WE look at Joseph as a type of Christ, and as an illustration of the believer. There is one point to which we draw attention, namely, the sufferings of Joseph.
Joseph being ill-treated by his brethren, is a type of the ill-treatment that Christ received at the hands of His brethren, and is an illustration of what we must expect from those who are not the Lord’s.
There are seven things that Joseph’s brethren did to him. They hated him (Gen. 37:4-5, 8), they envied him (Gen. 37:11), they conspired against him (Gen. 37:18), they were going to kill him (Gen. 37:20), they stripped him (Gen. 37:23), they cast him into a pit (Gen. 37:24), and they sold him to the Ishmaelites (Gen. 37:28). All this is typical of the treatment that Christ received from His brethren according to the flesh.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
