  Genesis chapter 46 let us pray our King, our Lord, our God, our
• 0:09
  everything. You are holy, you are worthy,
• 0:11
  You are mighty to be praised. We thank you God for giving us
• 0:16
  life. We thank you God for giving us
• 0:18
  the scriptures. We thank you that they are alive
• 0:21
  and active and they are sharper than any 2 edged sword.
• 0:24
  They are actually predicting all the things all around us today.
• 0:29
  God, if we'll just get our nose in the book, if we'll just study
• 0:32
  your ways and study your words, study your thoughts and study
• 0:36
  your mind, God, we're going to see that everything all around
• 0:40
  us is moving in the exact pinpoint accuracy, God, that you
• 0:44
  have given us here ascribed and prescribed in your Word as all
• 0:50
  of the predictive text comes alive in today's world for
• 0:56
  today. All around us, Lord, it's all
• 0:59
  prophetic and it's all coming in.
• 1:01
  Every single bit of it is trustworthy and true.
• 1:05
  Every single syllable, every jot, every title, every period,
• 1:09
  every comma got every single utterance inside of these 66
• 1:14
  books from Genesis to Revelation.
• 1:17
  Nothing added and nothing subtracted.
• 1:19
  God, we trust. We build our whole life upon it.
• 1:22
  Lord. Lord, we get under the yoke of
• 1:25
  Jesus. God, we build our life on top of
• 1:28
  the solid rock that'll never be put to shame.
• 1:31
  It'll never be dismayed. It'll never go out of
• 1:34
  production, it'll never go out of prank.
• 1:37
  God, we know that your word is infallible and inerrant.
• 1:40
  God, we know that it is truth, it is life, it is breath, it is
• 1:46
  our very being, God. And so we rest upon it.
• 1:49
  We build our lives upon it, we bank upon it.
• 1:51
  God, we put no trust in the systems of this world.
• 1:55
  God, we put no trust in self and in vanity and in pride.
• 1:59
  God, we put no trust in inept leadership.
• 2:03
  We put no trust, God, in the diseased world that we see all
• 2:09
  around us. God, we see that it is failing,
• 2:12
  that it's falling away. God, it is exactly the way that
• 2:15
  you told us that it would look at this point, in this
• 2:19
  conjecture, at this crossroad. God is exactly what you said
• 2:23
  would happen. And so, Lord, it proves itself.
• 2:26
  It shows us that we can rely upon it and so God, we put all
• 2:32
  of our trust and faith, all of ourselves in to what you have
• 2:37
  said, God, and we operate within the biblical worldview.
• 2:41
  We are the wise versions. We keep our oil filled, we keep
• 2:46
  our Wicks trimmed. God, we want the Holy Spirit
• 2:50
  filling us. Holy Spirit, come, Holy Spirit,
• 2:53
  fill us. Holy Spirit, give us the mind of
• 2:55
  Christ. Give us the heart of God.
• 2:57
  Help us Lord, to be the hands and feet.
• 2:59
  Lord, help us not to sit on the sidelines.
• 3:02
  Help us not to just sit and play it safe.
• 3:05
  God, help us not to choose the luxury and opulence.
• 3:08
  God, help us to know what to do and when to do it and how to do
• 3:13
  it. And give us the strength, God,
• 3:15
  to perform. Inform what it is that you've
• 3:16
  asked us to do. God, I pray that you will be
• 3:19
  well pleased with the reading of your text today as it reads us,
• 3:23
  Lord, as it gets into us and we get into it.
• 3:27
  Father, we only want more of you.
• 3:29
  We only want to see you greater and higher and lifted up.
• 3:32
  Above all leadership, above all governments, above all
• 3:36
  totalitarian leaders. Father, you are the only one who
• 3:41
  deserves that rightful place. God high and lifted up, we pray
• 3:45
  for righteous leaders. God, we pray for those who love
• 3:48
  you more than life itself. God, we pray that you'll help
• 3:52
  us, Lord, to get out of our own way and to actually give you the
• 3:56
  center stage to actually stand up for what your Word says.
