In the following I will write about the significant similarities between Yosef and the coming Meshiach Yahshua.  It is amazing just how much the events in the lives match up.  One of the greatest truths is represented in this comparison that should shed light on one of the biggest errors of Mystery Babylon that there is.  I will move through each comparison one by one sharing scriptures that deal with both individuals. Verses related to Yosef are in black and verses related to Yahshua are blue.

Genesis 37:2 ...Yosef being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock.

Hebrews 13:20 .... Master Yahshua, that great shepherd of the sheep....

Genesis 37:2 ...and Yosef brought  the evil report of them.

John 15:22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloke for their sin.

Genesis 37:3 Now Yisrael loved Yosef more than all his children

Philippians 2:9 Wherefore YHWH also has highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.  see also Acts 2:33

Genesis 37:3 ...and made him acoat of many colors.

Note: Yahshua was given the unique role of Meshiach

Genesis 37:4 And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren and they hated him, and could not speak peaceably to him.

Mark 15:10 For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy.

Genesis 37:5-10  (v.8) And his brethren said to him, Will you indeed reign over us? Or will you indeed have dominion over us?

Matthew 21:42 Yahshua said to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Extra Note: Notice that though Yosef dreamed of reigning over his brethren that this is not what took place immediately.  For Yosef  a seemingly negative state of events would take place in his life.  Surely during this time it would seem to his brethren that his dream was folly.  However, it was these very events that were necessary in bringing to pass his reign which would in the end be a blessing to those who betrayed him.

In Meshiachs position we see the same.  It was already known that Meshiach was to reign over all Yisrael and G-ds people.  When he came and claimed such the unbelieving Jews fumed. His death would be what needed to take place first.  By this event Jews then and even Jews today reject him as having been the promised Meshiach to come.  However, as with Yosef so was Meshiachs seemingly unfortunate events needed to bring about the promise.  This brought about what will be Yahshuas future reign over G-ds people on the earth something that will be a blessing to those who betrayed him (all mankind).

Genesis 37:18-19 ...they conspired against him to slay him. And they said to one another, Behold this dreamer comes.

Matthew 21:38 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.

Genesis 37:28 ...and sold Yosef to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.

Matthew 26:15-16 and said, What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. And from that time he sought opportunity to deliver him unto them.

Genesis 39:20 And Yosef's master took him, and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were bound: and he was there in the prison. Note: Though innocent he was accused falsely being treated as a criminal.

Mark 15:28 And the scripture was fulfilled, which saith, And he was numbered with the trangressors.

Genesis 41:39 ....you will be over my house....

Genesis 41:40 only in the throne will I be greater than you

Special Note: For anyone that has been truly studying the story of Yosef, hopefully they would have paid special attention to the relationship between Yosef and Pharoah.  In the passages dealing with this relationship we see that Pharoah had given Yosef to function in every aspect as Pharoah himself over all his land.  Yosef was practically Pharoah and could go about the land being a great reflection of Pharoahs will and as a representative/agent of Pharoah who could speak in the name of Pharoah. 

           However, in all this that Yosef was not Pharoah, was not co-equal with Pharoah.  In the sum total of things Pharoah was Pharoah alone, Pharoah still outranked Yosef though functionally Yosef could do all Pharoah could.  So indeed functionally Yosef was co-equal with Pharoah but only as it was given him by Pharoah.  Pharoahs will was still to be done over Yosefs will.  Pharoahs power was his own to give or take away.

           This is the same relationship Yahshua shares with YHWH.  Yes functionally Meshiach was given the ability to function as Elohim over all Elohims possesion (all creation).  Yes, Meshiach represented Elohim perfectly and reflected his will.  However, in all that Yahshua was not Elohim, was not co-equal with Elohim.  Elohims will was to be done and Elohim gave Yahshua the ability to do what he did as Yahshua himself stated (inject scripture).  Yahshuas will at the one point struggled with Elohims will.  In the end Yahshua still submits to Elohim, not due to some dual nature but because he was a man given the special position of Meshiach

      Theres far too much that shows Meshiach being second to Elohim throughout scripture that unfortunately is ignored or blown off for the idea of a mystery.  It has been implanted in peoples mind so much that only G-d could keep His own law/commandments and be perfect.  Somehow the same Elohim that Christians believe to be omnipotent is limited in his ability to inable someone to live his law through His spirit.  Another mistaken idea is the unwritten notion that only Elohim could die for our sins.  A man was able to cause sin and the curse of sin to enter into the world but only Elohim could reverse that?  Can he not have another man reverse the situation that a man caused to begin with?  How is it that people suggest that the Elohim of the universe had to die at the hands of His own creation?  Is such a thing possible, how can an inherit living being (from which life originates) cease to live?  What happened to that dual nature, did one die and not the other?  Did both die?  Ill cease here with this particular subject to return to the subject at hand.

Genesis 39:42....and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he set him over all the land of Mitsrayim.

Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore also Elohim highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name;

 that in the name of Yahshua every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Yahshua Meshiach is Master, to the glory of Elohim the Father.

Genesis 39:45 And Pharaoh called Yosef's name Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him to wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera priest of On. And Yosef went out over the land of Mitsrayim.

Revelation 19:12 ....and he hath a name written which no one knoweth but he himself.  Meshiach has the assembly as his wife given by Elohim.

Genesis 39:46 And Yosef was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Mitsrayim

Luke 3:23 And Yahshua himself, when he began to teach, was about thirty years of age.

Genesis 39:50 And when all the land of Mitsrayim was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said to all the Mitsrayimians, Go to Yosef; what he says to you, do.  Note: Yosef saved the people by providing bread for them, eventually the people sold themselves to Pharoah.

John 6:35 Yahshua said to them. I am the bread of life: he that comes to me will not hunger,....  Note: Yahshua saves us by the bread of life, we give ourselves to the Father as we are fed by Yahshua.

  Just as with many things in scriptures the parallel between Yosef and Yahshua are obvious.  The main parallel of the above is the position Yosef held as a Master/Saviour to Egypt being second to Pharoah and Yahshua being Master/Saviour to the world and his relation to Elohim.  Yosef was administrativily/functionalty equal to Pharoah as was given him but he was not Pharoah nor Pharoahs equal.  Yahshua is administativily/functionaly equal to Elohim (God) but he is not Elohim or equal to Him.
