The Evidence Of Things Not See. Genesis 50:22-26 NLT

The book of Genesis comes to an end but the story is in no way over. Joseph's body laid in a coffin above ground for 400 years before he was finally returned to the Promised Land. Even though Joseph spent most of his life in Egypt, he did not want to be buried there. God had promised the Israelites their own land. Joseph claimed that promise and would wait for God to provide a permanent home for him to be buried in. Even though it took 400 years to fulfill, Joseph knew God would do what He said. No wonder Joseph is considered the father of faith.

Faith- 1) complete trust or confidence in someone or something.
2) strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof. 

Hmmm, don't know that I agree with number 2,  "Based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof." Do you need proof? 

The Bible can be proved prophetically, textually and historically:

The Bible can be proved scientifically:

And as for lack of proof, there is no evidence that any of the thousands of people that witnessed Jesus's miracles and ministry refuted or recanted their testimony. 

Genesis 50:22-26 NLT 

The Death of Joseph 

22 So Joseph and his brothers and their families continued to live in Egypt. Joseph lived to the age of 110.  23 He lived to see three generations of descendants of his son Ephraim, and he lived to see the birth of the children of Manasseh’s son Makir, whom he claimed as his own. 

24 “Soon I will die,” Joseph told his brothers, “but God will surely come to help you and lead you out of this land of Egypt. He will bring you back to the land he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” 

25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear an oath, and he said, “When God comes to help you and lead you back, you must take my bones with you.”  26 So Joseph died at the age of 110. The Egyptians embalmed him, and his body was placed in a coffin in Egypt.
