Understanding Genesis: Joseph 

Bishop Barron and Jordan Peterson have done a lot in recent years to present the Old Testament to the new generation in an appealing and interesting way! And this has drawn the attention of millions! Thank you and God bless Bishop Barron!

Jordan Peterson was a huge influence on my decision to convert to catholicism.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏Holy Spirit Guide us and direct our paths 🙏

My name is José Miguel , a was named after st Joseph and My own father but i have always Been proud of having the name of Joseph the patriarch his story is one My favorite of the bible

The story of Joseph in Genesis shows that God always has a plan for our lives, even if it isn't obvious at first.

What an incredible exposition. Let Jah Jesus Christus be praised for giving this gift of insight to this great Bishop.

Delighted to hear Bishop Barron has Irish heritage, greetings from 🇮🇪 👍🙏🍀🍀🍀

Joseph is my favorite Bible story! Every time I read it God gives me a new light that shines on His goodness!! Like recently: when Jacob says to Judah, "Go to that man in Egypt and bring us back some food." Judah tells him we can't go back without your youngest son. But Jacob can't bear the threat of losing his son. The scripture says "his heart was bound up in him." This is an image of the Father to me. He can't bear the loss of his children! And I realized reading it this time that Judah is not merely sent, he offers himself when he says , "Send me father I will be surety for him forever." This is why Jesus is the Lion from the tribe of Judah! And my newest addition to this is thread of knowledge is what he says next. "If I don't go everyone will die."..!! I don't know how I never noticed that! 😊

This is complete exercise about the good bishop talking about what he cannot possibly know

Thank you Bishop Barron! God bless you! You are in my prayers!

thank u Bishop Barron. When I was a kid, my cousin told me the story of Joseph and that catapulted me into reading the bible. He was such an inspiring person in our history. Ultimately, despite our current debacles, God has a plan. And He showed us one thru Joseph

I am very grateful for Bishop Barron’s wonderfully articulate and insightful commentary on faith and Scripture.

"The text themselves humble you." Tell that to philosophy professors....

Love Joseph's story ❤️ God always stands buy us in our difficult moments. Thank You Lord!! Thank you Bishop 😊

Thank you Bishop Barron all my mind can say is "WOW ". Absolutely beautifully done on the story of Joseph. GOD BLESS 📖❤

Disciplining the ego! Bullseye! Thanks so much for the beautiful interpretation of the story of Joseph.

Thanks Bishop Barron and Brandon Vogt. I also find the story of Joseph in Genesis to be very inspiring and moving, especially when he is re-united with his brothers and he forgives them all, weeping by himself before he tells them who he really is.

I find many of these videos between Bishop Barron & Brendan are so informative, thank you both

Good Bless you Bishop Barron and Brandon 🙏🏽❤️

Thank you, Bishop Barron.

Thank you Bishop Barron and Brandon. Very interesting. GOD bless you both. Stay safe. ➕ ❤

Some interesting things I've learned about the story of Joseph over the years is that its the only story in the Qur'an that is told in a complete Surah and not just fragments. The other thing is the Semitic Hyksos site discovered and a tomb of a royal advisor that many archeologists believe belong to Joseph. I've always found the flight to Egypt typology in the NT interesting.

Thank for your work. You have led many including myself to Tradition and the Traditional Mass.

Ooh I was wondering when you guys were gonna go back to this series!

This was a wonderful show. I really liked the content. Beautiful words! Thank you. :)

Don’t be fooled by the circumstances. You may not see anything, the odds are against you, the experts say it’s not going to work out, but God controls the universe. Don’t be impatient for Him to act. Keep believing, keep praying, and every blessing that belongs to you will show up. You won’t have to go after it; it’s going to come to you. It’s going to happen at the time God has planned

When I watched that movie Joseph: King of Dreams, it had always been ingrained in my head that Joseph was an entirely innocent character, yes favored by his father and envied by his brothers, but not really proud of it. That he would have been a proud young boy makes much more sense and factors into his progression.

Re the question about starting philosophy . The first dialogue of Plato to read is the Meno. This is the dialogue about learning and specifically learning to do philosophy. Follow it with the Symposium and then some of the others before tackling the Republic. But don't miss the Republic. But the best thing is to find a good philosophy teacher that uses the Socratic method.

Always interesting and enlightening ❤️👏👏👏

EXCELLENT

Morning méditation. ...the comparison to Dante...the need to'discipline the ego'for'further works...this all makes'sense

Great teaching thanks & discipline by GOD is the best to purify & prepare you for holiness & mission. My Q is:- 1) Why consider Joseph "obnoxious" or proud just because he shared a prophetic dream of his own elevation? Is it the tone & words he used to share that are problematic? And if so how? How else would he have narrated the dream? 2) Since prophecy includes sharing inadvance visions of the future so that when it comes to pass the prophet is vindicated & GOD glorified. And of course a prophet is also to bear good fruit. Why does it sound like an issue that Joseph shared his visions/dreams with his family? What was he supposed to do .....keep silent??? 3) Is it not true that prophets are bashed ANYWAY no matter what they may say especially if it does not fit in with a people/ a persons/ group expectations? Scripture is full of prophets being maltreated, murdered, labelled as liars, persecuted etc....

Your body and spirit separate but totally intwined, all feeling that come from your senses your spirit sees, when your feeling come from your mind your spirit can't see, so when you are asleep your spirit goes through the feelings your spirit knows to understand, every feeling you have from when you were conceived till you pass is an energy, that energy makes you who you are in the spirit world, if you do rong you can not hide it, it goes to heaven with you, so be good

Word.

We love it🙃😊

Please stop the cut out music. Lol please. I love the show but there's no need for this large increase in volume on an internet show. We want long form discussion from Bishop Barron! God bless you all!

