Did I say or imply that the literal sun, moon, and [eleven] stars bow[ed] down to Joseph? I did not.
Further, why are you tying the stars bowing to Joseph to the stars of the Revelation prophesy?
- In Psalm 147:4 we are told God "counts the number of the stars;" Is he counting government rulers?
- Gen 1:16 - "Then God mad two great lights....He made the stars also." Did he make the government rulers in Genesis' creation story?
- 1 Chron 27:23 - "the Lord had said He would multiply Israel lie the stars of heaven." So the rulers outnumber the nation of Israel?
- Rev 1:20 - "The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches." Governmental rulers? Not in the least. True angels? Or pastors over churches.
And five chapters after Rev 1 above, "And the stars of heaven fell to the earth." What fell? Stars (meteorites)? Angels? Pastors?
Does EVERY use of "stars" mean the same exact thing?
So if we look through scripture, what do we find? Does Pharaoh ever bow to Joseph. He is the governmental leader. No, he never bows to Joseph. Do any of the other governmental rulers bow to Joseph? They are subservient to him after he is made second in charge of Egypt. But scripture never shows them bowing to Joseph.
What scripture does show, is Joseph's brothers and father bowing to Joseph; along with citizens of Egypt bowing before him as he rides the chariot. (Gen 41:43; Gen 42:6; Gen 43:26; Gen 43:28; Gen 44:14).
And once again we are back to your unproven and unjustified claim that the sun, moon and stars are the government of heaven.
