The Great Secret of the Good News

What is the Good News? It is the testimony of the rectification of the blemish of Abraham's witness to the truth of The Holy Blessed One. What is Abraham's blemish? It is the blemish of his firstborn. What is the word of this rectification? It is the word by which there is restoration of Judah to Joseph. Why Judah to Joseph and not Joseph to Judah? Joseph, as the ruler of Egypt had agents all through the world. Nothing occured in the house of Israel of which he was not immediately intimately aware, even while to his family he was dead. Joseph had infinitely more than enough power to return to his home at any time had he so chosen. But had Joseph looked for opportunity to be restored to Judah it would have only meant the condemnation of his family and in this the sealing of the condemnation of the world. Therefore it remained for Judah to be restored to Joseph in the captiviity of Egypt, for in this was the covenant of the promise of blessing made to Abraham, for Israel and for all the families of the earth. In this, then, is the great secret of the rectification of Abraham's blemished witness, which is the rectification of the testimony of the firstborn. For through Judah Leah rejoices in the restoration and double blessing of the firstborn of her sister, Rachel.

Only through the complete knowledge of this great secret of the Good News, which was hidden with Joseph in Egypt, can the great commission of declaring the Kingdom of God unto the ends of the earth be received and accomplished by the final generation.
