Did Jesus refer to himself as a Joseph figure? - Messiah Son of Joseph - EP 15 - Case for Messiah 

This is truly a Hanukkah moment the meaning of bringing “light to the world”. It is such a blessing and thank you for bringing it to us. The Lord continually never ceases to amaze us through His miracles.

There is another parallel that reinforces the "son of Joseph" typology. In the Old Testament, Joseph is warned in his dreams, and his dream interpretation helped save the lives, leading the family of Jacob to flee to Egypt. In the Gospel of Matthew, Joseph (the husband of Mary) is warned in his dreams, and this ends up saving the lives of Mary and Jesus, causing them to flee to Egypt. I don't think this is mere coincidence. This seems to me to further reinforce the typology of Jesus being the "son of Joseph".

I have bought both Mitchell’s book about Messiah Ben Josef and Jesus the Incarnation of the Word and read them over and over. What joy they have given me. I have bought them for pastors. Buy them, read them. The Lord is really magnified in the books. And like the facets of a beautiful diamond the light of the Lord shines through this neglected teaching. I thank the Lord for this man’s work. ❤❤😊

This series has been fascinating! Jesus truly is everything we all need. Thank you for sharing it with us!

Who better to get the knowledge of truth from than God's chosen people. Have a blessed week! ❤❤❤❤❤

I am drawn to John Chapter 4 where Yeshua reveals Himself as Messiah in the place where Yosef is buried by Jacobs well in Shechem.

Shalom from Liverpool UK. I love this series and it is so timely with the Torah portion now being about the life of Yosef. Thanks OFI and Dr David.

Hi brethren, thanks for the interesting series! Isaiah 11 says: In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples... and ... Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. The two promisses have been fullfilled in the one Messiah :)

Please dr. David Mitchell, release your books virtually, in Kindle format! I'm a Brazilian man who can't wait to read them!

I grew up knowing that Joseph was an Old Testament type of Jesus Christ, so this is exciting teaching.

Oh boyoboyoboy ! My little grey cells are dancing with joy ! Teachers are still learning and as we all lean in to His majesty our joy just explodes ! I LOVE This One for Israel ! I Love You all !! Woo Hoo ! Now we are going somewhere Good !

What a fascinating series! As I watched this and they were discussing for Jesus to be both descended from David and Joseph, it would come through his mother Mary, I thought back to Genesis 3:15, when God is expelling Adam and Eve from the garden. Here, God says that there would be "enmity between his seed and hers." Women do not have seed, only men do. But in this unique moment, God makes this extraordinary statement, I believe it is foreshadowing Jesus' birth and lineage through a woman. I am not aware of any other time when anyone made such a statement. I am once again deeply moved to see the extraordinary detail of God's divine plan of redemption to restore all that was lost when sin entered the world. The story of Jesus, son of Joseph, may not be for us Gentiles, but for those of the divided kingdoms of Judah and Israel. Learning this as a Gentile only increases my awe and praise!

Loving this series so much from a fellow Scot! Mind blowing! Thank you One for Israel!

Just another wake up call. All glory to God Almighty the mighty loving creator and awesome planner.

No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:44 KJV) 🙏🏽❤️🙌🏾💯

We have been going through Joseph's story in our study of Genesis. As we talked about similarities between Joseph's life and Jesus', I mentioned that in Joseph's case, his brothers recognized him afar off and plotted to kill him. One of the other ladies brought up this same parable you mention from Jesus, and again the wicked tenants recognized him as the son from afar off. It has changed my perspective on whether or not the rabbis and pharisees in Jesus' day just missed it or whether they knew He was Lord, but they would rather remain as lord themselves rather than bow to Him. They liked having the worship of people. They, unlike John the Immerser, were not willing to become decrease.

Absolutely LOVE this series! ❤ Please keep it coming! It makes sense to me that Jesus assumed the role of Messiah son of Joseph in his 1st coming, and the New Testament looks for Him to assume the Messiah son of David at His 2nd coming, at the end of the Tribulation. The topic of Jesus containing all the different DNA is VERY fascinating! It brings to mind the passage in Ezekiel 37:17, where we read of the 2 sticks becoming 1. Could this be a dual prophecy? Can it be fulfilled by Jesus and the reunification of the whole house of Israel?

I love listening to you Jewish Bible scholars discussing the New Testament. Praise God, for this wonderful blessing 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼 I pray that God will bless you men abundantly more than you can possibly think or ask💗

This is the best Bible study. Thank you.

Great discussion about how the loose ends are brought together in the One true Messiah. Mic drops and eyebrow explosions galore! Wow!

