This Egyptian ruler was not unlike a later Candace of Ethiopia encountered by the evangelist Philip.
You know this treasurer of Egypt as Joseph
At first glance of Acts of the Apostles we hardly notice so many parallels in encounters between important men of the past. Men like Philip (who is not even an Apostle) called to meet with a eunuch reading Isaiah. Or similarly a lost son of Israel turning up in Pharaoh’s administration of all Egypt.
The Spirit of the Lord led these men to the places where they obediently follow God’s will and do the Lord’s gracious work.
Today’s Summer Scriptural rerun takes a more detailed look at Joseph’s ascent to power as a leading administrator of Pharaoh doing the LORD’s work by preparing for a great famine millennia before Christ.
