinking spread in the Roman world of this days and today in the all world. I remind you that in college and university Greek Philosopher and others have a great audience (listeners). Sha'ul write: " Let no man therefore judge………………… but the body of the Messiah.. In other words: "don't let pagans outside the Torah tell you what is good for you". *** Christians in their lack of understanding use these verses to promote lawlessness.
  • 27. 41:1. “….at the end of two years’ time”. It looks that we also today find ourselves in the same situation at the end of two full years, or two thousand years when we consider that one day equals one thousand years (Psalm 90:4). Today HaSatan the g-d of this world (spiritual entity of Pharaoh) try to build his own Kingdom but as it was with Pharaoh, ‫יהוה‬will deliver His people from his hand at Messiah Second Advent, the same as it was withYoseph. Yoseph is a picture of ‫יהושע‬who came to save his brethren in the midst of a pagan system, *** born as a man, he was rejected of his brethren and was raised at the right hand of Pharaoh! Can you see the parallel with ‫יהושע‬? Joh 1:11 He ( ‫יהושע‬) came to His own, and His own did not receive Him.
  • 28. *** In this Parsha, we are going to see how ‫יהוה‬will turn Egypt (the world system) over toYoseph (the saviour of his brethren) a shadow of what will soon become reality for you and me. Gen 41:1 and it came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by the river, Gen 41:2 and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, Gen 41:3 then saw seven other cows coming up after them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river. Gen 41:4 and the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
  • 29. Gen 41:5 and he slept and dreamed a second time and saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good, Gen 41:6 and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the east wind, coming up after them. Gen 41:7 and the seven lean heads swallowed the seven plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream. Gen 41:8 and it came to be in the morning that his spirit was moved, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh. The book of Yasher explains that Pharaoh tried to get the interpretation through his magicians and they were not able, but to give their own interpretation as we can see today similarity with the “false prophets” of the world.
  • 30. 30
  • 31. Do my dreams having any special meaning? How can I know? BEREANS.org Daniel and Joseph interpreted dreams. Paul was directed at least once by a dream. Peter appeared to have a dream during an early afternoon nap. When one reads the Bible, it seems quite natural to assume that dreams have a purpose. Depending upon your faith background, you may consider your dreams valuable insights, or not. But do my (or your) dreams mean anything really? How do we decide if our dreams are messages from G-d, or simply too much (kosher) pizza the night before? Since I do not remember most of my dreams, I am not a good test case. I do know what Scripture teaches about the negative side of dreams though..
  • 32. When HaShem your G-d cuts off from before you the nations which you go to dispossess, and you displace them and dwell in their land, take heed to yourself that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed from before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, "How did these nations serve their gods? I also will do likewise." You shall not worship HaShem your G-d in that way; for every abomination to HaShem which He hates they have done to their gods; for they burn even their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it. Deuteronomy 12:29-13:4
  • 33. If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, "Let us go after other gods" - which you have not known - "and let us serve them," you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for HaShem your G-d is testing you to know whether you love HaShem your G-d with all your heart and with all your soul. You shall walk after HaShem your G-d and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him. Deuteronomy 12:29-13:4
  • 34. There are a few things that this passage can teach us about idolatry, fearing HaShem, and dreams. Worshipping HaShem in the manner of pagans, is idolatry *** The definition of idolatry is the opposite of, "Whatever I command you, be careful to observe it; you shall not add to it nor take away from it." *** Signs and dreams can appear valid, yet if they contradict the Torah, they are a test and we should not follow them. The definition of fearing G-d is, "You shall walk after HaShem your G-d and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him." *** Are my dreams trying to tell me something? Possibly. But if they lead me away from the Torah, they are a test... a test as to whether I will walk after HaShem, or engage in idolatry. *
  • 35. But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so, falling down on his face, he will worship G-d and report that G-d is truly among you. 1Corinthians 14:24-25 *** The purest prophecy is simply to declare what HaShem has already spoken in His word, His Torah. Parashat Miketz - 'At the end' (Genesis 41:1- 44:17)
  • 36. The Torah has the answer to the question that every man and women of G-d has asked, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" Ah, HaShem loves this question when asked by one of His own because He loves to tell you the answer. “ It is about miketz. It is about revealing what someone is "made of."
  • 37. The first place we read of miketz is in Genesis 4:3: And in the process of time [miketz] it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to HaShem. Genesis 4:3 And G-d said unto Noah, The end [miketz] of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth. Genesis 6:13 And it came to pass at the end [miketz] of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made: Genesis 8:6
  • 38. You can see that miketz is used to define the end of a period of time. What time? - In all ten instances of the word miketz used in the Torah, each defines the end of a time of testing. - The Master Assayer has placed one of His creations into a crucible, and revealed the purity or the dross. In the case of Cain, he failed that test. Dross was all of what was left. In the case of the generation of the Flood, only eight survived - the rest, the dross, were swept away. In the case of Noah, he and his family survived the test.
  • 39. Miketz is more than simply the end point to a period of testing. Lest we begin to think that these men and women are merely mice placed within a maze to test their abilities, we need to always remember what Genesis 20:23 says, and then implies, "... the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him"... but G-d did not.
  • 40. Miketz is more than simply the end point to a period of testing. Lest we begin to think that these men and women are merely mice placed within a maze to test their abilities, we need to always remember what Genesis 20:23 says, and then implies, "... the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him"... but G-d did not. Remember the promises that HaShem made to Abraham? A Seed, a Land, a Blessing? Remember how He told him that his descendants would be strangers in a foreign land? Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions." Genesis 15:13-14 *** Joseph is a part of the plan
  • 41. Joseph is a part of the plan. All the awful things that have happened so far in Joseph's life have happened because there was a plan, and HaShem had decreed Joseph's role. Surely, this miketz [at the end] is the end of Joseph's trial that serves a part of HaShem's plan of redemption. But that is only one level, there is something far more personal. This trial was for Joseph. It was not a trial to take one of dubious character, and improve him - although difficult things teach important lessons. - No, beloved, this miketz marks the end of Joseph's trial of character revelation. In all the years that precede our parasha, we are given evidence of the consistency of Joseph's character. In all the horrible circumstances, Joseph is exemplary. It is now time for finishing the story. This week's portion tells us in plain and unmistakable terms that Joseph's descent into Egypt was not by accident, or "bad luck" - and neither is his meteoric rise. It is by design. *** The G-d of the Universe did not forget Joseph, and whether he was in the dark pit, or the cruel prison - or on the throne of Egypt... HaShem was with him.
