Jan 27-Feb 2 Salvation Of The Lord

The Reconciliation of the BrothersThe Reconciliation of the Brothers

Genesis 45:1 NETJoseph was no longer able to control himself before all his attendants, so he

cried out, "Make everyone go out from my presence!"

The Reconciliation of the The Reconciliation of the BrothersBrothers

No one remained with Joseph when he made himself known to his brothers. 2 He wept

loudly; the Egyptians heard it and Pharaoh's

household heard about it.


3 Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?" His brothers could not

answer him because they were dumbfounded

before him.


4 Joseph said to his brothers, "Come closer

to me," so they came near. Then he said, "I am

Joseph your brother, whom you sold into

Egypt.


5 Now, do not be upset and do not be angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God

sent me ahead of you to preserve life!


6 For these past two years there has been famine in

the land and for five more years there will be

neither plowing nor harvesting.


7 God sent me ahead of you to preserve you on the earth and to save your lives by a great

deliverance.


8 So now, it is not you who sent me here, but God.

He has made me an adviser to Pharaoh, lord over all his household, and ruler over all the

land of Egypt.


9 Now go up to my father quickly and tell him,

'This is what your son Joseph says: "God has

made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to

me; do not delay!


God has put the right person, in the right place,

to do the right job. Remember He promised Abram his descendents would be slaves for 400

years.


Through Joseph, God is not only saving many lives,

including Abraham’s family, from the famine,

but also putting Abraham’s descendents in place to

become slaves as promised.

Jacob goes to EgyptJacob goes to Egypt Genesis 46:1 NET So Israel

began his journey, taking with him all that he had. When he came to Beer

Sheba he offered sacrifices to the God of

his father Isaac.

Jacob goes to EgyptJacob goes to Egypt2 God spoke to Israel in a

vision during the night and said, "Jacob,

Jacob!" He replied, "Here I am!"

Jacob goes to EgyptJacob goes to Egypt3 He said, "I am God, the

God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation

there.

Jacob goes to EgyptJacob goes to EgyptGod promises Jacob Egypt is where he will become a great nation.

He promises to go with Jacob into Egypt, and to bring him out from there.

Jacob goes to EgyptJacob goes to Egypt4 I will go down with you to Egypt and I myself will certainly bring you back from there. Joseph will

close your eyes."

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobNow we come to the end of Jacob’s life. As seems to be the custom he calls in his sons to proclaim

blessings on them.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobGenesis 48:11 NET Israel said

to Joseph, "I never expected to see you

again, but now God has allowed me to see your

children too."

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob12 So Joseph moved them

from Israel's knees and bowed down with his face to the ground. 13

Joseph positioned them;

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobhe put Ephraim on his right hand across from Israel's left hand, and Manasseh on his left hand across

from Israel's right hand. Then Joseph brought them

closer to his father.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob14 Israel stretched out his right hand and placed it

on Ephraim's head, although he was the

younger.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobCrossing his hands, he put

his left hand on Manasseh's head, for

Manasseh was the firstborn.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob15 Then he blessed Joseph and said, "May the God before whom my fathers

Abraham and Isaac walked — the God who

has been my shepherd all my life long to this day,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob16 the Angel who has protected me from all

harm — bless these boys. May my name be named in them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and

Isaac.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobMay they grow into a

multitude on the earth." 17 When Joseph saw that

his father placed his right hand on Ephraim's head, it displeased him.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobSo he took his father's hand to move it from

Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 18

Joseph said to his father, "Not so, my father, for this is the firstborn.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobPut your right hand on his

head." 19 But his father refused and said, "I

know, my son, I know. He too will become a nation and he too will become

great.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobIn spite of this, his

younger brother will be even greater and his

descendants will become a multitude of nations."

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob20 So he blessed them that day, saying, "By you will Israel bless, saying, May

God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.'

" So he put Ephraim before Manasseh.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob21 Then Israel said to Joseph, "I am about to

die, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your

fathers.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobGenesis 49:1 NET

Jacob called for his sons and said, "Gather

together so I can tell you what will happen to you

in the future.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob2 “Assemble and listen, you sons of Jacob; listen

to Israel, your father.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob3 Reuben, you are my

firstborn, my might and the beginning of my

strength, outstanding in dignity, outstanding in

power.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob4 You are destructive like water and will not excel,

for you got on your father's bed, then you

defiled it — he got on my couch!

