Here is a man who held a unique place in history. His is a true ‘rags to riches’ story, told out against the backdrop of the ancient Egyptian Empire. It is a story of hatred, of treachery, of slavery and prison. But above all this, it is the journey of a soul, of a man who through faith in his God prevails in seemingly impossible situations, to emerge as God’s man for the times.Joseph’s loss of freedom eventually leads to God’s reward for Joseph's faithfulness under very trying circumstances. God’s sovereignty, omniscience and power are revealed in the events that occur in the life of Joseph, and in the lives of others he comes in contact with.Joseph's brothers hate him and sell him to Ishmeelite merchants as a slave. Joseph is sold in Egypt to a high ranking Egyptian army officer. Joseph rises to become chief steward in the Egyptian's household. The Egyptian's wife tries to seduce him and fails; consequently Joseph is thrown in prison. In prison he interprets dreams for Pharaoh's former chief butler and former chief baker. As a result of this incident Joseph later is brought before Pharaoh to interpret Pharaoh's dreams.The interpretation of Pharaoh's dreams is a life changing moment for Joseph and for Egypt.
