An ApplicationGE 45:3 was the climactic conclusion to GE 37:8. Clearly Joe had a strong relationship with God, which allowed him to be the perhaps the greatest example of MT 5:44 in the Bible. Hard to say how long it took, but somewhere in here the brothers would've realized holy wow, 22 years ago Joe really did have dreams from God, and God plans insanely (by human standards) far ahead. That wasn't limited to Joe, He does that with us too. And note, not everything good or bad happens to us for us...
