WHAT
THE NAME PHARAOH GAVE TO YOSEPH?
"And Pharaoh called
Joseph's name Tzaphnath-Paaneah (Zaphnath-paaneah); and he gave him to wife Asenath the
daughter of Potipherah priest of On. And Joseph went out over all the land of
Egypt." (Gen. 41:45)
Tzaphnath-Paaneah - "Targum
Onkelos gives the meaning of the name as "the man to whom mysteries
are revealed"; pseudo-Jonathan, "one who reveals mysteries"; Josephus
("Ant." ii. 6, § 1), "a finder of mysteries." The Authorised Version has in the margin:
"Which in the Coptic
signifies, 'A revealer of secrets,' or 'The man to whom secrets are
revealed.'" There is, however, no known Egyptian etymology by which these
guesses can be supported. Jerome claims that his suggestion, "savior of the
world," rests on the Egyptian. This interpretation is also accepted by Jablonski."

Too in Egyptian this
name means: "the one
who furnishes the nourishment of life" (http://www.bible-history.com/isbe/Z/ZAPHENATH-PANEAH,+ZAPHNATH-PAANEAH)
In the beginning Messiah Yeshua was hidden too:
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not
yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not
openly, but as it were in secret. (John 7:8-10)
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Yeshua stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should
receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Yeshua was not yet
glorified.) (John 7:37-39)
Messiah Yeshua
is Saviour of world:
“And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy
saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed Messiah,
the Saviour of the world.” (John 4:42)
