In the type, Joseph’s brothers rejected him as did Jesus’ Jewish brethren in the anti-type. This rejection 2000 years ago began a timeline in which we now live. The following understanding is not for the purpose of learning Biblical history, but that we might be enlightened in the heart by the Holy Spirit to surrender to the intended purpose for which we are alive this very day…

The two ‘7’ types in Genesis Chapters 41 & 42 of a ‘time of plenty’ and a ‘time of famine’ in God’s antitype playing out now, have the appointing of the ‘first-born sons’ of God to rule over this Realm in view. Those three firstborns being Jesus, Israel, and Christlike-ones. All in the Joseph type was Sovereignly synchronized, and so it is also synchronized in the anti-type towards God’s goal… that of His new Governmental order to be set up in this Realm. HERE IS THE CURRENT STATE OF THIS REALM (ITS EARTH AND ITS HEAVEN) IN WHICH WE LIVE TODAY AS IT RELATES TO GOD’S SOON COMING NEW APPOINTED GOVERNMENTAL ORDER.

Jesus the Son of Man, the only begotten Son and First Born of God from the ‘dead’ is now raised up in the third Heaven as the Mediator for the redeemed. Whereas His appointed place in God’s Governmental order is soon to be in the first heaven of this Realm where He will sit upon His Throne as King of Kings ruling over its Earth and heaven. His worthy Bride/the firstborn sons of the Father, are waiting to be caught up to the first heaven to sit on thrones beside the Bridegroom and co-rule with Him over this Realm instead of Angels/angels.

Satan and his angels are currently ruling from the first heaven of this Realm over the Earth, whereas their appointed place is to be chained in the Pit of Hades (to be fulfilled in the future). Israel; first born sons of the Father, are estranged from Him, struggling for survival in the Land, and at enmity with the Gentile Nations… whereas she is appointed to be, and soon will be preeminent in the Earth over the Nations, BUT only after she has passed through the fiery trials and judgements of God. The Nations are instruments of satan and his angels in the perpetuation of the World, upon which the Great Wrath of God is set to come. The Nations being currently outside their appointed place in His new Governmental order, wherein they are to serve and receive the blessings of Israel.

In the 41st Chapter, two ‘7’-year periods (two complete times, as 7 means ‘completion’ biblically-speaking) with connecting events are revealed by Joseph to Pharaoh as 7 years of plenty followed by 7 years of famine. Joseph in the type was alongside Pharaoh as his administrator during each ‘7’ complete periods, which speaks to Jesus in the antitype as being alongside the Father as His Administrator in the two complete consecutive periods typed in Genesis 41, which is now the spiritual reality before us to wondrously and solemnly consider.

(The number ‘7’ in Scripture means perfection or ‘completion’ of the thing which is in God’s view.)
So in the type, completion of that which was in view, was first 7 years of plenty followed by completion of that which was also in view; 7 years of famine. It is in the anti-type that there are two complete periods of time back to back where what is in view in each period is brought to perfection or completion. A complete time of ‘plenty’ is now in the making for the last 2000 years, wherein the thing in view is Jesus’ heavenly Bride being assembled out of the Gentiles for God’s Great Name, as generations of worthies have been put in waiting in Hades, until the King and Bridegroom takes His investiture and begins Ruling in this Realm from its heaven. (Revelation 4&5) And then soon the Bride Queen will be caught up and presented to the Bridegroom. The heavenly investiture is a sign of the ‘completion’ of that which was in view. The days of plenty are completed… it is followed by the set time of the grievous famine (Tribulation) on the Earth wherein the Earth will forget the ‘plenty.’ (Genesis 41:29-31… “Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt: And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land; And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.” Matthew 24:21… “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.”)