  • 42. KING DAVID’S ADVICE ON SURVIVING TRIALS Psalm 119:92 If Your law/torah had not been my delight, Then I would have perished in my affliction. Psa 119:93 I will never forget Your precepts, For by them You have revived me. Psa 119:94 I am Yours, save me; For I have sought Your precepts. Psa 119:92 Kundi ang kautusan mo'y naging aking kaaliwan, namatay nga sana ako sa aking kadalamhatian. Psa 119:93 Hindi ko kalilimutan kailan man ang mga tuntunin mo; sapagka't sa pamamagitan ng mga yaon ay binuhay mo ako. Psa 119:94 Ako'y iyo, iligtas mo ako, sapagka't aking hinanap ang mga tuntunin mo,
  • 43. Beloved, there is a miketz for each of us. If you follow the footsteps of Yeshua, if you follow Him in obedience to HaShem's Torah, then you are being tested. Like Joseph, you may have reason to feel alone. The very reason why you are shunned may be because you have chosen to take HaShem at His Word. - Fellow believers may have called you a heretic. - Family members may roll their eyes when you speak of the commandments of the Almighty. - If you are not Jewish, friends may call you "Jew wannabe" behind your back. If you are Jewish, friends may wonder why you can't seem to come out from "under the old law." Some may snicker at your tzitzit, or make fun of your observance of the commandments. - Maybe they call you a legalist, or worse, "a Pharisee" (personally, I like that one - I am honored to be named among men like Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus, and Paul). - Maybe they think your keeping and honoring the Shabbat is dangerous.
  • 44. Maybe it is for some other reason that you find yourself like Joseph, in circumstances that are dark and lonely because you have been faithful to your Master. Beloved, this week's parasha holds hope for you. Joseph is your model, and his life is evidence that although the butler may have forgotten, HaShem does not. You are not alone. HaShem put you there, and in due time, the miketz will come, and everyone will know the truth: you are not alone! Like Joseph, continue to live the life of Torah, the life of Messiah, wherever you are and in whatever circumstances you find yourself. You are a part of the plan. HaShem remembers, and He pays special attention to those who suffer wrongfully for His righteousness' sake.
  • 45. As you study this week's parasha, rejoice in the fact that Joseph is exalted. He is not only a marvelous example for all those who desire to live faithfully to G-d - he is a pre-figure of our Messiah. Yeshua too was alone, and mistreated because of His faithfulness; and yet one day He will sit on His throne in Jerusalem and every knee will bow to Him. Even so, come quickly HaShem Yeshua. Like Joseph, the group we were discussing had an accusation leveled against them. They were criticized for the very reason that they seek to honor HaShem not only with their lips, and their hidden thoughts, but expressed in loving obedience to His Torah. How ironic! Joseph was imprisoned wrongly because of his faithfulness to his slave master Potiphar. I was encouraged as I considered this, because I remembered that there is a blessing that accompanies those who find themselves persecuted because they love the words of HaShem. You are not alone, beloved.
  • 46. You are not alone, beloved. How blessed are those who are persecuted because they pursue righteousness! for the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs. How blessed you are when people insult you and persecute you and tell all kinds of vicious lies about you because you follow me! Rejoice, be glad, because your reward in heaven is great - they persecuted the prophets before you in the same way. Matthew 5:10-11 It is my prayer that I am not persecuted for my own failings - but for HaShem's righteousness sake. It is my prayer for you as well. There is a miketz.
  • 47. At the end of two years, .. (Genesis 41:1 CJB) Our parsha begins by telling us; “Va y‟hee miketz sh‟nachim”. This literally translates; “It was the end of two years of days..” “two years of days”, when we read about the life of Avraham and Sarah, Torah referred to them, in the Hebrew, as “walking in their days” and that “their years were full of days”. “Hebrewism” refers to the fact that they occupied or filled their days. - Yoseph, didn’t just mark time in prison; he served YHVH and literally “fulfilled” his days in prison. Joseph had a decision to make: Was he going to live and rest in the knowledge and understanding that ALL was in YHVH’s care or take matters into his own hands? - Joseph chose wisely. He chose to grow with the situation of hardships and trials and allow his Heavenly Father to guide, correct and mould him into the image and destiny YHVH purposed for his life. Letting go of self (earthly realm) until only YHVH existed (heavenly realm). Prophetic symbolism: Two years = 2000 years before Yeshua will raise us up so that we can rule and reign with Him. 47
  • 48. In this Parsha, we are going to see how ‫יהוה‬will turn Egypt (the world system) over toYoseph (the saviour of his brethren) a shadow of what will soon become reality for you and me. Gen 41:1 and it came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by the river, Gen 41:2 and saw seven cows coming up out of the river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds, In this dream again the number seven indicate the “divine completion on earth” This is the sign of the coming supernatural change marked by the following number eight which mark the “Olam Haba” or “Eternity”.
  • 49. Seven: The invisible “Creator” in connection with the “Created”, the One (Echad, ‫יהוה‬) with the six. Nachmanides (12th century Spain) : Seven is the number of the natural world. - There are seven days in the week, seven notes on the musical scale and seven direction(left, right, up, down, forward, back and centre), seven represented by the seven days of Succoth is the world of nature. - “Eight” represented by Shemini Atzeret, is that which is beyond nature, the eighth day of theFeast of Succoth. Seven: completeness, rest (Shabbat), healing, used as a flag for an important even like the “Millennium kingdom”.
  • 50. Verse 12, Yoseph was a Hebrew and NOT a “Jew” as many want to call him today. Brethren let us love one another with a pure heart and not with man’s traditions. Verse 14, they brought him out of the dungeon........ Dungeon Strong’s # H953 ‫ּבור‬bôr bore From H952 (in the sense of H877); a pit hole(especially one used as a cistern or prison): - cistern, dungeon, fountain, pit, well. *** The prophet Yeshayahu sees the spiritual fulfilment of the “dungeon”. Later Luke explains that this “dungeon” could not stop Elohim’s fulfilment for him Yoseph / ‫יהושע‬to save his brethren, but look the parallel between the Torah with Yoseph's condition, the Prophet Yeshayahu speaking of ‫יהושע‬and Luke also speaking of ‫יהושע‬:
  • 51. Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison* (dungeon) and from judgment. And as for His generation, who considered that He shall be cut off from the land of the living? For the transgression of My people He was stricken. Isa 53:9 and He was appointed a grave with the wrong, and with the rich at His death, because He had done no violence. *Here the word for prison is: H6115 ‫ר‬ֶ‫עֹוצ‬` otser (o'-tser) n-m. 1. closure 2. also constraint [from H6113] KJV: X barren, oppression, X prison But carry the same idea. Act 2:24 “Him Elohim raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was impossible that He could be held in its grip.
  • 52. Gen 41:9 then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, “I remember my crimes this day. Gen 41:10 “When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants, and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker, Gen 41:11 each one of us dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream. Gen 41:12 “And there was with us a Heḇrew youth, a servant of the captain of the guard and we related to him, and he interpreted our dreams for us. To each man he interpreted according to his own dream. Gen 41:13 “And it came to be, as he interpreted for us, so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.” Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his garments, and came to Pharaoh. Gen 41:15 And Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it. Now I myself have heard it said of you that you understand a dream, to interpret it.” Gen 41:16 And Yosĕph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me, let Elohim answer Pharaoh with peace.”
  • 53. Spiritual interpretation: * Pharaoh’s dream is a signal for us today as we hear the rulers of the world and economic system saying that there is not enough food to feed the people in the all world. The prophet Amos warns us that the last Famine will be the worst of all: Amo 8:11 “See, days are coming,” declares the Master ‫יהוה‬, “that I shall send a hunger (famine) land, not a hunger (famine) for bread, nor a thirst for water, but for hearing the Words of ‫י‬‫הוה‬. *** Spiritual for natural, people today think mostly to feed their belly and reject ‫יהוה‬’ s eternal Torah. * Pharaoh sees cows and corn in his dream. Cows are clean animals and the fat ones represent “righteous believers”. Corn is used to make bread, and we know that bread is a picture of ‫יהושע‬, the bread of life (Yochanan 6) also of spiritual food.
