(Consider how God spoke to St. Joseph about NOT divorcing Mary and receiving
Jesus, the fruit of the Holy Spirit as his own, and taking care of Jesus and
Mary, and again WARNING Joseph to take Jesus and Mary away from Bethlehem
because of King Herod, and other such dreams where God GUIDED Joseph.
DREAMS were a part of the REDEMPTION OF THE HUMAN RACE in this instance and
in many others........... Earlier, Joseph of the 'coat of many colors' ended
up in Egypt where by interpreting the dream of Pharaoh about the seven fat
years and seven lean years, Joseph was put in charge of stockpiling grain
and thereby SAVED numerous lives, including those of the Jewish people which
eventually begat our Saviors Jesus and Mary, and many saints.
