Once Joseph began to rule, things turned out exactly as he had prophesied in the interpretation of the dreams. The seven years of plenty came and they stored up corn for the coming famine. Then the famine began and they had to open the storehouses and start selling corn, not only to the Egyptians, but also to the surrounding countries. During Joseph’s rule we see 9 more types of the Lord Jesus Christ to add to the 69 we have already found.
