“His Name Shall Be Called After Me and It Shall Be After the Name of His Father”

Bryan Richards

Joseph of Egypt prophecies that the choice seer will be named Joseph and that his father will also. If this isn't referring to Joseph Smith, Jr. and Joseph Smith, Sr., who else could it be? Joseph of Egypt even says, he shall be like unto me. In this section Joseph Smith has already been compared to Moses. Now he is compared to Joseph of Egypt.

Joseph of Egypt was a savior to his brethren and father's house who were about to perish in a famine. Joseph Smith was a savior to the scattered of Israel and his family by restoring truths that saved them from spiritual famine. As Amos prophesied, the days come, saith the Lord God that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord (Amos 8:11).
