This post of 23/02/24 "A dream doubled" Ge.41:25-32 may help reader understand the deep sleep of Adam
"And Joseph said unto Pharaoh, "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."(v.32)
This chapter begins with a clue. "And it came to pass at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and, behold, he stood by the river." So we are considering the third year, where Three is a command number for the Son. Compare with this vision, "In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar."(Dan.8:1)
A day is appointed for the Son and the everlasting covenant is not merely for nations that only speak of the world made to appear. It covers also the world unseen which is eternal.(He.11:3;2 Co.4:18). Both worlds of the flesh and of the Spirit are covered under dreams. Fools take exclusively to here and now because faith (as God has revealed) holds no meaning to them.
Sleep and awake, night and day are doubled to indicate each of the pair either deserving everlasting contempt or to everlasting life. "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt./And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
What does it tell you? Day as Joseph figures from Pharaoh's dreams is about Jesus Christ by whom all things consist. "All things were created by him, and for him./ And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."(Col.1:16-17)/ What God revealed to Pharaoh are identical despite the dreams indicated seven fat kine and seven lean kine, in one; and seven good ears and seven empty ears. The seven is a tag that 'it is established by God' and shall surely come to pass,
The dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice because God is the Sovereign Lord and Pharaoh is here cast as a double for him."(selected)
