Finding Messiah in Triennial Va’Yosheph
There is an extraordinary number of threes in these chapters about the life of Joseph. He was made overseer three times, for his father, for Potiphar, and for the keeper of the prison; he was cast down three times, into a pit, into slavery, and into prison. We saw in chapter 37 that Joseph is a prophetic type of Messiah, three being a sign of Messiah in Torah. The prophecy of Messiah, is that just as Joseph was preeminent yet cast down, so also is Messiah.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Messiah Yeshua, who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men. And being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Phi 2:5-8