Are there parallels between Joseph in Genesis and Jesus as The Messiah in the Gospels. When Jesus says to The Apostles, Shalom after they had betrayed him and scattered isn't this like Joseph, son of Jacob, when he reveals himself to his ten brothers, forgiving them. From the twelve, there remained eleven minus one, Thomas, who was not there. Does this reflect Benjamin, the brother who was left behind with Jacob? So, were there ten Apostles who first met the risen Lord? In what ways are Joseph's brothers and founders of the tribes of Israel like the twelve Apostles? The parable of the Prodigal Son reflects back to Genesis 43 in some ways when Joseph orders to slaughter an animal and prepare it upon being reunited with his brother Benjamin.

During a time of Exil: Joseph is a story of God working in the camp of the enemy.

I've been interested in Joseph's children, Manasseh and Ephraim. They must have been special, too, because Jacob gives them the blessing that he gives his own sons. So Manasseh and Ephraim constitute two of the tribes of Israel, just as Jacob's own sons each make up one of the tribes. So, of course, the tribes then go out to all the corners of the world. I've heard/read that Manasseh and Ephraim primarily make up the UK and the United States respectively. And the "special relationship" between England and the US is often spoken of, and these two countries have a particularly important part of play in prophecy and in history. Manasseh stands for England, and Manasseh was the number one fighting tribe of all the tribes of Israel, with the Tribe of Dan being a close second. Not so coincidentally, England went on to have the greatest empire the world has ever seen, on which "the sun never sets." And much of the Tribe of Dan settled in other parts of the UK, in Ireland and Scotland, and surrounding areas, Denmark and Norway. Denmark and Norway morphed into the Viking culture, and went on to further conquer and settle in the UK, especially in Ireland. (Maybe that's why the Irish are called "the fighting Irish.") Hence, the UK became a fighting machine and conquered the world. And this special relationship seems that it will continue into the future to fulfill an important part of Biblical prophecy. I think there will be a reuniting of the British empire, and that the prophecy in Ezekiel 38:13 tells of it. In this scripture, a group of nations called "the Merchants of Tarshish and all her young lions," protest the invasion of Israel in end times, but they don't launch an attack. Tarshish is England, and England's mascot is the lion. So the "young lions" are the nations that were former colonies of the British Empire. This is probably a trading and economic empire that forms in these end times, not a military empire. And the Merchants of Tarshish and all her young lions appears to already be forming in the economic/trading group CANZUK, which presently only consists of four entites: the UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. (And AUKUS is the military arm of this forming group.) The Merchants and the Young Lions protest the invasion of Israel, and guess who else is a Young Lion? You know who--it's Israel. And also Egypt is a Young Lion, and Manasseh and Ephraim were half Egyptian. The Bible says in end times that some countries will not come under the rule of the antichrist, and two of them are Israel and Jordan--both Young Lions counties, that is, former colonies of the British Empire. I think that CANZUK, that is, the Merchants of Tarshish and all her Young lions," will be the most powerful and wealthy economic and trading group that the world has ever seen. And it's about to form quickly because these countries are particularly disgusted with China's aggressive grabs at power through the world and also at China's part in spreading Covid. And the economic sanctions that a powerful alliance like CANZUK, when it grows to include all the Young Lions (as the prophecy says it does), will be a way to control the aggression of China. The colonies of the old British Empire, the Young Lions, share similar social and cultural foundations that have weathered the break up of the Old British Empire, and it's these similarities that will bring these countries back together again, to fend off the aggression of China. These countries include India, the "jewel in the crown," of the British Empire, and the largest democracy in the world--and an important counterweight to China militarily. And, today, it's said that China owns Africa, but guess what? A third of African countries are Young Lions, former colonies of England. So when CANZUK forms, China will not own Africa! CANZUK countries are going to be so wealthy and prosperous--two of the most important waterways are owned by them now, the Suez Canal is owned by Egypt, and the Northwest Passage by Canada! In these end times, I see two main factions in the world, the CANZUK countries, prospering from their capitalistic base and societies and cultures, opposed to the axis of communistic and Islamic theocracies lead by Iran, Russia, and, of course, China. And God says he will put a hook in the jaw of the countries that invade Israel in end times. That hook is economic, these countries will not be doing well financially, and under heavy sanctions from the CANZUK countries. So the axis of communistic countries/Islamic theocracies will invade Israel. And then the Bible will spread across the world, and the end will come.

If there is only one God, how do we unite all religions to to recognise this. How can we stop religion from being a dividing force. Everyone thinks their religion is right. We are all brothers and sisters. One human family.

The episode of Joseph and Putifar’s wife reminds me false sexual accusations against priests and men more than the opposite

who is the author of Genesis?

But of course Genesis is a story and not literally history although there may be some strata of historical facts behind the story.

Sir, it is a story, not love. Not a bad problem😊

What are you up too????

Psalm 105:17-19 Joseph's Life , in the ER, on a bed the Real Evil of human nature damned , is seen You can see the fallen nature of the Evil in humans.

Nope Victory!

I disagree entirely! Joseph was an exceedingly obedient, humble and loving son; he was a boy of great courage and discipline and justice right from his youth, which is why he became his father Jacob's favourite son, and was envied by his wicked brothers. ... He was also clear-minded and loyal beyond belief!

Being a Christian, all men are my brothers, except the so-called jews. And it is deplorable that the terms 'Israelite' and 'jew' should be used here as if they were synonyms, given that the latter was only invented 200 years ago and was never in the Bible.

More respect, please. Joseph was not just 'a kid', mister bishop. Joseph was a BOY, and a YOUNG MAN. Afraid of saying it like it is? Have you been told not to use masculine nouns?
