The first chariot-rider in the Bible is Joseph, who is praised as a ruler in Egypt as he rides in his chariot (Genesis 41:43), who takes amn entourage of chariots to greet his father’s entry to Egypt (Genesis 46:29), and who takes a “great company” of chariots and horsemen to his father’s funeral (Genesis 50:9). Joseph is the first to become like his heavenly Father, who makes clouds His chariot.
The next time we see chariots, Pharaoh is chasing Israel into the Red Sea (Exodus 14:6-7). Israel was greeted with chariots when they arrived in Egypt; they are “escorted” from the land by chariots. The strength of Egyptian chariots all depends on who’s driving (Joseph or PHaraoh) and whether they are greeting or chasing Israel.
A political parable for those who control the nuclear chariots of our time.
