The Seven Years of Great Plenty
“That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt. There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land, and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous. The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.” (Genesis 41:28-32 WEB)
A while back, the Holy Spirit opened my understanding to the passage above. Pharaoh’s dream has an end-times application.
The Tribulation will be the final “week” (seven years period) that completes Daniel’s seventy weeks prophecy.
The first half of the seven years is the rise of the Antichrist whereby he gains the trust of Israel through pretense and cunning. It will seem like a time of peace.
The second half of the seven years is the tyranny of the Antichrist and he will betray Israel and show his true colors—that he is actually intending to destroy Israel and the saints (all who confess Jesus as their Lord).
It will be the worst time of anti-Semitism and persecution of Christians—it will be difficult to be a believer and avoid taking the Mark of the Beast.
“After the sixty-two weeks the Anointed One shall be cut off, and shall have nothing: and the people of the prince who shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and its end shall be with a flood, and even to the end shall be war; desolations are determined. He shall make a firm covenant with many for one week: and in the middle of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and on the wing of abominations shall come one who makes desolate; and even to the full end, and that determined, shall wrath be poured out on the desolate.” (Daniel 9:26-27 WEB)
The seven years of grievous famine in Pharaoh’s dream corresponds to the seven years of Tribulation.
This means that the seven years of great plenty right before the famine begins represents the years leading up to the Rapture of the church.
“Because you kept my command to endure, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, which is to come on the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth.” (Revelation 3:10 WEB)
We won’t be here for the Tribulation (the hour of testing for the whole world).
Every born-again believer will be in Heaven before the Tribulation begins, safe in our Abba Father’s house and warmly wrapped in Jesus’ embrace.
In the seven years leading up the Rapture, we are going to experience an unprecedented level of blessings and harvest of souls for God’s kingdom like never before.
The church of Jesus Christ will shine so brightly and the world will be drawn to its light.
It’s going to be huge and it’s like a final tidal wave of salvation that plucks souls out of the jaws of Hell, before the earth goes through the worst suffering it will ever experience.
Like how God affirmed to Pharaoh that He would shortly bring the dream to pass, I believe we are close to the time of Jesus’ return as well! Closer than we think!
What is the key to living worthily in these end part of the end times?
“He who testifies these things says, “Yes, I come quickly.” Amen! Yes, come, Lord Jesus. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the saints. Amen.” (Revelation 22:20-21 WEB)
God’s priority is undoubtedly the salvation of souls. It pains His heart to see so many souls doomed to hell every day.
If we sincerely want to prioritize His top priority and join Him in this worthy work, He will surely provide the means and the accompanying signs and wonders to make our evangelism effective. You won’t be going alone—Heaven is on your side.
Live like Jesus is coming back today, and rely on His Grace for all your needs. In these last days, we need both urgency and dependency.
With the combination of the boldly preached Gospel and God’s confirming miracles, we will see a huge end-times harvest of souls for God’s Kingdom!
This ministry’s mission is to plant seeds of salvation in the lost, edify the body of Christ and equip them with Gospel truths so they can reign in life and be effective in evangelism!
