Joseph's Dreams Get Shattered

This section opens up the first major chapter in Joseph's life. Up until this point at the age of 17, he has enjoyed the privileged status as Jacob's favorite son and the princely status of holding firstborn rank in the family over his brothers. He has been given Divine Revelation concerning his future through two dreams. But what is about to unfold looks more like a nightmare in contrast to his previous happy dreams. Joseph was about to have his life catapulted into a searing trial at the hands of his bitter brothers. A trial that appeared from the human standpoint to shatter any hope of the Divine Dreams coming true. But over it all, Joseph's Sovereign, all powerful God was going to overrule the evil intentions of men and fulfill His will for Joseph's life.
