An particular allegory of Christ in the story of Joseph

Joseph's brothers were saved by him from the drought before they realized it was him. They willingly bowed to beg of someone they though was far removed from themselves. He was, of course, of their own kin. He fulfilled their needs as he had prophesied, though they had rejected him.






Similarly, the Jews who have rejected that Christ fulfills their needs and their prophecies and are willingly bowing to a yet unknown Messiah will come to find themselves, in the end of days, bowing to Christ as the Messiah. They have vehemently rejected Him, even as He walked next to them on this earth, but he, of their own kin will be their Savior.
