1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: And Joseph answered Pharaoh saying it is not in me. 2 00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:09,039 Speaker 1: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. Genesis forty 3 00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: one sixteen.

Continue listening for an incredible Bible 23 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: story brought to you by Bible in a Year dot 24 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 1: com From Prison to Palace. Before this story, we learn 25 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: about Joseph's faithfulness in prison. His gifts for interpreting dreams 26 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: was shown to Pharaoh's cupbearer and baker in the prison. 27 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: He showed them kindness and interpreted their dreams. The cup 28 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 1: bearer was restored to his position with Pharaoh, but the 29 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: baker was hanged. The cupbearer forgot Joseph's kindness, and Joseph 30 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: continued as a prisoner. Now we learn about Joseph finally 31 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: being brought out of prison to help Pharaoh and Joseph's 32 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: assent to power inspired by the Book of Genesis. Hello, 33 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 1: I'm Jack Graham with the day's episode of the Bible 34 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: in a Year podcast. In our list time together, we 35 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 1: heard that Joseph interpreted dreams for two fellow prisoners, and 36 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: both interpretations happened just as Joseph said, though one of 37 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: the men was hanged. Just as Joseph foretold, the cup 38 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: bearer was released and returned to the palace near to Pharaoh, 39 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: though the man promised to remember Joseph and help him 40 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 1: once he was freed. This cupbearer soon forgot about that 41 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: promise and Joseph remained in prison. So today we're going 42 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: to pick up with Joseph after two more years had passed. 43 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: As he is imprisoned, he continued to pray to God 44 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: each day and to trust in God for his situation 45 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: to change, that the time would soon be right. And yes, 46 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: God is about to make it happen. This is what 47 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: we'll hear today as the Pharaoh is played with a 48 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: fearful and confusing dream that would rob him of peace. 49 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: Listen as Joseph once again turns focus to the place 50 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: where it needs to be, and see how God blesses 51 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 1: his faithful obedience, perseverance, and faith. Listen now to find 52 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: out what happens. Two whole years had passed, and Joseph 53 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: continued to faithfully serve in the prison. That night, he 54 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: prayed to God again, hoping one day he would be 55 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: delivered miles away. In the dead of night, Pharaoh writhed 56 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 1: in his bed. His eyes could be seen moving beneath 57 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: his eyelids, and beads of sweat dripped from his furrowed brow. 58 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Vivid images splashed around his mind. He dreamed he was 59 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: standing beside the Nile river. Out of the water climbed 60 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: out seven cows, attractive, plump and well fair. Coming from 61 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:31,720 Speaker 1: behind them, seven sickly and ghastly cows emerged crawling out 62 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: from the river. Pharaoh watched as the seven sickly cows 63 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 1: violently devoured the healthy cows. The nile filled with blood, 64 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,280 Speaker 1: and Pharaoh awoke screaming. Pharaoh sat up in his bed. 65 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 1: His short breaths could be heard cutting through the silence 66 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: like a razor blade. He calmed himself and slowly drifted 67 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 1: back to sleep. Pharaoh found himself immersed in a dream 68 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: once again, only this time he was by an empty field. Brilliantly, 69 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: seven ears of grain sprouted from the ground and shot 70 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 1: into the sky. The grain was healthy and ripe. Pharaoh 71 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: was enraptured by the grain's beauty. When all of the sudden, 72 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: seven more ears of blighted grains sprang up like weeds, 73 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: choking out the healthy grains. The east wind blew as 74 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: a tempest, and the hot air brought Pharaoh to his knees. 75 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 1: He awoke in another panic. In the morning, he called 76 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: all the magicians and wise men of Egypt to interrupt 77 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: his dream, Yet they tried and failed. Pharaoh continued to 78 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: be tormented by what he had seen, not sure why 79 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 1: his heart and mind was consumed by fear. The chief 80 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: cupbearer saw Pharaoh's troubled spirit, and it reminded him of 81 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: the time he once was troubled with dreams. As he 82 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:57,400 Speaker 1: remembered this, his eyes widened and he gasped, saying, to day, 83 00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 1: I finally remember my offenses. He turned to Pharaoh and said, 84 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: when I was in prison with the Baker, we both 85 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: had dreams that concerned us. A young Hebrew was there serving, 86 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: and he gave us each an interpretation that came true. 87 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him 88 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: out of the mid Joseph was shaved and given new 89 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: clothes before being sent to Pharaoh. Joseph entered the palace doors, 90 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 1: striding with the guards. The palace was more beautiful than 91 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: he could ever have imagined. The halls were adorned with jewels, 92 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: and the floors hewn from marble and alabaster. Ivory beams 93 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 1: held up the ceiling, and in the center, sitting atop 94 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: his throne, stood the most powerful man in the known world. 