There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan
that can succeed against the Lord.
31 The horse is made ready for the day of battle,
but victory rests with the Lord. Proverbs 21:30, 31
The final outcome of human history has already been written – NO PLAN, earthly or demonic can succeed against the Lord(our Lord!).
Joseph means may ‘He add’ and in Egypt God built a nation.
Three things from the time of Joseph that happened during a SHIFT OR SHAKING(Famine) of the Mediterranean area;
SILVER, they didn’t trade in currency (no mints in those days), the Israelites tried to buy grain with precious metal. (Joseph returned the silver in his brothers’ sacks, Genesis 44) I don’t want to be alarmist but Currencies may become worthless in the future.
Joseph was alone when he revealed himself to his brothers. Genesis 45:1 Jesus will reveal Himself to His brothers, the Jews, at a time of His choosing with no one else present.
GOSHEN, the place prepared by Joseph and the Lord for His people in Egypt. A ‘Community of God’s people’ in the midst of a land dominated by false gods. Communities of peoples, under God’s government will appear on the earth. People will flee there in desperation to find help as life becomes more difficult under harsh anti-God rulers. The Bible talks of Cities of Refuge and the Church has known places where powerful Revival broke out; God is well able to provide for His people in any and every situation.
In the time of Jesus and the early Church, Roman rule extended over a vast area – an empire (the legs of iron of the statue in Daniel 2). Roman government, roads and currency saw a huge explosion in trading. The Greek language was also the common language of the people. God and the Church used it all to carry the message of the Messiah’s coming throughout the known world.
Today we have the Information Highway or the Internet. Huge quantities of data are being collected/mined by governments and private companies on people right across the earth, but God has also used the technology for His purposes. Despite attempts to silence or manipulate world news, God’s plans for the close of the Age are advancing.
God used Laban to trick Jacob and birth a large family. He used the ‘Iron Furnace of Egypt’ Deuteronomy 4:20 to birth a nation/people for Himself. He used the Roman Empire and Greek language to spread the Gospel message and enlarge the Church.
God will use the technology and the WORLD WIDE SHAKINGS/SHIFT of the present time for His Kingdom purposes. There will be birth pains, a normal part of the process, but God’s purposes will prevail and they’re the only hope for mankind.
While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were all broken to pieces and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth. Daniel 2:34, 35
