[Guest In Him]

And Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt,

in the country of Goshen;

and they had possessions therein,

and grew, and multiplied exceedingly.

And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years:

so the whole age of Jacob was a hundred forty and seven years.

And the time drew nigh that Israel must die:

and he called his son Joseph, and said unto him,

If now I have found grace in thy sight,

put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh,

and deal kindly and truly with me;

bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt:

But I will lie with my fathers,

and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt,

and bury me in their burying place. (Hebron)

And he said, I will do as thou hast said.

And he said, Swear unto me.

And he sware unto him.

And Israel bowed himself upon the bed's head.

Genesis 47:27-31

Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh

And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph,

Behold, thy father is sick:

and he took with him his two sons,

Manasseh and Ephraim.

And one told Jacob, and said,

Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee:

and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.

Genesis 48:1-2

Rachel weeping for her children because they are no more .     And we notice Rachel was buried in what would be named as bethelehem .   And we notice its where the children two and under were slaughtered .    OH but IT is also WHERE OUR LORD WAS BORN , many , many nights ago .   Let all lift those hands and with thankful hearts , sing a song of praise to the LORD .

Talk about a foreshadow .    Joseph was an example of a savoir of Israel .   And his children were born to a gentile woman , grafted into the fold to be the seen the same as even the

first born of Israel were .     And many years later the ONE TRUE SAVOIR CHRIST JESUS WOULD come and gather those of the jews that were his sheep

and those of the gentiles who were His sheep and the two would become one fold .     I gotta say , ITS TIME TO PRAISE THE LORD YET AGAIN .  OH LET the praises of THANKSGIVING

be sang to the LORD OUR SAVOIR .  THE ONLY and do I say ONLY NAME wherby one is saved .    For allah , budda and all others are false and as winds of utter vanity .

BUT JESUS ALONE IS SAVOIR , repent and believe , Confess HIM and forsake all evil ways and learn of HIM .     For a nasty all inclusive stone of diverse paths and ways

has rome lodged under a tower built with untempered and untried morter .   And though they add many stones and though it reach very high ,

NEVER will it be reconized as salvation unto GOD , and the very STONE they rejected as the ONLY WAY ,  will smash it flat on HIS DAY.

Jacob Blesses Ephraim and Manasseh
…7Now as for me, when I was returning from Paddan, to my sorrow Rachel died along the way in the land of Canaan, some distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem). 8When Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he asked, “Who are these?”9Joseph said to his father, “They are the sons God has given me in this place.” So Jacob said, “Please bring them to me, that I may bless them.”…Gen 48:7-9

[Guest In Him]

And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said,

"Who are these?"

And Joseph said unto his father,

"They are my sons,

whom God hath given me in this place."

And he said, "Bring them, I pray thee, unto me,

and I will bless them."

Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age,

so that he could not see.

And he brought them near unto him;

and he kissed them,

and embraced them.

Genesis 48:8-10

[Guest In Him]

And Israel said unto Joseph,

"I had not thought to see thy face:

and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed."

And Joseph brought them out from between his knees,

and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

And Joseph took them both,

Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand,

and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand,

and brought them near unto him.

Genesis 48:11-13
