Caption transcript for Joseph: Dreamer/Redeemer — “Innocence and Accusation” (3/9)

• 00:31 From the pit to the palace,
• 00:34 from certain death to abundant life,
• 00:37 Joseph the patriarch
• 00:40 who pictures Messiah.
• 00:53 Shalom and welcome to our program, I'm Myles Weiss
• 00:55 and I'm Katharine Weiss.
• 00:57 And we want to welcome you to
• 00:58 Joseph - Dreamer / Redeemer
• 01:00 You know Joseph is one of the most perfect pictures of the life of Yeshua .
• 01:04 It's really true.
• 01:05 We've seen in the series so far that both Joseph and Jesus
• 01:09 were beloved of their father,
• 01:10 they're both shepherds,
• 01:12 they both were sent to their brothers,
• 01:14 they were rejected by their brothers.
• 01:16 And now we're about to see Joseph become a key player
• 01:19 in the redemption of the Jewish people and also the known world at that time.
• 01:23 A Hebrew was sent by his father to be the bread of life.
• 01:28 It says in Psalm 105:17...
• 01:35 ...that he would be able to preserve them.
• 01:37 Sometimes it comes into our life; a dream or a word
• 01:41 and it feels like it's this most amazing thing is going to happen
• 01:44 but before that there's the trying of the person.
• 01:48 And that's what happened to Joseph.
• 01:50 The Word of the LORD tried him until it was the appointed time.
• 01:54 And we see this parallel also in the Hebrew language.
• 01:58 It says (Speaking Hebrew)
• 02:02 Which means "I delight to do your will O God".
• 02:05 And Joseph, while going through these trials, is going to wind up doing the will of God
• 02:09 Just as David's greater Son, Yeshua will do the will of God
• 02:13 as well to redeem the whole world.
• 02:15 So let's pick up our story right now as Joseph goes to Egypt.
• 02:24 The caravan of traders was bound for Egypt with Joseph in tow.
• 02:29 His jealous brothers had reasoned it was a good way
• 02:33 to make some money and rid the family of this crazed dreamer.
• 02:37 It would be a long journey from the green pastures of the Patriarchs
• 02:42 to the foreign sands of the Pharaoh.
• 02:49 Once in Egypt Joseph would once again be sold
• 02:53 Now to be a slave of Potiphar, the Captain of Pharaoh's guard.
• 03:00 The story of Joseph is such a story of the struggle between good and evil.
• 03:05 And it's such a picture of Yeshua as a young man, as the suffering servant.
• 03:11 And then it would become the story of the coming king, the ruling king.
• 03:16 You know there is a conspiracy that we've been seeing here.
• 03:18 The brothers have conspired against Joseph.
• 03:21 They've thrown him in a pit.
• 03:22 And it really parallels the conspiracy in Matthew 12:14
• 03:27 where the Pharisees came to Yeshua and tried to trick him.
• 03:31 But you know, there's even an earlier one.
• 03:32 I mean, how did Joseph get down here to Egypt?
• 03:36 They sold him into slavery.
• 03:39 He was put in a pit; he was sold to the Ishmaelites who brought him to Egypt.
• 03:43 And you know what's interesting Katharine,
• 03:45 that the Bible tells us that when Yeshua was a baby
• 03:50 his parents had to take him down to Egypt
• 03:52 in order to avoid the Herodian mandate to kill every baby under 2 years old.
• 03:59 And so the son comes up out of Egypt, the Son of God.
• 04:04 And so it is with Joseph the son, is going to come up out of Egypt as a ruler.
• 04:09 You know Egypt figures so importantly in the history of Israel.
• 04:13 In fact, the future of the area includes a highway of holiness
• 04:17 in Isaiah 19 between Egypt, Assyria and Israel.
• 04:20 And so here we are in Egypt as Joseph was thrown in the pit by his brothers
• 04:25 and then sold to the Ishmaelites and then sold to the Egyptians.
• 04:28 These brothers were so full
• 04:30 of hate towards their brother
• 04:32 that they almost killed him.
• 04:35 But thank God they decided to throw him into a pit.
