Since the beginning of the new school year in September 2015, Rev Foster has been asked to speak at two morning assembly meetings each week. His theme for 2015-16 is DV, "Pictures of Christ in the Bible." Seventh Picture of Christ - Joseph Genesis 41-42 Four wonderful likeness to events in Joseph's day and the end of this age. 1. God caused Joseph to become the focus of everyone's attention. "And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do," Genesis 41:25. The famine was of God. The distress amongst the nations came about as God put His hand upon them. "And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory," Luke 21:25-27. As every eye turned to Joseph so the Lord will yet turn men's thoughts to Christ as they tremble in fear. 2. Notice the words of Joseph were unknown to his brethren. "And they knew not that Joseph understood them; for he spake unto them by an interpreter," Genesis 42:23. To this day, the words of the Lord Jesus are not understood by Israel. "But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart 2 Cor 3:14-15.
