Two royal officials close to Pharaoh put into the same prison as Joseph
The captain of the guard of the prison put Joseph in charge of serving them
The butler and baker’s dreams 9
Each had a dream of their own on the same night
Each was disturbed by their dream and could not hide their dejection from Joseph
Believers being aware of what’s going on in people’s lives
Joseph’s care is shown in asking them what is bothering them
Each was bothered because they did not understand their dream and they thought no one was there to make it known to them
Joseph seizes the opportunity to glorify God and use the gift God had given him

Joseph gave the correct interpretation and asked for the butler to show him kindness when the dream was fulfilled
The chief baker’s dream

Genesis 40:20-23
Pharaoh’s turn
The failure of the magicians and wisemen
Two years had lapsed sin Joseph’s encounter with the butler and the baker
Did Joseph know about the fulfillment of his interpretations?
The flawed memory of the butler is jogged
Joseph’s opportunity arrives
A PROBLEM
Read book page 125 highlighted
Pharaoh states the problem and states the testimony he had heard about Joseph
No one could give him peace about the meaning of his dream
He was longing for the answer and now was looking to a Hebrew slave
This Pharaoh was quite different from the Pharaoh who followed him in the book of Exodus
Joseph begins by glorifying God
We have found the peace that comes from God through trusting His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ
Do we share it with those who have no peace?
Pharaoh shares his dream
The location in his dream was near the Nile
4,160 miles long.
longest river
Originates in highlands of East Africa empties into Mediterranean Sea (Read page 125)
Seven fine looking cows come up first
Seven ugly cows follow and eat up the fine looking cows
The ugly cows gain no weight from consuming the fine cows
Pharaoh’s Second dream
The seven ears of full and good corn
The seven withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind corn
The same result as cows
Joseph’s interpretation
The dreams are one in meaning and God is revealing to Pharaoh what He is about to do
Two dreams to emphasis the importance
The kindness and mercy of God to reveal His work
The seven good cows and corn represent seven years and repeats both dreams have the same meaning
The two dreams are one in meaning
The seven ugly cows and blighted corn represents seven years of famine
The seven good cows and corn represent seven years
Joseph repeats in giving God credit for revealing to Pharaoh the coming of the famine He is sending
Seven years of great plenty in Egypt
Seven years of plenty followed by seven years of a severe famine
The reason the dream was repeated is because the thing is established by God (it’s not going to change) and it’s coming soon
A PLAN
Choose a wise and discerning leader to oversee the total project
Choose officials that will be in charge of carrying out the plan
They will collect 1/5th of the produce in the good years
Collect the grain, place it under the authority of Pharaoh, and keep it in the cities
The collected food will be a reserve to help the people survive during the 7 years of famine
A PLACE
Jospeh’s wise counsel impressed Pharaoh and his servants
Pharaoh asks a pointed question
Pharaoh makes Joseph the number two ruler in all of Egypt
Conclusion:
Genesis 41:
Pharaoh decree’s Joseph’s new position
Joseph was 30 when he was placed in this position
Joseph was bless with two sons
Genesis 41:50
Joseph was prepared and used by God during the seven years of famine
