Lecture: Biblical Series XV: Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors

Watch Exodus available exclusively on DailyWire+: bit.ly/3UgQLe6
This lecture closes the 2017 lecture series, and the book of Genesis. In it, I present the story of Joseph who, as the wearer of the coat of many colors, is profoundly adaptable, courageous, adaptable, merciful and just. Even in slavery -- even in prison -- he comes out triumphant, because of the strength of his character and his wisdom. Betrayed by his brothers, he acts to strengthen his family; unjustly accused by the Pharaoh's wife, he maintains his faith.

Jordan idk if you read your comments but you've already given me the greatest present a person could ever reason and that's a new lease on life..I was a ten year opiate addict and your speeches motivated meto better my life and then my family situation by renewing my relationship with my sister. I put her through hell because of my addiction but now we're closer than ever. After I mended those bridges I started trying to better my local community once I had my act together. I work at a homeless shelter once a week and also at a soup kitchen. So two days a week I donate my time to the less fortunate and it's all because of you. If it wasn't for you I could be dead. I quit heroin cold turkey and when I was at my darkest times and it was your speeches I would listen to that got me through the worst and darkest moments of my detox and recovery. You are literally my hero in a world where people call athletes and celebrities heros. However, you're a real hero and I hope you continue doing what you do. I love you Dr. Peterson. Thank you for everything.

So much for going to bed... God is not dead. I had to bury my grandmother who was basically my mother on the day of this lecture. I held her hand as she was dying from septic shock, alone with her in an awful hospital room. She couldn’t talk but was mouthing the word “help” and I never left her side to make sure I was there to get the nurses to relieve her pain. It was a huge responsibility to keep it together for the final hours of someone who lived 92 years. All I wanted was to crawl into a ball and sob and plead with God to not take her from me. I did the opposite, I made sure she knew I was there for her and I pleaded with God to take her for her suffering was too much. She didn’t deserve this. Why would God make her suffer so much? She obeyed him for 92 years and she died clawing at me in desperation. I try to be as good as a person she was. I’m not but I will always keep trying. I was the “useful” person at the funeral and made sure everything was perfect and according to her plans. Two weeks later and I’ve been feeling very lost without my 92 year old confidant who was my key to the past. I plead with my 3 year old to remember her since they just shared happy moments and hugs days prior while we visited her home before her sudden illness leading to sepsis. Also, thanks Dr. Peterson because I just wrote down everything I was thinking moments prior as I was trying to sleep. I usually listen to religious topics as I drift off to sleep but I couldn’t find anything that was interesting enough. Perhaps, because everything seems to irritate me these days. I got a notification of this video and I felt a bit of happiness for the first time in 2 weeks and something to look forward too if I don’t finish tonight.

Z T, I lost my grandfather to septic shock. He got home from the hospital after being in for two months because he took a fall. I had dinner with him at his favorite BBQ place and that night he fell asleep and never woke up. He was in the hospital for two days and finally passed. It was the hardest thing to hold his hand as he shook and writhed in his sleep. I know how it feels and I am so terribly sorry for your loss. God bless you and I pray that your family finds healing. Though it was so brave of you to stay by her side. I knew I couldn't stay by my grandpa's side for more than an hour. Seeing him suffer was too much. You're an angel.

I have a friend who told me this amazing story, he was walking through calcutta and around him was a sea of beggers just begging and pleading for coin which naturally makes you feel pity, anyway he saw one man sitting on the floor, no arms and nothing but rags to his name, this man was not begging he was using his feet as you would hands to make arts and craft like trinkits to sell to tourists and people passing by, when he told me that I didn't feel pity I felt awe because inspite of having nothing with the prospect of having maybe just enough to survive a little longer his life was still worth his effort, it didn't matter matter that he couldn't amount to what we would consider a low status and standard of living yet alone a high status and standard of living his life was still worth it because he hadn't given up on putting in the effort and becoming a better even tho he had every reason to. Contrast that with upper middle class rich kids who are resentful and bitter just because someone who isn't them is doing better or is famouse or successful.....its like this guy has every reason to give up and be resentful or hopeless yet his self worth transcends a fate I don't know If I'd have the strength to accept half of.

Every single one of my 33 years on this earth, I have spent in deep spiritual and existential pain. I woke up in pain, I went to bed in pain. The most euphoric moments of my memory are simply memories that I hold that I remember without pain. Dr. Peterson has helped put that pain into perspective, he has helped make that pain make sense. He cannot, and does not intend to make my tortured and tormented childhood OK. What he does is give me a roadmap towards the future. His teachings give me an existence based on positivity, based on the creation of a positive tangible reality. Thank you. Tonight in particular, December 19, 2017, I spent the entire evening out in my garage, crying, as I remembered my immensely unhappy childhood life, all alone. I locked myself in my garage, away from the world, because even my pain causes me embarrassment. Feeling empty, and embarrassed for my own emotions, I came inside to go to bed at 1:15 in the morning, Without anything to live for, without a reason to wake up. But much to my pleasant surprise, here I see an upload by the good doctor, and I know that at least for tonight, the world will make sense.

