Betrayal
The Holy Bible contains many foreshadowing verses. An example of this is Jesus and Joseph. Jesus and Joseph were both firm through their responsibilities. They were both obligated to get through their distress, and made a way through their deception. The Holy Bible also has many verses that foreshadow how Joseph relates to Jesus. Joseph and Jesus were comparable in the choices they made. They faced many similar trials. Some of these trials include being bound, betrayed, and a savior.
Jesus and Joseph were both bound to make a way through their troubles. The definition of bound says, “A limitation or restriction on feeling or action.” This statement contributes to Jesus’ and Joseph’s hardships, and how they had to deal with them. (New International Version, Gen.39.30) states, “Joseph was bound”. Matthew 27:2 states, “Jesus was bound”. Joseph and Jesus were very similar in the Bible. There are many similar verses that contribute to both Jesus and Joseph. Joseph’s brothers were jealous of him, and didn’t believe what Joseph had to say. Jesus’ people were also jealous of him, and Jesus was put through misery, so He surrendered. …show more content…

For example, Jesus allowed the prophet Elisah to feed 100 men with only 20 loafs of bread. This miracle somewhat foreshadows the actions of Jesus because Jesus numerously feeds a large group of people with a limited amount of resources. Another miracle that can be related to Jesus is when the walls of Jericho are destroyed. These walls are known to be somewhat impossible to overcome, but Jesus tells Joshua to have his army walk around the walls, and to make noise. This causes the wall that surrounded Jericho to crumble and, also lead to conquering of Jericho.