  • 54. Verse 18 the fat cows feed in a meadow, grazing the grass. His action represents believers taking the words of the Torah in order to chew it or meditate on the Torah. Verse 20 the lean cows represent the believers before the coming of Messiah who have “no appetite” for the Torah “the grass” and oppress the fat ones (righteous believers) by their false ways and false doctrines......... Mat 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees (Rabbis), hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell (Gehenna) than yourselves................. * How many "teachers", "leaders" in messianic congregations put people under bondage giving them false doctrines, not knowing themselves to discern between right and left?( IMMATURE BABIES HEB.6)
  • 55. Verse 25, Yoseph tells Pharaoh that both dreams are one and the same dream, the lean cows, the lazy and unfaithful believers(lean cows) have taken the place of the righteous believers (fat cows) who ate the bread (corn, good ears, word of Torah) Luk 18:8 “I say to you that He shall do right to them speedily. But when the Son of Aḏam comes, shall He find the belief on the earth?” 2Ti 2:18 who have missed the goal concerning the truth, saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and overthrow the belief of some. 1Ti 6:21 which some, having professed it, have missed the goal concerning the.
  • 56. Compare what Kefa writes to the remnant: 1Pe 1:7 in order that the proving of your belief – much more precious than gold that perishes, and proven by fire (Word of ‫יהוה‬)– might be found to result in praise and respect and esteem at the revelation of ‫יהושע‬Messiah, (Yoseph was revealed to his brethren during the famine) 1Pe 1:9 obtaining the goal of your belief/faith: a deliverance of lives. 1Pe 5:9 Resist him, be firm in the belief/faith, knowing that the same hardships are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 1Jn 5:4 because everyone having been born of Elohim overcomes the world. And this is the overcoming that has overcome the world: our belief/faith. ( EMUNAH - SURE FAITH GROUNDED IN THE TRUTH OF TORAH)
  • 57. Verse 25 – 37 Now Yoseph reveals Elohim’s plan of “salvation” to Pharaoh (Head of the world system today). Remember that Messiah ‫יהושע‬will come to save Elohim’s people, the House of Ya’acov to rule over them forever (Luke 1:33)...... Verse 32: Nothing can change what ‫יהוה‬has established, "twice", is the number for division and also the confirmation of divine purpose..........Yoseph tells Pharaoh the reason why ‫יהוה‬gave two dreams: Yasher 48:56. The king dreamed one dream, and the dream was therefore repeated unto Pharaoh because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
  • 58. Yasher 48:56. The king dreamed one dream, and the dream was therefore repeated unto Pharaoh because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass. Isa 55:11 so is My Word that goes forth from My mouth – it does not return to Me empty, but shall do what I please, and shall certainly accomplish what I sent it for. *** Yoseph plan pleased Pharaoh verse 37. ...... ***MMM Now Pharaoh (g-d on earth) will empower Yoseph and seat him at his right hand, verse 40 nobody will be greater than Yoseph except Pharaoh himself: Spiritual application: Act 2:34
  • 59. Spiritual application: Act 2:34 “For Dawiḏ did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself said, ‘ ‫יהוה‬said to my Master, “Sit at My right hand, (messianic prophecy) Col 3:1 If, then, you were raised with Messiah, seek the matters which are above, where Messiah is, seated at the right hand of Elohim. 1Cor. 15:28 and when all are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself shall also be subject to Him (YHWH) who put all under Him, in order that Elohim be all in all.
  • 60. Gen 41:25 and Yosĕph said to Pharaoh, “The dream of Pharaoh is one. Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do: Gen 41:26 “The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years – it is one dream. Gen 41:27 “And the seven lean and ugly cows which came up after them are seven years, and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of scarcity of food. Gen 41:28 “This is the word which I spoke to Pharaoh: Elohim has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do. Gen 41:29 “See, seven years of great plenty are coming in all the land of Mitsrayim, Gen 41:30 but after them seven years of scarcity of food shall arise and all the plenty be forgotten in the land of Mitsrayim. And the scarcity of food shall destroy the land,
  • 61. Gen 41:31 and the plenty shall not be remembered in the land, because of the scarcity of food following, for it is very severe. Gen 41:32 “and the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the word is established by Elohim, and Elohim is hastening to do it. Gen 41:33 “and now, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Mitsrayim.Gen 41:34 “let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, to take up one-fifth of the land of Mitsrayim in the seven years of plenty. Gen 41:35 “and let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. Gen 41:36 “and the food shall be for a store for the land for the seven years of scarcity of food which shall be in the land of Mitsrayim, and do not let the land be cut off by the scarcity of food.” Gen 41:37 and the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
  • 62. Torah wisdom: Question: Why did Joseph offer advice to Pharaoh and not just interpret the dream? Ans: The advice was part of the divine message contained in the dream. A wise man must understand how much food to store and how much to sell and how to preserve the grain from spoilage. Question: A wise person is defined as someone who can see what's coming. What do you think that means? Wisdom requires a broad perspective - that is, an ability to look past the immediate situation and see what the future is likely to bring. (aleftavscritures torah portion)
  • 63. Torah wisdom: Question: Do you think that planning ahead shows a lack of faith that YHVH can give us whatever we need, in any situation? * While it's true that YHVH is unlimited, He wants us to live in a practical and responsible way. We shouldn't rely on miracles happening and do our best to plan for what seem to be reasonable eventualities. Of course, throughout all this, we should remember that without YHVH's help, even the most perfect planning will get us nowhere. ( seek counsel on legal matters, etc. marriage counselor, guidance counselor) Spiritual Exercise: Ask YHVH how you can prepare for the future and be ready for the days ahead. Question: Why do you think it is often hard to plan ahead? There is a big temptation toward instant gratification, that is, to 'want it all and want it now.' • However, a wise and spiritually oriented person will realize that by giving up a little instant gratification, we'll get much greater gratification in the end. • How true? Advice to young men and women?
  • 64. Question: YHVH guides a person in the way that person wants to go. How do you understand this idea? It means that if we truly focus on a goal and not let ourselves get trapped by a pessimistic attitude, YHVH will help us get there, and go beyond what we felt were our limits. Question: "A wise man tries to see the future consequences of his choices.", “What is the likely outcome of this action, and is this something that I want to happen?" If so, go for it. If not, think again. The future does often hold unexpected surprises, and we can never know for sure if we are really prepared. In the end, we must put our trust in YHVH that we will be able to handle things that come our way. - But YHVH wants us to also act responsibly and make reasonable plans for what is likely to happen. PRINCIPLE OF SOWING & REAPING
  • 65. Question: Who do you think displays more faith, somebody who plans for the future or one who leaves everything to "chance?" Faith shouldn't be "blind." - YHVH has given us minds in order that we should make our lives meaningful and enjoyable. Part of this is making the most reasonable plans we can. - But when our plans don't turn out as we expect, we must have faith and believe that YHVH made it happen that way for a specific and good reason. Faith in YHVH in such a situation would mean making the best of it, and not complaining, because YHUH surely had a good reason for what happened.
