מקץ- ‘’miketz’’ Strongs 7093 – ‘’at the end (of time)’’ In Hebrew
thinking it can also imply the end of or the beginning of something.
Gen
41:1 And it came to be, at the end of two years’
time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw him standing by
the river,
Perhaps this Torah
portion give us a hint – Remez – that we are the generation living “two
thousand years after Messiah’s first coming that will usher in his second
coming – “it came to be after the end of two years” This is also where this
Torah portion gets its name
The Torah has much to
say about the last days – any study of the last days excluding the Torah is
bound to be misleading.
Pro
28:9 He who turns away his ear from hearing the Torah, Even his prayer is
an abomination.[a] Footnote:
See also Job_15:29, Isa_59:1-2, Joh_9:31, 1Jn_3:22.
What will
it take to provoke the Jewish people to jealousy?
Perhaps an
end time remnant from the house of Yosef walking in the blessing and protection
of YHVH’s Covenant blessing according to Torah.
Gen 41:1 And it
came to be, at the end of two years’ time, that Pharaoh had a dream, and saw
him standing by (על)the river, (Heb.
Standing over the river)
This is significant
because the ‘’water spirits’’ that came from The river gave enormous power to
the occultic powers that controlled Egypt. These occultic powers with their priesthood
were not able to interpret Pharaoh’s dream.
So too in the last
days, a remnant set apart priesthood of YHVH will be able to interpret and
understand the events of the last days.
Gen 41:2 and saw seven cows coming up out of the
river, fine looking and fat, and they fed amongst the reeds,
Gen 41:3 then saw seven other cows coming up after
them out of the river, ugly and lean of flesh, and stood by the other cows on
the bank of the river.
Gen 41:4 And the ugly and lean of flesh cows ate up
the seven fine looking and fat cows. Then Pharaoh awoke.
Gen 41:5 And he slept and dreamed a second time and
saw seven heads of grain coming up on one stalk, plump and good,
Gen 41:6 and saw seven lean heads, scorched by the
east wind, coming up after them.
Gen 41:7 And the seven lean heads swallowed the seven
plump and complete heads. Then Pharaoh awoke and saw it was a dream.
Gen 41:8 And it came to be in the morning that his
spirit was moved, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Mitsrayim and
all its wise men. And Pharaoh related to them his dreams, but there was no one
who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
Gen 41:9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh,
saying, “I remember my crimes this day.
Gen 41:10 “When Pharaoh was wroth with his servants,
and put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and
the chief baker,
Gen 41:11 each one of us dreamed a dream in one night,
he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
Gen 41:12 “And there was with us a Heḇrew youth, a
servant of the captain of the guard. And we related to him, and he interpreted
our dreams for us. To each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
Gen 41:13 “And it came to be, as he interpreted for us,
so it came to be. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
Gen 41:14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Yosĕph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon. And he shaved and changed his garments and came to Pharaoh.
The Jewish Rabbis say that when Joseph shaved and changed his clothes, this is a Hebrew idiom that refers to Joseph hiding his true identity as a Hebrew, and as a son of Jacob. In this last half of Genesis 41:14, Joseph could no longer be recognized as the son of Jacob, but instead became “gentilizied”. He became an Egyptian. He forsook or at least hid his heritage. In 2,000 years of church history the Greek name “Jesus” was given to the real Messiah Yeshua. He was “shaved” and his clothes were changed to look like an Egyptian by the pagan influenced Christians who started severing the Herbew root of the Hebrew “Olive tree”.
