Then Joseph brought in Jacob his father and stood him before Pharaoh, and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
#genesis 47:7 #vayigash

Joseph presented Jacob to Pharaoh as an equal, not as a subject. Jacob reinforced this relationship by standing in Pharaoh's presence instead of prostrating himself, but then he subtly elevated himself *above* Pharaoh by blessing him.

This is a prophetic picture of the relationship between Israel (aka Jacob), Messiah #yeshua, and the rest of the world. Yeshua (aka #jesus) elevates Israel above the rest of the world, but in turn blesses the world through them.
