In this post I want to explore the types and shadows given to us in Joseph, and in his brethren. Many stories in the Bible are given to as signs of things to come not only in Jesus, but also in the children of Israel. No need to respond to this post, because it really has no specific point, but it is more of an exercise of the mind of the Spirit.


Genesis 37:23;"And it came to pass when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph (out of his coat,) his coat of many colors that was on him."

Zechariah 13:7;"Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the Lord of hosts: (smite the shepherd,) and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones."

Mark 14:27;"And Jesus said unto them, (All you shall be offended) because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered."

Genesis 37:33;"And he knew it, and said, It is my sons coat; an (evil beast) has devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces."

Leviticus 22:8;"That which dies of itself, or is (torn with beasts), he shall not eat to defile himself therewith: I am the Lord."

Ezekiel 5:17;"So will I send upon you famine and (evil beasts), and they shall bereave thee; and pestilance and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the Lord have spoken it."

2 Peter 2:12;"But these, as (natural brute beasts), made to be destroyed, speak evil of things that they understand not; and shall utterly perish in their own corruption."

Jeremiah 31:27;"Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the (seed of man), and with the (seed of beast.")

Daniel 2:43;"And as thou saw (iron) mixed with miry (clay,) they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Genesis 37:24;"And they took him, and cast him into the pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it."

Psalm 16:10;"For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption."

Zechariah 11:12;"And I said unto them, If you think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed me my price thirty pieces of silver."

Mark 10:33;"Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Genesis 39:20;"And Joseph's master took him, and put him in prison, a place where the kings prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison."

Ecclesiastes 4:14;"For out of prison he comes to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor."

Isaiah 24:22;"And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in prison, and after many days shall they be visited."

Isaiah 42:7;"To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house."

Isaiah 61:1;"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me; because the Lord has anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"


I am going to write this post in parts, so please bear with me.

The one part you quote reminds me of this as well

Duet 25:3 Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.

2 Corinthians 11:24;"Of the Jews ( five times) recieved I forty stripes save one

Amen brother! Confirmation SpiritInTruth (or at least somewhat) on my part to yours, these are great, praise God really, and your last one here is just beautiful.

Amen brother!

Gen 42:7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them

Gen 42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

Gen 42:20 But bring your youngest brother unto me; so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not die.

Gen 44:2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money. And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

Gen 44:12 And he searched, and began at the eldest, and left at the youngest: and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.

1Cr 15:8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

Phil 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin

Phil 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

I had written a poem around 20 years ago, I wasnt too good at it or anything, but simply because I did not know how to put into words (and didnt know I didnt have to do that) as now I prefer his (not mine) but I sorta fell back on at least trying (not knowing this) lol I sure was not really getting what I was writing at the time, only the signifiers. Heres a clip a portion of the poem in relation to the silver cup

(snip)

What are the suffering's
of Christ that we lack?
But the crucible for silver
found in Benjamin's sack.
The cup that we drink
is the sufferings of Christ,
filling up in ourselves
our Lord's sacrifice.

(snip)

Whereas Paul said...

Gal 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

Phil 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

Gen 45:1 Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.

1Cr 9:1 Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?

Jesus was revealed to Paul diffently then the former who walked with him in the flesh, but could still say we know Him not after the flesh even though we have known him that way prior. However all of them went out from him when he made himself known to them.

God bless you brother, I really enjoy your posts, you have been such a blessing to me.
