Forging a Mold
We begin our study of God the Socialist with the example that he gave us in Jacob’s son, Joseph: let us set the authority for the example. First, please realize that natural phenomena are the sole territory of the LORD, so far; and, especially, in the day of Joseph. To give the example of Joseph its authority, the LORD set a natural phenomenon in the path of Joseph, in the kingdom of Pharaoh, in the land of Egypt. (The phenomenon was introduced as a part of a prophetic gift to Pharaoh.)
Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it. And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, In my dream, behold, I stood upon the bank of the river: And, behold, there came up out of the river seven kine, fatfleshed and well favoured; and they fed in a meadow: And, behold, seven other kine came up after them, poor and very ill favoured and leanfleshed, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for badness: And the lean and the ill favoured kine did eat up the first seven fat kine: And when they had eaten them up, it could not be known that they had eaten them; but they were still ill favoured, as at the beginning.
So I awoke.
And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven ears came up in one stalk, full and good: And, behold, seven ears, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them: And the thin ears devoured the seven good ears:
and I told this unto the magicians; but there was none that could declare it to me.
(Genesis 41:14-24)
