Now we have a tlilrd yenr stery of
sodden and marvelous exaltation from
a dungeon te a throae, from a place of
darkness' and angering to the roost
promlnAt place In tho power of Phu
raob to grant 'for we read, "It came
to paae at tho end of two foil years'
(*U, 1). Twe years of forgetful aeea as
the pert af the butler, twe yean at
continued humiliation for Joseph, and
then "It was euougb." God 'a time of
deliverance for His faithful servant
bad come.'
Pbaraob'e dreams, which all the wise
men of Egypt could not interpret led
the butler to re member bis faults and
to speak to Pharaoh of the prisoner,
the young Hebrew who waa servant to
the captain of the guard and who could
and did correctly Interpret dreams (ill,
0-13). Then waa Joeeph made te ran
out of the dungeon, having shaved hlm
aelf and changed bla raiment probably
with more baste than he bad ever done
In bis life before (verse 14 margin).
If the messenger told Joeeph why be
waa wanted we may Imagine that pos
sibly Joaepb bad visions of dettveranoe
near at baud. As he stood before Pba
raob the king said that be bad dream
ed a dream which no one could inter
pret. but he had beard that Joaepb
could understand and Interpret dreams
In his reply Joseph acknowledged
God. saying: "It la not In roe. God
shall give Pharaoh an answer -of
peace" (verses 15, 18i. ' Pharaoh then
told Joseph bis two dreams and added.
"1 told this unto the magicians, but
^rei^ ^^BBki couid declare It
imagine Joseph lifting up his heart t"
God as he listened to the king's recita i
of bis dreams.
What n picture? a man who had been
shut away from the world and all tho
wisdom of the world for" years In the
presence of n great Icing, but more con
sciously In the presence of the King of
kings ti nil In communion with Him and
therefore knowing what all the wis
dom of this world con fd not teach him!
We see the same great lesson In the
case of Daniel and his frlonds. for
when all the wisdom of Babylon could
neither tell the king bis dream uor in
terpret the dream when he told It nor
road even four words written by God
Daniel by the Spirit of God could do
all. The modem sbolarsblp, so called,
or the wisdom of this world Is Just as
helpless today to understand the things
of God. for they can only be known by
the Spirit of God (1 Cor. 11. 11 1. Jo
soph being a man In wbom the Spirit
of God was, be could by the Spirit In
terpret the dream to the king and saw
as be told the king tbat God was show
ing Pharaoh what He was about to do
unto
He also told Pharaoh (hat Inasmuch
as the dream wax doubled It was lo
calise the thing was established by God
and that He would shortly bring It to
pass, (rerse 32). The king was so Im
pressed by the supernatural power In
this man that be at once promoted him
to the highest plac* of power, saying.
"Only In the throne will I be greater
thnn thou" I Terse* :??. 40). Could any
thing be more thrilling than sucb words
as those of verses 41 to 4& addressed
by such a king to a man Jnst out of
prison? Read carefully and try and
