Then another king This phrase introduces a new ruler in Egypt, distinct from the Pharaoh who had favored Joseph. Historically, this suggests a change in dynasty or a shift in political power. The term "another king" indicates a ruler who did not continue the policies of his predecessors. This change is significant in the biblical narrative, as it sets the stage for the Israelites' oppression. Theologically, it reflects the transient nature of human power and the sovereignty of God over history. who knew nothing of Joseph arose over Egypt Persons / Places / Events 1. JosephA Hebrew patriarch who rose to power in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh, due to his God-given ability to interpret dreams. His leadership saved Egypt and his family from famine. 2. Pharaoh The title for the king of Egypt. The "another king" mentioned in Acts 7:18 refers to a new Pharaoh who did not recognize Joseph's contributions or his people. 3. Egypt A significant nation in biblical history, where the Israelites lived for several centuries. It was initially a place of refuge but later became a place of oppression for the Israelites. 4. Israelites The descendants of Jacob (Israel), who initially found favor in Egypt through Joseph but later became enslaved under the new Pharaoh. 5. Stephen The speaker in Acts 7, a deacon in the early church, who is recounting Israel's history before the Sanhedrin to illustrate God's faithfulness and the people's recurring disobedience. Teaching Points God's Sovereignty in Changing CircumstancesEven when leadership changes and circumstances seem dire, God remains in control. The Israelites' situation changed drastically with the new Pharaoh, yet God's plan for their deliverance was already in motion. The Importance of Remembering God's Past Works The new Pharaoh's ignorance of Joseph's contributions led to the Israelites' suffering. As believers, we must remember and recount God's past faithfulness to strengthen our faith and witness. The Danger of Forgetting History Forgetting the lessons of history can lead to repeated mistakes. The new Pharaoh's lack of knowledge about Joseph led to oppression. We should learn from biblical history to avoid spiritual pitfalls. Faithfulness Amidst Oppression The Israelites' account reminds us to remain faithful to God even when facing oppression or hardship, trusting that He will deliver us in His timing. God's Preparation for Deliverance Just as God prepared Moses to deliver the Israelites, He prepares solutions for our challenges long before we see them. Trust in His timing and provision.(18) Which knew not Joseph.--The idiom was originally a Hebrew one, for "not remembering, not caring for;" but as the words are quoted from the LXX. they do not affect the question as to the language in which the speech was delivered.Verse 18. - Over Egypt, R.T.; there arose another king for another king arose, A.V.
