In prison and forgotten by man, Joseph is suddenly brought before Pharaoh to interpret two dreams that no one else could understand. He gives glory to God alone, foretells seven years of abundance followed by seven years of severe famine, and is immediately elevated from the dungeon to second-in-command over Egypt. Given a new name, a Gentile bride, full authority under Pharaoh, and the responsibility to provide bread for the nations, Joseph rises from humiliation to exaltation. This chapter presents a clear picture of Christ: the One who was humbled to the lowest place, then highly exalted, given all authority, and made the source of life for the world.
