  Genesis chapter 50, let us pray, our Father, who is in heaven,
• 0:06
  holy is your name, your Kingdom come, and your will be done here
• 0:11
  on this earth, just as it is there in heaven.
• 0:14
  Give us this day, Our Daily Bread.
• 0:17
  Forgive us God, for all the times that we have short come.
• 0:21
  Every single time we've trespassed.
• 0:23
  God, help us to forgive those who trespass against us.
• 0:28
  God, don't let us be LED off into temptation, but deliver us,
• 0:31
  God, from the evil one. For yours is the power and the
• 0:36
  Kingdom and the glory and the honor, forever and ever.
• 0:39
  King Jesus Christ, the blessed anointed One, the Son of God,
• 0:45
  the Son of man, We thank you for your finished work of the cross.
• 0:49
  We thank you that you are the all sufficient sacrifice.
• 0:54
  We worship you today, King Jesus, in spirit and truth.
• 1:00
  Teach us your ways. And it's in your holy and
• 1:03
  precious and powerful name that I pray.
• 1:05
  Amen. Well, let's start in verse one.
• 1:12
  And Joseph fell upon his Father's face and wept upon him,
• 1:17
  and kissed him. We remember whenever Jacob was
• 1:21
  coming out of the land of Egypt and God, or coming out of the
• 1:24
  land of Canaan into the land of Egypt, and God told him, do not
• 1:28
  be afraid that Joseph himself will put his hands on your eyes.
• 1:32
  And here we see how God made good on his promise unto Jacob.
• 1:39
  Verse 2. And Joseph commanded his
• 1:41
  servants, the physicians, to embalm his father, and the
• 1:45
  physicians embalmed Israel. So here we know that the
• 1:49
  Egyptians were good at what they did when it came to preserving
• 1:54
  the body. And here Joseph is saying, go
• 2:00
  ahead and preserve him so that I can take him back down into
• 2:05
  Canaan. 3 and 40 days were fulfilled for him, and so are
• 2:10
  fulfilled the days of those which are embalmed.
• 2:13
  And the Egyptians mourn for him three score and 10 days.
• 2:16
  So for 40 days, which was one of the most honourable practices
• 2:23
  amongst the Egyptians, that they sat and they mourned for the
• 2:27
  father of the man who helped them through all of the famine
• 2:35
  in the land. For.
• 2:37
  And when the days of his mourning were passed, Joseph
• 2:40
  spoke unto the House of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found
• 2:45
  grace in your eyes, speak, I pray you, in the ears of
• 2:48
  Pharaoh, saying, My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die in
• 2:56
  my grave which I have dug for me in the land of Canaan there
• 3:01
  shall ye bury me now? Therefore let me go up, I pray
• 3:05
  you, and bury my father, and I will come again.
• 3:08
  So Joseph is asking for a pass to be able to go and to bury his
• 3:14
  father in The Cave of Mapala, runs by mammary in The Cave that
• 3:21
  was bought by Abraham. And you can see here that he has
• 3:28
  a wonderful relationship with Pharaoh, but he is tactful as he
• 3:34
  speaks through Pharaoh's counsel. 6 And Pharaoh said, Go
• 3:40
  up, bear your father, according as he made you swear. 7 And
• 3:45
  Joseph went up to bury his father, and with him went up all
• 3:50
  the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of the house, and the
• 3:53
  elders of the land of Egypt. 8 And all the House of Joseph and
• 3:58
  his brothers and his father's house, only their little ones
• 4:01
  and their flocks and their herds they left in the land of Goshen.
• 4:05
  It was surety that they were coming back, that they were not
• 4:08
  trying to pull a fast one over on Pharaoh. 9 And there went up
• 4:13
  with him both Chariots and horsemen, and it was a very
• 4:16
  great company. 10 And they came to the threshing floor at
• 4:20
  Eightide, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourn
• 4:24
  with the great and very sore lamentation.
• 4:27
  And he made a mourning for his father seven days.
• 4:31
  So this was quite the spectacle, this loud mourning for the
• 4:36
  patriarch that has died. 11 And when the inhabitants of the land
• 4:46
  of Canaan saw the mourning on the floor of Atad, they said
• 4:50
  This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians.
• 4:54
  Wherefore the name of it was called Abel Mizrayem, which is
• 4:58
  beyond Jordan. So Mizraham is always attached
• 5:02
  to the land of Egypt. 12 And his sons did unto him, according as
• 5:07
  he commanded them. Thirteen.
