Title: Dreamer
Contents
Joseph had a dream and told his brothers, and they hated him even more. And Joseph said to them, "I pray you, hear the dream I had. We were tying sheaves in the field, and my sheaf stood up, and your sheaf surrounded mine and bowed down." His brothers said to him, "Will you really be our king? Will you really rule over us?" And he hated him all the more because of his dream and his words. And Joseph had another dream and said to his brothers, "I had another dream, and the sun and the moon and eleven stars bowed down to me." When he told his father and his brothers his dream, his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is your dream? Will I, your mother, and your brothers really go and bow down to you?" His brothers were jealous, but his father kept the word. (Genesis 37:5-11)
We see in Joseph a fatalistic, passive disposition as opposed to Jacob's, let's face it. However, he lived a dream in all his destiny, and the dream was a dream tied to his faith in God. It's all you've done.
The new human image we are looking for today includes both the militant and active western Jacobian image, the passive, fatalistic, oriental and Josephistic human image, and a human image with God’s faith superimposed on it. Beyond Jacob's temperament, the mature Joseph-like temperament will eventually save this world.
