In later Jewish tradition the sacrifice of Isaac was cited in appeals for the
... One source says that Isaac was born on the PASSOVER, and through his birth ...many barren women became fertile (Rosh Hashanah 11a).

The 'goodman' of the house is no doubt
Jesus.
Compare that use of "goodman" to this one in Proverbs
7:
The Hebrew word for "appointed" is 'kece' and means Full
Moon!
This seems to be telling us that the Goodman of the house, Jesus, who
is on a ''long journey'' will return at the Full Moon!!
Where has Jesus, this nobleman been and for what reason?
The Scepter came through Judah, but the Birthright (blessings) are to
come through Joseph.
Egypt was a historical type of the fulfillment of these Birthright
blessings......just on a smaller scale than what is to happen to us upon
whom the end of the ages have come!
Joseph went out over all Egypt just as those who are translated from
mortality to immortality will go out over the entire earth to bring to
humanity these Birthright Blessings!!
Joseph started this process from a very low estate. He was called
from a "dungeon'' and when he was summoned he "changed his garments". What
does that picture? The changing from mortal to immortal!!
When did this happen? When Joseph turned age 30 and at the time of
the Trumpet which was sounded at "the new moon, (and) in the day appointed
(Heb. 'Full moon'), on our solemn Feast day. Notice the immediate text
next to the phrase 'on our solemn Feast day is "at the day appointed (Full
Moon).
It is then that God "removed his (Joseph's) shoulder from the burden
and his hands from from the pots".
For final proof that this Psalm 81 is speaking of the time of the
Passover, consider this:
Read the entire Psalm and you will see that it is typically speaking
of the time of Passover when Israel left Egypt!!
When Israel left Egypt a Trumpet was blown. Joseph is a type of the
nation of Israel. They lived in the flesh pots of Egypt where they 'heard
a language they understood not'.
Verse 7 of this Psalm says "thou called to me in trouble.......I
answered thee....and proved thee by the waters of Meribah"! Then the word
Selah.......think about this!
The waters of Meribah was an incident in the time of the Exodus from
Egypt......initiated at the time of the Passover.

[Pss 81:4] For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
[Pss 81:5] He made it a decree in Joseph, when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known:
[Gen 41:46] Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went through all the land of Egypt.
[Gen 41:47] During the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly..........
| Chapter |
Also the trips around Jericho were 13 in total.........one each
for 6 days and then 7 on the 7th day.......before the Trumpet was
sounded!!!!
It looks like Joseph through whom the Birthright was given is
the example of those who will inherit immortality (he had to change
his garments!! and got a "new name") before or just as he assumed
leadership over Egypt at age 30.
He ''went out over the land of Egypt" at age 30. See Gen. 41:46
and compare this to Ps 81 noting that the phrase in Ps. 81 means on
the Full Moon.......and he heard a 'voice he had not heard
before'...as in the voice to "come up hither" and also a
Trumpet.........
And later after Joseph had died, as if to add emphasis to this
all, he said that "his bones were to ''go up'' with the children of
Israel as they left Egypt..........the dead in Christ shall rise
first!!!!
So we have a voice of the trumpet at Passover and the hearing
of a ''voice not heard before"!!!! If this is not Rapture
terminology then nothing is!! It is the same as in I Thes.
chpt.4.
Note in Genesis that Joseph was age 17 when he was feeding the
flock, see Gen 37:2 and evidently it was at that time he was
betrayed of his brother......and sold into Egypt. He was age 30 when
he went out over all of Egypt. Then there were 7 good years, at
which time he was age 37. That is 20 years from age 17 to the time
the Famine hit.....which would be a type of the tribulation.
Since Joseph is a type of Christ, who also was ''thrown into a
pit" by Judas, does the 20 years from the time of being sold into
slavery until the time the tribulation starts........do these 20
years picture 2000 years from the crucifixion to the start of the
tribulation?? Would all this mean the tribulation is 7 years long?
And note it was after the 2nd year of the tribulation/famine that
Joseph was revealed to his brothers.......including Judah.
From the time Joseph assumed leadership until he was revealed
to his brothers was 9 years. The famine lasted another 5
years......total of 14 good and bad years.
But how does this fit into a timeline that applies to
now??
M0RE to come on this later. dp