• 4:00
  We stand up for pro-life, God. We stand up for marriage.
• 4:05
  We stand up for families, God. We stand up for the word.
• 4:09
  We stand up for all of the things that you have told us,
• 4:12
  Father, for all of the times that you have spoke to us in the
• 4:16
  past. God, continue to stir it within
• 4:19
  us today. God fanned the flame.
• 4:21
  God, I pray for revival, global revival.
• 4:24
  Break it out, Father, from every continent, every people group,
• 4:28
  every language, God crying out, Yeshua crying out.
• 4:33
  I uses crying out Yahweh, everlasting God and I, we love
• 4:37
  you El Elohim, we love you the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
• 4:43
  We love you the God of Israel. Come and take your rightful
• 4:47
  place on the throne. Come Lord, come.
• 4:49
  The Spirit and the bride says come, we love you.
• 4:52
  Show up and show off God and show us what it is that you want
• 4:56
  us to know about you today. Use this chapter in the Bible to
• 5:01
  speak to your people for today, for such a time as this God, we
• 5:05
  love you and it's in King Jesus, holy and precious and powerful
• 5:09
  name that I pray. Amen.
• 5:15
  Well, let's start in verse one. And Israel took his journey with
• 5:24
  all that he had and came to Beersheba and offered sacrifices
• 5:29
  unto the God of his father Isaac.
• 5:31
  So here we get to see that, oh, Jacob's taking a couple journeys
• 5:36
  in his lifetime. And the first time he went to go
• 5:38
  find a wife and got trapped by his Uncle Laban and he made him
• 5:41
  work for 14 years. He was there for 20 years as he
• 5:45
  come back into the land. And then we saw his son Joseph
• 5:48
  get sold off into slavery down into Egypt.
• 5:52
  And now God is telling him to go back down into Egypt and to be
• 5:57
  with his boy Joseph, who has taken the helm at the Egyptian
• 6:05
  selling of the grain to save the world.
• 6:07
  And you're going to see here that God is going to be very
• 6:10
  near. He's going to be very close unto
• 6:13
  Jacob and let Jacob know that he's doing what he's supposed to
• 6:16
  be doing. And even though God had told
• 6:19
  them not to go down into Egypt and to stay in the Promised
• 6:23
  land, because all of it was for them, Egypt is going to act as
• 6:27
  the womb for this nation, Israel, so that they can grow
• 6:31
  and get stronger and multiply and are going to go down as 70
• 6:35
  and come out as 2 million. Think about it, friends.
• 6:39
  God is so good at what He does. And sometimes the things that
• 6:42
  God is doing, it does not jive. It does not line up with the way
• 6:46
  that we would do things. It does not line up with how we
• 6:49
  think God should act and behave. But I want you to know, friends,
• 6:53
  that God knows what He's doing and we can trust Him.
• 6:56
  Even in the misunderstanding, even in the times that we don't
• 7:01
  see how this could ever work out, We trust Him, we rely on
• 7:06
  Him, we listen to Him. And when God says move, we go,
• 7:09
  friends. And when God says sit and be
• 7:12
  still, we listen attentive, attentively for His still small
• 7:17
  voice that is going to lead us home, friends.
• 7:19
  And that is the key. We do not need to operate within
• 7:22
  our own senses and our own intellect and how we think that
• 7:26
  this world should go, what we think God is like.
• 7:29
  We just get up underneath the yoke of the Bible, the entirety
• 7:33
  of God's word. We do not call any of it into
• 7:36
  question. We say yes and Amen to every
• 7:38
  single one of His words. We get to know God through the
• 7:42
  revealed text that He has given us.
• 7:44
  We don't add anything to it. We take nothing out of it.
• 7:47
  It is the complete authority for mankind.
• 7:50
  And if we'll get into it and if we'll study it, friends, you're
• 7:53
  going to find that the entire world view all around you starts
• 7:57
  lining up and all the pieces of the puzzle start fitting.
• 8:00
  Friends. Verse 2.
