The INTRIGUING verse

 

Deuteronomy 33:12

King James Version

12 And of Benjamin he said, 

The beloved of the Lord shall dwell in safety by him; 

and the Lord shall cover him all the day long, 

and he shall dwell between his shoulders.

The intriguing verse above is a blessing given by Moses to the tribe of Benjamin.

Which simply means:

-- The tribe of Benjamin is the beloved of the Lord".

-- They will "dwell in safety by him".

-- The Lord will "cover" them "all the day long".

-- They shall "dwell between" the Lord's shoulders.

Such love from the LORD!

Such protection!

Such safety!

GOD will protect the tribe of Benjamin.

With regards to "he shall dwell between his shoulders", remember the parable given by JESUS?

Luke 15:4-6

King James Version

4 What man of you, 

having an hundred sheep, 

if he lose one of them, 

doth not leave the ninety and nine in the wilderness, 

and go after that which is lost, 

until he find it?

5 And when he hath found it, 

he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing.

6 And when he cometh home, 

he calleth together his friends and neighbours, 

saying unto them, 

Rejoice with me; 

for I have found my sheep 

which was lost.

The tribe of Benjamin is one of the lost sheep.

Consider the "tribe's folly", which greatly reduced their number.

But now, the tribe will dwell safely by the LORD.

They shall dwell safely "between His shoulders".

What an honor!

Ten days ago, SPIRIT led me to that WOLF dream.

Which led me to the tribe of BENJAMIN.

Whose destiny has been preordained.

There is a deep bond between the tribes of Judah and Benjamin.

The BIBLE really has much to teach us.

But who heeds GOD's call?

Who shall hear the trumpet?

Who shall dwell in GOD's holy hill?

I'm all eyes, and ears.

Thus, these blogs.

WOLF and LAMB

 

Isaiah 11:9

King James Version

9 They shall not hurt nor destroy 

in all my holy mountain: 

for the earth shall be full 

of the knowledge of the Lord, 

as the waters cover the sea.

What do wolves and lambs have to do with the end times?

What do these have to do with the tribe of Benjamin?

Who do wolves and lambs represent in Scripture?

Can WOLVES and LAMBS co-exist?

Literally, one day.

Scripture says so.

Isaiah 11:6

King James Version

6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, 

and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; 

and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; 

and a little child shall lead them.

Isaiah 65:25

King James Version

25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, 

and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: 

and dust shall be the serpent's meat. 

They shall not hurt nor destroy 

in all my holy mountain, 

saith the Lord.

Spiritually, too.

What does the Bible say about the "wolf"?

Who does it refer to?

This, from a prophecy Jacob gave his sons.

They represent the 12 tribes of Israel.

One of whom was Benjamin -- the "wolf":

Genesis 49:27

King James Version

27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: 

in the morning he shall devour the prey, 

and at night he shall divide the spoil.

One personality that stands out is apostle Paul.

Of the tribe of Benjamin:

Romans 11:1

King James Version

11 I say then, 

Hath God cast away his people? 

God forbid. 

For I also am an Israelite, 

of the seed of Abraham, 

of the tribe of Benjamin.

Philippians 3:5

King James Version

5 Circumcised the eighth day, 

of the stock of Israel, 

of the tribe of Benjamin, 

an Hebrew of the Hebrews; 

as touching the law, a Pharisee;

What does the Bible say about the "lamb"?

JESUS is that LAMB.

John the Baptist prepared the way for the LORD.

He also acknowledged JESUS, as SON of GOD:

John 1:29

King James Version

29 The next day John seeth Jesus 

coming unto him, 

and saith, 

Behold the Lamb of God, 

which taketh away the sin of the world.

John 1:34-37

King James Version

34 And I saw, and bare record 

that this is the Son of God.

35 Again the next day after John stood, 

and two of his disciples;

36 And looking upon Jesus as he walked, 

he saith, 

Behold the Lamb of God!

37 And the two disciples heard him speak, 

and they followed Jesus.

Isaiah prophesied about JESUS:

Isaiah 53:7

King James Version

7 He was oppressed, 

and he was afflicted, 

yet he opened not his mouth: 

he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 

and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, 

so he openeth not his mouth.

