CHRIST IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT

Before Bethlehem, Jesus intervened often in this world. This series presents some of those occasions, along with “types” of Christ: people and objects who represent Him and His qualities.

I wonder if Joseph looked like Donny Osmond?...............

[etabeta]

Thank you, Dan.
Favorites Ivanov, Tissot, De Pujol, Sokolowski, Arthur...oh, well, they are all very good paintings.

[Bob434]

Joseph was able to say to his brothers who betrayed him “fear not. What you meant for evil, God meant for good”

Not sure that woulda been my response to anyone who betrayed me so horrendously like that, but things did work out accord8ng to God’s plan, so maybe Ida had enough sense to see it and respond in like manner, knowing God used me so spectacu.arly in such difficult times.

[Hebrews 11:6]

He must have, mustn’t he?.....................

[Red Badger]

The play wasn't very good. The costumes were goofy. Why they had to 'modernize' everything I don't know. The original LP is great, and has a good score. The movie I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars.............. Scene from the stage version, Melbourne 2022: Looks gay..................

[No name given]

These paintings are so inspiring and beautiful.

[Hebrews 11:6]

oh, well, they are all very good paintings.

I'm not wearing you down, am I, Alba? LOL

[Hebrews 11:6]

Joseph did have plenty of leisure in which to contemplate his fate. And his experience with dreams demonstrates he and the Holy Spirit were close.

[Hebrews 11:6]

‘Fraid I missed it. Thanks for your review.....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

I quite agree.

[etabeta]

Never!

[Bob434]

Yes that’s true. My dreams are nightmares, so pretty sure I don’t have the p4ivilege of dream encounters with God like he did. If I did, I would likely have known it was all of God and planned by him for a r3ason. I tend however to get frustrated when things don’t go soutH on me, and miss the larger picture as a result.

[Hebrews 11:6]

We’re all like that, Bob, but the Spirit is sanctifying us. We are witnesses of His work with Joseph.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good!

[Scott from the Left Coast]

And not only that…he was also the founder of the profession of logistics!

[Hebrews 11:6]

God gave him wisdom, and wisely he received it.

[Big Red Badger]

Timothy Bottoms played ‘David’ in a Real
Stinker of a T.V. series.
.
I’m really impressed by Dean Jones in
A one man stage Play called;
“John,in Exile.”
Outstanding!

[Hebrews 11:6]

I heard yesterday there is a new series in the pipeline called The House of David, supposedly about Saul & David. Don't have details....