• 8:02
  And God spoke unto Israel in the visions of the night, and he
• 8:06
  said, Jacob, Jacob. And he said, here am I think
• 8:13
  about it, friends, He is called Israel rightly because he's
• 8:17
  doing what he's supposed to be doing.
• 8:19
  He's operating within what God has called him into, even in the
• 8:22
  uncomfortableness of it all. And you're going to see here
• 8:26
  that he says, here am I. And that is our response,
• 8:28
  friends. When God speaks, we move.
• 8:31
  We do exactly what God tells us to do, even if it doesn't line
• 8:35
  up with what we think things should be like. 3/8 He said I am
• 8:41
  God, the God of your father. Fear not to go down into Egypt
• 8:45
  and I will be there and I will make you a great nation.
• 8:48
  Think about it friends. This is counterintuitive,
• 8:51
  counterproductive to them staying in the land and taking
• 8:55
  the land and the entire land being theirs and all the
• 8:58
  promises that God gave to Abraham and gave to his father
• 9:02
  Isaac. And eventually this God of
• 9:05
  Abraham and Isaac is going to become Jacob's God, is going to
• 9:09
  become Israeli God. He's going to finally stop
• 9:13
  referring to him as the God of Isaac, and it's going to be the
• 9:17
  God of Jacob as well. And he tells him he's going to
• 9:22
  make him into a great nation. And that was the entire purpose
• 9:26
  of them going down into Egypt for the 400 years, friends, is
• 9:30
  so that they would not assimilate into the Canaanite.
• 9:34
  All of the nations all around them, which you started to see
• 9:37
  them do whenever Judah took himself for a wife.
• 9:41
  And you see all of that. You see that God's plan was not
• 9:45
  for them to get intermingled and muddled with the nations around,
• 9:50
  but for them to stay together and for them to increase,
• 9:54
  friends. And that is what is about to
• 9:55
  happen in the land of Egypt. And there's still a mighty
• 9:59
  Nation Today. And you saw the regathering of
• 10:02
  them back in 1948. And we are living in the
• 10:05
  prophetic divine timeline, friends, and it is miraculous
• 10:10
  and you will miss it if you do not lock in, if you do not pay
• 10:13
  attention, if you listen to the rhetoric, if you listen to all
• 10:17
  of the sounding boards, if you listen to the echo chambers that
• 10:21
  tell us that they are not rightfully supposed to be in the
• 10:24
  land. If they, if we listen to all of
• 10:26
  the garbage that's out there, friends, you're going to miss
• 10:29
  it. You're going to miss the
• 10:30
  miraculous that God's people are still together.
• 10:33
  They are still an ethnic nation and they are still divinely
• 10:37
  protected by Yahweh even today and this day and this hour
• 10:40
  power. Never forget that, friends for
• 10:45
  it. I will go down with you into
• 10:47
  Egypt and I will also surely bring you up again.
• 10:51
  And Joseph shall put his hand upon your eyes.
• 10:54
  So he's saying, do not fear to go down into Egypt.
• 10:57
  I'm going to bring you out. And this was in the sense that
• 11:01
  the Israelite nation will come back out of Egypt.
• 11:05
  It was never God's plan to leave them there.
• 11:08
  And he's telling Jacob that he's going to know so that this is
• 11:11
  all in line with what God wants him to do.
• 11:14
  Because Joseph, his very self, the son that he thought was
• 11:18
  dead, but now he's found out is alive, will be the one to close
• 11:22
  his eyes whenever he dies. Five.
• 11:27
  And Jacob rose up from Beersheba, and the sons of
• 11:31
  Israel carried Jacob, their father, and their little ones
• 11:34
  and their wives in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry
• 11:37
  him. So here he went to the
• 11:39
  southernmost port, the southernmost point, this outpost
• 11:45
  here in the land of Canaan, right before they enter into the
• 11:48
  nation of Egypt. And here he gave God his due
• 11:53
  reward. He gave God his due worship and
• 11:56
  praise. And this is where Abraham
• 11:59
  planted the tamarisk tree. This is where Isaac built an
• 12:03
  altar. And you can just see Jacob here
• 12:05
  stopping at the tree and worshiping at the altar before
• 12:09
  he goes down into Egypt. 6 And they took their cattle and their
• 12:14
  goods, which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came into
• 12:18
  Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him.
