THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL, THEN AND NOW. AND TO COME!

 

Before I start my writing, I must say I take the bible (Talmud) literal in the meanings and sayings. As 2 Timothy 3:16 says All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. INSPIRATION :FAUSSET'S BIBLE DICTIONARY SAYS The supernatural action of the Holy Spirit on the mind of the sacred writers whereby the Scriptures were not merely their own but the word of God. Scripture not merely contains but is the Word of God.

 

LAST DAYS, TIME OF THE END MEANINGS!

 

The expression "The Last Days" (ACHARITH HAYYAMIM) have always been taken by the Rabbis as the Messianic era. When Messiah returns to earth. It is equivalent to the (eth Kets) end time of Daniel 12:4,9 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro (WORLD TRAVEL), and knowledge shall be increased (COMPUTERS). And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. The en exatais hemerais of the Apostle. Delitzsch defines it as " Denoting not the future course of history that forms the present, but the future which forms the close of history. Isaiah 2:2,4 Says And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. This verse will be fulfilled at the end of the future 7 year period of tribulation on earth.

 

THE 12 TRIBES, THE BEGINNING

 

Jacob = Suplanter, or holding the heel. Esau's twin brother, but second in point of priority.  Son of Isaac, then 60 years old, and Rebekah.

Genesis 25:24-28 And when her (Rebekah) days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: And Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them. And the boys grew: and Esau was a cunning hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a plain man, dwelling in tents. And Isaac loved Esau, because he did eat of his venison: but Rebekah loved Jacob.

 

Laban = WHITE. Father of Leah and Rachel Genesis 29:5-6,16 And he said unto them, know ye Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, we know him. And he said unto them, Is he well? And they said, He is well: and, behold, Rachel his daughter cometh with the sheep. And Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel

 

Children born to Leah, Oldest Daughter ( 1st wife ) 1-Reuben Genesis 29:32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the Lord hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me. 2-Simeon Genesis 29:33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the Lord hath heard that I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon. 3-Levi Genesis 29:34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi. 4-Judah Genesis 29:35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the Lord: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing. 9-(5) Issachar Genesis 30:17-18 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son. And leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: And she called his name Issachar. 10-(6) Zebulun Genesis 30:19-20 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son. And leah said, God hath endured me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun. Then she has a Girl Dinah Genesis 30:21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

 

Children born to Bilhah (The Maid of Rachel). 5-Dan Genesis 30:3-6 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her. And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her. And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son. And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan. 6-Naphtali Genesis 30:7-8 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son. And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister (Leah), and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

 

Children born to Zilpah (The Maid of Leah). 7-Gad Genesis 30:9-11 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife. And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son. And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad. 8-Asher Genesis 30:12-13 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacon a second son. And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

 

Children born to Rachael Youngest Daughter ( 2nd Wife ).  11-(1) Joseph Genesis 30:22-24 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb. And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach: And she called his name Joseph; and said, The Lord shall add to me another son. 12-(2) Ben-oni Jacob called him Benjamin The only one born in Palestine. Genesis 35:16-19 And they journeyed from Beth-el; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing (for she died) that she called his name Ben-oni: but his father called him Benjamin. And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

 

So the first 4 Children were born to Leah (The First Wife), The next 2 Children were born to Bilhah (Rachel's Maid). The next 2 Children were born to Zilpah (Leah's Maid). Then there was an arguement between Leah and Rachel Genesis 30:14-16 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes. And she said unto her, is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? And wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes. And Jacob come out of the field in the evening, and leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night. Then Leah has 2 more Children. This makes the total 10 before Rachel finally has a Child. Rachel has child #11. After this, In Genesis 30:25-26 Jacob leaves his living quarters and moves on. And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country. Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.

Could Jacob some how have known after the 11TH child to move on? Could this be some kind of Prophesy? Since there were 12 tribes and not just 11. Why would God make him move on after only 11 sons and not the 12TH son? Then some time later when Jacob got to palestine, Rachel had the 12th and final Child and her Second son. To conclude the 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL. 

