BRAGADAYJAH 137

God’s word cannot ever be void. And his prophesies must come true, even when it comes in the form of dreams, as in Joseph’s case So that in the seven years as foretold in the dream, and as interpreted by Joseph, the land of Egypt bore plenteously. There was more than was needed for consumption so that there was much to be stored and saved up. So Joseph went from city to city and stored up the bountiful harvest, including corn, said to be as numberless as the sand of the sea shore. The bountiful God, in other words, made sure that Joseph was fully enabled and aided in performing that which he had been appointed and promised to do. Not only were the lands and fields bountiful, but Joseph also was blessed with two sons of his wife whom he had married, and both sons were born within the seven year period of bounty before the years of the famine. And Joseph called the name of the first son Manasseh; for God had by him caused Joseph to forget all the toils and troubles of his father’s house. And he called the name of the second son Ephraim; for God had caused him to be fruitful in the land of his affliction. Eventually then, the seven years of plenty came to an end, and the seven years of famine began and was universal. Everywhere there was famine; but as God had shown Joseph and had provided, there was no lack of bread in the land of Egypt. So when the famine struck and the people cried to the King for food, they were told to go to Joseph and to do as he command them do. As the famine bit harder and deeper, word got out that there was corn in Egypt, and soon, from all the surrounding Nations, people were turning to Egypt and travelling there to buy food. More