• 04:37 The twenty shekels is not an accident.
• 04:40 It says in Leviticus 27
• 04:43 that there's a special vow
• 04:45 that is given for twenty shekels
• 04:48 And you know, they thought that were selling him off.
• 04:51 But God was ransoming Joseph for a purpose;
• 04:55 and a purpose that was beyond him.
• 04:57 It is amazing.
• 04:59 There is a vow of consecration in Leviticus 27
• 05:01 that speaks about different ages of people that will be consecrated to the LORD
• 05:05 and the valuation that there are to be paid to the Temple for their consecration.
• 05:10 And here we have Joseph who was sold for twenty shekels
• 05:14 which is the exact amount that someone his age would be valued.
• 05:18 And so the brothers think they are getting rid of him
• 05:21 but really if you look at it from God's point of view
• 05:24 God is saying, okay, you consecrated him to me
• 05:27 and I'm going to have my way in his life.
• 05:30 And that is really a lesson for us.
• 05:33 When people do us wrong and even would throw us in a pit,
• 05:37 God has a plan to redeem us and to bring us into our destiny
• 05:41 if we keep trusting him and not turn our back on him.
• 05:45 There's such a conspiracy here.
• 05:48 The brethren are just like the Pharisees would be with Jesus.
• 05:50 Conspiring just like Herod conspiring to kill the babies of Israel.
• 05:55 And they have to go to Egypt...
• 05:57 Mary and Joseph have to go to Egypt.
• 05:58 And now here he is coming up out of Egypt.
• 06:01 Joseph's words were disbelieved.
• 06:03 They just didn't believe his words, the dreams that God gave him.
• 06:05 Just like when Yeshua was speaking and the Pharisees say,
• 06:09 Well "if" you're the Son of God,
• 06:10 or "if" this or that.
• 06:12 And they would dispute what he was saying.
• 06:13 And it's just such an amazing parallel
• 06:17 because the brothers did not want to do the dirty work themselves.
• 06:20 And so they settled on selling him to the Ishmaelites
• 06:24 just as Yeshua was sold off to the Romans by the Jewish brothers.
• 06:28 And so we see this secret history with God is building in Joseph's life.
• 06:34 He's about to be made a servant.
• 06:37 And we remember that Yeshua is spoken of in that way.
• 06:40 In fact, Philippians 2 tells us
• 06:48 who being equal with God thought it not robbery to be equal with God.
• 06:52 And yet made Himself of no reputation
• 06:54 and was obedient to death, even the death of the cross.
• 06:58 And therefore, God has exalted Him with the Name above every Name.
• 07:02 We have to go through the pit sometimes to get to the palace.
• 07:07 We're seeing that in Joseph's life
• 07:09 and we're going to see that paralleling in the life of Yeshua as well.
• 07:27 Our offer on this program...
• 07:29 Zola Levitt's booklet,
• 07:31 "The Seven Feasts of Israel"
• 07:33 as well as the popular companion booklets,
• 07:35 "The Miracle of Passover"
• 07:37 the crown jewel of Biblical Feasts,
• 07:39 and "A Christian Love Story"
• 07:42 a beautiful story of the wedding customs of Israel
• 07:44 in Messiah's time.
• 07:46 Ask for "The Feast Package"
• 07:48 You'll find these booklets
• 07:49 to be striking examples
• 07:51 of the types and shadows
• 07:52 of the Messiah, Yeshua .
• 07:54 Information well worth knowing.
• 08:02 Joseph does well in the house of Potiphar.
• 08:06 His master sees that God is with this young man from Canaan
• 08:10 because all that Joseph did worked for the good.
• 08:14 So Potiphar makes Joseph his personal aide, overseer of all his affairs.
• 08:20 And from that day forth God blessed the home and all the fields of Potiphar.
• 08:33 Joseph is brought into Potiphar's house as a servant.
• 08:37 And everything he puts his hand to prospers.
• 08:41 And in fact he's known and noted
• 08:43 as someone who has just done those wonders for the house of Potiphar.
• 08:47 No matter what he did.
• 08:48 He says even the field or in the house...whatever.
