INTRODUCTIONJoseph, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, the son of Isaac, the son of Abraham.An average enough, 12-13 yr.-old youth, in his father's fields keeping the sheep, and working the crops to help the family survive a harsh environment surrounded by heathen people who knew not the true God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, but the heathen around them worshipped the false gods of the heathen nations. Joseph's family worshipped Jehovah, the one true God, in the midst of the pagan religions of the Caananites. Joseph was loved with a special love of his father, who bore him in his old age. It was a miracle that he was even born at all; his mother was barren for the first twenty years of her marriage to Joseph's father, Jacob; his father was old, but God had mercy and allowed Rachel to bear Joseph, and Joseph's brother Benjamin. God was with Joseph even as a youth and gave him dreams of the future so that God's will could be done in regards to the nation Israel. His father Jacob had four wives, and Joseph had ten half-brothers from these other wives. He had half-brothers to contend with every day; they envied Joseph because of the special place that his father Jacob had given him above the others. He was arrayed in a special coat, he was given dreams from God that told future events, the half-brothers hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.They sold Joseph into slavery, into Egypt, and there he stayed for 17 years during which God worked all things out for his good and the good of Israel. During this time Joseph was falsely accused of sexual misconduct, he was placed in a prison, and while serving in the prison he interpreted dreams that two officers of Pharaoh's house had dreamed, and eventually he was taken from the prison, to the court of Pharaoh to interpret Pharaoh's dreams. Pharaoh placed him in the palace to rule over all of Egypt, at the side of Pharaoh, the greatest world power of that time. God caused a famine to come upon the world, Jacob's ten sons travelled to Egypt to buy corn, and unbeknown to them they came face to face with Joseph, the brother that they had placed in a pit for three days, raised him out of the pit, and sold him into slavery. What they meant for evil, God meant for good. Joseph preserved the brothers, his father, and all that he had, and provided for the small remnant of Israelites to keep them alive.This is the story of Joseph, the ninth son of Jacob, who God used to save the world.Joseph is the greatest type of Christ in the scripture. The Lord Jesus Christ was sent from the Father, became the saviour of all men, the saviour of the world, and all one needs to do in order to be saved themselves is the trust Jesus' finished work on Calvary, his death, his burial, his resurrection, and his ascension. Bow the knee! From the pit to the prison, from the prison to the palace; a vailed picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, himself God in the flesh, sent from the Father to be the Saviour of the world. Bless his holy name.This book endeavors to show the places in Joseph's life that reflect and foreshadow the life of the Son of God, whom God sent to seek the lost, pay the price necessary for the redemption of mankind, and to be the Saviour of the world.This book is to be referenced as a companion to, and not a substitute for, your King James Holy Bible, the word and words of the living God, preserved perfect for you in these last days.Jesus is soon to return, are you ready to come face to face with the one who loved you and gave himself for you?