And as in the Joseph type, wherein his brethren do not escape the ‘great famine,’ the Jews (Jesus’ brethren in the Anti-type) reappear on the scene, having made that 7-year covenant (which corresponds with the 7-year great tribulation period) with the man of sin (the Anti-Christ), and after 3 ½ years, the covenant is broken by him, and then the Jews are ‘driven’ from the Land by satan. (Revelation 12:6,12-17… “And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days.” … “Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time. And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time (3 ½ years), from the face of the serpent. And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”)

And as in the type where Joseph reveals himself to his brethren after he had ‘revealed them to them’… likewise then Jesus will reveal Himself to His brethren after the great tribulation/“Jacob’s Trouble,” which is a period of time where the Jews are ‘revealed them to them’ and wherein only 1/3 will survive. (Zechariah 13:8-9… “And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.” See also Zechariah 13:8a,9,10a which speaks of their restoration after the 7-year period… “In that day shall the Lord defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem… And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications…” And Jeremiah 31:35-37 shows the absurdity of those who think Israel was cut off permanently from the promises given to them through Abraham… “Thus saith the Lord, which giveth the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divideth the sea when the waves thereof roar; The Lord of hosts is his name: If those ordinances depart from before me, saith the Lord, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever. Thus saith the Lord; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath (which is impossible), I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, saith the Lord.” Indeed, God fulfills the irrevocable promises He has made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.)

This ‘completeness’ symbolized by the number ‘7’ is throughout the Bible and actually outlines the end from the beginning. (Isaiah 46:10… “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure…”)

The time of the creation of Adam and Eve was on the 6th day (of a 7-day 24-hour period of time). That week/seven 24-hour days was determined by God for the completion of a Re-creation that was designed and finished within that ‘7-Day’ framework of days. This would then be immediately followed by another framework of ‘7’ 1000-year periods of time unto the completion of a second ‘Re-creation/restorative work’ now in progress to restore that which was lost when Adam fell. (The Creation ‘Week’ of 7 days typing/setting the pattern for the 7 one thousand-year Days until the Restoration of what was lost in the Garden. - see drawing for more clarification.)

Note that 2nd Peter 3:8 shows this precedent or ‘law of first mention’ that a ‘day’ in God’s eyes is as 1000 years… “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.” In Isaiah 46:9-10, God says that He has declared the end from the beginning - setting the pattern and symbolism of 7’s as a precedent. The two ‘7’ ‘completion’ timeframes together can further be defined in Scripture as the ‘completion’ of God’s Salvation Plan (a great mystery to all but Himself), wherein man is restored to the position he was created to be in; that being to have dominion and rule with his bride over the Earth. (The fullfillment of God’s Salvation Plan being when Jesus the Son of Man rules with His Bride over the Earth and the heavens of the Earth.)

The image (love) of God in man was lost by Adam and Eve (in that “in the day you eat you shall surely die”) and so then also the theocratic Kingdom of God in this Earth, in which they were given dominion, they abdicated. Yet, the newly restored/re-created Earth, and all life on it, was not destroyed as it was before in Lucifer’s rebellion (the result of Lucifer’s rebellion being most likely that which answers to the ‘ruin’ seen in Genesis 1:2a, and seen also in Jeremiah 4:23-28… “I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light. I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, and all the hills moved lightly. I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the birds of the heavens were fled. I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all the cities thereof were broken down at the presence of the Lord, and by his fierce anger. For thus hath the Lord said, The whole land shall be desolate; yet will I not make a full end. For this shall the earth mourn, and the heavens above be black; because I have spoken it, I have purposed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back from it.” It makes sense that God in Genesis 3:17 would say unto Adam, “…cursed is the ground for thy sake…” because rather than destroying the Earth, it was cursed for man’s sake so that he could still be redeemed. And the greater mysterious purposes of God, yet unrevealed, were maintained and to be realized out of this cursed state (one purpose being that Jesus as a ‘man’ would crush satan’s authority, seal satan’s fate, and restore man’s authority which Adam had lost). His purposes being mysteriously unfolded in accord with ‘the law of first mention,’ which is to say; whenever God sets a precedent, He will maintain it in future similar circumstances so as to be a guide to the expounders of His Word unto faith.