• 5:08
  For his sons carried him into the land of Canaan, and buried
• 5:12
  him in The Cave. The field of Makwala, which
• 5:15
  Abraham bought with the field for a possession of a bearing
• 5:18
  place of Ephron the Hittite, before Mamre. 14 And Joseph
• 5:23
  returned into Egypt, he and his brothers and all that went up
• 5:27
  with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.
• 5:31
  So here you can see that he made good on his word to Israel, and
• 5:36
  he let him know that before he died he would take him back into
• 5:42
  the land there. 15 And when Joseph's brothers saw that their
• 5:47
  father was dead, they said, Joseph will peradventure hate
• 5:52
  us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did
• 5:57
  unto them. So we see this fear come
• 6:00
  creeping in to the brothers, and they remember just how vile and
• 6:05
  despicable they have acted towards Joseph, and they have
• 6:12
  not quite figured out that Joseph has gotten over it.
• 6:16
  And Joseph's going to let them know how he truly feels about
• 6:20
  it. 16 And they sent a messenger unto Joseph, saying, Your father
• 6:25
  did command before he died, saying, 17 So shall you say unto
• 6:33
  Joseph, Forgive, I pray you now the trespass of your brothers
• 6:38
  and their sin, for they did unto you evil.
• 6:41
  And now we pray you forgive the trespass of the servants of the
• 6:46
  God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke
• 6:50
  to him. Perhaps he wept because he knew
• 6:54
  it was all a lie, that Jacob probably did not say this, but
• 7:02
  they made it up so that they could have the Peace of Mind
• 7:08
  that Joseph wasn't going to turn on them and going to torture
• 7:13
  them for all the things that they put him through.
• 7:20
  And he wept because of it. 18 And his brothers also went and
• 7:25
  fell down before his face, and they said, behold, we be your
• 7:29
  servants. So here they're saying, please
• 7:31
  do nothing to us of harm. We are your servants. 19 And
• 7:36
  Joseph said to them, Fear not, for am I in the place of God?
• 7:44
  So he's saying I am not God. Do not fear.
• 7:48
  God has got a hold of me. 20 But As for you, you thought evil
• 7:54
  against me, but God meant it unto good to bring to pass as it
• 7:58
  is this day, to save much people alive.
• 8:01
  So he's saying what the enemy meant for evil.
• 8:03
  God is used for great good, and he wants to do the same thing in
• 8:08
  your life, friend. He wants to take all of your
• 8:13
  misery and turn it into a ministry.
• 8:16
  Never forget that. 21 Now, therefore fear you not.
• 8:24
  I will nourish you and your little ones.
• 8:27
  And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.
• 8:31
  He's saying, do not fear Now that Daddy's not here, I'm not
• 8:35
  going to turn. God has got a hold of me.
• 8:40
  I pray that he has got a hold of you as well.
• 8:43
  And how can you expect to be forgiven if you will not forgive
• 8:48
  others? 22 And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he
• 8:53
  at his father's house. And Joseph lived 110 years. 23
• 8:58
  And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third
• 9:01
  generation. The children also of Mecure, the
• 9:05
  son of Manessa, were brought up upon Joseph's knees.
• 9:08
  So Joseph had a long prosperous life, and he got to see
• 9:12
  generations of his seed be born. 24 And Joseph said to his
• 9:20
  brothers, I die, and God will surely visit you and bring you
• 9:28
  out of this land unto the land which he swore to Abraham and
• 9:33
  Isaac, to Jacob. So here Joseph takes the reign
• 9:37
  of prophesying of the 400 years that they will be enslaved by
• 9:43
  the Egyptians, but they will come out of that place, and
• 9:47
  there will be a mighty nation. 25 And Joseph took an oath of
• 9:55
  the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and
• 9:59
  you shall carry up my bones from here.
• 10:02
  So we know that Joseph was not buried in Egypt.
• 10:06
  His bones sat in a coffin, his bones sat above the ground until
• 10:12
  the 400 years were up, and they took them out of that place and
• 10:18
  buried them in the land of Canaan. 26 So Joseph died being
• 10:25
  110 years old, and they involved him and he was put in a coffin
• 10:30
  in Egypt. Well, in there, friends, what an
• 10:33
  amazing chapter in God's Word. I hope you've been blessed by
• 10:36
  it. You can see how the patriarchs
• 10:38
  are gone and it's been given over to Joseph to prophecy.
• 10:42
  And we know that all the prophecies that he said are
• 10:45
  going to come to fruition and we're going to get to see it as
• 10:48
  the pages of Scripture unfold. I'm praying for you.
• 10:52
  I love you. We'll see you back here
• 10:53
  tomorrow. God bless you.
