“Behold, this dreamer cometh”
Many times, life happens and someone will exclaim, “I never saw that coming.” The shock and surprise of the torrents of life catch the most diligent of men off guard. It is within the pages of the last half of Genesis that one comes across this spiritually “in-tune” character in Joseph, who never dreamed of some of the things that happened in his life. It is to this end this author directs our attention.
From a Cave in Machpelah
George Bernard Shaw said, “Life always equals out, there is a death for every life.” Life’s cycle caught up with Sarah, and then Abraham (Genesis 23 and 25).

The Awesomeness of God’s Word
Consider with this writer for just a moment a powerful picture of Christ. Joseph is a character that auditors of the biblical narrative meet upon reaching the second half (30-50) of the second unit of Genesis (12-50).