• 08:52 And I think of that scripture,
• 08:54 that God would cause us to be blessed when we're...
• 08:56 Even in our fields, and our baskets would be overflowing.
• 08:59 Because he did not turn his heart away from the LORD
• 09:03 and he turned it towards God and the dream that God had given him
• 09:06 despite what he was facing,
• 09:09 despite what he had overcome,
• 09:11 he kept on going.
• 09:13 And I think he might have even had to lay everything down
• 09:15 and just say, God, you know I am in this house
• 09:17 and whatever I do I want to give you glory.
• 09:20 So we learn the favor.
• 09:22 He increased in favor just like Jesus increased in favor.
• 09:25 And just like us.
• 09:26 God wants to pattern us the same as Jesus and Joseph.
• 09:32 No matter what the circumstances
• 09:34 that we can cause others to prosper and we will prosper there as well.
• 09:37 It reminds me of the Scripture in Isaiah 52:13
• 09:40 That speaks about
• 09:41 the LORD's hand was on Yeshua.
• 09:43 that even going up to Isaiah 53
• 09:45 when he will be crushed at the cross.
• 09:47 There's something about it that pleased the Father and pleases the LORD in that servant hood.
• 09:52 Right.
• 09:54 What happens is he's in the suffering but now he's in prosperity.
• 09:57 He's in Potiphar's house, he's blessed, everything he puts his hands to is blessed.
• 10:01 And he's a handsome man it says from his face and in his features.
• 10:06 It says a goodly man.
• 10:07 In face and features, yes.
• 10:09 And so Potiphar's wife takes a look at him and says, I want you.
• 10:13 And that is what happens.
• 10:15 And that's what happens so many times in our life
• 10:18 when we are elevated to a place of authority
• 10:21 that the enemy wants to come in through the "I" gate, or through the "lust" gate.
• 10:26 And wants to pull down the purpose.
• 10:28 And thanks be to God that caused Joseph to be able to be steadfast
• 10:35 and to leave his cloak behind as she tempted.
• 10:39 Yeah, she's trying to seduce him.
• 10:41 And in that seduction he acts righteously.
• 10:44 And reminds me again of Yeshua who was tempted in all things, yet without sin.
• 10:49 And Joseph acts that way.
• 10:51 He acts in a righteous manner.
• 10:52 He flees youthful lusts.
• 10:54 He's careful not to have anything to do with her.
• 10:56 And then he is, like Jesus, falsely accused.
• 10:59 Right, and thrown into the pit again in Potiphar's pit.
• 11:04 But God has a plan there.
• 11:06 We start to see the beginning of this "crown making" taking place
• 11:10 Remember he goes from his family, the Patriarchs, into the pit, then to Potiphar's house.
• 11:16 And now he is going to go back into prison and there's more to come.
• 11:19 An interesting thing that also parallels Jesus is that
• 11:23 Joseph did not defend himself.
• 11:25 Just as Yeshua stood before Pilot, stood before Herod.
• 11:29 And like a lamb to the slaughter he did not defend himself, he just let this unfold.
• 11:33 Can you imagine being able to do that?
• 11:35 It's hard for me to imagine.
• 11:37 But he did not defend himself and he allowed it to become what it needed to become.
• 11:41 And this is amazing to me.
• 11:43 But the word for "overseer";
• 11:46 because he became the overseer of everything that Potiphar had,
• 11:49 all the prosperity that had been brought to Potiphar,
• 11:52 that word "overseer" is just one Hebrew letter away from " Meshiach ".
• 11:56 And so there's a connection between the Anointed One
• 11:59 and the one who's in charge of someone's household.
• 12:03 And so now we see Joseph is going into prison and our story continues from there.

• 13:39 Joseph is about to be tested again by the Word.
• 13:43 Scripture says in Psalm 105...
• 13:47 And that's what we're seeing happen.
• 13:49 And he's going to come up as a righteous man.
• 13:51 We're going to see righteousness in him that is arising.
• 13:54 It reminds me of the Shabbat Service where I will pray
• 13:58 Proverbs 31, "A Virtuous Woman" over you.
