Ancient Egyptian Model (God the Socialist)

Group Dynamic

   It seems that there was a thirteen-part organization that was too big to fail. In this case, the main distributor showed an extreme amount of bias in the distribution of the bailout funds. The main distributor favored his family, over an entire world of people. This is pork barrel government at its finest; isn’t it?

And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?   

   And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.

And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you.

   And they came near.

And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest. And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

   Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not: And thou shalt dwell in the land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and thy children, and thy children’s children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: And there will I nourish thee; for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy household, and all that thou hast, come to poverty.

(Genesis 45:3-11)

Forging a Mold

We begin our study of God the Socialist with the example that he gave us in Jacob’s son, Joseph: let us set the authority for the example. First, please realize that natural phenomena are the sole territory of the LORD, so far; and, especially, in the day of Joseph. To give the example of Joseph its authority, the LORD set a natural phenomenon in the path of Joseph, in the kingdom of Pharaoh, in the land of Egypt. (The phenomenon was introduced as a part of a prophetic gift to Pharaoh.)

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning.

So I awoke.

And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears:

and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.

(Genesis 41:14-24)
