(Inspired from a sermon from Pastor Ivor Myers)

 

Joseph is a brother from another mother Church.  His brothers are in Babylon (the fallen churches).

 

But all these churches have the same Father.

 

Joseph is hated by his brothers because he keeps the Commandments of God (all ten, not just nine) and has these visions (the Spirit of Prophecy).  Joseph’s Church has a prophet.

 

Now Joseph (SDA’s) loved his brothers; but his brothers do not like him (calling him a cult).

 

So the Father (who loves the fallen Babylonian churches) sends Joseph to check on His sons, Joseph’s brothers (telling Joseph to give the message to come out of Babylon).

 

Joseph’s brothers are supposed to be feeding the flock (with the truth).

 

But when Joseph gets to them, he finds that they are not being responsible.

 

And when the bothers see Joseph and his Commandment keeping message and hating his visions (the Spirit of Prophecy), they conspire to get rid of him by tossing him out of their churches (they don’t want to hear the truth).
 

But they let Joseph live by selling the true message into a far country where they will not have to listen to Joseph’s truths anymore.

 

The brothers say to themselves, “Let us see what will become of his visions (Prophecies) now.”

 

They say to themselves, “Those visions (of a Sunday Law and the U.S.A. persecuting Christians) will never happen.”

 

So Joseph ends up preaching to heathen and tells them that a famine (of God’s Word) is Coming (the time of trouble before the Second Coming of Christ,) and we have to store up bread (understanding of the Word of Goe) before the famine starts.

 

God raised up Joseph (the SDA’s) in order to save the other brothers from another mother (false churches/Babylon).

 

So Joseph (SDA’s) starts gathering bread, because Joseph knows that during the famine for bread people will be begging for it.

 

Joseph knows a Time of Trouble is coming and he knows his brothers are not preparing for it.

 

Because the Father loves Joseph’s brothers still and Joseph must save up the bread for such-a-time as that.

 

Are You Storing Bread?  Because a famine is coming; not of bread; not of water; but of the hearing of the Word of the Lord.  The only way to overcome this famine is by this bread.  No bread and you will be overcome by the coming master dilution.