Very insightful. God bless you One for Israel

Shalom for Israel in Jesus Christ name ♥️ Me and my house hold stand with the people of Israel

Thanks so much for this series!!!! Praise Hashem for ever!!! Yeshua our Lord and Savior

Such a joyous study, these 3 expositions! My friend who listens to what I bring to have him hear, and who is of miniscual words, said last week.." that makes sense". ( talk about mic drop!). Please pray for Alan, a jewish unbeliever, listening.

This series is amazing! I bought the book because I've always sensed the Messiah ben Joesph thread was in scripture but underplayed. These comments also sheds light on the strained relations between Galileans and Judeans (John 1:46 - Can anything good come out of Nazareth?) It makes me wonder if Israel in 1948 could have been called Judea.

_AND THE LORD DIRECT YOUR HEARTS INTO THE LOVE OF GOD, AND INTO THE PATIENT WAITING FOR CHRIST._ 2 Thessalonians 3:5

A mic drop moment. SO WELL SAID! The Wisdom of David to pull all this together is just overwhelming.

I so enjoyed these talks and thrilled to hear what Dr. Mitchell had to say. Erudite and humble in his presentation, I learnt so much that was new and moving. I would love to hear the Scotsman expound on the Messianic Psalms too. I am sure we would all learn a lot and be blessed by his and 'One for Israel's' insight. Thank you!

John also refers to Jesus in Zechariah 11:11 “…..And the poor of the flock that *kept MY WORD* knew this, that it was *THE WORD of the Lord”* John 10:27 My sheep *listen to MY VOICE* ; I know them, and *they follow* John 14:23 “If anyone loves Me, he will *keep MY WORD”*

No words here. Great is our Messiah, Jesus, the only One!

These three podcasts have just touched my soul. To see how god interweaves this world to save all is astounding and such a comfort. Additionally as a woman it is comforting and vindicating to be recognized through the maternal lineage and so god adds comfort and restoration to the woman. I have listened to these 2 times each and night the books. I would really love to learn about the 12 tribes from one for Israel. God bless you and keep you and let his face shine upon you! Amen

This is next level, Dr. Michael Brown himself will find this information new (I've never heard him speak on these things). This is mind blowing to any Jewish scholar to learn that the "Son of Joseph" is as important and biblical to both the OT and the NT, thank you God for your amazing word and how Jesus perfectly fulfills the true expectation of the Messiah!

I don’t believe that Jesus in Matthew 22:45 was saying he wasn’t Messiah Son of David, or even that He wasn’t ready to be called that. His point was that Messiah would be God. Not just a man.

Replayed this four times today.

It's amazing and really good news for all nations. These words are believable. God is good. His name is forever. Amen 🙏

My first Word from God was from my ER instructor, as a nursing student, a Messianic Jew and the Word was from Isaiah 61 I think 🧐 but I found it in Luke 4:18-20 later and was so excited 😆

Wow. Some amazing things are discussed here. Just when we think we know all there is about Messiah or any thing of God, He has a way of surprising us! Some will reject this as superficial nonsense. God actually enjoys leaving tidbits like these throughout His Word to surprise and excite us. He is so amazing! Thank you for this wonderful discussion.

HalleluYah! The whole series so far it's "mic drop" material! Thank you ABBA that you are reveling this wonderful Truth to all! May your Name be lifted up, and exalted to our Mesiach your Taheb that restores our life trough his sacrifice and resurrection by Your power, to live according your Éternal Torah! Thank you One for Israel

Wow!!! Glory to God in the highest!!!

our lord YAHWEH called him my beloved son

Once more Dr. Postell and Dr. Broshi thank you for asking all of the right questions. Reading Dr. Mitchell’s work these are all of the questions I wished I could ask. Thank you! One For Israel 🇮🇱 🙏🏾

This has been an amazing series. I have really enjoyed it! Fun apologetics challenge looking back and forth at all these passages thinking critically at who is who and determining no I am quite sure they are talking about THE MESSIAH. Much like the evening and the morning being summed up to one day how amazing this picture of four images of salvation is our lord. He fills the needs of so many. Hope to have David Mitchell back soon!

This series is so exciting!

"and KNOWLEDGE shall increase"

Love you guys

John also refers to Jesus in Zechariah 11:11 “…..And the poor of the flock that *kept MY WORD* knew this, that it was *THE WORD of the Lord”* John 10:27 My sheep *listen to MY VOICE* ; I know them, and *they follow*

Beautifully mapped out! YesAnyone who identified Christ as the Promised One in many of the Biblical Varied ways to Him, Christ always held that it was His Father in heaven whom gave the inspiration. 🎉 It always came from The Holy Spirit!! As God Was Walking Upon His Earth With His Creation from every Tongue and Tribe!

Amazing series. Each episode brings interesting insight to historical context.

again praise LORD great session; jesus bring all around him , great session

“Explosion to the eyebrows”. I love it!!

Beautiful teachings of the Word of God. Thank you men of God.

