When King Pharaoh had a dream when he was only two years old, he started thinking about Joseph.”
Those who know the Bible can't help but believe that this was a strange providence of God.
will be. Because those two years have a special meaning.
Those two years are considered to be waiting for Joseph to become prime minister of Egypt.
Genesis 41:46 says, "Joseph was 30 years old when he stood before Pharaoh." God
knows that he is waiting for Joseph to turn 30. Why is it that 30 years old
It is the official age for becoming a national leader. According to Numbers 4:3, “at the age of 30,
Count all those who can take part in the work to do the work of hoiming until the age of fifty."
see what you did
In the Old Testament times, those who wanted to serve in the temple were from the age of 30.
According to 2 Samuel 5:4, David was also 30 years old when he came to the throne. Jesus
The fact that he entered public life at the age of 30 knows that this custom is different.
While waiting for that time, God allowed Joseph to stay in prison for two more years.
It seems clear what you did. Then how strange is God's providence? Joseph
this wouldn't have known However, in the latter days, Joseph also
My faith in and relying on Lee deepened. Genesis 45:5 says, "You have not seen me
Don't worry, don't be sad because it was sold somewhere, God saves lives.
You have sent me before you...
Preserve your life with God's great salvation and send your descendants to the world.
He sent me before you to
Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God."
there is this Billion is what he said in front of his brothers after he became prime minister of Egypt.
When his brothers met Yotbe and were bewildered by the sins of the past, Joseph
My comforting words are, "It was not you who sent me to this Egypt, God.
"He sent me here before you to save our lives.
"Do not be troubled and do not lament that you sold me here.
he comforted It is said that even all misfortunes are jointly beneficial.
By God's providence, Joseph knows that he is the evidence of his strong faith. Joseph's brothers also
After hearing this, he truly repented of his past and repented. Joseph also said that they repented
Rather, he felt pity for them and wept bitterly.
Here especially Joseph's affection for his brothers, and the genuinely repentant brothers,
Let's think about what happened.
In Genesis 42, there are seven records of Joseph weeping. four times
After meeting his brothers, he cried, once when he met his brother Benjamin and wept, and once
Bern met his companion Benjamin and wept, and once met his father for the first time.
When, once again, I cried when my father passed away.
I think this shows how strong Joseph's affection is.
Here we now consider it one or two.
Genesis 42:24 says, "Joseph went away from his brothers and wept, and then came back and spoke with them.
Then he said, "There is a saying. As you are well aware, Joseph was in a great famine.
The brothers went to Joseph, the prime minister of Egypt, to get grain. they didn't know joseph
But Joseph knew them. There Joseph tried his brothers. Genesis 42:
In verse 9, Joseph said, "Your spies have come to spy on this country." he is
They were imprisoned for three days, and when they were released, they were again spoken of in Gen 42:17.
“Only one of you remains hostage, and the other brothers go away with grain.
Save the people from hunger and bring back Benjamin, the last brother. that's how you die
I will not do it.” At that time, the brothers said to each other, “We love our brother Joseph.
We have sinned because of it." "When he begged us, he saw the trouble of his heart.
Because we have not listened, this affliction comes upon us.... Therefore his blood
paid a price.” They were very sorry for selling Joseph in the old days.
it had become The image of the young Joseph begging will come alive to them.
ah it got better They hired an interpreter, so Joseph couldn't understand.
Knowing that, they talked to each other and sighed. When Joseph heard the sorrows of his brothers,
I couldn't stand it any longer. He withdrew from the scene and, as it is in 42:24, "in the closet.
He went into the room and cried sadly, hanging his head alone. But Joseph wiped away his tears.
He didn't see his brothers. He did not reveal his identity. the strictness of one's brothers
He was trying to test a repentance. In Genesis 44:17, it goes and kills Benjamin.

Then we will remember Judas especially among those brethren. Look at Gen 44:33
Then Judah said to Joseph, king of Egypt, "I will be a servant in place of Benjamin.
' Then Judas said, "We have a father, and we are old men, and in his old age
He had a son; his older brother Joseph died, and his only younger brother, so his father
I love you.” In the past, they loved Joseph as the son whose father loved him the most.
I didn't want to kill him because of phosphorus, but this time because of his father's special love, Benjamin

was completely different from
His brother Judas said again that he could no longer grieve his father.
“If you do not take this child, the father will see that the son is not there, and he will die.
When we come together, we make our servants go down to hell with our father's bald head.

Judas could not sin any more against his father, so he imprisoned me and made me a slave.

I heard it in the palace."
In Genesis 45:15, there is another saying, "We kissed and embraced our brothers and wept."
Joseph's affection is also affection, but the brothers who repented do not know how blessed they were.
call In particular, the Bible tells us what the blessings of such a thoroughly repentant Judas were.

Originally, Judas did not become a person worthy of the blessing. According to Genesis 38:2, he was his parents.

Judas lost it. It must be said that Judas' actions were speculative, like Esau's.
there is only But such Judas repented greatly, as we had seen earlier. then to God

We can see from Judas that he is so pleased.
Until Genesis 49:9-12, God's blessings upon him are recorded." Judas, you

He and his descendants promised to become the strongest of the 12 tribes.
This is actually a great blessing beyond the firstborn's enterprise. So Judas said to Joseph
