Chapter 1 Summary Review
The most important thing in the story of Joseph is to see how God will start to reveal Himself.
We see G-d 's spirit in Joseph life starting at very young age of 17.
G-d by his spirit is starting to give Joseph dreams and understanding to interpret the dreams. Also we see Him appear to Joseph in the wilderness as an angel of the Lord. He then gives him direction to where his brethren have gone too.
The brethren are feeding their flock farther north in Dothan as Joseph has been looking for his brethren in Shechem which is present day Nablus.
We can see that G-d has a plan. G-d is interested in the affairs of men.
It will take many years for G-d 's plan to be revealed. But G-d is not in a hurry

He has chosen Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Later on he will use Moses to bring the 10 Commandments.
However, G-d has chosen Joseph to go to Egypt. In the process G-d will teach
Joseph many virtues. As we can see his brother 's hated him because he began to boost about his dreams. Joseph will learn humility as he grows older.
If we look at the Holy Bible there are many versus which teach on humility.
Below are some references:
Ex. 10:3
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and said unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, How long wilt thou refuse to humble thyself before me? let my people go, that they may serve me.
Mt 18:1
Christ tells disciples to be humble as a little child
Jas 4:6
We are to struggle against covetousness 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore the scripture saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
Mt 18:4
Christ tells disciples to be humble as a little child 4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Dt 8:16
An exhortation to obedience and remembrance 16 who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that , to do thee
In chapters 21 - 24, Mr. Kirwin accuses Victor for the murder of Henry Clerval. Realizing that it was Henry’s corpse, Victor falls into seizure and becomes ill for awhile. Upon his recovery, Alphonse visits Victor until his court is over and receives a letter from Elizabeth. While reading the letter, they both decide to go home and plan a marriage for Victor and Elizabeth. As the wedding begins to take its toll, Victor is overthinking of the fact the monster will show up at the wedding.
God makes a covenant with Moses called the Mosaic covenant, which is the covenant between God and the nation of Israel. The covenant was made at Mount Sinai, where God makes Moses the leader of Israel. This covenant is conditional because its organized in the form of blessings and curses. God states “I will set my Dwelling among you, and will not disdain you.
For example, in D&C 121 Christ responds to Joseph after a heart-felt payer and mentions that Joseph’s sufferings are not yet comparable to those of Job (see verse 10). Further, within the actual letter, Joseph compares himself to Paul, Peter, Job, and Abraham, in that he is suffering for the sake of Christ. Wessel (2012) likens these comparisons to the Savior’s owns words: “Blessed are ye, when men shall… persecute you … rejoice, and be glad … for so persecuted they the prophets before you” (Matthew 5: 11-12). Showing Joseph’s wrongful incarceration was an affirmation of his prophetic identity (Wessel, 2012).
This weakness is also described in the Bible as Jesus advised us not to be like the Pharisees but to be like a humble and caring person like Jesus himself. 2 “The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees are the official interpreters of the law of Moses. 3 So practice and obey whatever they tell you, but don’t follow their example. For they don’t practice what they teach.

God decided to test Abraham and told him to take his only son, Isaac, to the land of Moriah and offer him as a sacrifice. Abraham followed God’s instructions and as he was about to kill his only son, God stopped him because He now realized that Abraham is a God fearing man. God said “By myself I have sworn, says the Lord: Because you have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the send that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice” (Genesis 22:16-19). God called Abraham to be a blessing unto
Speaker The speaker is Annie Dillard, who is also the author of the book. In Holy the Firm, the author expresses her thoughts in regard to questions such as the reason that humans are created by God; the meaning and essence of God’s work; and the relationship between the believers and God. Dillard encounters great conflicts in her belief in God when she saw that a girl in her neighbour’s farm was burned by a plane crash. She starts to question whether every act of God has any real meaning in it and if it does, why would God let a innocent girl be burned by excruciating fire at such a young age when she has done nothing wrong. She even wonders if God is just a powerless creator who has no power to save those who suffer from atrocities.
In chapter 20, Victor was starting to worry about the creation he was creating. He was worrying that the two monsters were not going to like eachother or that the she was going to be way stronger than the first monster he made. Also, he worried about the kids they could possibly make, and the way they would act. Once Victor saw his other creature again, he promised himself that he would stop working on the new one, after the way his monster was looking at him. Also, the monster threatened him multiple times, and made it clear that Victor would be miserable if he didn’t create him a partner.
After all he is the largest landowner in Waknuk and the magistrate for the people, making him well known all throughout Waknuk and the outside world. If David were to run away, Joseph would send people after him and if they were to catch him, they would question him and become immensely wary of him. Joseph puts all his faith on to the Repentance’s and will do anything to make sure that is the one, true religion: My father’s faith was bred into his bones, his principles were his sinews, and both responded to a mind richly stored with examples from the Bible, and from the Nicholson’s Repentances. In faith father and son were at one; the difference between them was only in approach; the evangelical flash did not appear in my father’s eye his virtue was more legalistic (Wyndham
Soteriology Research Paper: Adoption The study of soteriology recognizes that a new believer takes on a new position in Christ when he is saved. He is given the benefits of a son or heir as effect of divine grace that is bestowed upon him, by faith and through Christ’s death on the cross with the ultimate intention of bringing glory to God. Understanding the terms of adoption, in the light of Scripture, can amplify an appreciation of personal salvation and the inheritances that it brings.
His name, Moses, was bestowed upon him by his new Egyptian mother in a similar fashion as Joseph. What separates Moses and Joseph is that Moses reclaims his birthright to fulfill God’s covenant to Abraham. This would be his second rebirth as he becomes the prophet of the Israelites. At first Moses was hesitant to fully fill in the role of the prophet, leaving much of the work to Aaron, but ultimately fills in the shoes of God’s divine messenger. This occurs with the 7th marvel as “Moses stretched out his staff towards heaven, and the LORD sent thunder and hail” (Exodus 9.23).
So they got up from the tabernacle of Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, on every side: and Dathan and Abiram came out, and stood in the door of their tents, and their wives, and their sons, and their little children. 28. And Moses said, Hereby you shall know that the Lord has sent me to do all these works; for I have not done them of my own mind. 29. If these men die the common death of all men, or if they be visited after the visitation of all men; then the Lord has not sent me.
God made covenants with the Jewish people. The first covenant was between God and Abraham. God chose Abraham to be the father of a group of people that would be special to God. God said Abraham and his descendants must obey God and live their life in a way that shows the world God was the only supreme God. In return God would protect them, help them, and give them the land of Canaan to live.

Jesus Christ describes false prophets and asks believers to avoid the harmful effect of these false prophets. He indicates that false prophets wear the clothes of sheep, but are as ferocious as wolves. False prophets will not help you to find the right way. They claim to bring the true message of salvation from God, but their claim is false. They have the appearance of godliness innocent, and fair professions of love , but they have the heart of evil.