 

Now I find something very interesting why Rachel's last child born is the 1ST to return to Israel today as well as Judahs and Levites.

 

THE BLESSINGS FROM MOSES. DEUTERONOMY 33

 

And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; everyone shall recieve of thy words. Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. And he was king in Jeshurun, When the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. 33:1-5

 

Let REUBEN live, and not die; and let not his men be few. 33:6

 

And this is the blessing of JUDAH: and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. 33:7

 

And of LEVI he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethern, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. They shall teach Jacob(Israel) thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. Bless, Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again. 33:8-11

 

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. 33:12

 

And of JOSEPH he said, Blessed of the Lord be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon. And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills. And for the precious things of the earth and fullness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessings come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethern. His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 33:13-17

 

And of ZEBULUN he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, ISSACHAR, in thy tents.They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. 33:18-19

 

And of GAD he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwells as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the Lord, and his judgments with Israel. 33:20-21

 

And of DAN he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. 33:22

 

And of NAPHTALI he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the Lord: possess thou the west and the south. 33:23

 

And of ASHER he said, let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethern, and let him dip his foot in oil. Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. There is not like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down due. Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. 

 

I notice SIMEON has no blessing. Nothing said about it at all. Unless its in here somewhere what I did not see. 

 

ISRAELS FUTURE LAND SHOWN TO MOSES. Deuteronomy 34

 

Just before Moses dies, God lets him see the area Israel will have in the future. Deuteronomy 34:1-4 And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, And the south, and the plain of the Valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. And the Lord said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.

 

The land ISRAEL WILL HAVE (no compromises)  IN THE FUTURE IS:  EGYPT, EAST OF THE NILE RIVER. SAUDIA-ARABIA, ISRAEL, JORDAN, SYRIA, LEBANON, THE SOUTHERN PART OF TURKEY AND THE WESTERN HALF OF IRAQ, WEST OF THE EUPHRATES RIVER. Sure Israel will compromise land for peace for 7 years, but somehow Israel will capture all the areas I mentioned above by the end of the 7 year tribulation in the future. Because God said Israel will definately have this land. IT WILL HAPPEN!

 

JACOBS (ISRAELS) FUTURE FOR THE 12 TRIBES

IN THE LATTER DAYS OR END TIMES.   GENESIS 49

 

And Jacob called unto his sons, andsaid, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the last days. Gather yourselves together, and hear, ye sons of Jacob; and hearken unto Israel your father. 49:1-2

 

REUBEN, Thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power: Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defileth thou it: he went up to my couch. 49:3-4

 

SIMEON AND LEVI are bretheren; instuments of cruelty are in their habitations. O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honour, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their selfwill they digged down a wall. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.  49:5-7

 

JUDAH, thou art he whom thy brethern shall praise: they hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee. Judah is a lionswhelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, untill shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes: His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk. 49:8-12

 

ZEBULUN shall dwell at the heaven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon. 49:13

 

ISSACHAR is a strong ass couching down between two burdens: And he saw  that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a sevant unto tribute. 49:14-15

 

DAN shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel. Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder in the path, that biteth the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall backward. I have waited for thy salvation, O Lord. 49:16-18

 

GAD, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last. 49:19

 

Out of ASHER his bread shall be fat, and he shall yield royal dainties. 49:20

 

NAPHTALI is his hind let loose: he giveth goodly words. 49:21

 

JOSEPH is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the house of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethern. 49:22-26

 

BENJAMIN shall ravin as a wolf: in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil. 49:27

 

49:28-33 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them. 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, In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Caanan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possesion of a buryingplace. There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I baried Leah. The purchase of the field and of the cave that is therein was from the children of Heth. And when Jacob had made an end of commanding his sons, he gathered up his feet into the bed, and yielded up the ghost (Spirit), and was gathered unto his people.

 

NOW THE INVESTIGATION OF WERE ARE THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL TODAY, THAT WILL DEFINATELY BE IN ISRAEL FOR THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION OR 7 YEAR PEACE TREATY IN THE NEAR , NOT DISTANT FUTURE.