As "lamb", JESUS was that TRESPASS OFFERING.

The Book of Revelation spoke of JESUS:

Revelation 5:11-14

King James Version

11 And I beheld, 

and I heard the voice of many angels round about 

the throne and the beasts and the elders: 

and the number of them was 

ten thousand times ten thousand, 

and thousands of thousands;

12 Saying with a loud voice, 

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, 

and riches, and wisdom, and strength, 

and honour, and glory, and blessing.

13 And every creature which is in heaven, 

and on the earth, 

and under the earth, 

and such as are in the sea, 

and all that are in them, 

heard I saying, 

Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, 

be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, 

and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

14 And the four beasts said, Amen. 

And the four and twenty elders 

fell down and worshipped him 

that liveth for ever and ever.

Revelation 6:1

King James Version

6 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, 

and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, 

one of the four beasts saying, 

Come and see.

Revelation 22:1-5

King James Version

22 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, 

clear as crystal, 

proceeding out of the throne of God 

and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, 

and on either side of the river, 

was there the tree of life, 

which bare twelve manner of fruits, 

and yielded her fruit every month: 

and the leaves of the tree were 

for the healing of the nations.

3 And there shall be no more curse: 

but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; 

and his servants shall serve him:

4 And they shall see his face; 

and his name shall be in their foreheads.

5 And there shall be no night there; 

and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; 

for the Lord God giveth them light:

 and they shall reign for ever and ever.

PEACE is only POSSIBLE through JESUS.

JESUS is PRINCE of PEACE.

That was prophesied.

Isaiah 9:6

King James Version

6 For unto us a child is born, 

unto us a son is given: 

and the government shall be upon his shoulder: 

and his name shall be called Wonderful, 

Counsellor, 

The mighty God, 

The everlasting Father, 

The Prince of Peace.

While the "wolf" represents ferocity, the "lamb" represents docility.

Apostle Paul was from the tribe of BENJAMIN, and had wolf-like characteristics in his ministry, in His total devotion to the WORD.

JESUS was from the tribe of JUDAH, and had lamb-like characteristics in His ministry, in His devotion to GOD, and people He wanted saved.

Yes, indeed, the wolf and lamb can co-exist.

If we have JESUS in our heart.

If we have devotion like Paul's.

With GOD's SPIRIT in us.

As born again, we shall be saved.

From the other type of wolf.

Matthew 7:15

King James Version

15 Beware of false prophets, 

which come to you in sheep's clothing, 

but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

FOURTH and TWELFTH

 

Proverbs 23:15

King James Version

15 My son, 

if thine heart be wise, 

my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

What do I mean by fourth, and twelfth?

What is their significance?

This being third in the series, we refer to two tribes in alliance.

JUDAH and BENJAMIN.

Judah is Jacob's fourth son.

Benjamin is Jacob's twelfth son.

SPIRIT led me to look into the significance of those numbers.

And here's what "Keys to Scripture Numerics" reveals --

The number FOUR:

"CREATION...WORLD"

The number TWELVE:

"GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION"

To understand further, we look into the main personalities of each tribe:

The tribe of Judah -- JESUS.

Representing "CREATION...WORLD":

Colossians 1:16-17

King James Version

16 For by him were all things created, 

that are in heaven, 

and that are in earth, 

visible and invisible, 

whether they be thrones, 

or dominions, 

or principalities, 

or powers: 

all things were created by him, 

and for him:

17 And he is before all things, 

and by him all things consist.

The tribe of Benjamin -- Paul.

Representing "GOVERNMENTAL PERFECTION":

Romans 13:1-7

King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. 

For there is no power but of God: 

the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, 

resisteth the ordinance of God: 

and they that resist 

shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, 

but to the evil. 

Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? 

do that which is good, 

and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. 

But if thou do that which is evil, 

be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: 

for he is the minister of God, 

a revenger to execute wrath upon him 

that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, 

not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: 

for they are God's ministers,

 attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: 

tribute to whom tribute is due; 

custom to whom custom; 

fear to whom fear; 

honour to whom honour.

JESUS created everything.

Paul taught governance, through his epistles.

Are you beginning to see it yet?

Why GOD made JUDAH and BENJAMIN group together.