  • 66. Question: What, in your opinion, is the difference between planning for the future and worrying about the future? - Planning is a positive act which indicates that we are confident in ourselves and the world. - Worry is a negative and paralyzing emotion which wastes energy. - When we worry, we often become paralyzed with anxiety and do nothing; - in this way we deny our responsibility to improve the world. As it is said, "when we fail to plan, we plan to fail."
  • 67. Question: How do you think a person can bring miracles into his or her life? *** YHVH treats us measure for measure according to the way we choose to live. If we live in a supernatural way - that is rise above our natural human reactions, such as refraining from taking revenge, gossiping and so forth, YHVH will go beyond nature and bring miraculous things into our lives. *** Spiritual Exercise: Try to live your life in a way that would please YHVH. Watch for the miracles that come your way. (GOD BLESS YOU JOKE WHEN ANGRY)
  • 68. 39 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Forasmuch has shown Elohim 􀋃 ‫ְתֹוא‬you ‫א‬ ֶ‫־ת‬all of ‫ז‬ֹ‫תא‬this there is none so discreet (discerning) and wise as you are: 40 ‫א‬ ַּ‫ת‬ ָ‫ה‬You will be over my house and according to your word will all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than you. 41 And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have set 􀋃 ‫ֹא‬‫ְת‬you over all the land of Egypt. 42 And took off Pharaoh ‫א‬ ֶ‫־ת‬his ring from his hand and gave ‫ֹא‬‫ת‬ ָ‫ה‬it (her) on hand of Joseph and dressed ‫ֹא‬‫ֹות‬him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck; Question: What did the ring contain? Ans: The king’s ring contained the royal seal, which would give Joseph the authority to seal decrees, as he desired. Question: Was Joseph worthy of such rewards? Joseph well deserved these honors, because of his virtuous life. The hands, neck, and body that had refused to sin with Potiphar’s wife were now adorned with the glorious signs of royalty.
  • 69. Question: Joseph was very handsome but he focused on the ways of YHVH and not his appearance. Who's more beautiful: someone with a gorgeous face who acts unkindly, or one with not very nice facial features but who acts kindly? - Real beauty isn't about the color of a person's eyes or the shape of his nose. Someone can have the most gorgeous face in the world and be hideously ugly if he acts cruelly to others. - GREEK CULTURE : WORSHIP BEAUTY is HOLY - HEBRAIC CULTURE : HOLINESS IS BEAUTY - On the other hand, someone who tries to do what's good and right and cares about others is beautiful no matter what his face looks like. Once we learn how to see with our hearts and not with our eyes, we will understand. * - BEAUTY IS SKIN DEEP?
  • 70. Question: Does being spiritual mean pulling away from anything physical or superficial, like trying to look good? Not at all. True spirituality is not about 'escaping' from the physical -- nor indulging in it for its own sake, but rather raising the physical up, by using it -- but always with an eye on how to connect it to something higher . - For instance, when eating a good meal, we should sincerely have in mind to use the energy the food gives us to do good deeds ( to do mitzvah), - or in the case of looking good, we should view it as an aspect of staying healthy, or as a way to make a positive impression on those we would like to inspire to improve their lives.

  • 72. Gen 41:38 and Pharaoh said to his servants, “Could we find another like him, a man in whom is the Spirit of Elohim?” Gen 41:39 Then Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “Since Elohim has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. .....................Verse 40 Nobody will be greater than Yoseph except Pharaoh: Spiritual application: Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him ( ‫יהושע‬) and given Him the Name which is above every name, Php 2:10 that at the Name of ‫יהושע‬every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, Col 1:18 and He is the Head of the body, the assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that He might become the One who is first in all.
  • 73. John 5:26 “For as the Father possesses life in Himself, so He gave also to the Son to possess life in Himself, Joh 5:27 and He (YHWH) has given Him ( ‫יהושע‬) authority also to do judgment, because He is the Son of Aḏam. John 5:30 “Of Myself I am unable to do any matter. As I hear, I judge, and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own desire, but the desire of the Father who sent Me. APPLICATION : We see Yoseph’s life been fulfilled in Messiah and like Yoseph was born to protect his brethren, are you doubting that ‫יהושע‬will protect you from the world famine today? Are you ‫יהושע‬’ s brethren? He says that you are, so you don’t have to worry, for what you will eat or what you will wear, for He will provide. This is the truth from the Torah. Halleluyah!
  • 74. Question: How is Joseph an archetypical foreshadowing of the Messiah in the verse? Joseph, using his position of authority, began preparing to save Egypt (and Israel) from famine at age 30, the same age at which Yahshua began His ministry of preparing salvation for the world. Joseph's brothers, in their attempt to destroy Joseph, actually set up the conditions that would bring about their eventual temporal salvation - that is, Joseph, by virtue of being sold, would become their deliverer from the famine. Similarly, Yahshua, delivered into the hands of his enemies was crucified and completed the atoning sacrifice, becoming the Deliverer of all mankind from the bands of death and hell. -Joseph provided bread for Israel and saved them from physical death by starvation, all without cost. - Yeshua, the Bread of Life, did the same for all mankind, feeding them the words of eternal life, as well as becoming their literal Savior. *** Truly Joseph's story is one that teaches the truth that "all things work together for good to them who love YHVH." For this reason alone, the similarity of Joseph to Yahshua is significant - one to be studied and taught. ***
  • 75. Gen 41:40 “be over my house, you yourself, and at your mouth all my people shall kiss –only in the throne I am greater than you.” Gen 41:41 and Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Mitsrayim.” Gen 41:42 and Pharaoh took his seal-ring off his hand and put it on Yosĕph’s hand. And he dressed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. Gen 41:43 and he had him ride in the second chariot which he had. And they cried out before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Mitsrayim. Spiritual application: Just compare the verse 43 with the following. Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him ( ‫יהושע‬) and given Him the Name which is above every name, Php 2:10 that at the Name of ‫יהושע‬every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
  • 76. Can you see the parallel between the natural (Yoseph) and the spiritual ( ‫יהושע‬Messiah)? Sha’ul told us in the book of Romans that we should not be conformed to the world but transformed by the renewing of our mind. The only process to be renewed and transformed is to study the Torah and pray to Aba ‫יהוה‬for revelation knowledge. The renewing of our mind takes effort on our side. APPLICATION: *** The mind can only be renewed by removing the old thoughts accumulated during past years and replace with the Torah.
