Context Summary

Genesis 41:1-13 - Pharaoh Dreams Of Cattle And Of Ears Of Grain
This chapter tells of ascension and exaltation,"¦ and affords an inimitable type of the issue of our Lord's humiliation and death. Like Joseph, He went and preached to spirits in prison, and then God highly exalted Him, and gave him a Name above every name. Rejected by his brethren, refused by those to whom he was sent, falsely accused and condemned, classed with the wicked, thrust into prison, rescuing one of his poor associates, called to a throne, it would be possible in almost every particular to substitute the name of Jesus for that of Joseph. What a corroboration of those great words of Asaph, "Neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south cometh lifting up; but God is the judge," Psalms 75:6-7. When sorrow falls, how quickly the world remembers the child of God, and turns to him! Those that despise and forget will seek you out some day. [source]