• 14:01 And you'll pray Psalm 1 over me that I would be
• 14:04 a man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the ungodly.
• 14:07 Joseph is going to exemplify that.
• 14:09 And it goes on in that very Psalm and it talks about that that man will prosper.
• 14:14 And because of his commitment to God,
• 14:17 whatever God gave him,
• 14:19 whatever came against him,
• 14:21 God caused him to prosper.
• 14:23 It also says Myles, that in Potiphar's house he rose like cream.
• 14:28 It's not what comes at you
• 14:30 but it's how we respond to it.
• 14:32 And you know that word is controversial.
• 14:34 We want you to understand that we're not speaking about some magical prosperity.
• 14:38 We're talking about a disciplined Godly way of succeeding
• 14:42 because of doing things God's way, right?
• 14:44 Absolutely
• 14:45 And that's what Joseph exemplifies.
• 14:47 It reminds me of the...
• 14:49 One of the things that happens in this passage that's a slight
• 14:51 departure from the parallels between Joseph and Jesus
• 14:55 is that when Joseph was tested by Potiphar's wife,
• 14:58 as we'll see, the garment was left behind.
• 15:00 But when Jesus was tempted by Satan in Matthew 4:10,
• 15:04 Satan went away.
• 15:06 And so we see the difference of scope there
• 15:08 between the human and the Divine.
• 15:10 Well let's pick up our story
• 15:12 as Joseph continues his life in Egypt.
• 15:22 Despite God's blessings there was trouble brewing in the house of Potiphar.
• 15:27 Potiphar's wife had taken a peculiar liking to Joseph.
• 15:31 But so far, he had refused all of her coy invitations.
• 15:37 Perhaps, she thought to herself, this time it would be different.
• 15:42 But once again, Joseph refuses to violate Potiphar's trust.
• 15:47 He would not sin against his God.
• 15:50 Enraged by yet another rejection
• 15:53 her screams summoned a nearby guard
• 15:56 who pursues Joseph and throws him into jail
• 15:59 where he joins other prisoners from Pharaoh's court.
• 16:17 Joseph is in prison.
• 16:20 And even in prison after he was tempted but was without sin
• 16:24 just as Yeshua was tempted but was without sin,
• 16:26 I John 3:5 and Hebrews 2:18
• 16:29 we realize that there's not one word in the Torah spoken against Joseph.
• 16:35 And that's phenomenal because the Patriarchs, let's face it,
• 16:37 are family line, our family history is full of " meshugas ", full of "craziness".
• 16:41 There's difficulty, there's sin, there's ups and downs.
• 16:45 But Joseph has a pretty good report, doesn't he?
• 16:47 Well God has a plan and he's going to use Joseph as a type of Jesus.
• 16:51 And that's what we've been saying.
• 16:52 And what we want to also convey
• 16:54 is that the LORD through his grace can give us that same testimony
• 16:58 through the power of our Messiah.
• 17:00 Yeah, you know I keep harping on this but the truth is that,
• 17:02 you think about this,
• 17:04 I believe Potiphar understood that his wife was trying to entrap Joseph
• 17:09 because it really parallels what Pilate did.
• 17:12 Pilate said, I find no fault in this man; and yet he handed him over
• 17:17 because he just wanted to get rid of the problem, to save face.
• 17:20 I think Potiphar was in a similar position.
• 17:23 Well he could have killed him right at that moment.
• 17:26 But he didn't kill him.
• 17:28 Because I think there was some loyalty there.
• 17:30 He just simply put him in a prison.
• 17:32 And put him in a prison for 2 years.
• 17:34 And then these 2 men come... the baker and the butler.
• 17:38 Myles - yeah, the butler and the baker come in.
• 17:40 And think about this...
• 17:41 In the pit, in the prison, Joseph even in the prison;
• 17:45 he wins the respect of the jailer.
• 17:47 The jailer's testimony is that this is a man
• 17:52 that I can put in charge of all the other prisoners.
• 17:55 It's hard to imagine!
• 17:56 This kind of integrity, this kind of wonder
• 17:58 that this Joseph is growing in stature and favor with God and man.