  • 77. the book of Yasher was well known at this time, we read in Yasher chapter 49: --- 28. Do you see this man whom the king has chosen to be his second? all the affairs of government shall be regulated by him, and he that transgresses his orders, or that does not bow down before him to the ground, shall die, for he rebels against the king and his second. 29. and when the heralds had ceased proclaiming, all the people of Egypt bowed down to the ground before Joseph and said, May the king live, also may his second live; and all the inhabitants of Egypt bowed down along the road, and when the heralds approached them, they bowed down, and they rejoiced with all sorts of timbrels, mechol and nebal before Joseph. SEE ISAIAH 9:6 prophecy
  • 78. JOSEPH HAD EVERYTHING: Question: What is a healthy attitude to have about the things we have? Our possessions, everything we have, are a gift from YHVH. We should be grateful for them, use them for good purposes, and even enjoy them. - However, we should also be careful not to use them as a tool to hurt others by making them feel jealous or inferior. - When we act modestly with our possessions, we elevate ourselves spiritually. We demonstrate that we are sensitive to people's feelings and aware that our character and values, and not our possessions are the most valuable things that we own. Question: Unfortunately, one of the messages that many people absorb is that the more someone has, the more valuable he is as a person. Of course this isn't true. *** A person's true worth is derived from the fact that he is a child of YHUH and enhanced by his good deeds and character development. (he who walks and no one follows? If people don’t like you they wont follow you and will not listen to you. How true?
  • 79. Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a Child is born; to us a Son is given; and the government is on His shoulder; and His name is called Wonderful Counselor, The Mighty El, The Prince of Peace, The one who Fathered Everlasting life. Isa 9:7 There is no end to the increase of His government and of peace on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to order it, and to sustain it with justice and with righteousness, from now and forever. The zeal of YAHWEH of Hosts will do this.
  • 80. Gen 41:44 and Pharaoh said to Yosĕph, “I am Pharaoh, and without a word from you let no man lift his hand or foot in all the land of Mitsrayim.” Gen 41:45 and Pharaoh called Yosĕph’s name Zaphnath- Paʽnĕaḥ. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On and Yosĕph went out over all the land of Mitsrayim. * Pharaoh called Yoseph “Zaphnah-Paneah: Keil and Deltiztsch give following interpretation: according to Rosellini and more recent Egyptologists, to the Coptic P-sont-em-ph-anh, i.e., sustentator vitae, support or sustainer of life, with reference to the call entrusted to him by God.
  • 81. Josephus in his writing "Antiquities of the Jews” writes following in book: ii chapter 6:1: JOSEPH was now grown up to thirty years of age, and enjoyed great honours from the king, who called him Psothom Phanech, out of regard to his prodigious degree of wisdom; for that name denotes the revealers of secrets. He also married a wife of very high quality; for he married the daughter of Petephres, (4) one of the priests of Heliopolis; she was a virgin, and her name was Asenath Verse 46, Yoseph enter his ministry like ‫יהושע‬at the age of Thirty years old! Gen 41:46 Now Yosĕph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim. And Yosĕph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Mitsrayim.
  • 82. Question: How old was Joseph when his sons were born? And Joseph's wife Asenath the daughter of Potiphera bare him two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, and Joseph was thirty-four years old when they were born. - And the lads grew up and they went in his (Joseph’s) ways and in his instructions, they did not deviate from the way which their father taught them, either to the right or left. - And YHVH was with the lads, and they grew up and had understanding and skill in all wisdom and in all the affairs of government, and all the king's officers and his great men of the inhabitants of Egypt exalted the lads, and they were brought up amongst the king's children. (Jasher) - To be the only Hebrew in Egypt and to be married to a woman raised in the idolatry of Egypt, yet to raise children who remain the model after whom Hebrew parents bless their children-“may Elohim make you like Ephraim and Manasseh”- is no small privilege.

  • 84. Spiritual explanation of the dream: ---- 47. “The seven years of plenty” represent the beginning of Messiah ministry when believers from the House of Yehudah and the House of Israel (gentiles) turned back to the Torah during the first century. 49. “much grain as the sand of the sea”, corn as the sand of the sea! Think about who shall be like the sand of the sea but only a remnant shall be saved. Gen 32:12 “For You said, ‘I shall certainly do good to you, and shall make your seed as the sand of the sea, which are too numerous to count.’ ” (Elohim to Ya’acov). Isa 10:22 for though your people, O Yisra’ĕl, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return – a decisive end, overflowing with righteousness.
  • 85. Hos 1:10 “Yet the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be as the sand of the sea,which is not measured nor counted. And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they shall be called, ‘You are the sons of the living Ěl.’ Rom 9:27 And Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of Yisra’ĕl, “Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved. Rev 13:1 and I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads names of blasphemy. Rev 20:8 and he shall go out to lead the nations astray which are in the four corners of the earth, Goḡ and Maḡoḡ, to gather them together for battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. .......
  • 86. “the sand of the sea” the Ruach gave me understanding concerning the book of Revelation. The Torah is the source of our Revelation not the other way round, through or by the Ruach HaQodesh. Revelation 13:1 and 20:8 who is like the sand of the sea? Are they not the descendants ofAbraham, Itzahk and Ya’acov? Are they not among the Christians assemblies today?Yochanan write chapter 13 that he saw a beast coming out of the “sea” when Yochanan“stood on the sand of the sea”. Think about that. Who are this people? And who is the beast? What is the sea? Rev 17:1 and there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:Rev 17:15 and he saith unto me, The waterswhich thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations,and tongues.
  • 87. When writing these verses by the hand of Yochanan, the Spirit of ‫יהושע‬had the prophetYrmeyahu in mind speaking of Babylon: Jer 51:13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, and the measure of thy covetousness. Jer 51:8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed. Jer 51:9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies................ This is the first beast the one empowered by HaSatan verse 2 (dragon) Revelation 20:8 who lead the people today, is it not HaSatan (verse 7) leading Gog and Magog against those whose number is as the sand of the sea? Now knowing who these people are, can you see who the remnant are? Are you among the remnant or are you among those who are as the sand of the sea?
  • 88. Gen 41:47 and in the seven years of plenty the ground brought forth generously. Gen 41:48 and he gathered all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Mitsrayim, and laid up the food in the cities. He laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them. Gen 41:49 Thus Yosĕph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he ceased counting, for it was without number. Verse 49, we can see the revelation behind the literal text. “…much grain, as the sand of the sea…… it was without number” This was the situation at Moshe’s time when people had left Egypt as we can read: Deu 10:22
  • 89. Deut 10:22 “Your fathers went down to Mitsrayim with seventy beings, and now ‫יהוה‬your Elohim has made you as numerous as the stars of the heavens. Deut 28:62 “And you shall be left with few men (remnant), although you had become as numerous as the stars of the heavens, because you did not obey the voice of ‫יהוה‬your Elohim. ……… ***This situation is the same today as it was under Moshe. As we are coming closer to the end of the age, believers are like the sand of the sea, but only a remnant will be saved, because of the same reason as it was with Moshe.............. 50-53. Yospeh got children from Asenath. Let us first look at Yoseph’s wife name“Asenath”...........
  • 90. Keil and Delitzsch give us following information: Asenath, Ἀσενέθ (lxx), possibly connected with the name Neith, the Egyptian Pallas.Poti- Phera, Πετεφρῆ (lxx), a Coptic name signifying ille qui solis est, consecrated to the sun (φρη with the aspirated article signifies the sun in Memphitic). On was the popular name for Heliopolis (Ἡλιούπολις, lxx), and according to Cyrill. Alex. and Hos_5:8signifies the sun; whilst the name upon the monuments is ta-Râ or pa-Râ, house of the sun (Brugsch, Reisebericht, p. 50). From a very early date there was a celebrated temple of the sun here, with a learned priesthood, which held the first place among the priests' colleges of Egypt (Herod. 2, 3; Hengst. pp. 32ff.).
