1 | Why two dreams instead of one? | Gen 41:25 | TommyS | 110644 | ||
(I messed up and put this question under "note", so I'm trying again.) Pharaoh dreamt dreams of seven fat and seven skinny cows, plus seven good heads and seven worthless heads of grains. When Joseph was asked what the dreams mean he answered, “The dreams of Pharaoh are one and the same.” The fat cows and the good wheat both meant seven years of plenty. The skinny cows and worthless heads of grain both meant seven years of famine. Why did he have “double” dreams IF they were one and the same? Wouldn’t seven fat cows being eaten by seven skinny cows offered the same warning? Is there something I am missing here? |

2 | Why two dreams instead of one? | Gen 41:25 | Taleb | 110682 | ||
TommyS, I spotted this question earlier and was tempted to offer a possible explanation. While I'm on the keyboard, I'll go ahead. Joseph himself had two dreams before he was sold. They too meant the same thing. His brothers did bow down. God seems to have "set an example" of offering us another one of His mysteries - which those in the world can't grasp, because they don't have His Spirit. Usually, while reading Scriptures, people fail to keep the WHOLE in proper prepective. Take Revelations for example. Most are "afraid" to really tackle the wonders of that book. Like the dreams of Pharaoh, God did the same thing with Revelation. Many erroneously think that first the seals, then the angels, then the trumpets, then the vials. Wrong. Just like Pharaoh's dream - they fit together. The first trumpet and the first vial - exactly the same thing. All seven of each are the same. First trumpet "upon the earth". First vial "on the earth". Second trumpet - sea and blood. Second vial - sea and blood. etc. etc. The first seal and the first angel are one and the same. The seventh seal and the seventh angel, and each one in between, go TOGETHER as an event. God IS the same yesterday, today and forever. Blessings, Taleb |

Hi Taleb I'm not real sure I follow your explanation about Revelation's not being all I thought. If I understand you correctly, you are saying that the seventh trumpet is exactly the same thing as the seventh vial etc. Is it possible to get a little more info on what you mean. I will check the seven trumpets side by side with the vials. But, ARE there seven seperate angels to go with the seven seals? TommyS |