I lead the adult small group study at my church. I have some formal Bible and Theology training (BA), but that rally just gave me the basic tools for sound, lifelong study. I have continued learning throughout my life. My job is to mine the Scriptures and present easily understood and digestible teaching. I’ve made a couple trips to Israel with a close friend who teaches at a seminary and those visits to Israel were incredibly valuable for seeing Scripture in context and making the Scriptures “light up”. I said that to say this, this channel and these videos are tremendously helpful for me in doing what I’m supposed to be doing and they are also very helpful for my personal relationship with Almighty God. Thank You! 👍🏻

The lineage of Jesus has to be shown through “Miriam” because of his virgin birth via The Holy Spirit!!! There is no other way around this fact. Reared a Gentile Christian, and at 66 I’m finally seeing this! God bless you for sharing this important word with us.

Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are mature; a wisdom, however, not of this age nor of the rulers of this age, who are passing away; but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God predestined before the ages to our glory; the wisdom which none of the rulers of this age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written, “THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM.”

This is a most excellent teaching. Thank you One for Israel!

How wonderful! Our Messiah is Son of God by the power of the Holy Spirit, and through his mother's lineage; Son of Aaron, (priest) and Joseph and David (King). God knows the end from the beginning and tell us, if we dig for the hidden treasure in His Word. Thanks to you all; 3 "wise men" 😊😊 From the ends of the earth I will Praise Him

Absolutely amazing!!! We’ve been studying these ; typologies for a bit now!!! So good to see it come to light to lord! May Yeshua light the world!!! ❤

I've grown to believe that Matt22:45 was not only referencing his humanity but also his divinity. David calls him Lord because he IS Lord!

I’m really mind blown here and there’s so much to unpack and discuss I can feel that I’ve only reached the tip of the iceberg so to speak of understanding all you’re saying here. Please continue on this topic to a deeper level, bc it’s fascinating. Love this channel!

Fascinating series with Dr David Gill. Hopefully there is a 4th episode..

My eyebrows literally exploded when you mentioned the Samaritan messiah!

He then told me, I too, was a Descendant of David and we are the bridge 🌉 to fill the gap ❤ I love Psalms and He knew that would light my heart ❤️‍🔥🙏

We're studying John's gospel in BSF this year, and this is really great (and we studied the divided kingdom last year), although if John was writing to Galilean Jews, how could he have been doing so from so far away in Greece, as he spent much of his later life in Ephesus and then on Patmos? Also (an edit from earlier), God said the "woman's seed" would crush the serpent's head!

What a wonderful blessing to receive this light of further knowledge while watching this on the last night of Hanukkah. Jesus/Yeshua is the holy Messiah of that there can be no doubt. Not that I had any but still wow. Thank you and God bless

Also Genesis 3:15-It was promised through the seed of the woman. I ordered the book. It is coming tomorrow. Should be a wonderful read and study. Thank you for bringing this to us. I will share with my friends.

This study is amazing. I think this could be explored as well, since number three is so intrinsic in the Scriptures. "A cord of three strands is not quickly broken” (Ecclesiastes 4:12). He is the Messiah the Seed of the woman (Genesis 3:15) all descendants of Eve, therefore the whole human race. He is the Messiah Son of Joseph (John 4) as presented in this study; He is the Messiah Son of David (Revelation 22:16).

Love this 🙏🏼❤️🔥XOXO psalms 87

Wow! For years I have been wondering why Messiah would come from Judah when Joseph was a better candidate, this blows my mind! He could be from both Judah and Joseph!!!

Absolutely astounding.

Best series so far, apart from that of the testimonies ❤ keep it coming please in keeping with the Parashot

Wow, so interesting!! Thank you all.

This is the 1st I've heard of Messiah ben Joseph, amazing and fantastic. As a new teaching I proceed with caution. But today, reading Zechariah 12 -14 in David Stern's Complete Jewish Study Bible pg 887 the Messianic Prophecy, The Return of Messiah, in the last paragraph the commentary speaks of two Messiahs, one who would reign on David's throne and one who would suffer and die. The suffering Messiah was called Son of Yosef after Biblical Yosef who suffered even though he was innocent. With this I am more settled, I now have a second witness of this new teaching and extend many thanks to One for Israel for bringing us ever closer to knowing our Messiah. Thank you and Shalom.

Thank you, for this session. We must remember that Yisroel (Ya'akov) was the link as well.

It's really good research. Thank you Sirs.

This is fantastic, mind blown, and at the same time, it is a resolution of so much in my brain I saw Ruth coming in as bringing in the gentiles to salvation, this so much bigger than my brain could imagine now it seems clear.

Fantastic episode. I now have Dr. Mitchell’s book and look forward to studying it! TY OFI! Shalom.

Such amazing teaching! I get the book tomorrow. I can’t wait!

