Saviour of the world

Oh, this is interesting... I've just reached Genesis, chapter 41, in my Bible in a year project and Joseph son of Jacob has just been given almost the highest honour in the land of Egypt for securing the country from the famine to come. He is given a new name by the Egyptian king which is literally the 'Saviour of the World.' 

"And with that, he took off the signet-ring from his own hand, and put it on Joseph’s hand instead; gave him robes, too, of lawn, and hung a gold chain about his neck; then bade him mount on a chariot that was next in honour to his own, and would have a herald proclaim that all must do him reverence, and acknowledge him as ruler of the whole land of Egypt. And he gave Joseph this assurance, On the word of Pharao, no one in all Egypt shall be free to move hand or foot without thy permission. He gave him a new name, calling him in Egyptian Saviour of the World." - Genesis, 41: 42-45

This is the same name that was later given to the Roman emperors, who secured the Pax Romana, the edict of peace over the whole of the then known world (from a European perspective).

And it was the name given by the Christians to the Son of God.

Later on, when famine strikes the land, the people cry for food, and Pharaoh says to them:

"When food grew scarce, there was ever a cry made to Pharao for bread, and still he would answer, 'Betake yourselves to Joseph, do what he bids you.'" - Genesis, 41: 55

This last advice has lately been given to Catholics by the Church to another Hebrew dreamer named Joseph, who has been appointed Universal Protector of Holy Church - the spouse of the Blessed Virgin.
