Title: Joseph and Jesus: Hints at Jesus' 20s
Topic: Word
Summary: Biblical literalism is set against the clear teaching that Jesus said the Hebrew Scriptures were all about Him (Luke 24; see also 2 Corinthians 3). Four things said of Joseph are virtually identical to things said of Jesus. The similarities show us glimpses of Jesus' inner life in his 20s.

10625. 'And Moses made haste and bowed to the earth, and adored' means the reception at that time of what flowed into the outward form, and worship as a result of humility. This is clear from the meaning of 'making haste' as affection, dealt with in 7695, 7866, at this point reception through influx, for all influx from the Divine takes place into a person's affection, and the person receives it within his affection too; from the representation of 'Moses' as the outward form taken by the Church, worship, and the Word, which is receptive of what is inward, dealt with in 10607, 10614; from the meaning of 'bowing down' as exterior humility, dealt with in 5682, 7068; and from the meaning of 'adoring' as worship.