I am a Christian and I am so humbled and grateful to Dr. Peterson for approaching these sacred scriptures with such gravity. I have rarely encountered a teacher within my own faith that has treated these stories with as much care and respect as Dr. Peterson has in these lectures. His perspective and insight have breathed new life into my own understanding of Genesis. Many times listening to this series, my heart has swelled with joy as he expressed his respect and admiration for what he understands within these pages. I wish I could shake his hand and say thank you in person, but until that day, "THANK YOU DR. PETERSON! It has been a transformative journey, one that I will continue to consider as I grow in my own faith." Blessings on you, Dr. Peterson. May you find illumination and peace in all your endeavors.

Where His name embarrasses the wealthy and the powerful... Jordan you did not shy away. You did run in fright. God bless you! God bless you our family. You're the father I needed and never had.

I am now 19, I set it goal for 10 years, I hope that I can meet you at the time you are a 70 years old, handsome and wise man!!! Thank you so much, bow down to you, Dr Jordan Peterson!!!!

Jesus came to save us sinners. He was crucified, buried and then rose again on the third day. Now when we believe in Him we have eternal life and forgiveness of sins. God loves you believe in Christ Jesus! For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

[@anderslennartsson1828]

What Peteeaon talks about 8 minutes in, that its easier to see what you shouldn't do, than you should do, is the best advice I've taken from his lectures. I have been actively thinking about not doing things I know I shouldn't do for a year now and nothing has improved me more. Now I can see way more clearly the path to the good, becasue so much bad is out of my way.

I've heard this phrase recently and I feel its VERY applicable to this. Worry less about those who you may offend and care more for those whom you may inspire! And I truly believe this has done that very thing for the vast majority of us who have watched these lectures from the beginning

[@laurahano2587]

I am four years late to the party 🎉 Loving JPs lectures but a little nervous after watching Noah and the great flood, a pipe burst in my bedroom and flooded my home. I skipped Sodom and Gomorrah (forgive any misspelling) and chose this safer lecture instead.

5 million people have watched these videos so far! I would like to congratulate you all! I've read plenty of comments on here and seems like most are either agnostic or atheists. And a vast majority of you have commented in a very mature manner! I'm a Christian and this has most definitely open my mind to a more parable mentality that I've thought of the early stories for a long time. From what I've read from a lot of you, this has also done the same. So I hope this has given you a thought that has shown you relevance to the Bible

[@KGS922]

J M I'm muslim, JBP is pretty awesome, although he has said one or two things which I haven't agreed with. Although I may have misunderstood him. One of them was his vice interview where he talked about makeup in the workplace

[@TheTurinturumbar]

Well, for me he's helped me look past my infatuation with my intellect and taking it literally. It does not matter if god exists or not. It's existence, the nature of being and our relationship with it and it helps our primitive brains thinking of it as a being and have as an axiom that you don't question or blame it. If it actually was a being there would be quite a bit for it to answer for but as it stands there's no use to expect/demand such.

Dear Sir Dr. Jordan Peterson. Thank you very much for this unbelievable series of lectures. Making education available to hungry minds of any age and backgrounds. As for intellectual desire and practical utility for life. You are the force of making order out of chaos, making sense out of the insane world and total confusion. The dragon seems much more tamable. My hunger for knowledge has not yet satisficed. Looking forward for your full recovery from the flood that came to you. Wishing you all the health and prosperity potentially possible from the bottom of my clean rooms of my heart :)

[@jaimecoutanche5977]

WISE ARCADIAN Maybe further research will reveal Jesus was not born 25th December this is a pagan celebration of saturnalia. Jesus was related to (possibly his cousin) John the Baptist and he was born 6 months prior to Jesus. John was born in April so Christ's birth would of been around October. If Jehovah wanted us to celebrate his son's birth it would be clearly set in his word. Birthdays were pagan and there are 2 birthdays in tbe bible. The Pharaoh"s and Herod's and neither were portrayed in a good light in scripture, both had murder on the menu. Christmas is a commercial scam.

Someone should make more of these. Maybe ....

Thank you, Dr. Peterson. You've helped me align my life and realize my goals. You've helped me face a recurring nightmare I've had for years and I finally feel like im making progress in my life, albeit slowly. Practically, you have brought about the building of my ark so I can withstand the flood- which my current familial situation is bringing upon me nearly daily. It will be hard road to walk, but one that is worthwhile, for the ultimate aim shall keep me upright in my endeavors. I will strive to be the best I can be in all areas, contemplating constantly how I can do it better.

[@maureensinisi8915]

I learned from a spiritual Master long ago: "Make no comparison with your fellow man." This has helped me tremendously and has been a commandment I have lived up to. Instead of resentment, jealousy, competition, and all negative reactions, I live grateful with every gift given. Imagine if Cain would have considered how to make himself better, instead of what he did chose.

[@priley817]

Nothing wrong with comparing yourself to your fellow man if it inspires you to become a better human. Competition is fine… it should anger you others are living well and that anger should be channeled toward action. The panoply of emotions are all to be used… not rejected.
