C. He usually warns His people so they can make preparations:

GEN 41:25. And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, The dream of Pharaoh is one: God hath shewed Pharaoh what he is about to do.

GEN 41:26. The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.

GEN 41:27. And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.

GEN 41:28. This is the thing which I have spoken unto Pharaoh: What God is about to do he sheweth unto Pharaoh.

GEN 41:29. Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt:

GEN 41:30. And there shall arise after them seven years of famine; and all the plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine shall consume the land;

GEN 41:31. And the plenty shall not be known in the land by reason of that famine following; for it shall be very grievous.

GEN 41:32. And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

GEN 41:33. Now therefore let Pharaoh look out a man discreet and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.

GEN 41:34. Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint officers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt in the seven plenteous years.

GEN 41:35. And let them gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities.

GEN 41:36. And that food shall be for store to the land against the seven years of famine, which shall be in the land of Egypt; that the land perish not through the famine.

GEN 41:47. And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

GEN 41:48. And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.

GEN 41:49. And Joseph gathered corn as the sand of the sea, very much, until he left numbering; for it was without number.
