1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying it is not in me. 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 1: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. Genesis forty 3 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 1: one sixteen.

In Jesus' name. Amen, Thank you 22 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: for praying with me today. Continue listening for an incredible 23 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 1: Bible story brought to you by Bible in a Year 24 00:01:45,240 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: dot com. 25 00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 2: From Prison to Palace. Before this story, we learn about 26 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: Joseph's faithfulness and prison. His gifts for interpreting dreams was 27 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: shown to Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker in the prison. He 28 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: showed them kindness and interpreted their dreams. The cup bearer 29 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: was restored to his position with Pharaoh, but the baker 30 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 2: was hanged. The cup bearer forgot Joseph's kindness, and Joseph 31 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: continued as a prisoner. Now we learn about Joseph finally 32 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: being brought out of prison to help Pharaoh and Joseph's 33 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 2: assent to power inspired by the Book of Genesis. 34 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 3: Hello, I'm Jack Graham with the day's episode of the 35 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 3: Bible in a Year podcast. In our list time together, 36 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 3: we heard that Joseph interpreted dreams for two fellow prisoners, 37 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: and both interpretations happened just as Joseph said, though one 38 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 3: of the men was hanged. Just as Joseph foretold, the 39 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 3: cupbearer was released and returned to the palace near to Pharaoh, 40 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 3: though the man promised to remember Joseph and help him 41 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: once he was freed. This cupbearer soon forgot about that 42 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 3: promise and Joseph remained in prison. So today we're going 43 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 3: to pick up with Joseph after two more years had passed. 44 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: As he is imprisoned, he continued to pray to God 45 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 3: each day and to trust in God for his situation 46 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,800 Speaker 3: to change, that the time would soon be right. And yes, 47 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 3: God is about to make it happen. This is what 48 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 3: we'll hear today as the Pharaoh is played with a 49 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: fearful and confusing dream that would rob him of peace. 50 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: Listen as Joseph once again turns focus to the place 51 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: where it needs to be, and see how God blesses 52 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: his faithful obedience, perseverance, and faith. Listen now to find 53 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 3: out what happens. 54 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: Two whole years had passed, and Joseph continued to faithfully 55 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 2: serve in the prison. That night, he prayed to God again, 56 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 2: hoping one day day he would be delivered miles away. 57 00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: In the dead of night, Pharaoh writhed in his bed. 58 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: His eyes could be seen moving beneath his eyelids, and 59 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: beads of sweat dripped from his furrowed brow. Vivid images 60 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: splashed around his mind. He dreamed he was standing beside 61 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: the Nile river. Out of the water climbed out seven cows, attractive, 62 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 2: plump and well fay. Coming from behind them, seven sickly 63 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: and ghastly cows emerged crawling out from the river. Pharaoh 64 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: watched as the seven sickly cows violently devoured the healthy cows. 65 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: The nile filled with blood, and Pharaoh awoke screaming. Pharaoh 66 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 2: sat up in his bed. His short breaths could be heard, 67 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: cutting through the silence like a razor blade. He calmed 68 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 2: himself and slowly drifted back to sleep. Pharaoh found himself 69 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 2: immersed in a dream once again, only this time he 70 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 2: was by an empty field. Brilliantly, seven ears of grain 71 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: sprouted from the ground and shot into the sky. The 72 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: grain was healthy and ripe. Pharaoh was enraptured by the 73 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 2: grain's beauty. When all of the sudden, seven more ears 74 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 2: of blighted grains sprang up like weeds, choking out the 75 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: healthy rains. The east wind blew as a tempest, and 76 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: the hot air brought Pharaoh to his knees. He awoke 77 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 2: in another panic. In the morning, He called all the 78 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 2: magicians and wise men of Egypt to interrupt his dream. 