Joseph Part 18: Ephraim and Manasseh
Sep 15, 2026 • Michael Ryan Stotler
Why does Jacob cross his hands to bless Joseph’s younger son, Ephraim, over the firstborn, Manasseh? In this session, we explore Genesis 48 and uncover the profound prophetic narrative hidden behind Jacob's inverted blessing.
From the 7th birth-order reversal in Genesis to the eventual split—and ultimate reunification—of Israel and the Gentiles in the New Testament, see how this Genesis story points directly to God’s plan to fill the nations with blessing through Messiah.
