Bibledoorajar Emphasizes The Matter at Hand

Joseph told Pharoah that his dream was repeated twice because the matter was at hand. God was going to move swiftly to accomplish it. Therefore it would behoove Pharoah to proceed. There was no time to waste. Pharoah should proceed quickly to find a wise and discerning man who would prepare for a severe time of drought by taking larger amounts of grain from every farmer and storing it for future use. So important was this step that Joseph recommended that the collection of grain be gathered as a levy against the farmers. This plan was accepted and the slave and prisoner was named viceroy of the land, an exception to the law of Egypt. But this exception was made because Pharoah saw the wisdom in moving quickly. Under Joseph, magistrates established royal granaries in every city so that grain would not have to be transported and held in only one location. This meant that large portions of the winnowed and sifted grain would be safely held for future use.

Years later, another wise and discerning man named John the Baptist came on the scene in the Holy Land. He spoke to the Pharisees and Sadducees and told them how they must proceed and advised them to move quickly. They had no time to waste.

"The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare ye the way of the Lord. And this same John....
saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees come to his baptism. He said to them, O generation of vipers who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore produce fruits worthy for repentance. And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham as our father for I say unto you that God is able to from these stones raise up children to Abraham. And now the axe is laid unto the root of the trees, therefore everything that produces not good fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. I indeed baptize with water unto repentance, but He that comes after me is mightier than I whose shoes I am not adequate to bear. He shall baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Whose winnowing fan is in his hand and he will throughly purge His threshing floor and gather his wheat grain into the granary, but He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire."
                                                                                                   Quoted from Matthew 3

The mightier Magnificent Servant has all knowing power to carry out the desires of His Father. Even now, He is at work storing His grain in His church. Pharoah heard his dream twice for emphasis. God has now spoken twice through both His Old and New Testament. Emphasis on separating the chaff (evil) from the wheat (those he loves) has been put in place. Have you submitted to the winnowing process? Life's assurances are greater that way.