P.S. will share on my FB page 🎉

David (roughly "beloved") and Joseph (roughly "he will add") are two aspects of the Messiah. First comes "David" then comes "Joseph". First comes the seed (David) then comes the harvest (Joseph). The singular seed of mercy becomes a multiplied harvest of mercy.

I got the Holy Spirit at “The Well” and He restored my Faith right after seeing videos on U boob saying He never existed…

This presentation is an absolute game changer. It ties the Northern Kingdom to the Southern Kingdom. It ties types of Messiahs and DNA Messiahs into one Jesus! He really is the Savior of all! All the scriptures of Ephraim and Judah make sense to me. The stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah being one in thy hand is Jesus! Ephraim is to gather in the latter days. Christ told his Apostles in Galilee, Go ye into all the world and preach my Gospel. Christ's apostle must have been mostly Ephraimites to be able to go into all the world? Wow. The dots are connecting!

Amazing series. I can't wait for more

Absolutely stunning presentation - Thanks very much Dr's for all the details - Baruch Atah Adonai Eloheinu Melech HaOlam

The latest child whom the father loved dearly, stained in blood and given to the world. But then rescued his brothers and even the gentiles starving. Joseph is truly a mirror of his descendant, the Son of man saviour of the world

Great debate, thank you.

Thank you again OFI, for sharing the vital truth that Jesus is Israel's 'Joseph'; that Joseph's life foreshadowed Jesus' own betrayal into the hands of the gentile Romans. And might I add that God brings it all full circle in John's Revelation chapter 12, where the vision of 'The Woman, the Child and the Dragon' borrows the imagery of Joseph's second dream in Genesis 37:9. May God Himself promote an appreciation of this perspective which you have dared to explore and begun to elaborate. This is Jesus' message to Israel today: 'Your forefathers meant it for evil, but God meant it for good; to save many people' (Gen 50:20). I expect that these are the comforting words that Jesus will speak when Israel looks upon the One who was pierced. But it must also be noted that Matthew (26:63-64), Mark (14:61-64) and Luke (22:66-71) all point to Jesus as Israel's 'Joseph' in an explicit way THAT JOHN'S GOSPEL DOES NOT. In their three accounts Jesus is asked by the Jewish leadership whether or not He is a 'special Son' or not. And in each case Jesus says 'Yes', and then also shares His 'dream' that someday Israel and the world will bow down to Him. In that moment Jesus' envious brothers turned Him over to the gentile Romans for death; an envy which Pilate himself recognized (Matthew 27:18, Mark 15:10). Jesus' claim to Kingship (John 18:36-37) and being the Son of God (John 19:7) are both revealed in John's gospel. But not the direct interrogation of Jesus by His 'brethren' over His Sonship and His visions. You are privileged OFI to see these things, and to now minister them to the world. Blessed are your eyes. 'Now O God, use OFI to feed Israel and the world through Your hands, as You once fed the multitudes with a little bread and a few fish'.

Wow !!! Mind bending

Now I get this saying..."In Him dwells the fullness of the God Head Bodily " ALL the DNA from the Royal Lines on Earth and In Heaven is IN Him ! Awesome !

💜I’m in love! Hallelujah all Glory to Jesus ! 💜

Wow this was a real gobsmacker of an episode!

This is the exact fulfillment of Ezekiel 37:15-28, the LORD told Ezekiel to take 2 sticks, then write tribes of Joseph/Ephraim and Judah, and the LORD combines them into one. A king who combines all the promises and inheritances, and also a son of David that will rule forever .The LORD is wonderful and mysterious

Fascinating insights! I would love to hear his thoughts on Jesus being called a Nazarene since this prophecy is difficult to find in the Tanakh

This is the way I see it: 1- "Jeshua the Son of Joseph" means the way locals recognize him, as they refer to his father Joseph here on Earth. 2- Jeshua the Son of David" represents the root of his lineage according to the prophecy. 3- "Jeshua the Son of God" represents his truest and heavenly identity.

United tribes, Amen!

I've been looking forward to this!

The matralineal descent of Jesus makes perfect sense of Genesis 3:15. Jesus IS the promised SEED/OFFSPRING of the woman.

The two calendars thing is essentially debunked nowadays no? Once we figured out "the day of preparation of passover" is the ancient term to talk about the sabbath in passover (not the day to prepare the lambs) the timeline fits with the synoptics perfectly fine. No need to posit different calendars.

He told me to read “Luke” the healer. My pastor’s wife thought 💭 tHIS was odd, but in her office during tHIS conversation I was drawn to a book 📖 called, “Son of Man” and it was the book 📕 of Luke. Later someone told me Luke walked with Mary and may have been her personal physician.

This is the best series you guys have done. WOW. ❤

I love this I needed this info. so he was Joseph's son, and so was Judah and David....even though we split...and fell away...in sin..he never says or claims he is the son of David...very clear there...
