Bible Question: What are the Similarities of Josephs life and Jesus' life? |
Bible Answer: This list is taken from "Dispensational Truth" (1918), by Clarence Larkin.He notes these events in Joseph's life as a "type of Christ:" 1. Taken to Egypt 2. Tempted and overcame 3. Savior of the world 4. Rejected by his brethren 5. Sold for 20 pieces of silver 6. Interceded for his brethren 7. Got his bride (gentile) before the famine (tribulation) 8. Reveals himself to his brethren and is accepted (I found it interesting that I had to correct Larkin's spelling of "brethern" to brethren! They didn't have "spell check" in 1918 and this list was actually handwritten.) |
