Gen 45:4, And Joseph said to his brothers, “PLEASE COME NEAR TO ME.” SO THEY CAME NEAR. THEN HE SAID: “I AM JOSEPH YOUR BROTHER, WHOM YOU SOLD INTO EGYPT.
Verse 3, he said “I am Joseph”, then he said “please come near to me” it looks as if they were shocked and scared to find out it was Joseph whom they sold into Egypt, and they backed off!
Zec 12:10, “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem THE SPIRIT OF GRACE AND SUPPLICATION; THEN THEY WILL LOOK ON ME WHOM THEY PIERCED. YES, THEY WILL MOURN FOR HIM AS ONE MOURNS FOR HIS ONLY SON, AND GRIEVE FOR HIM AS ONE GRIEVES FOR A FIRSTBORN.
Gen 45:5, BUT NOW, DO NOT THEREFORE BE GRIEVED OR ANGRY WITH YOURSELVES BECAUSE YOU SOLD ME HERE; FOR GOD SENT ME BEFORE YOU TO PRESERVE LIFE.
BECAUSE OF OUR SIN JESUS SUFFERED GREATLY ON THAT CROSS, DANIEL 9:26, SAYS, THE MESSIAH SHALL BE CUT OFF, BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF! HE DID IT FOR US! TO PRESERVE LIFE!
Isa 25:9, And it will be said in that day: “Behold, THIS IS OUR GOD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM, and HE WILL SAVE US. THIS IS THE LORD; WE HAVE WAITED FOR HIM; WE WILL BE GLAD AND REJOICE IN HIS SALVATION.”
