Amen. 00:01:13.500 --> 00:01:14.720 Genesis chapter 48. 00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:20.980 Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, Indeed, your father is sick. 00:01:21.460 --> 00:01:24.420 And he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim. 00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:29.060 And Jacob was told, Look, your son Joseph is coming to you. 00:01:29.540 --> 00:01:32.540 And Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed. 00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:39.160 Then Jacob said to Joseph, God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me, 00:01:39.800 --> 00:01:46.240 and said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, 00:01:47.020 --> 00:01:50.940 and give this land to your descendants after you as an everlasting possession. 00:01:51.659 --> 00:01:58.660 And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine. 00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:01.740 As Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine. 00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:05.440 Your offspring, whom you beget after them, shall be yours. 00:02:05.840 --> 00:02:08.500 They will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance. 00:02:09.259 --> 00:02:14.260 But as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, 00:02:14.700 --> 00:02:17.140 when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath. 00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:21.140 And I buried her there on the way to Ephrath, that is, Bethlehem. 00:02:22.260 --> 00:02:25.660 Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these? 00:02:26.200 --> 00:02:30.580 And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. 00:02:31.480 --> 00:02:34.260 And he said, Please bring them to me, and I will bless them. 00:02:35.160 --> 00:02:38.780 Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. 00:02:39.840 --> 00:02:43.020 Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them. 00:02:43.320 --> 00:02:50.460 And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see your face, but in fact God has also shown me your offspring. 00:02:51.700 --> 00:02:56.400 So Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he bowed down with his face to the earth. 00:02:57.060 --> 00:03:01.620 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel's left hand, 00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:06.540 and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him. 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:11.940 Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, 00:03:12.220 --> 00:03:17.840 and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn. 00:03:18.700 --> 00:03:24.900 And he blessed Joseph and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, 00:03:25.300 --> 00:03:31.920 the God who has fed me all my life long to this day, the angel who has redeemed me from all evil, 00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:38.980 bless the lads, let my name be named upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac, 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.560 and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth. 00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:47.300 Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, 00:03:47.650 --> 00:03:48.580 it displeased him. 00:03:49.260 --> 00:03:53.740 So he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head. 00:03:54.260 --> 00:03:59.020 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn. 00:03:59.460 --> 00:04:01.160 Put your right hand on his head. 00:04:02.040 --> 00:04:05.720 But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. 00:04:05.940 --> 00:04:09.880 He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great. 00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:16.660 But truly this younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations. 00:04:18.060 --> 00:04:25.260 So he blessed them that day, saying, By you Israel will bless, saying, May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh. 00:04:25.660 --> 00:04:28.100 And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh. 00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:35.880 Then Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and will bring you back to the land of your fathers. 00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:43.760 Moreover, I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow. 00:04:44.660 --> 00:04:45.960 Genesis chapter 49 00:04:47.160 --> 00:04:53.760 Then Jacob sent for his sons. He said, Gather around me so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come. 00:04:54.340 --> 00:04:56.760 Sons of Jacob, come together and listen. 00:04:57.700 --> 00:04:59.120 Listen to your father Israel. 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:02.320 Reuben, you are my oldest son. 