• 12:21
  So he goes down as 70 and he comes out as 2 million.
• 12:24
  This is God, Math friends, Seven, his sons and his sons and
• 12:30
  his sons with them his daughters and his sons, daughters and all
• 12:33
  his seed brought he with him into Egypt.
• 12:36
  So he took everything he had, and he went down there, and he's
• 12:39
  moving in radical obedience. Friends. 8 And these are the
• 12:44
  names of the children of Israel which came into Egypt.
• 12:48
  Jacob and his sons, Reuben, Jacob's first born. 9 And the
• 12:53
  sons of Reuben Hanak and Palu and Hezron and Carmiton, and the
• 12:58
  sons of Simeon, Jemuel, Jammen, Oha, Jacquin, Zohar, and Shao,
• 13:04
  the sons of the Canaanitis woman. 11 And the sons of Levi,
• 13:08
  Garshung, Kohath, Marari, 12 and the sons of Judah, Aaron Onan
• 13:13
  and Sheila and Perez and Zara and Aaron Onan died in the land
• 13:18
  of Canaan. And the sons of Pharaohs were
• 13:21
  Hezron and Hamul. So you see here the line of the
• 13:25
  Messiah, Judah. And we know that he was the one
• 13:28
  who stepped out with the Canaanites there in the land,
• 13:31
  which is indicative of why God is sending them down into Egypt.
• 13:36
  So they'll be protected and they will multiply and they will
• 13:39
  become strong. And we're going to see later on
• 13:42
  that they're becoming social strong, that they were actually
• 13:45
  threatening the Egyptian way of life.
• 13:47
  And so Pharaoh said to the midwives to kill all the babies
• 13:51
  that were coming, but they disobeyed him, friends.
• 13:55
  And that is why you see them getting sent down into Egypt. 13
• 14:00
  And the sons of Issaquartola and Fuva and Shinram. 14 And the
• 14:05
  sons of Zebul and Sarah, and Elon and Jalil. 15 These be the
• 14:10
  sons of Leah, which she bore unto Jacob.
• 14:12
  And Padanaraman the daughter of Dinah, all the souls of his sons
• 14:16
  and his daughters were 30 and 316 And the sons of Gad Ziphion
• 14:21
  and Hagi, Shuni and Evisbron, Eri and Aradi Arali. 17 And the
• 14:27
  sons of Asha, Jinnah, Ish, ISI, and Beriah Surah their sister,
• 14:33
  and the sons of Beriah, Heber, and Malachyle. 18 These are the
• 14:37
  sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter, and these
• 14:41
  she bore unto Jacob even 16 souls. 19 And the sons of
• 14:45
  Rachel's, Jacob's wife Joseph, and Benjamin. 20 And unto Joseph
• 14:50
  in the land of Egypt were born Manessa and Ephraim, which
• 14:55
  ascendant the daughter of Patafera, priest of own bore
• 14:58
  unto him. 21 And the sons of Benjamin were Bella and Becker,
• 15:03
  and Ashbel, Garra, and Naman, Ehai, and Rash, Mukhman, and
• 15:08
  Hoofem, and ARD. 22 And these are the sons of Rachel, which
• 15:11
  were born to Jacob. All the souls were 1423 and the
• 15:15
  sons of Dan Hushem, and the sons of Neptali, Jazeel Guni Jezer
• 15:20
  Shilliam. 25 These are the sons of Bilhah, which Laban gave unto
• 15:24
  Rachel his daughter, and she bore these unto Jacob.
• 15:27
  All the souls were 726 And the souls that came out of came with
• 15:34
  Jacob into Egypt, which came out of his loins, besides Jacob's
• 15:38
  sons wives, all the souls were three score and six.
