“And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck; and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried before him, Bow the knee: and he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.”
Genesis 41:42-43 KJV
The Pharaoh of Egypt removed his signet ring, placed it on Joseph’s finger, and had him clothed with fine linen robes! He adorned Joseph with a golden collar around his neck and had him ride in the chariot reserved for the second-in-command and sent runners going before him, crying out “kneel”! In this way, Pharaoh placed Joseph over all the land of Egypt. The Pharaoh recognised that God was with Joseph and the Egyptians would recognise Joseph’s authority. Once accused of rape, now made prime minister, head of all people, chief justice, and general of the armed forces in all of Egypt - all as a foreigner! From prison to the highest office in one day. This testifies to Joseph’s God-given wisdom and grace. The risen Christ went from the tomb to the Throne as King of kings. Joseph is a type of Christ. Jesus came to His own but they did not receive Him. God’s Word will be fulfilled that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord! Glory to God!