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobReuben as the first-born had a right

to a double portion of all that the father had; see Deu. 21:17

The eminence or dignity mentioned here may refer to the priesthood;

the power, to the regal government or kingdom -

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobIn this sense it has been understood by

all the ancient Targumists. Targum, T`ARGUM, n. A translation or paraphrase of the sacred Scriptures in

the Chaldee language or dialect. Of these the Targum of Jonathan, and

that of Onkelos, are held in most esteem by the Jews. (Webster’s)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobThe Targum of Onkelos

paraphrases it thus: “Thou shouldst have received three

portions, the birthright, the priesthood, and the kingdom:” and

to this the Targums of Jonathan ben Uzziel and Jerusalem add:

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob“But because thou hast sinned, the birthright is given to Joseph, the kingdom to Judah, and the

priesthood to Levi.”That the birthright was given to the sons of Joseph we have the fullest proof from 1 Chronicles 5:1.

(Clarke)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob1 Chronicles 5:1 NET

The sons of Reuben, Israel's firstborn — (Now he was the firstborn, but

when he defiled his father's bed,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobhis rights as firstborn

were given to the sons of Joseph, Israel's son. So Reuben is not listed as

firstborn in the genealogical records.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob5 Simeon and Levi are brothers, weapons of

violence are their knives! 6 O my soul, do not come into their council, do not

be united to their assembly,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobmy heart, for in their anger they have killed men, and for pleasure they have hamstrung

oxen.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob7 Cursed be their anger,

for it was fierce, and their fury, for it was

cruel. I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter

them in Israel!

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobSimeon & Levi are the

ones who slaughtered the men of Shechem after their sister Dinah was

raped. Remember Jacob was very upset with them

for doing this.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob This is the reason for their “blessing” if you

want to call it that. The last part of verse 7

indicates neither of these sons will inherit their

own land.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobThe tribe of Simeon received

only cities and towns in the land of Judah.

Joshua 19:8 NET as well as all the towns around these cities as far as Baalath

Beer (Ramah of the Negev).

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobThis was the land

assigned to the tribe of Simeon by its clans. 9

Simeon’s assigned land was taken from Judah's

allotted portion,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobfor Judah's territory was too large for them; so Simeon was assigned

land within Judah. Levi also received no separate

inheritance in the land, but merely a number of cities to

dwell in,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobscattered throughout the

possessions of his brethren. (Josh

21:1-40) But the scattering of Levi in Israel was changed into a blessing for the other tribes through its election to the

priesthood.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobOf this transformation of the curse into a blessing, there

is not the slightest intimation in Jacob's address; and in this we have a strong proof

of its genuineness. (K&D)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob8 Judah, your brothers

will praise you. Your hand will be on the neck

of your enemies, your father's sons will bow

down before you.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob9 You are a lion's cub,

Judah, from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He crouches and lies

down like a lion; like a lioness — who will rouse

him?

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor

the ruler's staff from between his feet, until he

comes to whom it belongs; the nations will

obey him.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobVerse 10 is a prophecy that

the Messiah would come from Judah.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob11 Binding his foal to the vine, and his colt to the choicest vine, he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the

blood of grapes.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob12 His eyes will be dark from wine, and his teeth

white from milk. Don’t verses 11 & 12

convey the idea of being washed by the blood of

Christ.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobIsaiah 55:1 NET "Hey, all who

are thirsty, come to the water! You who have no money, come! Buy and

eat! Come! Buy wine and milk without money and

without cost!

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob

Acts 22:16 NET And now what are you waiting for? Get up, be baptized, and have your sins washed away,

calling on his name.'

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobRevelation 22:14 NET Blessed are those who wash their robes so they can have access to the tree of life and can enter into the

city by the gates.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobyour brothers will praise

you… will bow down before you.

Judah’s mother Leah named him properly.

