THE DREAMER

Joseph was a dreamer, and he had the gift to interpret
dreams. He was his father’s favorite and had a good
life until one day, out of jealousy, his eleven
brothers sold him as a slave to the Egyptians. He was
sold to an Egyptian Captain of the Guards. Because of
Joseph, the master was blessed and was very prosperous.
He found favor and was promoted to take charge of the
family and business affairs of the master. This did not
last long as one day he was falsely accused of seducing
the master’s wife, and was thrown into prison. In
prison, he again found favor and the Warden put him in
charge of all the prisoners’ welfare.

In the meantime, the Pharaoh’s cupbearer was also
thrown into prison. During the term of his
imprisonment, Joseph helped him to interpret his
bizarre dream. Later, the cupbearer was released from
prison and made a promise to Joseph that he would speak
to Pharaoh about Joseph’s innocence. Years went by and
the cupbearer forgot about his promise to Joseph.

One day, Pharaoh had a strange dream and none of his
advisers could interpret the dream. The cupbearer
suddenly remembered about Joseph and mentioned to
Pharaoh that Joseph may be able to help interpret the
dream. Pharaoh summoned Joseph to come before him, and
Joseph was able to interpret the dream. Joseph found
favor with the Pharaoh and was appointed as the Prime
Minister of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh.