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.080 You were my first child. 00:05:04.700 --> 00:05:06.540 You were the first sign of my strength. 00:05:07.460 --> 00:05:08.480 You were first in honor. 00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:10.000 You were first in power. 00:05:10.780 --> 00:05:13.980 But you are as unsteady as water, so you won't be first anymore. 00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:18.060 You had sex with your father's concubine in his bed. 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:20.720 You lay on his couch and made it unclean. 00:05:22.060 --> 00:05:23.720 Simeon and Levi are brothers. 00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:30.280 Their swords have killed a lot of people. I won't share in their plans. I won't have anything to do 00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:36.620 with them. They became angry and killed people. They cut the legs of oxen just for the fun of it. 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:42.760 May the Lord put a curse on them because of their terrible anger. I will scatter them in Jacob's 00:05:42.900 --> 00:05:49.879 land. I will spread them around in Israel. Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your enemies will 00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:56.580 be brought under your control. Your father's sons will bow down to you. Judah, you are like a lion's 00:05:56.740 --> 00:06:04.160 cub. You return from hunting, my son. Like a lion, you lie down and sleep. You are like a mother lion. 00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:11.340 Who dares to wake you up? The right to rule will not leave Judah. The ruler's rod will not be taken 00:06:11.430 --> 00:06:17.539 from between his feet. It will be his until the king it belongs to comes. It will be his until the 00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:24.440 nations obey him. He will tie his donkey to a vine. He will tie his colt to the very best branch. 00:06:24.940 --> 00:06:29.820 He will wash his clothes in wine. He will wash his robes in the red juice of grapes. 00:06:30.700 --> 00:06:34.720 His eyes will be darker than wine. His teeth will be whiter than milk. 00:06:36.180 --> 00:06:40.540 Zebulun will live by the seashore. He will become a safe harbor for ships. 00:06:41.260 --> 00:06:47.520 His border will go out towards Sidon. Issachar is like a donkey lying down between two 00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:54.240 saddlebags. He sees how good his resting place is. He sees that his land is pleasant, so he'll carry 00:06:54.310 --> 00:07:01.520 a heavy load on his back. He will obey when he's forced to work. Dan will do what is fair for his 00:07:01.660 --> 00:07:07.640 people. He will do it as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan will be a serpent by the side of the 00:07:07.780 --> 00:07:14.500 road. He will be a poisonous snake along the path. It bites the horse's heels so that the rider falls 00:07:14.520 --> 00:07:21.700 off backward. Lord, I look to you to save me. Gad will be attacked by a group of robbers, 00:07:22.300 --> 00:07:28.920 but he'll attack them as they run away. Asher's food will be rich and sweet. He will provide food 00:07:29.120 --> 00:07:35.780 that even a king would enjoy. Naphtali is a female deer that is set free and gives birth to beautiful 00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:42.920 fawns. Joseph is a vine that grows a lot of fruit. It grows close by a spring. Its branches climb 00:07:42.940 --> 00:07:49.240 over a wall. Mean people shot arrows at him. They shot at him because they were angry. But his bow 00:07:49.420 --> 00:07:55.400 remained steady. His strong arms moved freely. The hand of the Mighty One of Jacob was with him. 00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:02.640 The shepherd, the Rock of Israel, stood by him. Your Father's God helps you. The Mighty One blesses 00:08:02.780 --> 00:08:07.920 you. He gives you blessings from the highest heavens. He gives you blessings from the deepest 00:08:07.920 --> 00:08:14.100 oceans. He blesses you with children and with a mother's milk. Your father's blessings are great. 00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:19.200 They are greater than all the blessings from the age-old mountains. They are greater than the 00:08:19.380 --> 00:08:24.880 gifts from the ancient hills. Let all of those blessings rest on the head of Joseph. Let them 00:08:25.040 --> 00:08:31.160 rest on the head of the one who is prince among his brothers. Benjamin is a hungry wolf. In the 00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:37.260 morning he eats what he has killed. In the evening he shares what he has stolen. All of those are the 00:08:37.280 --> 00:08:41.419 twelve tribes of Israel. That's what their father said to them when he blessed them. 00:08:41.969 --> 00:08:45.140 He gave each one the blessing that was just right for him. 00:08:46.560 --> 00:08:52.360 Then Jacob gave directions to his sons. He said, I'm about to join the members of my family who 00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:57.460 have already died. Bury me with them in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite. 00:08:57.790 --> 00:09:03.280 The cave is in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre, in Canaan. Abraham had bought it as a place where 00:09:03.300 --> 00:09:08.620 he could bury his wife's body. He had bought the cave from Ephron the Hittite, along with the field. 