Because of a famine in the land of Canaan, however, his brothers (who had earlier betrayed him) came to Egypt in search of food. A disguised Joseph then tested his brothers to see whether they were the same people who had callously sold him into slavery, or whether they had undergone <em>teshuvah<\/em> (repentance).<\/p>\n<p>The eventual revelation of Joseph and his reconciliation with his brothers is a prophetic picture of <em>acharit ha-yamim<\/em> (the &#8220;End of Days&#8221;) when Israel, in Great Tribulation, will come to accept Yeshua as Israel&#8217;s true deliverer. Presently, the veil is still over the eyes of the Jewish people and they collectively regard Yeshua as an &#8220;Egyptian&#8221; of sorts. In this connection, I list some of the ways that Joseph is a &#8220;type&#8221; or foreshadowing of the coming Yeshua as the Suffering Servant (see \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hebrew4christians.com\/Articles\/Mashiach_ben_Yosef\/mashiach_ben_yosef.html\">Mashiach ben Yosef<\/a>\u201d).<br \/>\n\u00ad<\/p>\n<p><strong>Miketz Podcast:<\/strong><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-7204-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/shavuah-tov-Miketz.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/shavuah-tov-Miketz.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/shavuah-tov-Miketz.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2636 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/miketz.jpg?resize=980%2C735&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"980\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/miketz.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/miketz.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/miketz.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/miketz.jpg?resize=210%2C158&amp;ssl=1 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 980px) 100vw, 980px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our Torah portion for Chanukah week, parashat Miketz (i.e., Gen. 41:1-44:17) we will read how imprisoned Joseph successfully interpreted Pharaoh&#8217;s dreams and suddenly rose to power in Egypt.
