This is not new, to me, and I find it amazing that everytime I delve into the bible there is always more to understand.

Another way Gen 41 pointed to Jesus was that Jesus was crucified with two thieves and one was justified the other condemned, so also the two prisoners Joseph interpreted their dreams, one was justified the other condemned

Does this 👆🏽 make sense?

Mathew 23: 12, if you are full of pride, you will fall as fast as Lucifer did (Luke 10: 18) but on the contrary, Be humble and the Lord will rise you up as quick as Joseph.

Im amazed at how many lessons can be taught through ONE story! Endless character development, anyone who says the Bible is a boring book hasn't read Genesis :D

[BabyAngelV]

Yay! ☺️
I’m so in love with the Word! 🙌
I look forward to these teachings.

[deboraheaton]

Amen! I never noticed that they brought him out quickly, amazing. The rapture will do the same for the church.

Divine teaching David. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain God's Word. You really make it simple, yet profound.

Joseph never took credit for interpretation of dreams even in the presence of Pharaoh which could have been an opportunity for him. God conformed Joseph into the character of Christ in all those waiting periods. Saw Rom8:29 in another light today…Always stopped at vs 28
What if there is something God wants to emphasize in my life to conform me in the image of his son in my waiting season🥺

Joseph would have been so shocked “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream” couldn’t have been realer

I keep thinking about what could have gone through Potiphar’s mind post Joseph’s appointment because they would be in meetings together probably and Joseph was now in a higher position than him lol😂

Thank you so much Pastor Guzik, I was so blessed as always❤

Another great video 📹 David & thank you for sharing. 😁
I'm still constantly going back & watching the one on Genesis 36.
I swear that one day I'll have all the correct pronunciations of those old Hebrew names, hahaha. 😃
Meanwhile, another big thumbs up 👍 & a big 'Hello' 👋 from Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

If Joseph was 17 when he was sold into slavery and 30 when he was brought before pharaoh then for 13 long horrible years Joseph suffered but with one shower and shave God lifted him up to rule. Praise God!

Do you think Asenath believed in God? Given Joseph's grounded faith, I wonder what her beliefs were, coming from Egypt.