His name signifies praise.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobKing David and his

descendents were of the tribe of Judah.

All the tribes praised him and served him as King,

hence bowed down before him.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob13 Zebulun will live by the

haven of the sea and become a haven for

ships; his border will extend to Sidon.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobZebulun means “dwelling,” to which there is an allusion in the first clause of the verse. “At the

haven of seas.” This tribe touched upon the coast of the

sea of Kinnereth and of the Mediterranean.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobIt probably possessed some havens

for shipping near the promontory of Karmel: and its northwestern

boundary touched upon Phoenicia, the territory of Zidon. He is placed before Issakar, who

was older, because the latter sank into a subordinate position. (Barnes)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob14 Issachar is a strong-boned

donkey lying down between two saddlebags. 15 When he sees a good resting place, and the pleasant land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and become a

slave laborer.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobIssachar will be known for

their strength. They will patiently labor, like a

donkey, in a land good for agriculture.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob16 Dan will judge his people as one of the

tribes of Israel. 17 May Dan be a snake beside the road, a viper by the path, that bites the heels

of the horse

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobso that its rider falls

backward. 18 I wait for your

deliverance, O LORD.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobDan, whose name signifies judgment, was the eldest of

Jacob’s sons by Bilhah, Rachel’s maid, and he is here promised an equal rule with those tribes that

sprang from either Leah or Rachel, the legal wives of Jacob.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobSome Jewish and some

Christian writers understand this prophecy of Samson, who

sprang from this tribe, and judged, or as the word might be translated avenged, the people

of Israel twenty years. (Clarke)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob19 Gad will be raided by marauding

bands, but he will attack them at their heels.

Gad also shall be subject to the assaults of the enemy. But he shall resist the foe and harass

his rear.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobThis brief character agrees with his after history. He is reckoned

among the valiant men in Scripture. 1Chr. 5:18 (Barnes)

20 Asher's food will be rich, and he will provide delicacies to royalty.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobAsher shall have a soil abounding in

wheat and oil. He occupies the low lands along the coast north of

Karmel. Hence, the products of his country are fit to furnish the table

of kings. Gad and Asher are placed before Naphtali, the

second son of Bilhah.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobWe cannot tell whether they were older, or for what other

reason they occupy this place. It may be that Naphtali was of a

less decisive or self-reliant character. (Barnes)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob21 Naphtali is a free running doe, he

speaks delightful words. The best rendering we know is this, “Naphtali is a deer roaming

at liberty; he shooteth forth goodly branches,” or majestic

antlers, [Taylor, Scripture Illustrations]

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacoband the meaning of the prophecy

seems to be that the tribe of Naphtali would be located in a

territory so fertile and peaceable, that, feeding on the richest

pasture, he would spread out, like a deer, branching antlers. (JFB)

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough

near a spring whose branches climb over the wall. 23 The archers will

attack him, they will shoot at him and oppose him.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob24 But his bow will remain

steady, and his hands will be skillful; because of the hands

of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the

Rock of Israel,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob 25 because of the God of

your father, who will help you, because of the sovereign God, who will bless you with blessings

from the sky above,

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacobblessings from the deep

that lies below, and blessings of the breasts

and womb.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob26 The blessings of your father are greater than

the blessings of the eternal mountains or the desirable things of the

age-old hills.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobThey will be on the head

of Joseph and on the brow of the prince of his

brothers.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacoba fruitful bough, etc. — denotes the extraordinary increase of that tribe.

(compare Num 1:33-35; Jos 17:17; Deu 33:17) The patriarch describes him as attacked

by envy, revenge, temptation, ingratitude; yet still, by the grace of

God, he triumphed over all opposition, so that he became the sustainer of

Israel;

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacoband then he proceeds to shower

blessings of every kind upon the head of this favorite son. The history of the tribes of

Ephraim and Manasseh shows how fully these blessings were

realized.

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of Jacob27 Benjamin is a ravenous

wolf; in the morning devouring the prey, and in the evening dividing

the plunder."

The Blessings of JacobThe Blessings of JacobBenjamin is described as a wolf

who is engaged morning and evening, that is, all day long, in

hunting after prey. He was warlike by character and conduct Judg. 20–

21, and among his descendants are Ehud, Saul, and Jonathan.

