How were Joseph and Christ both rejected by their brethren?
Joseph was hated and rejected by his brothers when he told them his dreams of sheaves bowing to his sheaf. Christ was hated and rejected by Israel when He claimed to be their King; they said, 'We have no king but Caesar,' and demanded His crucifixion.
Les explains that Joseph was hated and rejected by his brethren when he told them his dreams of eleven sheaves bowing down to his sheaf, which burned them up. Christ was hated and rejected by the nation of Israel when He came claiming to be their King; they responded, 'We have no king but Caesar, crucify him, away with him.' So both were hated and rejected by their brethren.
