•
says comes to him by God
•
Joseph says that the significance that one individual had the same dream twice indicates that this dream is going to come to
•
in the Bible, with prophecies, there is also room for movement and change
•
the Prophet Jonah prophesied that in 40 days the city of would be destroyed
•
but after the Ninevites repent, God this decree
•
it is also significant that Joseph had his dream twice

he is actually Joseph
•
Genesis 50:18
•
brothers know now who Joseph is
•
"His brothers also came and fell down before him, and said, Behold, we are your ."
•
why are the brothers about the dreams
•

•
Joseph's story we learn by the end of the story, is order by
•
Joseph we know must get to Egypt to assist the Pharaoh in devising a strategy to be saved from the family, and to save Joseph's family from the same
•
yet this is not the way to understand the story
•
even though these dreams are given
