How The Devil Fulfills Prophecy by Trying to Stop It
Jonathan Cahn reveals one of the richest, deepest, and awesome revelations of Messiah from the book of Genesis. Drawing parallels to the story of Joseph and Yeshua, this message will open your eyes to the unseen battle and encourage you to stand strong in the face of adversity.
He emptied himself of his glory.
He stripped himself of omniscience, all knowing, of um omnipotence, all power, and to become a little helpless baby like you saw.
So Joseph is going to his brothers, and he doesn’t know it, but he’s gonna without knowing it, he’s a shadow, he’s gonna act it’s gonna kinda reenact it’s gonna act in advance the death of Messiah.
He’s coming there to his brothers.
Messiah, the Bible says, must god will send Messiah, Then it says, like, say, 53, it says it says he will be cut off out of the land of the living.
Daniel Nimes says that Messiah will come And then he will be cut off.
He will come to Jerusalem and then be cut off. Well, this is the earliest picture of that right here.
Messiah, when he were going up to Jerusalem, he said to the apostles, he said the son of man is going up there to be handed over to the gentiles who will mock him scourage him and put him to death.
Think of the parable that Messiah gave.
He said, a man sent these his servants to the vineyard, and the vineyard keep us rejected.
But finally, the man sent his own son to the vineyard. Remember that?
He sent his own son, and what did they do?
The vineyard keeper say, let’s kill the son, and we’ll have everything else.
So this was a prophecy of messiah’s coming, and this is also the it foreshadowed in Joseph.
He comes to his brothers. It’s seems like he thinks everything is gonna go well.
He’s wearing the coat of many colors or different translations or many many sleeves a co a code of authority, a code of love that that has been given to him by his fathers.
But it’s a representation because all the prophecies inside, this is something that Jewish people stumble over.
They said, well, he’s the Messiah, then he’s gonna rule the world. Well, that’s not what it says.
It says first, the first coming of Messiah, even the rabbis picked up on it.
He’s gonna come to his people, and he will be rejected. He will be despised.
So in Isaiah 33, he was despised and reject did a man, a man of czars.
And we esteemed him as struck by god. He was pierced through. He was affiliated with all this in Messiah.
Some people tried claim. Well, this is talking about Israel. It can’t be because this is Israel talking.
It’s Isaiah saying he die. He came for the sins of my people. That’s Israel.
It says in Zechariah 3, it’s it’s or Zechariah 13 says, awake awake o sword against my shepher and the man who is my associate says, lord.
Uh, again, the death of messiah’s over and over.
And that’s where the rabbi started talking about Messiah, like Joseph because they realized Joseph was kind of his was was all this was what the prophecies were saying about Messiah.
He’s gonna be rejected. If if Messiah was accepted, then he could not be the Messiah.
He was accepted by some, but not by most.
If he was, he could not accept these, well, if he was the Messiah, the judiciary would have accepted absolutely the opposite.
He had to be rejected, or he could not be the Messiah. It says that.
And he so it says it says so Jacob, the father says to the son, go see how the peace of your brothers is your shalom.
He comes on a mission to see how the shalom he says, Messiah comes on a mission of shalom, but it says here now in this story, when they saw him coming, they conspired from afar to kill him.
I mean, this is a there are some real dysfunctional families in the Bible. And this is one of them.
I mean, it’s one thing having problems.
I don’t wanna go to Joseph’s house for the holidays, but to conspire to murder him That’s very dysfunctional.
Not the first time it happened, but not it it is very dysfunctional. It is, you see, what?
I hatred. This had to be a deep gigantic hatred.
And Joseph doesn’t seem to be aware of it or realizing it, but it’s saying it so here’s a foreshadow right here.
Messiah’s gonna come, and there going to be a conspiring against him.
There’s and why over one of the reasons will be jealousy, just like it was Joseph.
It said the leaders of that time, it said, you know, the word here, actually, the word here in the account for conspired is the word Nakal, which means deception craftily, treacherously.
When Messiah came, it says the leaders conspired to kill him, and they were his brothers too.
The rabbinical writings, the writings of the rabbis say at the time of the priesthood of the house of Annis, that’s Anis, who was like the father-in-law of Kaiphus.
So that’s all part of the House of Anis. It calls it this is these are the rabbis writings.
They call it the House of whispering.
In other words, what they’re saying is there was intrigue going on when these priests were ruling. There was intrigue.
There was see, and that’s exactly what you see in the gospel.
And so they say, let us come against him, the brothers, and will stop his dreams, see what becomes of his dreams, this dreamer, see what becomes of the and by the way, they call him when it says, here comes this dreamer, In Hebrew, the word is master of dreams.
Who is this? Here he comes the lord of dreams, the master of dreams, which You can say it’s another shadow of Messiah.
Also, the lord of dreams, lord of broken dreams, the lord of restored dreams.
But here, they say, let’s see what’s gonna happen.
We’re gonna stop those dreams yet by coming against him and putting him first, they throw him into a pit They drove him into a well with no water, and then they sell him off and send him away to Egypt.
Gone. But by trump by seeking to stop the dreams from coming true, they’re actually sending him to Egypt where he’s gonna end up becoming the savior of Egypt and the savior of that whole world back then and it’s gonna bring about the very dream that Joseph had.
Well, that says something. That’s also a foreshadow.
Because Messiah, think of all the people and all the things and the and the enemy who came against Messiah, ultimately to the to the point where they arrested him and crucified him.
To stop him. And yet, it was by trying to stop him and coming against him and crucifying him that ended up bringing about the redemption of the world.
So so just the same way, the very things they try to solve, and what did Joseph say at the end when we’re not gonna be there.
We’re just doing this little park because there’s so much in it, but at the end, he says to the brothers, you you did this for evil.
But god intended it all for good. And that’s a that that’s also about everything in Messiah.
The power of Messiah is to turn everything that is evil into good.
And so Joseph is the embodiment of that.
So Joseph innocent he walks to his brothers like a lamb to the slaughter, as it says.
And as David III, he was led innocent. There was no guilt in him yet.
He He was led like a lamb to the slaughter. He comes to his brothers, and it goes on.
It says, let let’s just read how this all happened. 1st 21.
Ruben, he’s the first born of Leah, the first born of all of them, heard that they were trying.
They were gonna kill him, and he rescued him out of their hands, said, don’t, let’s not take his life.
Ruben further said to them, don’t shed blood, but throw him into this pit in the wilderness, but don’t lay a hand on him, that he might rest cue him out of their hands.
So so Rubin’s actually trying to do good here.
And so that’s why they put him in there to restore him to his father.
So it came out when Joseph reached his brothers, they stripped him of his tudic, the multicolored coat that was on him and they threw him into the pit.
Now the pit was empty without any water. What did they do here?
They trip him of his coat, this coat of many colors. What does it represent?
Well, it’s similar to to to Joseph and to the family, it was the it was a symbol of the honored one.
The one who had the authority. He’s like the first born, even, you know, to to them he’s given authority.
This is the this is the code of the chief Tim, the the the son of the chief Tim.
Uh, and so how is this a sim this is a symbol of Messiah.
Messiah is the 1st born of god. Messiah is the beloved of god.
Sigh is the glorious one of god.
It says that god is around god is a a throne of, you see the colors of the rainbow around him.
All the color Well, this is symbol of the glory of god, and yet it says that that it says Messiah, though he was equal into god, he emptied himself of his glory.
He stripped himself of omniscient all knowing.
Of omnipotence all power and to become a little helpless baby like you saw. Hi.
