”By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.“
Hebrews 11:22 KJV
Faith inspired Joseph and opened his eyes to see into the future, for as he was dying he prophesied about the exodus of Israel out of Egypt, and gave instructions that his bones were to be taken from Egypt with them. At the end of his life, Joseph prophetically reminded his sons of the exodus. He had such a firm belief that they would possess the land of promise that he exacted an oath from them: they were not to leave his bones in Egypt. It is faith that imparts prophetic vision of the future, as it did to Joseph. The source of faith is the Lord Jesus Christ Whose Name is Faithful and True and it is His faith that is imparted in us who are in Christ. Let’s build ourselves up this God-given faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. Amen!