95 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: I have heard you can hear dreams and give their meaning. 96 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 1: He said. His voice was deep, exuding power and nobility 97 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: in each breath. Yet behind the powerful voice, Joseph could 98 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: sense fear. He had compassion on Pharaoh. It is not me. 99 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:08,239 Speaker 1: Dreams belong to God alone. He will give Pharaoh an answer, 100 00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: Joseph said. Pharaoh recounted his dreams to Joseph. Every detail 101 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 1: and image was given to him. After he was finished speaking, 102 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 1: Joseph sat silent for a moment. He looked up to 103 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: the king and spoke with confidence, Your dreams are one, 104 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 1: Joseph said, God has revealed to you his plans. The 105 00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: seven good cows and the seven good ears of grain 106 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: represent seven years of great plenty and flourishing. The seven 107 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: ugly cows and blighted grain represents seven years of famine 108 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: that will follow the famine will wreak havoc and destruction. 109 00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: If we are not prepared, it will consume the land. 110 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 1: The news troubled Pharaoh, yet he remained silent. He looked 111 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: at Joseph with concern beaming from his eyes. Joseph sensed 112 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: this and spoke again with confidence. You should select a 113 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: wise man among you, to take care of the land. 114 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: Appoint overseers and take one fifth of the produce you 115 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,800 Speaker 1: gained during the seven good years. Store the grain and 116 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: save it. Then when the famine comes, you will have 117 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 1: reserves for your land. Sir, nobody perishes. Pharaoh's once exhausted 118 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 1: face turned bright with hope. He stepped down from his 119 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 1: throne to stand before Joseph. He was taller than he 120 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: had imagined. He looked around the room to his advisers 121 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:35,839 Speaker 1: and said, can we find a man like this who 122 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: has the spirit of God? He smiled and looked at Joseph. 123 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,719 Speaker 1: Since your God has shown you all this, there is 124 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,720 Speaker 1: no one else better fit for the job. You shall 125 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,680 Speaker 1: be head over all my people, and they will all 126 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,320 Speaker 1: obey your command. Other than me, nobody will be greater. 127 00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: Listen and look, I have set you as head over 128 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:03,680 Speaker 1: all Egypt. Then Pharaoh took his signet ring and put 129 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments a 130 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck. 131 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: Joseph was reminded of the robe his father once gave him. 132 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: Pharaoh went into the city with Joseph, having him ride 133 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: his second chariot. As they passed through the city, people 134 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: cried out, bow and kneel. Pharaoh smiled and said to Joseph, 135 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: no one shall move without your consent. You are their leader. 136 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:36,559 Speaker 1: And Pharaoh renamed him Zapfanath Pania, and he gave him 137 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: in marriage Assanath, the daughter of Potipherah, priest of Ann. 138 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: Joseph once again found himself lifted from a pit into 139 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,320 Speaker 1: the blessings of God. Joseph ruled the land with the 140 00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: same care as Plotiphar's house and the prison. Favor followed Joseph, 141 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,319 Speaker 1: and the entire country of Egypt was grateful for him. Joseph, 142 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,760 Speaker 1: the young man, once rejected by his own brothers, found 143 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 1: himself beloved by an entire nation. Day after day, Joseph 144 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 1: praised that he would be delivered from prison, and even 145 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: after praying for two years, he does not give up hope. 146 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 1: He continued to faithfully serve God in the prison and 147 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: those in the prison, giving comfort to prisoners who would 148 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: cross paths with him. He had, as the scripture says, 149 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 1: a most excellent spirit. So Joseph is doing enthusiastically what 150 00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: he was assigned to do, and he pointed people to 151 