"AT THE END"
(Weekly Reading>>Genesis 41:1-44:17, Zechariah 2:10-4:7, John 6:1-71)
Joseph was humble and completely unconcerned about his own position as he spoke. He went on to advise Pharaoh to look for a man who was wise and discerning to be in charge of all of the challenges that were to come. Joseph never assumed or expected anything for himself; instead he simply went on to help Pharaoh qualify the man who would be suitable for the job of overseeing the project. He went into great detail of what was needed and how to go about accumulating the food from the first seven abundant years to augment the seven years of famine that lay ahead of them.
This impartation by Joseph showed he was not reliant on man and was totally at peace with where he was in Yahweh (Tree of Life). With no expectations for himself he could rest in the Father’s care for his life, which now had become totally dedicated to serving Him alone and not look to man for his needs. With this heart Joseph was now ready for the work that lay before him. Through this test, Yahweh knew the world (earthly nature / Olam Hazeh) no longer had a hold on Joseph’s heart. Therein lays the key to delivery.
Pharaoh was so impressed with Joseph’s wisdom and aptitude for administration that he selected him for the job!
“Can we find anyone like this man, one in who is the Spirit of Yahweh? Since Yahweh has made all this known to you there is no one so discerning and wise as you. You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only I will be greater than you. I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt” (Genesis 41:41).
With this astonishing announcement Pharaoh took off his signet ring and placed it on Joseph’s finger, dressed him in robes of fine linen and placed a gold chain around his neck. Joseph was then carried about in a chariot with men shouting before him, “Make way, make way!” Pharaoh further added, “Without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.” Then he pronounced a new "name" (authority, position, character) over Joseph, Zaphenath-Paneah, which means “Treasury of the rest” and “He who explains what is hidden.”
Pharaoh also presented Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be Joseph’s wife.

Romans 16:25-27 Paul writes: “Now to him who is able to establish you by my gospel and the proclamation of Yeshua the Messiah, according to the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal Yahweh, so that all nations might believe and obey him - to the only wise Yahweh be glory forever through Yeshua the Messiah! Amen” (Matthew 5-7).
Isaiah 61:1-2 “The Spirit of the Sovereign Yahweh is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the blind to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor.” Isaiah was given this prophecy of the Messiah, and it was the Messiah who revealed the fulfillment of this word to the people (Luke 4:18-19).
Pharaoh also presented Asenath the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, to be Joseph’s wife.
