In the Hebrew context, the word "prediction" is often linked to divine revelation or a prophetic word given by God. The historical context here is the account of Joseph, whose dreams were a form of divine prediction. These dreams, given to him in his youth, foretold his rise to a position of power and influence. The phrase underscores the period of waiting and the faith required to trust in God's timing. It serves as a reminder that God's promises are sure, but they often require patience and perseverance. The fulfillment of God's word is inevitable, but it occurs in His perfect timing, not ours.<p><b>the word of the LORD</b><br />This phrase emphasizes the divine origin and authority of the message. In Hebrew, "word" (dabar) signifies not just spoken words but also the power and action behind them. The "word of the LORD" is living and active, as seen throughout Scripture, where God's word brings creation into being, delivers His people, and reveals His will. In the context of Joseph's life, the "word of the LORD" refers to the dreams and promises given to him, which were not mere human aspirations but divine declarations. This phrase reassures believers of the reliability and power of God's word, which stands firm and accomplishes what it sets out to do.<p><b>tested him</b><br />The Hebrew root for "tested" (tsaraph) conveys the idea of refining or proving, much like the process of purifying metals. This testing is not for God's benefit, as He is omniscient, but for the individual's growth and preparation. In Joseph's life, the trials he faced—betrayal, slavery, and imprisonment—were the means by which God refined his character and prepared him for leadership. This phrase highlights the purpose of trials in the believer's life: to strengthen faith, develop perseverance, and align one's character with God's purposes. It serves as an encouragement that while God's promises are sure, the journey to their fulfillment often involves a process of testing and refinement.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/psalms/105.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(19) <span class= "bld">Until the time that his word came</span>--<span class= "ital">i.e.</span>, until his (Joseph's) interpretation of the dreams was fulfilled (<a href="/genesis/41-12.htm" title="And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.">Genesis 41:12</a>).