 

In Revelation 7 The twelve tribes will be ministering to the world, during the seven year tribulation period. Revelation 7:1-8. And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea. Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads. And I heard the number of them which were sealed: and there were sealed an hundred and forty and four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel.

 

Of the tribe of JUDA (JUDAH) were sealed twelve thousand. 7:5

 

Of the tribe of REUBEN were sealed twelve thousand. 7:5

 

Of the tribe of GAD were sealed twelve thousand. 7:5

 

Of the tribe of ASER (ASHER) were sealed twelve thousand. 7:6

 

Of the tribe of NAPHTHALIM (NAPHTALI) were sealed twelve thousand. 7:6

 

Of the tribe of MANASSES (DAN) were sealed twelve thousand. 7:6

 

Of the tribe of SIMEON were sealed twelve thousand. 7:7

 

Of the tribe of LEVI were sealed twelve thousand. 7:7

 

Of the tribe of ISSACHAR were sealed twelve thousand. 7:7

 

Of the tribe of ZABULON (ZEBULUN) were sealed twelve thousand. 7:8

 

Of the tribe of JOSEPH were sealed twelve thousand. 7:8

 

Of the tribe of BENJAMIN were sealed twelve thousand. 7:8

 

These Rabbis (Preachers) will be preaching the gospel of the coming kingdom on earth. And will be sealed at the beginning of the 7 year tribulation.

 

THE 12 TRIBES AFTER THE 7 YEAR TRIBULATION. WHAT WILL THEY BE DOING? Ezekiel 48 WHERE WILL THEY BE?

 

Now these are the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east and west; a portion for DAN. And by the border of DAN, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for ASHER. And by the border of ASHER, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for NAPHTALI. And by the border of NAPHTALI, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for MANASSEH. And by the border of MANASSEH, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for EPHRAIM. And by the border of EPHRAIM, from the east side even unto the west side, a portion for REUBEN. And by the border of REUBEN, from the east side unto the west side, a portion for JUDAH. And by the border of JUDAH, from the east side unto the west side, shall be the offering which ye shall offer of five and twenty thousand reeds in breadth, and in length as one of the other parts, from the east side unto the west side: and the sanctuary shall be in the midst of it. The oblation that ye shall offer unto the Lord shall be of five and twenty thousand in length, and of ten thousand in breadth. And for them, even for the priests, shall be this holy oblation; toward the north five and twenty thousand in length, and toward the west ten thousand in breadth, and toward the east ten thousand in breadth, and toward the south five and twenty thousand: and the sanctuary of the Lord shall be in the midst thereof. It shall be for the priests that are sanctified of the sons of Zadok; which have kept my charge, which went not astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the LEVITES went astray. And this oblation of the land that is offered shall be unto them a thing most holy by the border of the LEVITES. And over against the border of the priests the LEVITES shall have five and twenty thousand in length, and ten thousand in breadth: all the length shall be five and twenty thousand, and the breadth ten thousand. And they shall not sell of it, neither exchange, nor alienate the firstfruits of the land: for it is holy unto the Lord. And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a prophane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof. And these shall be the measures therof; the north side four thousand and five hundred, and the south side four thousand and five hundred, and on the east side four thousand and five hundred, and the west side four thousand and five hundred, And the suburbs of the city shall be toward the north two hundred and fifty, and toward the south two hundred and fifty, and toward the east two hundred and fifty, and toward the west two hundred and fifty. And the residue in length over against the oblation of the holy portion shall be ten thousand eastward, and ten thousand westward: and it shall be over against the oblation of the holy portion;  and the increase thereof shall be for food unto them that serve the city. And they that serve the city shall serve it out of all the tribes of Israel. All the oblation shall be five and twenty thousand by five and twenty thousand: ye shall offer the holy oblation four square, with the possesion of the city. And the residue shall be for the prince, on the one side and on the other of the holy oblation, and of the possession of the city, over against the five and twenty thousand of the oblation toward the east border, and westward over against the five and twenty thousand toward the west border, over against the portions for the prince: and it