• 18:03 And he wins the respect of the jailer.
• 18:05 And it reminds me again of the New Testament where the centurion at the cross says,
• 18:10 truly this was the Son of God.
• 18:13 There's something about the recognition of spiritual authority,
• 18:17 the recognition of the anointing that's on Joseph
• 18:20 and that is on, of course, Yeshua Ha Meshiach .
• 18:23 So we're seeing these parallels.
• 18:25 And the butler and the baker are put into prison.
• 18:28 And the story is going to lead us into a "hope so"
• 18:31 that they will stand for Joseph,
• 18:33 that they will bring his testimony before Pharaoh.
• 18:37 We're going to see how dreams got Joseph into this situation.
• 18:41 And dreams will get him out.
• 18:43 That's good.
• 18:45 Joseph is the dreamer.
• 18:47 He is the dreamer who dreams big dreams that are beyond his ability.
• 18:51 And God is going to give him authority over the entire known world at the time.
• 18:57 And again, a parallel with Yeshua who is the King of kings and the LORD of Lords.
• 19:03 (Speaking Hebrew)
• 19:06 He is the "Suffering Servant", "Messiah Ben Joseph"
• 19:10 who is returning as "Meshiach Ben David".
• 19:14 And the story of Jesus is those two parts of who he is
• 19:18 and one identity are both true
• 19:22 that he has come as a suffering servant to die in our place
• 19:26 and he's returning as the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah".
• 19:36 In Canaan he had been despised and rejected by his brothers.
• 19:42 He had been sold to the Ishmaelites,
• 19:45 sold again to the Egyptians,
• 19:50 and now this.
• 19:52 Would the God of his fathers show mercy?
• 19:56 Could justice be served within the stone walls of an Egyptian prison?

• 20:44 Well Zola Levitt Ministries

• 20:47 for more than 35 years.
• 20:48 And we'll continue
• 20:50 with your support.
• 20:52 Your gifts of financial support
• 20:54 is what enables us to do this.
• 20:56 We want to remind you
• 20:57 there's 3 ways...
• 20:58 online
• 20:59 through the mail
• 21:00 or just give us a phone call.
• 21:01 and Thank you!
• 21:06 The Bible is full of instruction for us
• 21:08 in how to live our life in our current circumstance.
• 21:12 No matter where we're at
• 21:14 if it's a good one or if it's a bad one He gives us his wisdom.
• 21:18 And you know I think more and more about the life of Joseph.
• 21:21 God can give us so many chances to relate to him.
• 21:23 We might not have been sold into slavery
• 21:25 or offered up to go on down to Egypt, sent by his brothers.
• 21:33 But we might have been betrayed by somebody that has been very close to us,
• 21:38 somebody that we've held dear.
• 21:40 It's harder to overcome that in a way.
• 21:44 But we can gain strength that the LORD said that he will
• 21:47 help us to overcome and to forgive those that have betrayed us.
• 21:51 And we do see that played out in the life of Joseph over and over again.
• 21:55 And it's instructional for us.
• 21:57 Right, I know I've had a close friend in my own life betray me.
• 22:01 And it's not until you see...
• 22:05 They might have meant it for evil but God's going to use it for good.
• 22:08 Because He is working his character in us.
• 22:11 He's working his love in us.
• 22:13 And it's that love that flows through us when we can forgive.
• 22:16 That's really good.
• 22:18 We are made into Yeshua 's likeness and image every time we forgive.
• 22:22 So, we're going to hear a great message from Eitan Shishkoff.
• 22:26 He is a leader in the Messianic movement in Haifa and throughout Israel and the world.
• 22:32 He is the leader of "Tents of Mercy" ministry
• 22:34 and has a very widespread touch with the Israelis.
• 22:38 So let's go to Eitan right now.
• 22:41 The life of Joseph provides us
• 22:43 with some fascinating parallels
• 22:45 with the nation of Israel.
• 22:47 I'd like to touch on some of those parallels in the time that we have together.
• 22:52 From the Torah, the Books of Moses,
• 22:55 all the way through the Prophets
• 22:57 we see that God's promise is to Israel for blessing and for multiplication.