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: his ever faithful God, the one true God of Abraham 152 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: and Isaac and his father Jacob. Then suddenly the winds 153 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 1: of change blow. As Pharaoh lies in bed, he dreams 154 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: a dream that greatly disturbs him, A terrible dream. Dreams 155 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 1: of good and bad, cows and grain egan groups of seven, 156 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: half good followed by half bad. Now Pharaoh himself considered 157 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: himself a god, was worshiped as a god on earth, 158 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,640 Speaker 1: But he nor his magicians and wise men could make 159 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: heads or tales of these crazy visions. It's no surprise 160 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: that when the Pharaoh is troubled, all the palace is upset, 161 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: and so word reaches the Cupbarah, the same man who 162 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: forgot about Joseph two years ago, after Joseph helped to 163 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: get him out of prison by interpreting his dream. But 164 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: then the man remembers. The cup bearer remembers that he 165 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: has forgotten Joseph, So he tells Pharaoh his story, crediting 166 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,720 Speaker 1: Joseph for his ability to interpret difficult dreams. So Joseph 167 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: is then called by Pharaoh, and Pharaoh wants to know 168 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: what Joseph thinks about his dreams. Joseph, just as he 169 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:52,319 Speaker 1: did previously does not take credit for himself. Instead, he says, 170 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: it is God, the one True God, who can give 171 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 1: Pharaoh the answer that he's looking for. And here's the 172 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: meaning of the dream. Egypt will experience seven years of 173 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 1: abundance and then seven years of famine. Now this is 174 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: heavy and hurtful news, and Pharaoh is unsure as to 175 00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: what he used to do. But Joseph, still empowered with 176 00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: the wisdom of God, he keeps telling Pharaoh what he 177 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 1: needs to do to prepare for a coming famine. He 178 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,839 Speaker 1: is so thorough in his plan given to him by 179 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,439 Speaker 1: God that Pharaoh puts him in charge of enacting it. 180 00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: So now Joseph has moved from the prison to the palace. 181 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: In an instant, Joseph finds the freedom for which he 182 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: has prayed and trusted God for so long, not just 183 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,319 Speaker 1: the freedom of being the second highest position in all 184 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,079 Speaker 1: of Egypt, for he was actually named the prime minister. 185 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: Joseph has now moved, by God's grace and power, from 186 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: the prison to the palace. Isn't that the way with 187 00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:55,680 Speaker 1: you and me? So many times when we hold fast 188 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,679 Speaker 1: to God's promises and wait patiently for him, then He 189 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,679 Speaker 1: does things in our lives beyond what we could have expect. 190 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: He does them suddenly often, and we are in a 191 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: place that we had prayed for all along. Joseph is 192 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: no longer a prisoner. He is the prime minister of Egypt. 193 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: He is a man who in all of Egypt, the 194 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: Egyptians respected and obeyed him. Other than Pharaoh himself, there 195 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: was no one more powerful than this Hebrew man Joseph. 196 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 1: He's now thirty years of age, and he realizes that 197 00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: God has delivered him and fulfilled the dreams of his heart. Still, 198 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,199 Speaker 1: Joseph does not forget that the real power lies with God, 199 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 1: the God that he serves, the God who is with 200 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: him in the pit when his brothers betrayed him, the 201 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: God who was with him in Potiphar's house when Potiphar's 202 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 1: wife falsely accused him, the God who was with him 203 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: in prison, and now the God who is with him 204 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: in the palace. Is truly one of the great comeback stories, 205 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 1: great stories of the Bible. So the question is, now 206 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 1: that he is in the palace, will he served God, 207 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,200 Speaker 1: Will he continue to be God's men in Egypt? And 208 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: will he bring about not only the rescue of Egypt 209 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: from a famine, But will he be faithful to his God? 210 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: And what to do about those brothers who more than 211 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: a decade ago conspired to hurt him, to harm him, 212 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: and even to kill him. We're going to find out 213 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: what happens with those brothers in the next episode. Dear God, 214 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 1: like Joseph, we pray that we will wait patiently for 215 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 1: you in our circumstances, knowing that sometimes you're not trying 216 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 1: to change our circumstances, but you're changing us.
