Ep 53. Genesis 40-42: Dreams Really Do Come True (Women's Bible Study)

What a great episode we have this week in our Women's Bible Study. We're getting closer and closer to the end of Genesis and while last week, we laid the foundation for the story of Joseph, this week we begin to see the Joseph narrative really take shape. Joseph has a prison ministry of sorts, and he faithfully serves those put in his community. He catches the attention of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and this prisoner/slave impresses Pharaoh so much, he is elevated to second in command. He uses his gifts entrusted to him by the LORD to save not just Egypt, but also his real family and the rest of the world.  We also see just how closely Joseph's life aligns with the Jesus' life. Now I want to be careful to point out that Joseph IS NOT Jesus. He's not the Messiah, but he points us toward the Messiah. We say that Joseph is a TYPE of Christ. Tune in as I point out some of these parallels, and also, we'll find a few Easter eggs hidden along the way, but you gotta pay close attention!!
