Freedom for Joseph

By Martin Cooke

I am grieved for the house of Joseph, for those who have borne the heat of affliction who have been despised and rejected of religious men. I will now redeem my own in the sight of men. I will declare openly,” these are the ones who have followed me and are blessed in my sight”. They shall no more be pushed into a corner and ignored; for these are the very ones I have prepared to be as leaders for my people. I shall cause those that have despised my loved ones to come and confess their faults before them. Those that still reject my loved ones will themselves find rejection, even double for that which they have dispensed to others. For these are the days of vengeance, these are the days of recompense. These are the days that I shall declare over my loved ones “these are mine, those that men have so willingly despised”.
