Joseph interprets Pharaoh's troubling dreams and reveals God's plan for seven years of abundance followed by seven years of devastating famine in Egypt. Through divine wisdom and humility, Joseph provides both the interpretation and solution that will save Egypt from destruction.
• Pharaoh experiences two disturbing dreams - one about seven fat cows being devoured by seven thin cows, and another about seven plump grain ears swallowed by seven withered ears
• After Egypt's magicians and wise men fail to interpret the dreams, the chief cupbearer finally remembers Joseph from prison
• Joseph immediately gives glory to God when brought before Pharaoh, saying "It is not in me. God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer"
• The interpretation reveals God's plan: seven years of abundance followed by seven years of severe famine
• Both dreams convey the same message, with the repetition confirming God's determination to bring it about soon
• Joseph advises Pharaoh to appoint a wise administrator to collect one-fifth of produce during the plentiful years
• The stored grain will prevent Egypt from perishing during the coming famine
Join us next week as we continue in Genesis 41 and witness Joseph's rise to power in Egypt.
