Goodness! Sitting here this minute, God gave me more on this revelation. I speak truth, I lie not.
I just wrote on another thread that we had a 'Joseph' in both the OT and the NT.
I was wondering about that. It just came to me. I knew He showed me that Paul had to have the name change, for he could not do the NT work with the OT name of Saul.
Now God just showed me that since Jesus was born under the OT Law, in the human flesh, under the curse of the OT Law, then he had a dad with the OT Name of Joseph. since the other Joseph also was still under the law and acting that part as he took Jesus off the cross, he also had to have an OT Name.
So Joseph is an OT Name; not a NT name. Glory. There must be coming something great from all of this. I never got into any of this before. This is most interesting and intriguing to me.