So again, the Earth, and now mankind, finds itself under curse and is in need of restoration/re-creation. The certainty of restoration/re-creation being the Word of God in Genesis 3:15, wherein it is promised that ’the promised seed of a woman would crush satan’s head.’ So based upon God’s precedent seen in the Genesis 1:2-2:3, the perfect timeframe for God’s restorative/redemptive work having already been revealed is ‘7.’ God immediately begins again His redemptive/restorative work over the next 6 Days; to be completed and blessed on the ‘7’th Day.
All this restorative/redemptive work is foreseen and designed by God and is marvelously sustained through His just and unfathomable wisdom. In that it was God’s design that an earthly created being’s ‘life’ on the Earth would be sustained by its blood, and then may be offered; soul for soul in a redemptive blood atonement that ultimately would lead to complete restoration. (Here again, early in Genesis, in the ‘law of first mention,’ the off-setting power of innocent blood was set in motion that will hold true throughout the restorative/redemptive work of this Re-creation… Genesis 3:21… “Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.” Hebrews 9:22… “And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission.”)

(Read Ephesians Chapter 1, which gives an enlightening overview of God’s superceding purposes which were foreordained before He had even created man.)

God’s Salvation Plan, being from ‘before the foundation of the World’, (which is this present 6000-year old world) has in view a fuller and greater Kingdom re-creation/restoration of 6000 years with a millennial/1000-year 7th ‘Day’ rest. (Again, see the timeline drawing.) And unlike the first Re-creation of Genesis 1:2 through 2:1 wherein man was created and entered into God’s 7th 24-hour day ‘rest,’ and was put in authority in the Earthly portion of this Realm only… in the Millennial dominion ‘Rest’ (the 7th 1000-year period), it is Earth and its heaven as well that man is in charge of. (Matthew 13:11, Isaiah 24:21, Revelation 20:6)

Let us take Scripture’s revelation and move a step further in the timeline, beyond the soon coming millennial kingdom in this Realm, and into fuller understanding of the ‘7’ periods of time for completion of His Salvation Plan of this Realm’s Kingdom… which had in view even a greater eternal salvation (a ‘saving, keeping, preserving, healing, making whole) of everything that was taken. This is what is ‘restored.’ That selfless loving transforming work of God was to assure the infallibility of the rulers of His Eternal Kingdom (who rule throughout the 8th day which continues on for Eternity… the number 8 symbolizing ‘new beginnings’). God has then (from before the foundation of this present World) a New Earth and new heavens and new hierarchy in full view (where glorified firstborn sons/men rule in the heavens instead of Angels- see Hebrews 2:5… “For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.” God’s Angels will willingly lay their crowns of authority down and men will take them up.) That governmental heirarchy of God is ruled by the New Creation/New Creature ‘sons’ of God of the First Resurrection, who are then the embodiment of His eternal Son incarnate as the Son of Man… being flesh of His flesh, and bone of His bone (John 17:20-26, Ephesians 5:30), ruling in unprecedented glorious wed union with Him forever from the heavens’ New Jerusalem, throughout His Universe (Daniel 4:26b) in His full view (seen clearly in Revelation 19:7-8… it would be good to read all of Chapters 20,21, &22 with this truth in view for prophetic understanding). We can see why the trial-tested faith of the Bride and firstborn worthies is more precious (valuable) than gold… the refining having allowed them to become something that they weren’t so that it might serve the high purpose for which they were called.

Israelites; being God’s first adopted first-born sons (first-born implies rulership) and eternal ‘people’ (Exodus 4:22), the seed of Abraham are forever to be preeminent citizens of the New Earth. (Revelation 21:3… “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God (New Jerusalem) is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” Isaiah 66:21-24… “And I will also take of them (Israel) for priests and for Levites, saith the Lord. For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name (Israel) remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord. And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm (soul) shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh” - those condemned to the Lake of Fire serve as an eternal example as to what had transpired millennia before.)