79 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 2: Yet they tried and failed. Pharaoh continued to be tormented 80 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: by what he had seen, not sure why his heart 81 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 2: and mind was consumed by fear. The chief cupbearer saw 82 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 2: Pharaoh's troubled spirit, and it reminded him of the time 83 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 2: he once was troubled with dreams. As he remembered this, 84 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 2: his eyes widened and he gasped, saying, to day, I 85 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 2: finally remember my offenses. He turned to Pharaoh and said, 86 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,359 Speaker 2: when I was in prison with the Baker, we both 87 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: had dreams that concerned us. A young Hebrew was there serving, 88 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: and he gave us each an interpretation that came true. 89 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 2: Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him 90 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 2: out of the pit. Joseph was shaved and given new 91 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 2: clothes before being sent to Pharaoh. Joseph entered the palace doors, 92 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 2: striding with the guards. The palace was more beautiful than 93 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 2: he could ever have imagined. The halls were adorned with jewels, 94 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: and the floors hewn from marble and alabaster. Ivory beams 95 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 2: held up the ceiling and in the center, sitting atop 96 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,800 Speaker 2: his throne, stood the most powerful man in the known world. 97 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: I have heard you can hear dreams and give their meaning, 98 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 2: he said. His voice was deep, exuding power and nobility 99 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:58,479 Speaker 2: in each breath. Yet behind the powerful voice, Joseph could 100 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 2: sense fear. He had compassion on Pharaoh. 101 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: It is not me. 102 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 2: Dreams belong to God alone. He will give Pharaoh an answer, 103 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: Joseph said. Pharaoh recounted his dreams to Joseph. Every detail 104 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 2: and image was given to him. After he was finished speaking, 105 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: Joseph sat silent for a moment. He looked up to 106 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 2: the king and spoke with confidence, Your dreams are one, 107 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,800 Speaker 2: Joseph said, God has revealed to you his plans. The 108 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: seven good cows and the seven good ears of grain 109 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: represent seven years of great plenty and flourishing. The seven 110 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: ugly cows and blighted grain represents seven years of famine 111 00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 2: that will follow. The famine will wreak havoc and destruction. 112 00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: If we are not prepared, it will consume the land. 113 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: The news troubled Pharaoh, yet he remained silent. He looked 114 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:59,679 Speaker 2: at Joseph with concern beaming from his eyes. Joseph sensed 115 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: this and spoke again with confidence. You should select a 116 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: wise man among you to take care of the land. 117 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,280 Speaker 2: Appoint overseers, and take one fifth of the produce you 118 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: gained during the seven good years. Store the grain and 119 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 2: save it. Then when the famine comes, you will have 120 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: reserves for your land, so nobody perishes. Pharaoh's once exhausted 121 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: face turned bright with hope. He stepped down from his 122 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 2: throne to stand before Joseph. He was taller than he 123 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: had imagined. He looked around the room to his advisers 124 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 2: and said, can we find a man like this who 125 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 2: has the spirit of God? He smiled and looked at Joseph. 126 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 2: Since your God has shown you all this, there is 127 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 2: no one else better fit for the job. You shall 128 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 2: be head over all my people, and they will all 129 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:53,319 Speaker 2: obey your command. Other than me, nobody will be greater. 130 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 2: Listen and look, I have set you as head over 131 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 2: all Egypt. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring and put 132 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 2: it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments a 133 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck. 134 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: Joseph was reminded of the robe his father once gave him. 135 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 2: Pharaoh went into the city with Joseph, having him ride 136 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 2: his second chariot. As they passed through the city, people 137 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 2: cried out, bow and kneel. Pharaoh smiled and said to Joseph, 138 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: no one shall move without your consent. You are their leader. 139 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 2: And Pharaoh renamed him zapphanath Pania, and he gave him 140 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,319 Speaker 2: in marriage Asanath, the daughter of Portipherah, priest of Ann. 141 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: Joseph once again found himself lifted from a pit into 142 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: the blessings of God. Joseph ruled the land with the 143 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: same care as Plotiphar's house and the prison. Favor followed Joseph, 144 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: and the entire country of Egypt was grateful for him. Joseph, 145 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 2: the young man, once rejected by his own brothers, found 146 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: himself beloved by an entire nation. 147 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 3: Day after day, Joseph prays that he would be delivered 148 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 3: from prison, and even after praying for two years, he 149 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 3: does not give up hope. He continued to faithfully serve 150 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,200 Speaker 3: God in the prison and those in the prison, giving 151 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 3: comfort to prisoners who would cross paths with him. He had, 152 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 3: as the scripture says, a most excellent spirit. So Joseph 153 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:33,559 Speaker 3: is doing enthusiastically what he was assigned to do. And 154 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 3: he pointed people to his ever faithful God, the one 155 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 3: true God of Abraham and Isaac and his father Jacob. 