Genesis 41:5 View whole chapter See verse in context And he slept and dreamed the second time: and, behold, seven ears of corn came up upon one stalk, rank and good.
I dreamed a dream. I dreamed I won a lot of money. And the next day I got a letter in the mail. Which said I won 100k. All I had to do was call and verify my name, my address, age and my SS number. Only dreams from God comes true.
I studied this chapter word by word and I was amazed at God's making of a man for the Master's use grooming Joseph from critical care unit ( my modern terminology) to a man used to save all of Egypt. I am amazed at the intelligence of God! The level of God's brilliance. He is amazing.
"And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace." The Lord Jesus Christ at the right hand of God the Father sees all the inhabitants of the earth, and knows all things, and works all things by His Spirit. It should not then be thought a strange thing that good and holy men who have proven true by His Spirit, should also be so wise and understanding.
Genesis 41 and Joseph's life is consolidated by Genesis1:2-3 before God created light, there was darkness. Even a Christian before God exalts you, there has to be tribulation to reveal whether the heart will still believe in difficult circumstances. Just like Abraham before God gave him a child was subjected to long-suffering and famine even when ISAAC came he was asked to offer him to prove faith
Note carefully how this Pharaoh reacts to the words of the man of God. This particular Pharaoh was a righteous man, and true enough to recognize good and sound words from God. He also evidently had no problem with God, with respect to his own position as king of Egypt; and was ready and able to act in faith appropriately, with respect to God's doings, and his own place as the ruler of his people.
The life of Joseph shows that humility and trust in God is the only way to success, also hard work, Joseph was all over Egypt, his position did not change anything
It is my belief that God always send a warning before destruction, however it is up to us as believers to see the signs and obey them. Genesis 41 is a powerful illustration of how one believe in the power of God even during times of sorrow and pain. Joseph had endured many hardships at an early age, however he never stop depending on the Lord. He knew he would deliver on time. This nourishment!!
Is this the first documented evidence of any human being having a dream or night mare?
Can this dream remanifest itself millennia into the future?
If the numbering of Chapter 41 is NOT a pure accident, then is there any possibility of determining when the dream may reoccur? Does the total number of 14 years give an indication? For example 41 - 14 = 27 (3 x 3 x 3) or perhaps the THIRD millennium?
Genesis Ch. 41 The Father God would like his servants to give double the 1/10 tithe and give at least 1/5 the tithe to feed the hungry. the Famine is grievous. We'll help the United Nations.
wonderful picture of trinity: a type, Joseph represents Christ rejected two 2 years two 2 millenia, two-thousand 2000 first 1st advent crucifixtion then made overlord of Egypt second 2nd advent over all the earth and heaven Ephesians 3:9 "thy kingdom come" Lord's prayer to the Father "which art in heaven" Mathew only in the throne is the king of Egypt higher pharoah the Father type the Father's throne in heaven the Son sitting on his Father's throne "the image of the invisible god the Father always higher not seen " Colossians 1:16, and the book of Revelation having wisdom- a type of the Holy Ghost Genesis 41:38, the book of Proverbs, especially chapter 8, Prov. 8:24 particularly
John, very interesting subject. What it really come down to is weather your are a pre-tribulationist or post-tribulationist. One of the strongest argument pre-tribulationist have is Rev. 3:10 "Because thou hast kept the word of my patients, I also will keep thee from-not through-the hour of temptation, which shall come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Others who can be viewed as post-tribulationist consider Scriptures like Dan. 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Act. 8:1 "And at that time there was a great persecution against the church which was at Jewusalem and they were all scattered abroad through the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles. 2 Tim. 3:12 " Yea-or yes-all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. In this case great tribulations or persecutions. I say what Matt. 24:42 says, "watch therefore for you know not what hour your Lord doth come. God bless us all and also in the understanding of his Word. Praise God through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.Amen!
Zaphnathpaaneia and Asenath his gentile bride may well also represent a type of Christ and the Church, whereas those who remain in the house of Jacob Joseph 's brothers , facing the prophesied famine, could also represent the remant of the twelve tribes facing the tribution period descibed in the book of Revelation. This is a theory that has been written about by Clarence Larkin in his book 'Dispensational Truth '. It makes a lot of sense to me, much more than a lot of the anti-tribulation preaching that seems quite prevalent at the moment. It 'd be great to hear any thoughts anyone has about this! Many thanks
The seven years of plenty can relate to the times when God 's word was bountiful on the earth in past times. Now in the final days when the world especially the west is becoming more secular the word of god is being surpressed and it becomes a famine.
In Proverbs 3, God spoke about trusting Him with our heart and not trusting our head as I put it! Then it goes on to further spell out the implication of this, which is Wisdom and discretion, among other things and he further admonishes us never to let wisdom and discretion out of our sight or alse disaster is bound to happen. This was the secret to Joseph Success And in a world ridden with uncertainties, tis our key to success where everyone is failing
One of the greatest virtues worthy of emulation in the life of Joseph, apart from his faithfulness, is his humility and meekness. When asked whether he could interprete the dream though he already knew God had given him the gift of dreams and its interpretation, he ascribed all gifts to God and gave all the glory to God. The lesson i learnt there is that even to the last point, we may be tested to show what is in our heart and if we can only seek the glory of God and humble ourselves, He will lift us up. May God inspire us all to seek first the kingdom of God and live a selfless, godly life in Jesus Name
Too often we forget who is in control of our lives God know and sees all joseph was confident in our lord and because of that he remained faithful Joseph has taught us never to miss an oppurtunity to share gods love and to be faithful god does not act in desperation and he cannot be manipulated by our praise but what he resonds to is our ernest and true heartwarming praise To all the believers out there START HAVING SOME CAREFREE FAITH IN GOD ie GIVE IT TO GOD AND FORGET ABOUT IT
