Joseph was the first son born to Rachel, and the eleventh son of Jacob. The name Joseph signified May God add to me another (Ge.30:24). Rachel meant thereby to imply that the name was drawing attention not for itself but something looking to future. Joseph is by all accounts is a double of Jesus. For example we have the sons of Jacob selling their brother to the Ishmaelite-Midianite caravan for 20 pieces of silver. Consider Jesus was betrayed for 30 pieces, which of course is higher in value that owes to exchange rates of the time. "And they (chief priests) covenanted with him (Judas Iscariot) for thirty pieces of silver (Mt.26:15)"Jesus came unto his own, and his own received him not(Jn.1:11). The sibling whom his brethren sold became their saviour at the time of famine. God raised Joseph from death and gave him a name above every other name.
'Our bodies as a temple' is an idea and it is valid because of the everlasting covenant. 'A body has thou prepared me' refers to the Lamb of God and tabernacle of God as a house. Our individual covenant by blood has also antecedent in the slain Lamb before the foundation of the world. All these owe to the everlasting covenant between God and Jesus Christ representing all believers forever sanctified.
The will of God is complete so the Now connects with us in time and place. For this reason names of people and persons are interchangeable because "All things were created by him, and for him:/And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."(Col.1:15-17). So when God sent his word before the worlds began it was meant to succeed. "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The same word has a logos principle (See under P-principle). Thus the Word becoming flesh has its own profile. It explains the fulness of time.
