Joseph, the son of Jacob, was favored by his father but hated by his brothers. Out of jealousy, they sold him into slavery (Genesis 37:28). He was taken to Egypt and became a servant in the house of Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh. Though Joseph served righteously, Potiphar’s wife falsely accused him of wrongdoing, and he was cast into prison (Genesis 39:20). Yet even in prison, “the Lord was with Joseph” (Genesis 39:21), and he found favor in the eyes of the prison keeper. While imprisoned, he interpreted the dreams of Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker (Genesis 40), foretelling that one would be restored and the other executed — and it happened exactly as he said. Two years later, when Pharaoh had troubling dreams no one could interpret, the cupbearer remembered Joseph (Genesis 41:9–14). Brought before Pharaoh, Joseph declared that interpretation belonged to God (Genesis 41:16), and he revealed that Pharaoh’s dreams foretold seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh, seeing that the Spirit of God was with Joseph, appointed him second over all Egypt (Genesis 41:38–41). In God’s perfect plan, Joseph was raised from the pit to the palace to preserve life — including the very family that once betrayed him.

Paul the Apostle, formerly known as Saul of Tarsus, was a zealous Pharisee who initially persecuted Christians, believing he was serving God (Acts 8:3; Philippians 3:5-6).

His life is a powerful testimony of God’s grace and transformation.

Elijah challenged the prophets of Baal to prove who was the true God. On Mount Carmel, Elijah said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal is God, follow him” (1 Kings 18:21). The prophets of Baal called on their god from morning till noon, but nothing happened (1 Kings 18:26-29). Then Elijah repaired the altar of the Lord, drenched the offering with water, and prayed, “Lord, answer me, so these people will know that You, Lord, are God” (1 Kings 18:36-37). Fire from the Lord fell and consumed the sacrifice, the wood, the stones, and even the water in the trench (1 Kings 18:38).

In Thor: Love and Thunder, the Olympian gods make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debut during a pivotal sequence set in Omnipotence City—a grand, celestial gathering place for deities from across the cosmos. Thor, accompanied by Valkyrie, Korg, and Jane Foster (now the Mighty Thor), travels there to seek aid against Gorr the God Butcher. They appeal to Zeus, portrayed flamboyantly by Russell Crowe, who presides over the assembly with an eccentric and indulgent demeanor. However, Zeus dismisses their concerns, prioritizing secrecy and the gods' safety over confronting Gorr. This leads to a confrontation where Zeus uses his Thunderbolt to destroy Korg's body, leaving only his face intact. Enraged, Thor retaliates by hurling the Thunderbolt back at Zeus, impaling him in the chest. The group then seizes the Thunderbolt and escapes to confront Gorr in the Shadow Realm.

When God called Moses to deliver the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, He appeared to him through a burning bush, declaring, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in Egypt... and I am come down to deliver them” (Exodus 3:7–8, KJV). Though Moses initially protested, saying, “Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11), God assured him, “Certainly I will be with thee” (Exodus 3:12). Obedient to God's command, Moses returned to Egypt and boldly declared to Pharaoh, “Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Let my people go” (Exodus 5:1). Despite Pharaoh’s hardened heart, Moses, empowered by God, unleashed signs and plagues upon Egypt as a testament to divine power and justice. Through it all, he stood as God's chosen leader, fulfilling the promise, “I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians... and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm” (Exodus 6:6).

The end of days, as revealed in the book of Revelation, unfolds with divine precision and terrifying majesty.

Following these judgments, seven angels are given seven trumpets (Revelation 8:2). Each trumpet unleashes a divine plague: the first brings hail and fire mixed with blood (Revelation 8:7), the second casts a burning mountain into the sea (v.8), the third causes a great star, Wormwood, to poison rivers (v.10–11), the fourth darkens the sun, moon, and stars (v.12), the fifth unleashes demonic locusts from the Abyss (Revelation 9:1–11), the sixth releases four angels to kill a third of mankind (v.13–19), and the seventh trumpet heralds the final judgment and the establishment of God's eternal kingdom (Revelation 11:15). Throughout, angelic beings ride forth in service of God's justice, and each trumpet sounds a warning of the wrath to come and the urgency to repent, revealing God's ultimate plan to judge evil and redeem creation.