  • 91. This promotion of Joseph, from the position of a Hebrew slave pining in prison to the highest post of honour in the Egyptian kingdom, is perfectly conceivable, on the one hand, from the great importance attached in ancient times to the interpretation of dreams and to all occult science, especially among the Egyptians, and on the other hand, from the despotic form of government in the East; but the miraculous power of God is to be seen in the fact, that God endowed Joseph with the gift of infallible interpretation, and so ordered the circumstances that this gift opened the way for him to occupy that position in which he became the preserver, not of Egypt alone, but of his own family also. * And the same hand of God, by which he had been so highly exalted after deep degradation, preserved him in his lofty post of honor from sinking into the heathenism of Egypt; although, by his alliance with the daughter of a priest of the sun, the most distinguished caste in the land, he had fully entered into the national associations and customs of the land.
  • 92. This is of course very interesting when we know that nowadays, those pretending to worship “Christ”, are followers of the same Egyptian belief, the worship of the sun, demonstrated in their different feast like “christmas” and “easter” (isthar) and their worship day the “sun-day” or “day of the sun”, “valentine’s day”, “new year” and more. *** Like Yoseph, Messiah ‫יהושע‬will have to go to the spiritual Egypt to save the remnant of those who will follow him in the Torah. • Asenath is a picture of pagan nations whereYoseph / ‫יהושע‬will bring the Torah.
  • 93. Manasheh which means “forgetting” Ephraim which means “fruitful” Yoseph says that Elohim has made him to forget his father’s house and caused him to be fruitful in the land of his affliction!....... *** We need to see the spiritual aspect which is found in ‫יהושע‬Messiah. The House of Israel (Ephraim and Manasheh) are fruitful (many descendants) in the land of affliction (the world today) and have forgotten their ancestors (Abraham, Itzahk, Ya’acov, Yospeh, King David, Yehoshua) Read: Hoshea 13; 1, 4, 6, 12, 12:8, 7:8-12. ..... 13:1 c'dabar `ef'rayiM r'TaT naSa` hu` b'yiS'ra`al v aye`'shaM baba,al vayamoT “As Ephraim spake he lifted panic in Israel and he is being guilty and in the Ba’al he is dying”.

Hos 13:6 according to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me. Hos 13:12 The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. Hos 12:8and Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. Hos 7:8 Ephraim, he hath mixed himself among the people; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hos 7:9 strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. Hos 7:10 and the pride of Israel testifieth to his face: and they do not return to YHWH their Elohim, nor seek him for all this. Hos 7:11 Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. Hos 7:12 when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowls of the heaven; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard. *** Remember Ephraim is the House of Israel, the Northern Kingdom separate from the House of Yehudah.

  • 96. Gen 41:50 and to Yosĕph were born two sons before the years of scarcity of food came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him. Gen 41:51 and Yosĕph called the name of the first-born Menashsheh, “For Elohim has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.” Gen 41:52 and the name of the second he called Ephrayim, “For Elohim has caused me to bear fruit in the land of my affliction.” • Gen 41:53 and the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Mitsrayim came to an end, 54-57.Here again we are going to see how the spiritual and natural mix together.
  • 97. As it was at Yoseph’s time it is today there is now in the years 2015 since many years more and more scarcity of food and people cry to “g-d”, the “g-d” of this world they turn to the rulers of the world for solution, like the Egyptians turned to Pharaoh. • Pharaoh told them to go to Yoseph and to do whatever he wills say. ( see torah teachings on shemitah by joseph dumond) • People today have turned to the false Messiah, the “Anti-messiah” the son of perdition, only a remnant follow the true Messiah, ‫יהושע‬of Nazareth, not “Jesus from Rome”.
  • 98. END TIME PROPHETIC CONNECTION Genesis 41 we read about Pharaoh’s dream regarding the seven years of plenty and seven years of famine. God gave Joseph understanding of the vision: Egypt’s seven years of plenty and seven years of famine form a template for our time. - Egypt is a symbol of the worldly system. - Egypt had seven years of Prophesied plenty. So have we. - Then Egypt entered seven years of famine. - During the second lean year Israel moved into the land of Goshen, away from the cities. The Egyptians ran out of bread and the money. The money failed! Our money will soon fail. - The Egyptians bartered their livestock, which was their remaining wealth. Then they sold their bodies and lands to Joseph, so Pharaoh owned all the land and all the people. Joseph moved all the people into the cities. And the Hebrews ultimately became Pharaoh’s slaves. We will see the same things. The parallels with our time are too striking to miss. History repeats itself.

These conditions will result in war. Many have warned the ever-increasing debt load of our current monetary system is impossible to maintain and will soon fail. Bible Prophecy has already established these events which are now unfolding. Then the people of the land will barter any items of value for food, as the Egyptians bartered their valuable cattle for food. When these valuables run out, the people of the world will sell their land and souls to the rulers for food. The rulers of Egypt transferred vast amounts of wealth from the people to the government.

I don’t think he will accomplish all that he does because of his charisma or ideas. I think the world be in such need that they will sell themselves to him. This generation has been around since Israel was formed in 1948. How long can this generation of baby boomers last? It appears that ominous things are coming our way. The days of abundance are about to end. The famine will be very severe. The world as we know it will change dramatically. ***Just as Joseph stood in his day and warned of what was coming, God used him to preserve the House of Jacob.

And I will make it like the mourning of an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day. 11 Behold, the days come, says the Lord Jehovah, that I will send a famine in the land; not a famine of bread nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the Words of Jehovah. 12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of Jehovah, and shall not find it. *** Have you ever thought why there was a famine of the word? May I suggest it was because the people did not support those teaching them? May I also suggest the people really did not believe and were only going through the motions pretending as they used to do for one hour on Sundays and flipping some loose change in the offering basket? And may I also suggest the people never truly repented and want to serve Yehovah. You and I are to serve Yehovah and do His will. Not your will be done but His will be done.
  • 108. TORAH AND PROPHECY PORTION What is the Prophetic meaning of 7 year of famine? What is the famine of the Word? We read in the first two verses of Ruth some bizarre events and they force us to stop and ask what is going on here? Ruth 1:1 And it happened in the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem-judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons. 2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem-judah. And they came to the fields of Moab and stayed there. ***Why is there a famine in the land, which was supposed to be a land of milk and honey? What happened? *** We are told they are in the days of the judges with everyone doing what was right in their own eyes. Judges 17:6 In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his eyes. *** First problem. We are also told there is a famine in the house of bread, which is what Beth Lehem means.
