Expository Study: Genesis

We see Joseph endure trials and temptation beyond what most of us will ever have to endure and, yet, he is a type and shadow of one who endured much WORSE in the person of Jesus Christ! Being reminded of this is a source of encouragement to us and a reminder of His great love. Also Reference: Hebrews 4:15, Hebrews 12:1-3 https://bbfohio.com

We continue to see Jesus in the types and shadows found in the life of Joseph as found in the Book of Genesis. Adopted and lauded for wisdom and given authority over his own house. Also Reference: Mark 6:2-3, Hebrews 3:6, Psalm 40:7, Hebrews 10:7 https://bbfohio.com

Also Reference: Hebrews 13:11-13, John 8:32 https://bbfohio.com

Jacob (Israel) is dying. In this chapter, he speaks his last words in prophecy about each of his sons. In this study we review some information about the close of chapter 48, the reference by Israel to his prophecy looking toward "the last days", and then we begin our study of Israel's prophecies in verses 3-4 with Reuben. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob is preparing his "last will and testament", beginning with Joseph and his two sons. It's a very touching scene of an aged, loving father and grandfather spending some of his last moments with his son and to grandsons. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

We will see the manner in which Joseph saves lives in Egypt by distributing the food, but also confiscates all money and property, establishing a complete Socialist set up. This foreshadows the coming rule of Antichrist, as we explain during this study. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob meets and blessed Pharaoh. Joseph then introduces five of his brethren to Pharaoh and the "formal" presentation of the land of Goshen is made to the family of Israel. We discuss NEW archaeological discoveries made in the land of Egypt, including a recent (2017) unearthing of an unknown pyramid! We look at WHY Egyptians disrespect shepherds (and we provide a book recommendation for a resource on manners and customs on the Bible). And much more... http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob is reunited with his son, Joseph, who settles his family into Goshen. We look at the Biblical guidelines for forgiveness and reconciliation, as demonstrated by Joseph.

Archaeological evidence regarding Goshen and more about Jesus that we see in Joseph and his brethren. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

As Joseph orchestrates a "moral lesson" for his brothers, Judah steps up like a Lion as Mediator to make Intercession on behalf of his brother and offer himself as a Substitute for Benjamin, for the sake of his father! If you don't already understand the "types" found in this and just how AMAZING this is, you need to watch this study... http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The Revelation of Joseph! One of the most dramatic and touching moments in the Bible. If you can just put yourself into the story and imagine what this must have been like... http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The drama continues as Joseph "frames" Benjamin and brings his brothers to their knees one last time... http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Jacob and sons run out of "bread" and finally get around to heading BACK to Egypt. This time with Benjamin, but still without Jacob. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

We are back to Joseph and the sad but necessary story of his time with Potiphar, the lies of Potiphar's wife and the background as to HOW Joseph ended up in the king's prison house... which will lead to GREAT things for Jospeh AND for the rest of the sons of Israel and their families. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

The wagon train rolls in and Jacob arrives in Egypt. We discuss the Blood, dreams and visions versus the Book, the difficulty of packing up and moving to Mexico in your 90's, Beer in the Bible, and how this story pictures US in the world but not being OF the world... and a whole lot more. http://bbfohio.com http://bbfohioradio.com

Joseph is in prison and is joined by the Butler and Baker (but no candlestick maker) who have dreams. Joseph interprets. That's the basics. Listen to the study for a whole lot more, including more on "types", birds, parables and prophecy... http://bbfohio.com http"//bbfohioradio.com
