And we dreamed a dream in one night, I and he; we dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.

ADDITIONAL REFLECTION
Key Verse (Joel): Joel 2:25 — “And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten.”
Key Verse (Genesis): Genesis 41:14 — “Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon.”
The Connection: Two Kinds of Restoration
| Joel 2 | Genesis 41 |
|---|---|
| Restoration of years lost to locusts | Restoration of years lost to a dungeon |
| Eating in plenty and satisfaction | From prison to palace |
| Never be ashamed | Shaved and changed raiment |
| Know the Lord is in your midst | Joseph stood before Pharaoh |
Joseph’s Journey from Dungeon to Palace:
| Stage | Scripture | Condition |
|---|---|---|
| Forgotten | Genesis 40:23 | Two years in prison |
| Remembrance | Genesis 41:9 | Butler remembered his faults |
| Summons | Genesis 41:14 | Sent and called hastily |
| Preparation | Genesis 41:14 | Shaved himself, changed raiment |
| Presentation | Genesis 41:14 | Came in unto Pharaoh |
The Butler’s Confession (Genesis 41:9):
-
“I do remember my faults this day.”
-
He did not say “I remember Joseph” — he said “I remember my faults.”
-
Sometimes your restoration comes when someone else remembers their failure, not your worth.
-
God used the butler’s guilt to unlock Joseph’s destiny.
The Word “Hastily” (Genesis 41:14):
-
Joseph was not brought out slowly or gradually.
-
He was brought out hastily — suddenly, urgently, without delay.
-
When God’s time comes, the dungeon door opens immediately.
The Shaving and Changing of Raiment:
-
Shaving = removing the marks of captivity (prisoners in Egypt had long hair and beards).
-
Changing raiment = leaving behind the identity of a prisoner.
-
You cannot stand before Pharaoh in prison clothes.
Question for the Day: Are you still in a dungeon season? Do not despair. The butler is about to remember. The call is coming hastily. Get ready to shave off the marks of captivity and change your raiment.