00:09:09.320 --> 00:09:14.460 The bodies of Abraham and his wife Sarah were buried there. So were the bodies of Isaac and 00:09:14.620 --> 00:09:20.660 his wife Rebekah. I also buried Leah's body there. Abraham bought the field and the cave from the 00:09:20.780 --> 00:09:27.000 Hittites. When Jacob had finished telling his sons what to do, he pulled his feet up into his bed. 00:09:27.800 --> 00:09:32.720 Then he took his last breath and joined the members of his family who had already died. 00:09:33.260 --> 00:09:34.420 Genesis chapter 50 00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:37.940 Joseph threw himself on his father's body. 00:09:38.430 --> 00:09:40.220 He sobbed over him and kissed him. 00:09:40.780 --> 00:09:42.900 Then Joseph talked to the doctors who served him. 00:09:43.580 --> 00:09:46.600 He told him to prepare the body of his father Israel to be buried. 00:09:47.360 --> 00:09:48.640 So the doctors prepared it. 00:09:49.010 --> 00:09:50.740 They took forty days to do it. 00:09:51.160 --> 00:09:54.080 They needed that much time to prepare a body in the right way. 00:09:54.680 --> 00:09:57.300 The Egyptians sobbed over Jacob for seventy days. 00:09:58.280 --> 00:10:02.160 After the days of sorrow had passed, Joseph went to Pharaoh's officials. 00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:20.480 He said to them, If you are pleased with me, speak to Pharaoh for me. Tell him, My father made me take an oath and make a promise to him. He said, I am about to die. Bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan. So let me go up and bury my father. Then I will come back. 00:10:21.600 --> 00:10:25.900 Pharaoh said, Go up and bury your father. Do what he made you promise to do. 00:10:26.900 --> 00:10:31.940 So Joseph went up to bury his father. All of Pharaoh's officials went with him. They were 00:10:31.940 --> 00:10:37.300 the important people of his court and all the leaders of Egypt. All of Joseph's family also 00:10:37.580 --> 00:10:42.240 went. His brothers and all the rest of his father's family went too. Only their children 00:10:42.340 --> 00:10:47.280 and their flocks and herds were left in Goshen. Chariots and horsemen also went up with him. 00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:52.620 It was a very large group. They came to the threshing floor of Atad. It was near the Jordan 00:10:52.760 --> 00:10:58.960 River. There they sobbed loudly and bitterly. Joseph set apart seven days of sadness to honor 00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:03.880 his father's memory. The people of Canaan who were living there saw how sad all of them were 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:09.280 at the threshing floor of Atad. They said, The Egyptians are having a very special service for 00:11:09.280 --> 00:11:15.939 the dead. That's why that place near the Jordan River is called Abel of the Egyptians. So Jacob's 00:11:15.960 --> 00:11:21.540 sons did exactly as he had commanded them. They carried his body to the land of Canaan. They 00:11:21.800 --> 00:11:26.860 buried it in the cave in the field of Machpelah near Mamre. Abraham had bought the cave as a 00:11:27.020 --> 00:11:31.440 place where he could bury his wife's body. He had bought it from Ephraim the Hittite along with the 00:11:31.610 --> 00:11:37.540 field. After Joseph buried his father, he went back to Egypt. His brothers and all of the others who 00:11:37.540 --> 00:11:43.040 had gone up to help him bury his father went back with him. Now that their father was dead, 00:11:43.460 --> 00:11:48.560 Joseph's brothers were worried. They said, Remember all of the bad things we did to Joseph? 00:11:49.380 --> 00:11:53.600 What if he decides to hold those things against us? What if he pays us back for them? 00:11:54.700 --> 00:12:00.180 So they sent a message to Joseph. They said, Your father gave us directions before he died. 00:12:00.570 --> 00:12:06.040 He said, Here's what you must say to Joseph. Tell him, I'm asking you to forgive your brothers. 00:12:06.520 --> 00:12:10.920 Forgive the terrible things they did to you. Forgive them for treating you so badly. 00:12:11.780 --> 00:12:13.860 Now then, please forgive our sins. 00:12:14.440 --> 00:12:15.980 We serve the God of your father. 00:12:16.840 --> 00:12:19.380 When the message came to Joseph, he sobbed. 