Not since the 1^st pages of Genesis have we heard reference to the 'Ruach of Elohim' (The Spirit of God), until now as the Pharaoh of Egypt testifies of the character of Joseph recognizing the Spirit of God abiding in this Hebrew slave. Significant moments in scripture record awakened understanding of unlikely converts from time to time. Millennia later, a Roman centurion would exclaim of Jesus: “Truly this was the Son of God” when the rocks cried out and the dead were raised at the crucifixion of Jesus (Mat 27:52-54). What was it about Joseph that caused a pagan king to recognize the same power that hovered over the face of the waters at the creation week was dwelling in this foreign prisoner? God Himself had opened the spiritual eyes and the mouth of the king to proclaim the glories of the only one with the power to reveal His immutable Word, interpret dreams, and grant saving wisdom in the face of catastrophe. Yahweh was staging a divine intervention through His suffering servant and the message had reached all the way to the king. Joseph's testimony sets the stage for so much of God's Word and works to come. As we behold the glories of these moments in light of further revelation, may our hearts be stirred to appreciate their incredible weight and beauty.
