Pharaoh, thy dreams are one

Scene 5
Harmonious Chorale Ghana - Joseph And His Brethren An Oratorio By George Frideric Handel.
Performed By The Harmonious Chorale-Ghana and Conducted By James Varrick Armaah - 2nd July, 2017
In preparation to come before Pharaoh, Joseph was washed, shaved and clothed, then brought out to do something that none of Pharaoh's advisers could do - work out what his dreams meant. Joseph displays humility again by explaining that the gift he had come from God, he was merely a spokesman. When he listened to Pharaoh's dreams, God gave Joseph the interpretation right away. 7 cows were eaten by 7 skinny cows, then 7 full ears of corn eaten by 7 sickly ones - both dreams were similar in outcome - and in essence meant the same thing. It was double confirmation that God's message was established. The translation given to Joseph - simple - 7 years of prosperity and abundance followed immediately by 7 years of utter famine that would make them forget the years of plenty. (Spiritual application: In the time of Elijah a famine that lasted three and a half years almost destroyed Israel, a SEVEN year famine would decimate Egypt and wipe it off the map - it is important to listen to God's
warnings). Joseph recommended that a discerning and wise man should be set over the land to oversee officers. To ensure the survival of Egypt he recommended that one fifth of all its produce should be stored to be used when God brought the promised famine. Pharaoh was impressed and convinced - all he needed to do now was appoint amen who fitted that description...!
