Theme of the parashah
Joseph forgives and sustains his brothers.
Finding Messiah in Triennial Shivtey Yisrael
“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.” Gen 50:20
The statement of fact which Joseph makes in Gen 50:20 is a repeating theme, first mentioned by him in Gen 45:5.
“Now therefore do not be grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.” Gen 45:5
In order to accomplish the saving of many lives, which Joseph sets as the greater good than his own personal comfort, he needed to go through many years of hardship, to position him in the right place at the right time.
Joseph’s life is a prophetic metaphor for the life and ministry of Messiah Yeshua, in that in Messiah’s first coming, He was to suffer and die, which the enemy meant for evil, but which was necessary for the saving of many lives. And in Messiah’s second coming, it will be to rule and reign, also foreshadowed by the life of Joseph as the ruler over all Egypt.