1 Kings 12:21

King James Version

21 And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, 

he assembled all the house of Judah, 

with the tribe of Benjamin, 

an hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, 

which were warriors, 

to fight against the house of Israel, 

to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam 

the son of Solomon.

But, of course, that war was not to be.

As always, GOD has a purpose.

He is particular about peace, and order:

1 Corinthians 14:33

King James Version

33 For God is not the author of confusion, 

but of peace, 

as in all churches of the saints.

I imagine an astounding combination.

Especially for these end times.

JESUS from the tribe of Judah.

Paul from the tribe of Benjamin.

Both are particular about obeying GOD's law, will, and commands.

Both are particular about holiness, obedience, and perfection.

Something we all need in these last days.

Thanks to the "wolf" dream four days ago.

It made me look into the tribe of Benjamin.

Which opened many avenues for thought, and research.

So far, this is our third article in the "JUDAH and BENJAMIN" series.

If you're not born again yet, you can't appreciate SPIRIT.

Neither can you appreciate the LORD's ways.

The Bible holds TONS of TREASURES.

Only by being born again can you be taught rightfully.

And understand Scripture beautifully.

It's something I truly cherish.

This fellowship with SPIRIT.

JACOB blesses BENJAMIN

 

Genesis 49:1-2

King James Version

49 And Jacob called unto his sons,

 and said, 

Gather yourselves together, 

that I may tell you that which shall befall you 

in the last days.

2 Gather yourselves together, 

and hear, 

ye sons of Jacob; 

and hearken unto Israel your father.

Jacob, renamed "Israel" by GOD, blesses his sons.

He tells them of what shall "befall" them in the "last days".

Is that why GOD made me dream of the "wolf" yesterday?

Signifying the urgency of the times?

That we are truly in the last days now?

That got me thinking right as I write this today.

But that's how I write with SPIRIT.

He makes me take things, one step at a time.

He knows how I think.

He knows I will explore His clues, and leads.

Making sure I don't miss a thing.

Knowing there's a "discovery" somewhere.

Which I can't wait to tell you.

After I have come to know it first.

Through Scripture.

Yesterday, He led me to the tribe of Benjamin.

And to the blessing they received from Jacob.

It's only today I realized, the blessing was for the "last days".

Of what will "befall" his 12 sons and their tribes.

Including Benjamin:

Genesis 49:27

King James Version

27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: 

in the morning he shall devour the prey, 

and at night he shall divide the spoil.

Yesterday, we did a "word study" on that verse.

Jacob/Israel gave his last instructions to all 12 tribes:

Genesis 49:29

King James Version

29 And he charged them, and said unto them, 

I am to be gathered unto my people: 

bury me with my fathers in the cave 

that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

After which:

Genesis 49:33

King James Version

33 And when Jacob had made an end 

of commanding his sons, 

he gathered up his feet into the bed, 

and yielded up the ghost, 

and was gathered unto his people.

Thus ends Jacob's saga.

But his children live on.

All 12 tribes of Israel.

Benjamin being one.

The next post tells us of Moses' blessing.

The WOLF dream

 

Genesis 49:27

King James Version

27 Benjamin shall ravin as a wolf: 

in the morning he shall devour the prey, 

and at night he shall divide the spoil.

It all started with a dream this morning.

I woke up remembering some details.

Mainly of me wearing a black shirt, with a wolf's face on it.

I entered a quiet wooden-floored cafe.

THREE young people were waiting for me.

A young fellow whose name I forgot, who sat to my left.

But even in the dream, his name was almost unpronounceable.

The other two people were a boy, and a girl, of his age.

We sat around the round, wooden table, relaxed.

At first, upon waking up, I was wondering why I dreamt of a "wolf".

I knew its usual connotation in the Bible.

Except when I searched, SPIRIT led me to the verse above.

Which led me to dig deeper.

That's what I'll share here.

About the tribe of Benjamin.

Its wolf symbolism, and implications.

Its connection with Bible prophecy.

Join me on a Scripture adventure!

I just realized we're on our 105th blog.

SPIRIT's really keeping me informed.

And warning all of us.

Especially of the last days.

I feel TONS of TREASURES here.

Which I aim to unearth.

Through SPIRIT, and Scripture.
