Previously on the Chosen People.

Pharaoh woke with a roar leaping from his bed, his chest heaving, eyes wide with terror.

His attendant burst through the door.

My lord, are you okay? I heard screams.

These dreams are torturing me.

He means something. I know it.

When I was imprisoned, there was a man, a young man, and a Hebrew of all people.

Joseph came before the throne and bowed his knee. Pharaoh stood and stepped down to him. He paced around him, griving his scepter tightly. So, you are the Hebrew called Joseph. I hear lofty things about you, Hebrew. Is it true that

you are able to interpret dreams? Joseph smirked. He could feel a tug on his

soul like a gentle breeze. God guided Joseph into truth and revealed to him the meaning of these dreams.

Egypt will experience a time of flourishing like never before. The land will give birth to new life, and your people will be fed.

However, this prosperity will come to an end.

Seven sickly cows and the seven scorched heads of grain, they represent seven years of devastation.

After seven years of plenty, seven years of famine will strike the land like a wildfire.

This is the warning God has given to you.

With this knowledge comes a great deal of responsibility.

It will come to pass, and if Egypt is not ready, the entire world will perish.

Pharaoh was silent for a long while. Joseph watched his brow rise and fall with intense contemplation.

Joseph felt the need to shift his feet. He was uncomfortable with the waiting. Was Pharaoh going to listen to him?

Or would Joseph's rise out of the pit be even shorter than the last? This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human. As a listener of the Chosen People podcast, you know the power of God's Word.
