In this episode, we explore the layered narrative of Genesis 40, where Joseph, now imprisoned, becomes the interpreter of dreams for two of Pharaoh’s fallen officials: the cupbearer and the baker. Drawing from Jewish midrash, Egyptian dream manuals, and the symbolic language of wine and bread, we uncover how their visions not only signal courtly intrigue but foreshadow deeper gospel truths.

What does a fly in the wine and a stone in the bread say about purity, judgment, and priestly failure? Why does Joseph attribute interpretation to God amidst a culture obsessed with dream rituals? And how does this moment—in a prison under Potiphar’s house—prefigure the Passion of Christ, the Lord’s Supper, and the cross?

Join us as we trace the prophetic arc from vine to resurrection, from bread to curse, from forgotten servant to exalted Son. In the house of death, Joseph becomes a vessel of divine justice—and a type of the One who would one day be hanged on a tree for the salvation of the world.
