The blessing of Jacob

in #israellast year

At the end of his life Jacob (also called Israel), son of Isaac, son of Abraham blessed his children

‘And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days: “Gather together and hear, you sons of Jacob, And listen to Israel your father.’
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭49‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/gen.49.1-2.NKJV

He blessed his son Judah, basically the only tribe that remains from the original 12 tribes/sons of Jacob with the following words

‘Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he lies down as a lion; And as a lion, who shall rouse him? The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.’
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭49‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/gen.49.9-10.NKJV

As you might know, the first name of prime minister Netanyahu is Benjamin. Benjamin was also one of the sons and one of the 12 tribes. His blessing was:

‘“Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; In the morning he shall devour the prey, And at night he shall divide the spoil.”’
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭49‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/114/gen.49.27.NKJV

Looking at the current events in Israël I think it is not a coincidence that Benjamin Netanyahu is prime minister of Israel.

Let me know in the comments what you think about these things.
