Joseph’s character development in the grace of God is the climactic ‘type’ of the Book of Genesis in the progressive prophetic revealing of the Character of Jesus the Christ. (Jesus said in John 5:46… “For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.” Moses wrote of Jesus in Deuteronomy 18:15, declaring to the Hebrews that “The Lord thy God will raise up unto thee a Prophet from the midst of thee, of thy brethren, like unto me; unto him ye shall hearken.” Although Moses doesn’t specifically mention Jesus’ name, the first five books of the Bible clearly speak of Him. These books written by Moses, as given from God, are filled with countless allusions to Jesus by the means of types and shadows.)

In the last chapter (Chapter 38), Judah’s having forsaken his calling in joining himself with the Canaanites reflects the harlotry of the Jews for the last 2000 years, and Joseph’s story as a servant in Egypt begins at the end of that chapter. Joseph coming down to Egypt, in type, is reflecting the work of the Lord coming down in His incarnation, into this World 2000 years ago. “Who being in the form of God… made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men…” [Philippians 2:6-7] And as Joseph, in the type, was the beloved of the father, Jesus is seen in the Anti-type having the favor of God… “And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.” (Luke 2:52) Noteworthy is that all the Master’s/the Father’s possessions in this Realm, gain or loss, were placed in the Son of Man’s hands. All in the ‘house’ of his children and all the Gentiles in the ‘field.’ (“The earth is the LORD's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.” - Psalm 24:1) As seen in the beautiful coat that his father had given him, Joseph was highly esteemed in his father’s house and all the possessions of Potiphar were given to this ‘servant’ Joseph. Likewise, all was entrusted to the Son of Man’s hand by the Father, which encompassed everything.

Joseph and Christ both came alone, as foreigners, and were faced with great and persistent temptation, ending in false accusations designed by their accusers to remove them from their standing with God. Satan wanted to stop the promised seed (Joseph being the firstborn inheritor and from whom the promised Seed would come), so when the temptations failed, he used the tactic of false accusations against Joseph… and then also against Jesus when his temptations had failed with Him… See Matthew 26:59-60… “Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death; But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses…” Joseph and Jesus both suffered the wrath of their master/Master for sin… although not guilty, and both suffered the penalty for what they were accused of without resistance. Jesus, the Son of Man, was persistently tempted by the god of this World (satan even offered Him all this World… all its unimaginable sensuality, all its inconceivable power and glory, to be granted without opposition, and its certain continuity in that all was given forever into His hands)… yet, He was without sin. “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.”

The first Adam had no sin nature, being made in the image of God, yet he sinned when tempted by satan, lost the image of God in God-consciousness, and took on the nature of self-consciousness/self-centerednesss. And he was thereby disqualified from that for which he was created… that of ruling over God’s Theocratic Government to be in this Realm. 4000 years later, the Second Adam, conceived by God, born of a woman, had no sin nature and did not sin when being tempted by satan, and lived in the lost image of God as the Son of Man in the power of the Holy Spirit, answering to God’s prophetic word of Genesis 3:15. (Note: Jesus, the Son of Man, had the power to heal mankind, cast devils out, give provision, give protection, and even forgive sins (Matthew 9:6), so it was not necessary that He would have to die in order for our sins to be forgiven… so that we could ‘go to Heaven when we die!’ What Jesus’ Atonement propitiation accomplished was two things:
1) Jesus bore the eternal weight of the sin nature on....