  • 109. The history of the judges is the cycle of oppression and then deliverance followed by more sinning and then more oppression. And our present generation today are no different. Jdg 2:16 But Jehovah raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who spoiled them. 17 And yet they would not listen to their judges, but they went lusting after other gods, and bowed themselves to them. They turned quickly out of the way which their fathers walked in, for they had obeyed the commandments of Jehovah; these did not do so. *** But read what the people at that time did after Joshua died, unbelievable. Jdg 2:8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of Jehovah, died, being a hundred and ten years old. ….And there arose another generation after them who did not know Jehovah, nor even the works which He had done for Israel. 11 And the sons of Israel did evil in the sight of Jehovah, and served Baals. 12 And they forsook Jehovah, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt. And they followed other gods of the gods of the people who were around them, and bowed themselves to them, and provoked Jehovah to anger. 13 And they
  • 110. Judges 21:25 In those days there was no king in Israel. Every man did the right in his own eyes. *** There is nothing new here. Today our society does what is right in their own eyes. What was evil before WW II is not evil today. *** What changed? Our Morals have changed because we now tolerate sin and as we were warned we now call evil good and good evil. *** It was the same in the time of the Judges. When strong moral leaders ruled, the people lived in peace. When immoral leaders ruled there were consequences exactly as we have today. - We have immoral/idolatrous leadership elected by an immoral/idolatrous society of which you all are apart. Your morality is tarnished because you also tolerate sin (LAWLESSNESS). ( the torah must be restored to the Philippines)
  • 111. And yet you are wrong because you hold on to your pagan roots. You mixed the seed of truth with the seed of good and evil and you do not know the difference most of the time. So you end up looking for teachers to prove you right instead of those who teach the truth and tell you to repent and show you why. You just read how the Levites helped the people to understand the Torah, which many of you want and need. Nehemiah then goes on to say something very profound. Neh 13:10 And I saw that the portions of the Levites had not been given to them; for the Levites and the singers, who did the work, had fled each one to his field. 11 And I contended with the rulers and said, Why is the house of God forsaken? And I gathered them together and set them in their place. 12 And all Judah brought the tithe of the grain and the new wine and the oil into the treasuries. *** The Levites were no longer able to teach because they had to go and work their own land in order to survive. That means that they did not have time to ‘sepher’ the word of Yehovah and draw the needed conclusions to their teachings. It means their teachings became like pabulum. There was no time to do the extra study needed to find the meat teachings. It means the people were not being taught the Torah on any levels and this is why they forgot about the miracles of Moses. It is no different today. ( JOSEPH DUMOND)
  • 112. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth. *** We are also told that it was the Levites who were to teach the people the Torah. To teach them how to eat this Bread of Life. 2Chr 35:3 And he said to the Levites who taught all Israel, who were holy to Jehovah, Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, built. It shall not be a burden on your shoulders. And serve Jehovah your God and His people Israel, .
  • 113. Do you have teachers going from city to city teaching the word of Yehovah? We now go from the days of the kings to the days of Nehemiah and again it is the Levites that are teaching the people and helping them to understand the Torah. Neh 8:7 And Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the Law. And the people were in their place. 8 And they read in the Book of the Law of God, clearly. And they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 9 And Nehemiah, the governor, and Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your God. Do not mourn or weep. For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Law. *** Now today we all have come out of our pagan churches. Many of you continue to hold on to your Christianity with its many false and wrong teachings. You just add Torah observance to those traditions. You get mad when people like me come along and show by the scriptures where you are wrong and we tell you to repent. There is no way you could be wrong of course, what were we thinking? So you curse us and belittle us as they did the prophets of old.
  • 114. They will write and say they do not have a farm and have no crops so they have nothing to tithe. Others will write and say we have no temple so how do we bring it to the Temple? And others still will write and say who are the Levites, and we can’t know for sure who they are so how do we tithe? *** If we had the Temple today, they would not send anything to it. If we knew who were Levitical Priests were, they would still not send them tithes. They can find 101 or more excuses why they will not help to support something they both want and need in having teachers to teach them. They will not support the Jewish rabbi because he does not believe in Jesus or Yehshua. They do not support the Karaites for the same reason. They do not support those who do believe in Yehshua because they can’t prove they are Levites. Because the people were not being taught the Torah, there came a famine to Bethlehem and this is why Naomi and her family left for Moab. Yehovah said; Num 18:20 And Jehovah said to Aaron, You shall have no inheritance in their land, neither shall you have any part among them. I am your part and your inheritance among the sons of Israel. 21 And behold, I have given the sons of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.
  • 115. Does this say only the crops or does it say ALL IN ISRAEL? I have given the sons of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance ( Article by Joseph DUMOND on sightedmoon.com) In the past I have written against tithing to those who do not support the temple work. I have not changed this position. Are those who teach you the deeper levels of the Torah doing the Temple work? If they are then you had better be supporting them. Are those teaching you, telling you not to keep the Sabbath nor the Holy Days nor the Sabbatical years and if so are they doing the Temple work? The answer is no. Anyone telling you, that you do not have to keep the Sabbath or Holy Days or the Sabbatical years is not doing the work of the Temple. - Then why in the world are you supporting them? - These people who ask for millions for their leer jets and penthouses, you know are false teacher. Those who do not teach you to obey the Commandments including the Sabbatical years and the third tithe year; - Why are you helping them lead others astray?

Rom 6:11 So you also,reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to Elohim in Messiah ‫יהושע‬our Master. (to be dead to sin is to have no power to transgress the Torah) Rom 7:6 But now we have been released from the Torah, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in newness of Spirit and not in oldness of letter. Eph 2:5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Messiah – by favour you have been saved.

Go down to that place and buy for us there, and let us live and not die.” Gen 42:3 and Yosĕph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Mitsrayim. Verse 3. Yoseph’s ten brethren. Ten is the number for the sum of all number. Greg Killian writes:” Ten- The number designating a complete whole – representing the whole direction which Elohim exercises. * According to the book of Yasher they went down during the twentieth year of Yospeh been in Egypt: Twelve years spent between Potiphar's service and jails, seven years during the time of harvest abundance and the beginning of the Famine during the Twentieth year.

Gen 42:4 but Yaʽaqoḇ did not send Yosĕph’s brother Binyamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some harm come to him.” Gen 42:5 and the sons of Yisra’ĕl went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the scarcity of food was in the land of Kenaʽan. Gen 42:6 and Yosĕph was the governor over the land, he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Yosĕph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth. *** Yoseph ruled over Mitzrayim like ‫יהושע‬rule over the all world, “and Yoseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth”.

And see, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.” Gen 37:8 and his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Shall you indeed rule over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words. Back to the today’s Parasha. Gen 42:7 and Yosĕph saw his brothers and recognised them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke to them harshly, and said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Kenaʽan to buy food.” Gen 42:8 so Yosĕph recognised his brothers, but they did not recognise him. 7-8 Read: ---- Joh 7:8

Hos 6:2 "He will revive us after two days; He will raise us up on the third day, That we may live before Him. Question: * Who will bow down to ‫יהושע‬when he comes back, are not all of the House ofYa'acov to bow down before Him? And not only them but the all world! ‫יהוה‬gave this dreams to Yoseph so that he could remember when time has come that it is ‫יהוה‬' will and to reveal what will be with our Master ‫יהושע‬, no coincidence. For testing read: Pro 3:11 My son, do not despise the discipline of ‫יהוה‬, and do not loathe His reproof; Pro 3:12 for whom ‫יהוה‬loves He reproves, as a father the son whom he delights in

With numerous signs for forty days He was being seen by them, and He spoke concerning the Kingdom of YAHWEH. And while He ate bread with them, He charged them not to leave Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, Which you heard of Me; for John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days after.

