Introducing Jacob’s dysfunctional family: the father with favourites; the son with no tact; and the brothers of bitterness. Add to this messy and tense situation some provocative dreams and you have a recipe for disaster – a catalyst for catastrophe. But its all part of a plan. Things are not as they seem. God is at work. And he intervenes in such a way that the dreams become the very change-agent that makes them come true. The future comes to change the present. And in that reality, we see a glimpse of Jesus, the catalyst of the past and present and the promise of the future, who achieves God’s ultimate plan of salvation.
