What does Genesis 41:25 mean?

Pharaoh has called Joseph before him in hopes that the Hebrew slave can interpret troubling dreams he has had (Genesis 41:14–16). Joseph has heard the dreams (Genesis 41:17–24) and now assures Pharaoh that both dreams mean the same thing. What's more, these dreams are from Joseph's God. They are intended to be a specific revelation to Pharaoh. God means to show Pharaoh exactly what He is about to do on the earth.

That the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob would send a revelation to the Pharaoh of Egypt is significant. As we will see in the coming chapters, that revelation is intended, in part, to spare and protect God's chosen people Israel. While the prediction is dire (Genesis 41:25–31), knowing in advance gives Egypt an opportunity to prepare. Joseph will include advice for preparations along with his interpretation (Genesis 41:32–36).
