    1. Josephs Faith is Tested in Prison Genesis 40

    2. God is Working to Put Joseph in Contact with Pharaoh Genesis 40:1, 2 Then it came about after these things the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt. And Pharaoh was furious with his two officials, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

    3. God is Working to Put Joseph in Contact with Pharaoh Genesis 40:3 So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.

    4. Joseph Keeps Gaining Responsibilities Genesis 40:4 And the captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.

    5. They Had no Access to Egyptian Dream Interpreters Genesis 40:5, 6 Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation. When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected.

    6. They Had no Access to Egyptian Dream Interpreters Genesis 40:7, 8 And he asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house, Why are your faces so sad today? Then they said to him, We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it. Then Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please.

    7. The Cupbearers Dream Genesis 40:9, 10 So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me; and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

    8. The Cupbearers Dream Genesis 40:11 Now Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh's hand.

    9. The Interpretation For the Cupbearer Genesis 40:12, 13 Then Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation of it: the three branches are three days; within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.

    10. Josephs Simple Request Genesis 40:14 Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh, and get me out of this house.

    11. Joseph Is an Innocent Sufferer Genesis 40:15 For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon.

    12. The Bakers Dream Genesis 40:16, 17 When the chief baker saw that he had interpreted favorably, he said to Joseph, I also saw in my dream, and behold, there were three baskets of white bread on my head; and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.

    13. An Horrific Interpretation Genesis 40:18, 19 Then Joseph answered and said, This is its interpretation: the three baskets are three days; within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head from you and will hang you on a tree; and the birds will eat your flesh off you.

    14. Immediate Fulfillment Genesis 40:20 Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

    15. Joseph Was Completely Accurate

    16. Another Injustice is Done to Joseph

    17. Applications Interpretations Belong to God God Provides Tests of Perseverance People May Forget Us But God Will Not

    18. Interpretations Belong to God Deuteronomy 29:29 The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law.

    19. Pagans Seek Secret Knowledge Through Signs Deuteronomy 18:10, 11 There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead.

    20. God Reveals His Truth Through His Ordained Spokespersons Deuteronomy 18:15 The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your countrymen, you shall listen to him.

    21. Either/Or Either submit to what God objectively revealed through His ordained prophets. Or seek spiritual knowledge by man made techniques and be deceived.

    22. God Provides Tests of Perseverance Psalm 105:17 - 19 He sent a man before them, Joseph, who was sold as a slave. They afflicted his feet with fetters, He himself was laid in irons; Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him.

    23. God Provides Tests of Perseverance James 1:2 - 4 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have its perfect result, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

    24. People May Forget Us But God Will Not Hebrews 13:5 Let your character be free from the love of money, being content with what you have; for He Himself has said, I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,

    25. People May Forget Us But God Will Not Hebrews 13:6 so that we confidently say, The Lord is my helper, I will not be afraid. What shall man do to me?
