Okay, so that's the story of how Joseph is enslaved and how he is redeemed, essentially looking at that in the larger picture of the Magnithi cut, how the prideful are brought low and then the lowly are exalted. That's really what we see in Joseph's life. Now before we conclude this lesson, I want to talk a bit about typology. Now there's a ton of typology with Joseph being a type of Jesus and Joseph Jesus' father.
We're going to look at all of that at the end of the next lesson. But right now I want to bring your attention to Roman in Rule 6 in the notes and see how Joseph's the type of the prophet Daniel, which is really, really exciting to see. So the 30,000 foot view of Daniel, we'll do Bible study in Daniel at the time, but the prophet Daniel, he himself is hauled off into exile by Nebuchadnezzar. So, King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonians are besieging Jerusalem and in the first wave in the year 605, Daniel is taken off into exile and he now lives in Babylon.
All right, and God appears to him in dreams and visions. But one of the things that's so interesting is that Nebuchadnezzar has these dreams that free him out and no one can interpret them. In fact, Nebuchadnezzar says, you got to tell me the dream and then in the interpretation, and of course no one can do that, but then Daniel very humbly says, well, God can do this and he interprets the dream for Nebuchadnezzar and is promoted within the kingdom. All right, the garden becomes a high fission.
So that whole story, that's a 30,000 foot view overview of what Daniel's all about. If you compare that story side by side with Joseph's story, you see that Joseph is a foreshadowing of Daniel. And so I've got 12 points of typology for you about this, but the 12 point explains why there's such amazing parallels between the two figures and it has to do with the Exodus. So let's look at this.
I'm just going to follow the notes here. You have them in front of you. Number one, both Daniel as well as Joseph, of course, Daniel and Joseph were forcibly taken from their homes when they were young and I have all the references here in the notes as well. We can't go through all of them because our lecture is concluded, but you can you can reference all of this on your own time.
So number one, both of them are forcibly taken from their homes when they're young. Number two, both of them interact and have dealings with the captain of the king's guard. Number three, both are said to be very handsome, very good looking and very handsome in appearance. Number four, both of their kings, that would be Pharaoh and Nebuchadnezzar respectively, have a pair of very strange dreams about the future that leave them very, very troubled and very perplexed and worried.
Number five, all of their kings, like wise men and magicians, they can't interpret it. They have no idea what's going on. So they're completely useless. Number six, both of these kings then turn to a Hebrew who is enslaved and exiled from the Promised Land, Daniel and Joseph, your story.
Number seven, both of these men interpret the dreams correctly by giving honor and glory and credit to God alone. Number eight, both of them are said to be very wise because of God as with them. Number nine, both serve in the royal courts and then ten kind of related to each other. But both are promoted to very high positions within the kingdom.
As we saw Joseph is the al-Haba'it, he is the overseer of the entire kingdom. We looked at all of that. Daniel is also promoted. Number eleven, both are given new names.
So Joseph receives a new Egyptian name and Daniel receives a Babylonian name. So both are renamed and honored by that renaming. And then number 12, and here this is going to wrap everything together. Both of them lived and exiled from the Promised Land before the Exodus event occurs respectively.
So for Joseph, as we well know, it's because of Joseph, all of Israel, Israel and his sons and the whole family, 70 persons go down into Egypt. We'll look at this in the next lesson. Within time goes on, you know, 400 years are enslaved and all this stuff happens. So Joseph precedes the Exodus where God protects his people and delivers them.
The same similar type of thing happens with Daniel because Israel was so hard-hearted and so wicked and so sinful, God sent them into exile. He told them through the Prophet that this was going to happen. Sure enough, it did. So Israel's exile from the land is basically a new Exodus event because God will bring back Israel specifically to Judah and then later all the tribes of Israel through Jesus Christ.
But Judah will return, leave Babylon, come back to the Promised Land and that is always seen in the image of a new Exodus, right? So Daniel precedes a new Exodus event as well, but it's a new Exodus from exile. And both of these men foreshadowed Jesus Christ who brings about the true Exodus, right? He talks about this, Luke talks about this in the Transfiguration.
They're talking about his Exodus. Moses, Elijah and Jesus are talking about his Exodus. So Jesus brings us back from the exile that we've experienced because of sin, conquer Satan's sin and death and we come back to God. So it's so interesting that if you keep this in mind next week when we come back, we'll see how Joseph is a type of Jesus and we'll do another dozen different parallels as well.
So I love the typology. It's really exciting to see all the points and they parallel, right? You can just look at references I provided for you in your notes. They parallel so beautifully here.
Joseph's a type of Daniel. They both precede a massive Exodus event and then of course both of them together, 4.4 to Jesus Christ. So that's where we're going to stop and then we're going to meet for the next lesson entitled Joseph the Savior.
