The same threadGenesis 50:20
Joseph's years in slavery and prison were not erased but worked into the rescue of nations, which is the pattern behind the promise to give back what was eaten.
“As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save many people alive.But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”
A promise madeRevelation 21:5
The restoring of eaten years is an installment of the final promise that He makes all things new.
“He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” He said, “Write, for these words of God are faithful and true.”And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
