Okay, I get that Joseph was a "Type" of Messiah or Christ but it seems like you're forcing parallels here. Joseph bought the land, property, and freedom of all the people in Egypt, not just the Israelites. Oh, I forgot, the pagan priests were allowed to keep their property.
Pharaoh is typologically usually an antagonist to the God of Israel in the bible, and Egypt is generally considered a bad place.
Also, Jesus, or Yeshua if you prefer, is sitting at the right hand of the father, and it's His to Judge the living and the dead. Hardly second in command.
What I see in the new Testament, particularly Acts, is a group of people who voluntarily sold possessions to help one another "whenever they had need." Not because they were starving and about to die.
I see Joseph as a prefigurement of Christ in that he suffered greatly, but in the end it was to save lives.
Similarly, the "Son of man came to save that which was lost." I don't see anything in the New Testament describing civil authority for the church. Jesus said the Pagans lorded it over each other, but it wasn't to be so among His followers. Hence, we shouldn't be trying to establish a system of political authority, which is what the "church" these days is constantly seeking to do.
We are basically citizens of a Kingdom not of this world. We're living behind enemy lines, waiting for our King's return... That King is Jesus.
Not the Pope.
Not the Archbishop of Canterbury .
Not the Patriarch of the Orthodox church.
Not the President of the Southern Baptist Association.
Jesus.
Or, Yeshua if you prefer.
Political authority is not anything I was referring to.
Also, there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed but the church refuses to address them.
The folks in Acts sold their possessions to give to those who had need. That is true. "Not because they were starving and about to die". I do not understand what you are meaning by this.
Did the believers stop needing things after they were given what was needed in the daily distribution?
Yashua said that the poor and needy would always be with them/us. Even until today. He would not always be with them/us. We have the spirit of truth, scripture, to lean on in times of need.
No. People need to eat, wear clothing, and drink , as fresh as possible, water, and have shelter.
This is not "lording" anything over anything or anyone. There is to be one overseer in each city, and 7 deacons, or helpers of the congregation, in each city.
There is a serious disconnect between how we as believers are to live, and how we do live.
He returned with vengeance when Titus destroyed the city and burned the temple to the ground. That was 40 years after his death.
Just like there were 40 years after the Egyptian passover until Yashua entered the land of Canaan with the children of Israel after Moses died. That is correct, his name was Yashua, the son of Nun. He was to be a "type" of the NT Yashua.
Something missing in each city is overseer and 7 deacons.
It isnt something I prefer in calling him "Yashua". It is out of respect and how his name is pronounced.
His name is not Jesus. That is bastardized from Iesus, from Yashua. Hebrew to Latin to English. Not needed.
He was a Hebrew from the line of Yehudah and his name was Yashua.
But this is what people focus on when there are more important topics to tackle like what was stated before...
When I said political authority it was because you said that Joseph's situation is what we should pattern the church after. Joseph was obviously in political power. It was the Egyptians I was referring to as Starving, you misunderstood me there.
I think you're reading way too much into the deacons and overseers here. Paul's letters were written to address specific people in a specific situation. He gave instructions to them that sometimes wouldn't apply to us. There is not any clear instructions for all Christians to organize a certain way no matter what. He was giving those people practical advise on how to organize, seeing as they lacked the skill themselves.
Also, I think you make too big of a deal on the pronunciation of Yeshua. Actually scholars disagree with your pronunciation, as well.