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.120 Then his brothers came and threw themselves down in front of him. 00:12:23.580 --> 00:12:25.220 We are your slaves, they said. 00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:28.160 But Joseph said to them, Don't be afraid. 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:30.000 Do you think I'm God? 00:12:30.540 --> 00:12:33.380 You planned to harm me, but God planned it for good. 00:12:34.400 --> 00:12:36.660 He planned to do what is now being done. 00:12:37.040 --> 00:12:38.860 He wanted to save many lives. 00:12:39.380 --> 00:12:41.020 So then, don't be afraid. 00:12:41.640 --> 00:12:47.100 I'll provide for you and your children. He set them free from their fears, and he spoke in a 00:12:47.140 --> 00:12:53.780 kind way to them. Joseph stayed in Egypt, along with all his father's family. He lived a hundred 00:12:53.900 --> 00:12:59.780 and ten years. He lived long enough to see Ephraim's children and grandchildren. When the children of 00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:05.419 Makir were born, they were placed on Joseph's knees and counted as his own children. Makir was 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:12.280 the son of Manasseh. Joseph said to his brothers, I'm about to die, but I'm sure that God will come 00:13:12.280 --> 00:13:17.680 to help you. He'll take you up out of this land. He'll bring you to the land he promised with an 00:13:17.820 --> 00:13:24.540 oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Joseph made the sons of Israel take an oath and make a 00:13:24.680 --> 00:13:30.139 promise to him. He said, I'm sure that God will come to help you. Then you must carry my bones up 00:13:30.160 --> 00:13:36.460 from this place. So Joseph died at the age of 110. They prepared his body to be buried. 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:45.300 Then he was placed in a casket in Egypt. In chapters 48 and 49, we saw the last days of Jacob. 00:13:45.890 --> 00:13:51.760 And the first half of chapter 50 deals with the days between Jacob's death and burial. And then 00:13:51.760 --> 00:13:57.319 the first part of the last half of the chapter tells us that Joseph's brothers were afraid that 00:13:57.340 --> 00:14:02.000 now that Jacob was dead, Joseph would punish them for how they treated him when he was younger. 00:14:02.280 --> 00:14:07.780 I'll get back to that in a moment. The close of chapter 50 tells us about Joseph's death at the 00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:13.580 age of 110 years. Now back to Joseph and his frightened brothers. Of course, from a human 00:14:13.960 --> 00:14:18.700 perspective, Joseph had every reason to want to take revenge on his brothers. They sold him into 00:14:18.900 --> 00:14:23.759 slavery, after all. But he was able to look back over his life and how God had been with him through 00:14:23.780 --> 00:14:29.500 every hardship and throughout his time as Pharaoh's second-in-command. And he said to his brothers, 00:14:30.160 --> 00:14:38.020 you planned to harm me, but God planned it for good. Note that. Joseph said God planned it for 00:14:38.180 --> 00:14:44.660 good. The Hebrew word there that we translated there as planned is chashab. Let me tell you the 00:14:44.960 --> 00:14:53.139 literal meaning of the word. It means to weave. So Joseph said, but God weaved it for good. I often 00:14:53.160 --> 00:14:59.440 think of our lives as a tapestry. Have you ever looked closely at a tapestry? When you get up 00:14:59.530 --> 00:15:05.940 close, very close, close enough to see the individual threads, all you see are the threads. 00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:11.140 From that vantage point, it doesn't look like much. It might not have any beauty at all, 00:15:11.140 --> 00:15:16.880 as a matter of fact. You don't see the design because you're too close. But the one who wove 00:15:17.040 --> 00:15:22.420 that tapestry had a specific design in mind, and through careful planning and execution, 00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:25.280 The finished product is a work of art. 00:15:25.860 --> 00:15:29.940 And when you stand far enough away from it to see the whole tapestry, it's beautiful. 00:15:30.940 --> 00:15:35.320 On a day-to-day basis, we only see our lives from very, very close up. 00:15:35.780 --> 00:15:37.040 We only see the threads. 00:15:37.660 --> 00:15:40.260 We can't see the finished product like God can. 00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:43.940 He has a specific design in mind for you and for me. 00:15:44.780 --> 00:15:50.060 He takes the things that happen in our lives and wheezes them into a beautiful, finished tapestry. 00:15:51.140 --> 00:15:53.040 Romans 8.28 says it a bit differently. 00:15:53.660 --> 00:15:57.880 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, 00:15:58.260 --> 00:16:00.540 to those who are called according to His purpose. 