• 23:02 We begin to see that all the way back in the Book of Genesis
• 23:06 where God promises Abraham that he will become the father of many nations
• 23:12 and that God will make him exceedingly fruitful.
• 23:16 On in to the Prophetic Books that speak about the destiny
• 23:19 of Israel as a people in the Land of Israel.
• 23:23 And that even after exile we will return
• 23:26 and God will place a blessing upon us; even eternal blessing.
• 23:31 In the life of Joseph we see this promise early in his life.
• 23:36 And interestingly we're also going to be talking about
• 23:39 the fact that that promise is delayed.
• 23:41 There's an exile, just as in the life of Israel.
• 23:44 So what I want to really focus on right now is this concept of "prophetic promise"
• 23:52 which is so clear both in the life of Joseph and in the life of Israel.
• 23:57 The Scriptures are very strong in the fact that
• 24:03 there's a parallel between Jesus-Yeshua; and Israel
• 24:09 in where Hosea says,
• 24:15 and what God is saying here is
• 24:17 both for Israel;
• 24:19 Israel will come out of Egypt as a people,
• 24:22 and Yeshua who was taken to Egypt by his parents and then brought back.
• 24:26 This is also true of Joseph.
• 24:28 Because we see in Genesis 39, it says..
• 24:34 Of course he was only taken back to the Promised Land in the form of his bones.
• 24:38 But there's a beautiful repetition and a beautiful rehearsal here
• 24:42 which really helps us to understand the purposes of God.
• 24:46 And in fact, that is what I believe the story of Joseph
• 24:49 will help us to see the history of Israel in miniature in a condensed form.
• 24:55 And I look forward to bringing the next episodes where we will
• 25:00 speak as the history of Israel unfolds reflected in the life of Joseph.
• 25:08 Well brother Eitan did such a wonderful job of creating
• 25:11 an overview of the making of a man of God,
• 25:14 how it parallels not only the restoration of the life of Israel
• 25:17 but also for us individually,
• 25:19 how we are brought into Yeshua 's likeness and image
• 25:22 by the things that we suffer, by setbacks that we have.
• 25:25 I know for us, that I've had many, many years as a counselor
• 25:29 as a licensed therapist and helping people to find that way
• 25:32 of turning their difficulty, turning their suffering
• 25:35 into something beautiful that God can use.
• 25:38 That's one of the great joys of our lives.
• 25:40 Right, and it's the Word of God that helps us through these times
• 25:42 and it says, again the Word of God tried Joseph.
• 25:46 And he was in the pit, he's in the prison
• 25:50 and we know he's going somewhere
• 25:52 just like you are in your life.
• 25:53 You might feel like you're in a pit.
• 25:55 Or you might feel imprisoned.
• 25:57 Or you might even feel like your feet are shackled.
• 25:59 But you are going somewhere.
• 26:00 God has a destiny for you, he has a plan.
• 26:03 And not only in this life but in the life to come.
• 26:06 There will be so much amazing joy as we go through those pearly gates.
• 26:11 I can't wait but I know I have a purpose here and that goes for you too.
• 26:15 So when we go through the valley
• 26:18 let us remember that God is with us.
• 26:21 It's really true.
• 26:22 Think about this, that Joseph even had someone like Potiphar
• 26:26 whose legal right it would have been to have him killed
• 26:29 just as Pilate legally could have had Yeshua killed.
• 26:33 But both of them had this doubt because of the righteousness that they saw.
• 26:36 Think about Potiphar, instead of killing Joseph, put him in prison
• 26:39 which is terrible but not as bad as death.
• 26:42 And Pilate said, I find no fault in this man.
• 26:45 Pilate had that same doubt as well.
• 26:47 There's this understanding that we're looking at something that is touched by God.
• 26:52 And both those leaders had their doubts about the punishment
• 26:58 But things played out the way they played out.
• 27:00 Thank God that Yeshua voluntarily went to the cross
• 27:03 for your sin and my sin.
• 27:04 Absolutely.
• 27:05 Especially for my sin.
• 27:06 And so we're grateful to the LORD for providing salvation for us.
