Joseph\u2019s Brothers Didn\u2019t Recognize Him as Their Savior (Gen 42\u201344)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph\u2019s brothers didn\u2019t recognize that Joseph was their savior (from famine). Prophetically, and in our time, most Jews neither recognize Christians (the descendants of Ephraim and Manasseh) as their brothers, nor that the Jesus of Christianity is their Savior who will supply spiritual food for which their hearts are longing (but not finding in rabbinical Judaism), a that he died to redeem them from their sins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Scriptures prophecy that this spiritual blindness would occur to many of the children of Israel, including the Jews. We read about this in Isaiah 8:14 and Romans 11:25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Concept of Deliverance Through Substitution (Gen 42:17\u201319, 24)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joseph made known to his brothers a way of deliverance through substitution in that they would all be saved if Simeon were held back for ransom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continuing our comparison between Joseph and Yeshua, what religious people-group in the last two thousand years has been making known to the world the way of deliverance through the substitutionary (sacrificial, blood atonement) work of Messiah Yeshua the Son of Joseph at the cross of Calvary? The Jews or the Christians? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, even though Joseph suggested that substitution be made so that the brothers might live (verse 19), it was Judah who ended up laying down his life as a ransom for Benjamin, his youngest brother, by becoming surety for him (Gen 44:32\u201334). In prophetic fulfilment of this antitype, we see that it was Yeshua the Messiah, son of Joseph, who descended from Judah, and who offered to lay down his life that his brothers (you and me) might live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Judah\u2019s actions are antetypical of those of Yeshua the Messiah in the following areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