00:16:02.200 --> 00:16:04.920 When I look at my life from a one-day perspective, 00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:08.540 when that's all I'm looking at, depending on how the day is going, 00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:13.540 I might think I'm on top of the world, or I might be discouraged beyond measure. 00:16:14.240 --> 00:16:19.100 But if I look back over the years, I can easily see how God has cheshabbed me. 00:16:19.760 --> 00:16:22.340 I don't know if that's the proper Hebrew, but you get the idea. 00:16:22.900 --> 00:16:28.380 God has woven the days of my life into a tapestry that I hope will be beautiful when it's finished. 00:16:28.980 --> 00:16:31.420 And I have to say, so far, I'm happy with it. 00:16:31.780 --> 00:16:35.800 And with him as the artist, I'm confident that it will be just what he planned. 00:16:36.640 --> 00:16:39.200 Tomorrow we'll read 1 Samuel 11-15. 00:16:40.040 --> 00:16:42.240 Here's the verse of the day. 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:48.880 Our verse of the day is Genesis 50, verse 20. 00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:53.060 You planned to harm me, but God planned it for good. 00:16:53.390 --> 00:16:55.880 He planned to do what is now being done. 00:16:56.400 --> 00:16:58.040 He wanted to save many lives. 00:16:58.740 --> 00:17:00.480 Genesis 50, verse 20. 00:17:06.819 --> 00:17:13.140 On this date in church history, in 1523, the city council of Zurich convened what became 00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:16.040 known as the First Zurich Disputation. 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:23.079 At that public forum, Holdrick Zwingli defended his call for reform by appealing directly to 00:17:23.280 --> 00:17:29.040 Scripture. What a concept! After the debate, the Council ruled that preaching in Zurich should be 00:17:29.170 --> 00:17:35.400 guided by the Bible rather than by church tradition alone. That decision moved reform 00:17:35.490 --> 00:17:41.359 out of private argument and into public life. Zurich officially allowed change to proceed on 00:17:41.380 --> 00:17:46.840 biblical grounds, shaping how the Reformation unfolded in Switzerland and influencing Protestant 00:17:47.020 --> 00:17:53.300 movements far beyond it. Scripture was no longer treated as distant authority. It was placed before 00:17:53.800 --> 00:18:00.100 ordinary people and civic leaders alike. Alongside this, the early Reformation period also brought a 00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:06.599 cultural and worship change that deserves notice. As Scripture was preached more clearly, worship 00:18:06.620 --> 00:18:12.680 itself began to change. Services increasingly used the language of the people, congregational 00:18:12.920 --> 00:18:18.260 singing expanded, and the focus moved from ritual toward teaching, prayer, and shared 00:18:18.560 --> 00:18:24.460 participation. That combination, public scripture and accessible worship, helped reshape how 00:18:24.750 --> 00:18:28.720 everyday believers understood faith, church, and their place within it. 00:18:33.080 --> 00:18:39.020 Praises and prayer requests are Wednesday, which, as you know, I will record tomorrow since tomorrow is Tuesday. 00:18:39.800 --> 00:18:44.760 If you have something to bring to the Lifespring family for prayer, send it in ASAP. 00:18:45.580 --> 00:18:53.040 Send it to prayer.lifespringmedia.com or steve at lifespringmedia.com or the Lifespring Family Hotline. 00:18:57.740 --> 00:19:04.740 Lifestring Family Hotline, 951-732-8511. 00:19:06.660 --> 00:19:16.220 Lifestring Family, Family Hotline, 951-732-8511. 00:19:20.560 --> 00:19:24.160 When you send your prayer requests in, I'll pray for you in my daily prayer time. 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:30.040 And I'll pray for you on the show so that we can all agree together as we take our requests to God. 00:19:30.260 --> 00:19:32.840 If you enjoy the show, tell someone. 00:19:43.320 --> 00:19:50.060 Beloved, when we look at Joseph's life, we see that what others intend for harm, God is already weaving for good. 00:19:50.820 --> 00:19:55.160 We may only see today's threads, but the God who calls us according to His purpose 00:19:55.600 --> 00:19:58.600 is faithfully working all things together for our good. 00:19:59.670 --> 00:20:02.140 Until tomorrow, beloved, may God bless you richly. 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.100 Thank you so much for being here and including me in your day. 00:20:05.740 --> 00:20:06.820 My name is Steve Webb. 00:20:07.580 --> 00:20:07.660 Bye. 00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:15.520 All the programs in the Lifespring Media family are made possible by your value-for-value support. 00:20:16.260 --> 00:20:16.620 Thank you. 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.240 The Lifespring One Year Bible Rewind is a Lifespring Media production 00:20:22.540 --> 00:20:26.080 hosted by Steve Webb, the OG Godcaster, since 2004.
