From Prison to Palace: How Joseph overturned Egypt’s divine world order (Torah Portion: Miketz)
Joseph was never supposed to stand before Pharaoh.
Egypt’s rigid caste system—believed to be established by the gods—kept society in line and protected Egypt's elite. Yet in a single moment, God lifted a Hebrew prisoner from a dungeon into the palace, overturned Egypt’s “divine” social order and exposed the powerlessness of its gods.
In this teaching, we trace Joseph’s journey from prison to palace, the trials God meticulously used to position him, and how his exaltation foreshadows a Kingdom where the least become the greatest. Joseph’s story reveals a timeless truth: when God moves, no system, throne, or false god can stand in the way.