156 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 3: Then suddenly the winds have changed blow. As Pharaoh lies 157 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 3: in bed, he dreams a dream that greatly disturbs him, 158 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,640 Speaker 3: a terrible dream, dreams of good and bad cows and 159 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: grain agin groups of seven half good followed by half bad. 160 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 3: Now Pharaoh himself considered himself a god, was worshiped as 161 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: a god on earth. But he nor his magicians and 162 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,120 Speaker 3: wise men could make heads or tails of these crazy visions. 163 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: It's no surprise that when the Pharaoh is troubled, all 164 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,840 Speaker 3: the palace is upset, and so word reaches the cupbearer, 165 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: the same man who forgot about Joseph two years ago, 166 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: after Joseph helped to get him out of prison by 167 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 3: interpreting his dream. But then the man remembers. The cup 168 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 3: bearer remembers that he has forgotten Joseph, So he tells 169 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:37,079 Speaker 3: Pharaoh his story, crediting Joseph for his ability to interpret 170 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: difficult dreams. So Joseph is then called by Pharaoh, and 171 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: Pharaoh wants to know what Joseph thinks about his dreams. Joseph, 172 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 3: just as he did previously does not take credit for himself. Instead, 173 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 3: he says, it is God, the one true God, who 174 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 3: can give Pharaoh the answer that he's looking for. And 175 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 3: here's the meaning of the dream. Egypt will experience seven 176 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 3: years of abundance and then seven years of famine. Now 177 00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 3: this is heavy and hurtful news, and Pharaoh is unsure 178 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,480 Speaker 3: as to what he used to do. But Joseph, still 179 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 3: empowered with the wisdom of God, he keeps telling Pharaoh 180 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,959 Speaker 3: what he needs to do to prepare for a coming famine. 181 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,679 Speaker 3: He is so thorough in his plan given to him 182 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 3: by God that Pharaoh puts him in charge of enacting it. 183 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 3: So now Joseph has moved from the prison to the palace. 184 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 3: In an instant, Joseph finds the freedom for which he 185 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,840 Speaker 3: has prayed and trusted God for so long, not just 186 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,320 Speaker 3: the freedom of being the second highest position in all 187 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 3: of Egypt, for he was actually named the prime minister. 188 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 3: Joseph has now moved, by God's grace and power, from 189 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 3: the prison to the palace. Isn't that the way with 190 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 3: you and me? So many times, when we hold fast 191 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: to God's promises and wait patiently for him, things in 192 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: our lives beyond what we could have expected. He does 193 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 3: them suddenly often, and we are in a place that 194 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 3: we had prayed for all along. Joseph is no longer 195 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,760 Speaker 3: a prisoner. He is the prime minister of Egypt. He 196 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 3: is a man who in all of Egypt, the Egyptians 197 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 3: respected and obeyed him. Other than Pharaoh himself, there was 198 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 3: no one more powerful than this Hebrew man Joseph. He's 199 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,839 Speaker 3: now thirty years of age, and he realizes that God 200 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 3: has delivered him and fulfilled the dreams of his heart. Still, 201 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: Joseph does not forget that the real power lies with God, 202 00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: the God that he serves, the God who is with 203 00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,360 Speaker 3: him in the pit when his brothers betrayed him, the 204 00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 3: God who was with him in Potiphar's house when Potiphar's 205 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,319 Speaker 3: wife falsely accused him, the God who was with him 206 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 3: in prison, and now the God who is with him 207 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,960 Speaker 3: in the palace. Is truly one of the great comeback stories, 208 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 3: great stories of the Bible. So the question is, now 209 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 3: that he is in the palace, he served God, will 210 00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 3: he continue to be God's men in Egypt? And will 211 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,040 Speaker 3: he bring about not only the rescue of Egypt from 212 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 3: a famine, but will he be faithful to his God, 213 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 3: and what to do about those brothers who more than 214 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 3: a decade ago conspired to hurt him, to harm him, 215 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 3: and even to kill him. We're going to find out 216 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: what happens with those brothers in the next episode. Dear God, 217 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 3: like Joseph, we pray that we will wait patiently for 218 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 3: you in our circumstances, knowing that sometimes you're not trying 219 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:36,720 Speaker 3: to change our circumstances, but you're changing us.
