BETRAYED BY HIS BROTHERS,THAT WAS ALL A PART OF GOD'S
00:11:08.057 --> 00:11:09.225
THAT WAS ALL A PART OF GOD'SPLAN.
00:11:09.225 --> 00:11:11.594
PLAN.GOD KNEW YEARS DOWN THE ROAD
00:11:11.594 --> 00:11:12.695
GOD KNEW YEARS DOWN THE ROADTHERE WAS GOING TO BE A GREAT
00:11:12.695 --> 00:11:13.763
THERE WAS GOING TO BE A GREATFAMINE.
00:11:13.763 --> 00:11:14.930
FAMINE.HE NEEDED SOMEBODY ON THE

INSIDE OF EGYPT WHERE THEFOOD WOULD BE STORED SO THE
00:11:18.801 --> 00:11:20.770
FOOD WOULD BE STORED SO THEISRAELITES COULD SURVIVE.
00:11:20.770 --> 00:11:22.705
ISRAELITES COULD SURVIVE.HE HAD TO FIND SOMEBODY THAT
00:11:22.705 --> 00:11:25.040
HE HAD TO FIND SOMEBODY THATCOULD HANDLE BEING MISTREATED
00:11:25.040 --> 00:11:27.243
COULD HANDLE BEING MISTREATEDAND BETRAYED WITHOUT BEING
00:11:27.243 --> 00:11:28.878
AND BETRAYED WITHOUT BEINGVINDICTIVE.
00:11:28.878 --> 00:11:30.312
VINDICTIVE.IF JOSEPH WOULD'VE TRIED TO
00:11:30.312 --> 00:11:32.248
IF JOSEPH WOULD'VE TRIED TOGET EVEN, PUT HIS BROTHERS IN
00:11:32.248 --> 00:11:34.683
GET EVEN, PUT HIS BROTHERS INPRISON, THEN THE ISRAELITES

FAMINE.EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IS A
00:11:38.754 --> 00:11:40.556
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IS APART OF GOD'S PLAN.

PART OF GOD'S PLAN.WE CAN'T SEE IT AT THE TIME.
00:11:42.691 --> 00:11:43.959
WE CAN'T SEE IT AT THE TIME.HAVING A FAMILY MEMBER BETRAY
00:11:43.959 --> 00:11:45.861
HAVING A FAMILY MEMBER BETRAYYOU, THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

AND I WOULDN'T BE INVOLVED,ON AND ON.
00:12:33.676 --> 00:12:35.544
ON AND ON.IT'S ONE THING TO DISAGREE,
00:12:35.544 --> 00:12:37.379
IT'S ONE THING TO DISAGREE,BUT ANOTHER TO START BLASTING
