The Dominant Element of the Final Message

Dear Friends of "Dial Daily Bread,"
The story of Joseph in the Bible is no fairy tale; Egyptian history and archeology attest how true to historic life the details are. It fits well in the Hyksos era, for the Pharaohs were not native Egyptians. They could well have employed a Hebrew in a high government post. Egyptian records show how there came a change in national economy when all the land except in temples was acquired by the crown. We can trust our Bible story!
Is Joseph a type of the church that will proclaim a message that "lightens the earth with glory" in our last days? This special church is given "the spirit of prophecy" as Joseph was gifted (see Rev. 12:17; 19:10). It must pass the test of moral purity, as Joseph passed the test with Potiphar's wife tempting him. "Fornication" or "adultery" is not to be even mentioned among that people who "overcome even as Christ overcame" (Rev. 3:21).
The church that proclaims a message that lightens the earth with glory will suffer persecution, as Joseph suffered it from his brothers and even his father. The last-days' message will save people; lives will be changed; characters will become "at one" with God. Joseph saved many people's lives; the "remnant church" will proclaim a message that will lead many souls to eternal life.
But every one who will partake of the blessing will know first-hand "the chastening of the Lord" (Heb. 12:5-12). That will make more distinct how much the Lord loves him or her! That agape will be the dominant element of the final message.
