December 24th, 2023 VAI'YI'GASH-Shabbat (Draw closer to God, believer in Goshen)

In this portion, from beginning to end, it is about the revealing of Messiah to His people when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers is a strong shadow of when Messiah Y'shua (Jesus) will reveal Himself to the whole nation of Israel. An event yet to come. Joseph and his brothers will draw closer to each other than they have ever been. All of Jacob's family came to Egypt and Joseph provided everything they needed with the permission of Pharoah. They came to Goshen which means to draw closer. We all need to draw closer to God through the coming days when we would not be able to withstand the evil and darkness unless we were very close to God, through Messiah.
