Our Creator gave the life of Joseph as a lesson about our purpose. The family of Jacob was tested by a trial when Joseph was given God’s vision of two types of men. He suffered while God revealed His desires for Joseph to reject the evil dream and be His servant and not an idol seated on His throne in the hearts of followers. Joseph suffered and he forgave. Joseph was faithful and God blessed him with His presence and anointed him with His wisdom. Pharaoh’s Dreams reveal how life is balanced between two events, lives built on obedience and blessings or rebellion (evil) and suffering (reaping). The Creator reveals the two kingdoms that rise, one is His and the other is for those who reject Him. The Prison Dreams reveal the character of the messiah that develops each kingdom, the Cupbearer Messiah is faithful to God’s Word, and the other is a lying, self-serving oppressive deceiver – a false prophet. Joseph labors for the kingdom of blessings, but the entire Islamic story ignores Scripture and seeks fulfillment in evil omens. Islam’s “Joseph” only deceives followers into a kingdom of rebellion (evil) and suffering (reaping). “Joseph” conspires with his god against everyone so he can rule in hearts in the place of God as a false messiah, an antichrist. The story is a long riddle about Muhammad and his followers set in the context of the family of Jacob. His story confirms the ancient framework of evil kingdoms built on lawless disregard to God’s Word.
