“²⁴And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”

– Genesis 50:24 (NKJV)

“And Joseph said to his brethren (recognise the use of the collective noun utilised to signify the New Covenantal Brotherhood of The Faith; Joseph is not merely addressing his biological brothers, but all The Children of The Promise . . . ), “I am dying (Joseph herein exhibits that same astute prophetic knowledge as those who had gone before him; that innate sense that one is standing at the door of transition between the earthly and the Heavenly, that one is about to enter into The Promised Land as far as it concerns oneself, the weightiness and realisation, the revelation of the eternal; even more overwhelmingly so if one did not live to see the proverbial promised land also intimated in the temporal sense at the end of this verse); but God will surely visit you (this again reminds us of the Words of Christ in John 16:7, reassuring those who remain, as He ascends to be with The Father, that Another of the Godhead will remain with them always to Help [NKJV] and Advocate [NIV] for them), and bring you (“by His Divine Power and Might; it will not be of yourselves; bind these words testifying to His Sovereignty about your neck and hold fast to this promise I give you In His Name”, Joseph continues to speak prophetically) out of this land to the land of which He swore ( . . . here we now recognise this selfsame double meaning alluded to previously; 1. the earthly promised land, the Canaan the Israelites will ultimately enter into under the leadership of another Christ-type, Joshua; but what such utterances such as this ultimately always points to is: 2. The Promised Land Joseph himself is about to enter, namely, an eternal dwelling place in The Presence of The God of The Promise Himself, which God “swears” to each one of His True Children, for that is what a Covenant is: a binding oath at the point of salvation & the New Birth, and in that not only that we are saved to the uttermost eternally, but that we ourselves under The New Covenant will be transformed unto the very Christ-types we study of in these passages as we make our way to that Promised Land in our earthly pilgrimage: Phil 1:6; 2 Cor 3:18) to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob (this is the first instance in the Scriptures at the very tail-end of The Book of Genesis that The Three Patriarchs of The Faith are triunely addressed as they will eventually come to delineate even God’s Own Identity as “The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”. It is ordained to the hero of our story – with whom we have laboured these past 13 Chapters and whom we have come to Love dearly – Our Joseph, to profess this profound phrase at its inception).”
