OUR FATHER WHO MAKES ALL THINGS WORK TOGETHER FOR GOOD FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM AND ARE CALLED ACCORING TO HIS PURPOSES

The book of Ezekiel chapter 19 verse 4 says this;

The nations heard about him, and he was trapped in their pit.

They led him with hooks to the land of Egypt.

This verse gives some insight into what happened to Joseph the son of Jacob when he was sold by his brothers into slave traders who took him  to Egypt.

Behind the scenes, the spiritual kingdoms detected that Joseph was destined to a great role in the kingdom of Israel. 

Because these surrounding kingdoms did not want Israel to gain strength over them, they orchestrated a plot that filled Joseph's brothers with hatred for Joseph and they threw him in a pit. As they were deciding what to do to him, some traders happened to pass by and they struck on the idea of selling him instead of killing him outright.

The traders bound Joseph with ankle shackles and dragged him to Egypt.

This verse shows us how the spiritual kingdoms manipulate human beings  to perform their will and alter the courses of nations.

Even though Joseph was enslaved, his great destiny played out as intended by God and to the benefit of the nation of Israel and ultimately the whole world.

This brings to mind the scripture in Romans chapter 8 verse 28 that says; 

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Amen
