Tribes of Israel #5 - Jacob's Blessing to His Sons
The fact that I start every post in this series with a disclaimer is ridiculous. We are simply studying God's Word (the Bible) and learning about the Tribes of Israel but because the topic is "Israel", I automatically get comments calling me "anti-Semitic". I am simply stating facts from the Bible - if you can't deal with Biblical facts then you'll have to take up your issues with God and not with me. Here is the disclaimer:
I have not, am not and will never condone, encourage or participate in any kind of hate or violence towards any person or group of people.
Today we are going to focus on "Jacob's Blessing to His Sons" from Joseph's line.
A "blessing" from father to son (or sons) in the Old Testament was similar to an inheritance today but it wasn't monetary or physical property. Rather, it was spiritual and even prophetic (as we will see in Jacob's/Israel's blessing to his sons)(remember - Jacob's name was changed to Israel):
The Old Testament is so important and unfortunately many Christians have never learned or studied these passages. That's why certain "labeling" in mainstream life is wrong and falsely causes offense.
