The Plan

Prophecy Thread of Week 17

Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.

JOSEPH'S FAMILY BOWS TO HIM

God spoke some prophecies directly to the heart of the individual; Joseph had prophetic dreams given to him at night. The dream of his family bowing down to him was fulfilled, not just once, but four times. Today, God speaks to individuals by word (The bread) or by picture (The lamp) just as He did during biblical times.
