The Mourning of a Father, Turns to Strength

Father’s Grief is a Holy Event from the Hebrew Age, costing 7 faith and dealing a staggering 12 damage to a target enemy. Whether you are facing down a giant threat, swinging momentum back in your favor, or finishing off a stronghold of resistance, Father’s Grief delivers the ultimate judgment blow.

The Sorrow of Israel, The Reunion Yet to Come

Jacob, also known as Israel, wept bitterly when he saw the bloody coat of many colors brought to him by his sons. They claimed his beloved Joseph had been slain by a wild beast. The text tells us he “refused to be comforted” and declared that he would “go down into the grave unto my son mourning” – Genesis 37:35. This was not just the grief of a father, it was the ache of an entire people, unknowingly separated from their future deliverer.

This moment in Genesis is a mirror of a greater spiritual truth. Just as Jacob believed Joseph was dead, so too does much of Israel believe that Jesus, their true Messiah, is not the one they were waiting for. But the story didn’t end at the coat. The son wasn’t dead, he was exalted. He was alive and rising in power in the land of Egypt, seated at the right hand of Pharaoh. Joseph was alive and reigning, though Jacob didn’t yet know.

This card's verse is Genesis 37:35:

"And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, For I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father wept for him."

In the same way, Jesus is not dead. He is risen, glorified, and seated at the right hand of God. And though Israel has mourned and wandered in blindness, a day is coming when their eyes will be opened. They will look upon Him whom they pierced, and they will realize that the one they thought was lost is their Savior.

Everything Points to Jesus

When Joseph’s brothers came before him during the famine, Joseph didn’t immediately reveal himself, but when he did, the reunion was powerful and overwhelming. In the same prophetic rhythm, Jesus waits for His people to return in longing. The famine of the end times will press upon them, and when all seems lost, they will find Him alive.

This event reminds us that mourning will turn into joy, and blindness into revelation. The grief of the Father will one day be lifted, and Israel will be restored to the Son they never truly lost. What was thought to be dead is actually the key to their salvation.

Believer, this is a call to hope, to intercession, and to the patient love of Christ, who waits to gather in those who were scattered. He will go and find each and every lost one of them. The Father’s grief becomes the story of Heaven’s joy, and the reunion that will echo through eternity.