• 15:45
  So here we get to see that 70 people are moving out from
• 15:51
  Canaan into Egypt, and God is going to do a miraculous
• 15:56
  multiplying there in the land. 27 The sons of Joseph which were
• 16:02
  born him in Egypt were two souls, all the souls of the
• 16:06
  House of Jacob, which came into Egypt, where 3 score and 10A-70
• 16:11
  souls, Friends. 28 And he sent Judah before him unto Joseph, to
• 16:16
  direct his face unto Goshen. They came into the land of
• 16:19
  Goshen. So we see this messianic lineage
• 16:23
  of Judah going, and he is the one directing them.
• 16:25
  And we know that Jesus went to prepare a place for us, and we
• 16:29
  see it all mirrored and modelled.
• 16:31
  We see types and shadows all throughout this entire Old
• 16:34
  Testament, and especially here in the life of Joseph and Judah.
• 16:39
  And you see it, friends, and it's so beautiful. 29 And Joseph
• 16:43
  made ready his chariot and went up to meet Israel, his father to
• 16:47
  Goshen, and presented himself to him.
• 16:49
  And he fell on his neck, and he wept on his neck a good while.
• 16:55
  Can you see it, friends? Do you see this reunion here?
• 17:02
  This father has thought that his son is dead, dead, torn to
• 17:07
  pieces. They gave him the coat of many
• 17:09
  colors dipped in the goat's blood and told them that a
• 17:12
  ravenous animal had completely tore Joseph to pieces and Israel
• 17:19
  believed them. And here we get to see it's been
• 17:22
  more than 20 years since he's seen his son.
• 17:26
  He thought his son was dead. And now he finds that his son is
• 17:31
  alive. And not only is he alive, but
• 17:33
  he's in a very prominent position and he's saving the
• 17:36
  world from famine. And here they are.
• 17:41
  Look at this scene. Look at this verse.
• 17:44
  Meditate upon it, friends. This is a beautiful verse in the
• 17:49
  word of God. Now you see, God can take dead
• 17:52
  things and raise them back to life, and nothing is impossible
• 17:57
  with an Almighty God. Put your full trust, put your
• 18:00
  full faith in Him, and God can literally do anything.
• 18:05
  Friends, they wept for a long time. 30 In Israel said unto
• 18:14
  Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you
• 18:20
  are yet alive. He said, I can go down to the
• 18:23
  grave in peace, because my twelve sons are all back
• 18:28
  together, and the son of my beloved Rachel that I thought
• 18:34
  was dead is now alive. What an amazing thought, what an
• 18:38
  amazing God that we serve. And it was all in his beautiful
• 18:45
  plan, friends. And there are so many things in
• 18:48
  our day and our hour. There are so many things that
• 18:51
  are happening all around us today that we do not understand.
• 18:56
  We don't even pretend to understand.
• 18:59
  But you need to know in your heart of hearts, at the most
• 19:04
  basic level that God is in full control and nothing is missed
• 19:12
  upon Him. He is not pacing back and forth
• 19:16
  in heaven trying to figure out what He's going to do.
• 19:20
  He has written about the entire timeline of mankind, every
• 19:28
  single millisecond, from Adam being created out of the dust,
• 19:34
  to the New Jerusalem, the city of God descending upon this
• 19:40
  earth, and forever and ever and ever and ever, Him with us and
• 19:47
  us with Him. He's told us every single thing
• 19:51
  that we need to know. There is nothing that He omitted
• 19:56
  that we need to try and figure out.
• 19:59
  What the Bible is silent about, we are also silent about.
• 20:04
  And what the Bible speaks about, we are bold to proclaim to the
• 20:10
  ends of the earth, friends. And Jesus Christ is the way, and
• 20:15
  Jesus Christ is the truth, and Jesus Christ is the life, and
• 20:21
  that no one comes unto the Father except through Jesus
• 20:26
  Christ. And the Father is the father of
• 20:29
  the Jews. He's the father of Abraham,
• 20:32
  Isaac, and Jacob. He is the Messiah.