TheThe Call of the Call of the DelivererDeliverer

Now we jump ahead to find Moses living in Midian.

Exodus 2:23 NETDuring that long period of time the king of Egypt died, and the Israelites groaned because of the slave labor.


They cried out, and their desperate cry because of

their slave labor went up to God. 24 God heard their

groaning, God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob,


25 God saw the Israelites, and God understood….

3:1 Now Moses was shepherding the flock of his father-in-law Jethro,

the priest of Midian,


and he led the flock to the far side of the desert and came to the mountain of God, to Horeb. 2 The angel of the

LORD appeared to him in a flame of fire from within a

bush.

TheThe Call of the Call of the DelivererDelivererHe looked — and the bush

was ablaze with fire, but it was not being

consumed! 3 So Moses thought, "I will turn

aside to see this amazing sight.


Why does the bush not burn up?" 4 When the

LORD saw that he had turned aside to look, God called to him from within

the bush and said,


"Moses, Moses!" And Moses said, "Here I am." 5 God

said, "Do not approach any closer! Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is

holy ground."


6 He added, "I am the God of your father, the God of

Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of

Jacob." Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.


7 The LORD said, "I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt. I have heard their

cry because of their taskmasters, for I know

their sorrows.


8 I have come down to deliver them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up

from that land to a land that is both good and

spacious,


to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the

region of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites,

Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.


9 And now indeed the cry of the Israelites has come

to me, and I have also seen how severely the

Egyptians oppress them.


10 So now go, and I will send you to Pharaoh to

bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt."


God has begun the process of fulfilling the

promise He made to bring the descendents of Abraham, now a great nation, out of slavery.

I Am The LORDI Am The LORDThrough the process of

bringing the slaves out of Egypt God continually

hardens Pharaohs' heart.Why would he do this and

delay His peoples freedom?

I Am The LORDI Am The LORDExodus 10:1 NET The LORD

said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh, for I have

hardened his heart and the heart of his servants, in order to display these signs of mine before him,

I Am The LORDI Am The LORD

2 and in order that in the hearing of your son and your grandson you may tell how I made fools of

the Egyptians

I Am The LORDI Am The LORD

and about my signs that I displayed among them, so that you may know that I am the LORD."

He Is The Lord!!He Is The Lord!!That is why!!

So that generations might know of his power and wonders so all would

know HE IS THE LORD!!

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORDGod instructs the Israelites

to camp beside the sea because he wants to

reinforce the fact that HE IS LORD.

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORDExodus 14:4 NET I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and he will chase after them. I will gain honor because of Pharaoh and because

of all his army,

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORD

and the Egyptians will know that I am the

LORD." So this is what they did.

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORDExodus 14:10 NET When

Pharaoh got closer, the Israelites looked up, and there were the Egyptians marching after them, and

they were terrified.

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORDThe Israelites cried out to

the LORD, 11 and they said to Moses, "Is it because there are no

graves in Egypt that you have taken us away to

die in the desert?


What in the world have you done to us by

bringing us out of Egypt?12 Isn’t this what we told

you in Egypt,


'Leave us alone so that we can serve the Egyptians, because it is better for us

to serve the Egyptians than to die in the desert!'

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORD13 Moses said to the people, "Do not fear! Stand firm and see the salvation of the LORD that he will provide for

you today;


for the Egyptians that you see today you will never,

ever see again. 14 The LORD will fight for you,

and you can be still."

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORDStand firm and see the salvation of the LORD

Isn’t this what it all boils down to?

How many times does Paul tell us to stand firm?


Galatians 5:1 NET For freedom Christ has set us free.

Stand firm, then, and do not be subject again to

the yoke of slavery.

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORD1 Thessalonians 3:8 NET For now we are alive again, if you

stand firm in the Lord.1 Corinthians 16:13 NET Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be

strong.

Salvation of the LORDSalvation of the LORDOnce we are grounded on

The Rock, Jesus, we need to stand firm on

That Rock and we will see the

Salvation of the Lord.