  • 128. Verse 15 Yoseph requires of his brethren that they bring Benjamin, his brother from Rahel (Rachel) their common mother. Benjamin is the only one, not having been born in the House of Laban the pagan and idolater uncle, but on the way back to Canaan. Benjamin means “son of the right hand”. The right side is the side of “mercy”. Benjamin was later after the splitting of the kingdom into two Houses, to be joined to the House of Yahudah (1 King 12:18-21, 2nd Chronicle 11:12, Roman 11:1) . 1Ki 12:18 and when Sovereign Reḥaḇʽam sent Aḏoram, who was over the compulsory labour, all Yisra’ĕl stoned him with stones, and he died. And Sovereign Reḥaḇʽam hastily mounted his chariot to flee to Yerushalayim. 1Ki 12:19 Thus Yisra’ĕl revolted against the house of Dawiḏ to this day. 1Ki 12:20
  • 129. and it came to be when all Yisra’ĕl heard that Yeroḇʽam had come back, they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and set him up to reign over all Yisra’ĕl. There was none who followed the house of Dawiḏ, except the tribe of Yehuḏah only. 1Ki 12:21 and Reḥaḇʽam came to Yerushalayim, and he assembled all the house of Yehuḏah with the tribe of Binyamin, one hundred and eighty thousand chosen brave men, to fight against the house of Yisra’ĕl, to bring back the reign to Reḥaḇʽam son of Shelomoh. 2Ch 11:12 and shields and spears in every city, and made them very strong. ThusYehuḏah and Binyamin were his . Rom 11:1 I say then, has Elohim rejected His people? Let it not be! For I also am a Yisra’ĕlite, of the seed of Aḇraham, of the tribe of Binyamin...............
  • 130. * Today, Benjamites are also considered to be “Jews” and we are going to see that Yoseph (Messiah) will make himself known to his brethren first through Benjamin. • Could it be that today many from the so called “Jews” having turned to Messiah are those “Benjamin” - the - First “Jews” having recognize Messiah ‫יהושע‬) Yoseph), • while those of Yoseph’s House (Ephraim) will be encouraged to walk in the Torah through their examples?.......... Gen 42:10 and they said to him, “No, my master, but your servants have come to buy food. Gen 42:11 “We are all one man’s sons, we are trustworthy, your servants are not spies.” Gen 42:12 But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.” Gen 42:13
  • 131. Gen 42:13 And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Kenaʽan. And see, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.” Gen 42:14 And Yosĕph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!’ Gen 42:15 “By this you shall be proven: By the life of Pharaoh, you do not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here. Gen 42:16 “Send one of you, and let him bring your brother, while you are kept in prison. So let your words be proven to see whether there is any truth in you, or else, by the life of Pharaoh, you are spies!” Gen 42:17 and he put them all together in prison for three days. Gen 42:18 Now Yosĕph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear Elohim: ----- 19-22. Beginning of repentance: Hos 5:15 “I shall go, I shall return to My place, until they confess their guilt and seek My face, in their distress diligently search for Me, and say, Hos 6:1 ‘Come, and let us turn back to ‫יהוה‬. For He has torn but He does heal us, He has stricken but He binds us up ………
  • 132. Verse 21: Gen 42:21 And they said to each other, “Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon us.” Let us see something hidden in the sod in verse 21: Jeremiah 30: 7 Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it. Here the word for "distress” and for "trouble" is the Hebrew word: Storng's #HH6869 ‫ה‬ ָ‫ר‬ָ‫צ‬tsarah (tsaw-raw') n-f. 1. tightness (i.e. figuratively, trouble) 2. transitively, a female rival [feminine of H6862] KJV: adversary, adversity, affliction, anguish, distress, tribulation, trouble. Root(s): H6862 Now let us compare with the words of Yeshua:
  • 133. Matt.7: 13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Narrow: Strong's G2346 θλίβω thlibo (thlee'-bo) v. 1. to crowd {literally or figuratively} [akin to the base of G5147] KJV: afflict, narrow, throng, suffer tribulation, trouble *** Yeshua is saying in essence, that those who want to enter the gate, will have to go through tribulation , which is the same word in Hebrew. What a great revelation! Yehowah speaks the end for the Beginning. Verse 25 Yoseph (Messiah) fill their sack. He gives food like Messiah gives food to his brethren.....
  • 134. We read something interesting from the book of Yasher concerning the intention ofYoseph’s brethren in the chapter 51,... 6. and whilst the sons of Jacob were going on the road, they repented of what they had done to Joseph, and they spoke to each other, saying, We know that our brother Joseph went down to Egypt, and now we will seek him where we go, and if we find him we will take him from his master for a ransom, and if not, by force, and we will die for him. 7. And the sons of Jacob agreed to this thing and strengthened themselves on account of Joseph, to deliver him from the hand of his master, and the sons of Jacob went to Egypt; and when they came near to Egypt they separated from each other, and they came through ten gates of Egypt, and the gate keepers wrote their names on that day, and brought them to Joseph in the evening.
  • 135. Yoseph knew of the coming of his brethren because he had put gate keepers over the all entrance “doors” in Egypt, and the gate keepers were required to write the name of every man and his family members before he could enter Egypt. When I read what Yoseph did, it is amazing what we can see today in our countries with control all for the so called “wellbeing” of citizens from this countries. This is really the work of the Anti-Messiah. Today, you cannot enter legally in Europe if you are not registered and fill all required documents from the secular governments. The new passports are digital and no way to fake them. Gen 42:19 “If you are trustworthy, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house, and you, go, bring grain for the scarcity of food of your houses. Gen 42:20“And bring your youngest brother to me, and let your words be confirmed, and you do not die.” And so they did. Gen 42:21
  • 136. Gen 42:21 and they said to each other, “Truly, we are guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the distress of his life when he pleaded with us, yet we did not listen, that is why this distress has come upon us.” Gen 42:22 and Re’uḇĕn answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy,’ and you would not listen? And see, his blood is now required of us.” Gen 42:23 and they did not know that Yosĕph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter. Gen 42:24 and he turned himself away from them and wept, but came back to them and spoke to them. And he took Shimʽon from them and bound him before their eyes. Gen 42:25 And Yosĕph commanded and they filled their sacks with grain, also to put back every man’s silver to his sack, and to give them food for the journey. And thus it was done for them. Gen 42:26
  • 137. Gen 42:26 so they loaded their donkeys with the grain and went from there. Gen 42:27and as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey fodder at the lodging place, he saw his silver, for there it was in the mouth of his sack! Gen 42:28 and he said to his brothers, “My silver has been returned, and there it is, in my sack!” And their hearts sank and they were afraid, saying to each other, “What is this that Elohim has done to us?” 29-38.We have seen that Yoseph (Messiah) gave back all gift to his brethren and gave them food. This is what ‫יהושע‬has done for us and for his brethren from the house ofYehudah. Free gift, not by work for no man can give ransom for his own soul. * We remember that the two dreams represent the two coming of Messiah. The first time they will not recognize him and Benjamin is not with them! This is very important because we know that it is through Benjamin, Yoseph’s brother that they will be able to recognize him. ** Can you see that Yoseph in spite of having been sold by his brethren fed them and wait patiently, because Benjamin was not there to receive their repentance?