• 20:36
  He is our everything. We put our full faith, our full
• 20:41
  trust, we put our full entire selves in to God Almighty and to
• 20:47
  the ways that he has given us to understand him throughout this
• 20:51
  text. And this is the greatest
• 20:55
  adventure that you will ever embark on is to get into the
• 20:59
  Word of God, to know the Word of God, to study the Word of God,
• 21:03
  to meditate upon the Word of God, and to live out and to
• 21:07
  actually flesh out the Word of God in the life that He has
• 21:11
  given you for such a time as this.
• 21:14
  For right now in this time, friends, and it is ignorance of
• 21:19
  the Word of God that is plaguing this world.
• 21:21
  And we need to know what God's Word says in every arena, in
• 21:25
  every aspect, about every single encounter, about every single
• 21:30
  problem, about every single place that we find ourselves.
• 21:36
  We need to know what the Word of God says.
• 21:38
  We need the full counsel of God's Word, and then we'll be
• 21:42
  able to to outmaneuver all the schemes of the enemy friends. 31
• 21:53
  And Joseph said unto his brothers, and unto his father's
• 21:56
  house. I will go up and show Pharaoh,
• 21:59
  and say unto him, My brothers and my father's house, which
• 22:03
  were in the land of Canaan, have come unto me. 32 And the men are
• 22:08
  shepherds, for their trade has been to feed cattle, and they
• 22:12
  have brought their flocks and their herds, and all that they
• 22:14
  have. 33 And it shall come to pass, when Pharaoh shall call
• 22:19
  you, and you say, And he'll say, What is your occupation?
• 22:23
  We'll end on 34 that you shall say, your servants.
• 22:27
  Trade has been about cattle from our youth, even until now, both
• 22:31
  we and our fathers, that we may dwell in the land of Goshen.
• 22:35
  For every shepherd is an abomination unto the Egyptians.
• 22:39
  So look at the wise counsel of God Almighty.
• 22:44
  Look at the omniscience of God Almighty and how He knows
• 22:47
  everything, and how the very things in the land of Egypt
• 22:52
  where they were very much separated and segregated and
• 22:58
  they did not try to intermingle with any of the outsiders.
• 23:02
  And look at how even the cattle, anybody who kept cattle was an
• 23:07
  abomination unto them. Look at how God's protection for
• 23:10
  His people is so beautiful and you see how He has put them in
• 23:15
  an incubator and He is going to produce a massive nation from
• 23:21
  this point. And it's so beautiful when you
• 23:24
  sit and meditate upon it. When you sit and think about it,
• 23:27
  God's ways are so much higher than our ways.
• 23:30
  His thoughts are so much better than our thoughts and we can't
• 23:33
  even try to fathom what He can do and what He knows and how He
• 23:39
  operates. Friends, we just say yes and
• 23:41
  Amen to every single bit of the revealed will of God, and all of
• 23:45
  the unrevealed will of God will completely line up with what is
• 23:50
  in Scripture. Never forget that, friends.
• 23:52
  Do not fall for the Duke. Do not fall for the counterfeit.
• 23:56
  There are going to be many false prophets and many false teachers
• 23:59
  and the apostasy of the church that rises up, friends, but we
• 24:03
  are called to study the real thing.
• 24:05
  Study the Word of God. Do not ever put it down.
• 24:09
  Do not let it grow dust on the shelf.
• 24:11
  All friends, it says to be open, to be read every single day,
• 24:16
  every moment. Let it be the entertainment that
• 24:19
  you find yourself going towards. Do not get duped by all of the
• 24:24
  things that are buying and trying to get your attention
• 24:28
  today. Actually get into the Word of
• 24:30
  God, study the Word of God, know the Word of God, meditate upon
• 24:33
  the Word of God, and live the Word of God.
• 24:36
  Friends, I hope you've been blessed by this amazing chapter
• 24:40
  in God's Word. I know I sure have.
• 24:42
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 24:44
  I love you and we'll see you back here tomorrow.
• 24:47
  God bless you.
