Joseph
Dreamers do not cease to dream in prison. Nor when they lead the world economy.
One of the most dramatic and spiritual characters, Joseph embodies the journey of our lives. A child with dreams of a perfect world leads to sibling rivalry. Sold into bondage by his own brothers, Joseph lands in an Egyptian prison when he repels the advances of his bosses. There, the dreamer interprets dreams and rises to pharaoh’s viceroy. Joseph innovates economic systems to ensure Egyptian sustainability. Joseph fathers two sons, Menasha and Ephraim. When the world is faced with devastating famine, a global recession, financially secure Egypt becomes the world’s wealthiest and most powerful state. When his family is forced to Egypt due to the famine, Joseph is reunited with his siblings and father. Joseph passes away, his bones destined to rise to the Promised Land with the exodus.