Whereas the Father’s other adopted ‘first born sons’ (Romans 8:4-23, Hebrews 12:23) Whom He Fathered in the Body of Christ (neither Jews nor Gentiles, but the One New Man) shall reside and rule in the heavens. In that, having been Gentiles, they were grafted into Abraham’s inheritance promises by God through his Seed, Jesus Christ. (Acts 28:28) Who, in contrast to the natural born sons of Abraham, willingly received the Savior, surrendered and died to self, followed Him in the overcoming of the flesh, satan, and the World, and were transformed into His loving image, and walked righteously as Jesus the man and Master walked in the Earth… being “rooted and grounded in love”… and “filled with the fulness of God.” As Jesus, the Son of Man, was the perfect model for Spirit-filled unfailing ruling heavenly sons, so those in fullness of unity nature will eternally be adopted as His third first-born sons (Jesus being THE firstborn, Israel being the second firstborn, and the Bride being the third) when resurrected out of Hades and changed in a twinkling of an eye. (1st Corinthians 15:42-49, John 17:18-26, Revelation 20:4-6) Thus, the threat of curse and ruin in the Kingdom of God through rebellion of God’s hierarchy is forever gone in the ‘oneness’ of His sons.

Jesus came in the flesh and blood as a man, that through a certain death unprescribed by God’s law (unwittingly administrated by satan - 1st Corinthians 2:7-8) that He might destroy him that had the power of death, the devil, and his works (Hebrews 2, Acts 10:38). Those works began before man’s creation and fully manifested in his (Lucifer’s) ancient rebellion. (See Ezekiel 28:12-19 and Isaiah 14:4-15 where God starts off addressing human kings, but then speaks of satan/Lucifer.)

It can be easily understood then that God’s mysterious Salvation Plan was only partially about ‘man,’ in that God also had in view eternal judgements for prideful Lucifer and those angels who followed him in defiant rebellion, as well as the eternal establishing of a ‘New Creature;’ a new order of firstborn sons to rule in Angels’ stead. Redeemed men who had willingly yielded in suffering to the denying of self and thereby being transformed from the prison of self-centeredness through the trial in fires of loving selflessness… God’s determined means unto a new order of ruling ‘sons’ even before He created man, that actually answers to the wonder and purposes of His creation and the Father’s purpose of the two periods of ‘7’ in the Re-creation in this Realm. The window of faith is closing quickly; may we awaken to our glorious calling!

Drawing Breakdown:

The drawing begins with the ruin the Earth was found to be in according to Genesis 1:2. The timeline then depicts the 6 days of the Re-creation of the Earth with a final day of rest, which types the 6000 years since Adam’s Fall and the final 1000 years of Rest when Christ sets up His Millennial Kingdom on the 7th ‘Day’ (7th 1000-year period). It also shows the 7th 1000-year period coinciding with Hosea 6:2’s ‘Third Day’ (which comes to pass on the 3rd 1000-year period after 2000 years of Israel’s rejection of Jesus). This ‘third day’ being when the Jews will recognize Him, repent, and be restored to rule as kings and priests on the Earth for 1000 years. See Hosea 6:2… “Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days (2000 years since Israel’s rejection of Christ) will he revive us: in the third day (which begins His 1000-year reign) he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight” (in the Millennial Kingdom as earthly priests and kings). This millenial kingdom of Christ of 1000 years will follow the revelation of Jesus Christ being the Messiah of Israel and the pouring out of the Holy Spirit according to Joel Chapters 2-3 which transpires during this millenial timeframe. Then comes the 8th Day, which is perpetual and lasts for Eternity. It’s when New Jerusalem comes down from the 3rd Heaven and the New heavens and New Earth are created. (Revelation 21:1-3)

The drawing also shows the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd heavens and the 7-year Tribulation period typed by the ‘7 years of famine’ in Egypt and shows the mid-point of those 7 years when the man of sin (Anti-Christ) is revealed and when the worthy Firstfruits offering/Manchild are caught up to first heaven (the Rapture of the WORTHY who are alive on the earth at this point in time. - Revelation 3:10; 14:1-4; Luke 21:36; Matthew 24:40-41) This being when satan is cast out down from the first heavens to Earth. (Revelation 12:5,12) The second half of this 7-year period in which the Anti-Christ reigns is called the time of ‘Jacob’s Trouble’ and the ‘Hour of Temptation,’ and the ‘Great Tribulation.’
