“At the end” of what? After years of false imprisonment, and two years after the cupbearer is released, Joseph is brought before the Pharaoh of Egypt. Why? Is it just to interpret dreams?

He is adopted by a nation, given a new name, until the set time of his revelation when he says, “I am Joseph.” How does this speak to our own seasons of waiting, of frustration, of pain or apparent failure? Give a listen!
