Genesis 46

Genesis 46:1-34

Contents: Jacob’s journey to Egypt and meeting with Joseph.

Characters: Jacob, Joseph, brothers, their families, Pharaoh.

Conclusion: A glorious meeting day is coming after the trials and mistakes of earth. Jesus prepares a place for the believer and comes again to receive him unto Himself, that where He is, there they may be also.

Key Word: Meeting, Genesis 46:29.

Strong Verses: Genesis 46:1; Genesis 46:3; Genesis 46:4.

Striking Facts: The absolute will of God for Israel was in Canaan, not Egypt (Genesis 26:1-5). His permissive will allows them to settle in Goshen and as far as possible He blesses them there. The Jews sidestepped God’s absolute will by rejecting the Messiah, but a day of mingled joy and mourning awaits those living at His second advent.
