  Aug 17, 20261h 9m

  In episode fifty-one, Dr. Firestone continues his dream interpretation series by turning from Old Testament dreams to the New Testament. He explores how Matthew serves as a dream-driven counterpart to Genesis and traces the striking parallels between Joseph of Egypt and Joseph of Nazareth—two righteous sons of Jacob whose lives are shaped by divine dreams and journeys involving Egypt. Along the way, Dr. Firestone contrasts Joseph the interpreter with Joseph the silent actor and previews the role of dreams and visions in Acts, Paul’s letters, and Revelation.

  Dreams in the Old Testament: Divine Communication

  Aug 10, 20261h 20m

  In episode fifty, Dr. Firestone continues his dream interpretation series by turning from modern psychological theories to the biblical worldview of dreams. Drawing on Seymour Rossell’s Bible Dreams, he explores how the Old Testament presents dreams as a meeting place between the natural and supernatural—and as a possible means of divine communication. Along the way, he challenges the modern sacred-secular divide and asks whether dreams might reveal more than the workings of the individual mind.
