THE LIFE OF JOSEPH – LESSON 22
JOSEPH GIVES THE HIGHEST HONOR
After Jacob had given his twelve sons each a prophetic blessing, he now gave them instructions for his final disposition. (Genesis 49:29-33).) Egypt was not his home. He told them that they must take his body back home to Canaan to be buried with his fathers.
It was a very specific location, near Mamre (which was in Hebron) in the cave in the field of Machpelah. It was bought by Abraham from Ephron the Hittite to be a family burial ground. Buried there were Abraham and his wife Sarah, Isaac and his wife Rebekah, and Jacob’s wife Leah. Only Rachel was not there for she was buried at Bethlehem. When Jacob finished giving his final wishes, he gathered himself into the bed and “yielded up the ghost (spirit).”
Opening Genesis chapter 50 we see Joseph falling upon his father’s deceased body, kissing it and weeping. He then had the Egyptian physicians embalm Jacob’s body in the same manner as Pharaoh or any important Egyptian. The embalmed body laid in state for forty days before being taken away. The mourning period continued for seventy days.
The forty days is interesting. We have seen throughout the Bible that forty is a very significant number. It marks a transition period from one era of life as preparation for a new era of life. Apparently even the pagan Egyptians understood that as well. They would keep the embalmed body 40 days before entombment. They would include artifacts and wealth with the body that may presumably be needed in the “next life,” which did them no benefit. Many centuries later, the only benefactors were illicit “tomb raiders” who stole the artifacts.
We also see the number seventy in the Bible. Jesus sent out 70 disciples with power to do miracles, signs, and wonders. Daniel speaks of the 70 weeks for the history of man in this world, each week perhaps corresponding to a century, thus seven millenniums. Egyptians mourned death for 70 days.
Jacob’s love for his father was made public to all of Egypt by the embalming which was reserved only for one of a very high standing. It was the highest of honors.
Just as Joseph had such great love for his earthly father, so should we have such great love for our Heavenly Father. Just as Joseph gave his father the highest honor, so should we both publicly and privately honor our Heavenly Father. Yes, publicly honor our Heavenly Father, who also is one with Jesus.

NEW WINESKINS
Jesus spoke a parable in Matthew 9:16-17, “No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse. Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.” The “bottles” were not glass bottles as we think of bottles today. They were wineskins, made out of the hide of a goat or a cow.
New wineskins would stretch with the aging of the wine , whereas old wineskins had already been stretched and were brittle, and would burst if they put wine in them that was new because of the process of aging.
Jesus was speaking of us being the wineskin. Our old “wineskin” represents who we are before salvation, already molded, stretched, hard, and brittle. He was saying it would take a new wineskin for us to be able to hold the things of the “Spirit” that cause us to grow. Like a snake that sheds it skin when it grows, we must shed the things that hinder us from growing also.
What things? Sin, pride, lack of faith and anything contrary to expanding our life in Christ. Sometimes it means shedding people from our lives that hinder us. The parable also talks about putting the old and new together. This never works, because the new will pull against the old and the rent (tear) will always happen.
This also speaks of uniting or binding together a believer with a non-believer. It won’t work! The non-believer has no room to grow spiritually, and the relationship will tear when trials come. It is wisdom to refrain from entering into business or any other relationship as believers with someone that is a non-believer. I have seen this happen and it will only bring problems down the road. We are not to be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. (II Corinthians 6:14.) This verse goes on to say that it is communing darkness with light. It doesn’t work!
The new must join the new in order for it to expand and not be ripped apart my friends. Are you training your children and grandchildren these facts before they make the mistake that will bring heartache? A worn, old piece of old fabric that rips easily will never yield the service that a new piece will yield. On the other hand, in our lives when you unite the new (born again spiritually) with the new it will bring strength and the ability to grow together spiritually. We must train ourselves and our children and grandchildren to look for the right “new wineskin” that God has for them.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
Would you come apart and be with me today saith the Lord? For I would take the time to have you sit at my feet and just enjoy being in your presence. Yes, I enjoy that as much as you do my child. There are so few that turn the distractions off and come to this place and rest in my presence. For here, in this hour it is more necessary than ever. For I will show you of things to come and warm your heart with my love. Many have grown cold towards me for they think that I have forgotten them when prayers are not answered the way they expected. For those that are truly intimate with me, know that there must be a shedding away of the old, in order for the new to come. Many are hanging on to the old wineskin which cannot hold the new for it would burst. As they do not understand, they have walked away in disappointment. I will not force my presence upon anyone. I would say, it is of the free will to come and be close.
Yet, it takes more than a yes, I will. It takes a resolve to tune out everything that is a distraction and just sit quietly at my feet. I would say to you that as the old wineskin is removed, that the new will be far better than the old. It will cause your faith to grow and be stretched in the hours ahead. It must happen if the remnant is to rise up in my Spirit and do what I desire them to do. There has to be a shedding and a shredding. Shredding Lord? Yes. Shredding of that which was the old so that there is no place to go back to. Shredding the hopes and dreams that have failed and shredding the disappointments and even the victories. For if you dwell on the what ifs, and the what weres, you can never become the what is. So, my child, sit at my feet and let me do the work necessary to bring you to that place of total dependence on me. Not on any others or anything. Totally dependent upon me. I will remove the old and place the new upon you. During this time, it will be painful, for not only am I removing the old things but also removing some people from your life, which is necessary for you to grow into the new wineskin. Oh, what a beautiful wineskin it will be as you yield to me. I have long waited for you to come to me and allow me to do this my child. For the hours ahead will require it more than ever. And, when I am finished, you shall shine like pure gold refined in the furnace, yes, the furnace, but my reflection shall be upon you as you allow this. When others see you, they will see me. For this is your hour to be what I have called you to be saith the Lord.
