LESSONS FROM THE LIFE OF JACOB #89
JACOB'S PROPHECIES ABOUT THE TWELVE TRIBES OF ISRAEL # 24
BENJAMIN #11
THE MINISTERIAL PARTNERSHIP OF BENJAMIN AND JUDAH #3
Today we fast forward to Jesus' time.
To whom did Jesus ( from the tribe of Judah ) minister to in His earthly ministry?
Mainly the Galileans who were descendants of the Benjamites after they returned from the Babylonian Captivity.
In other words, the first disciples were Benjamites - as partners with Jesus to proclaim the good news of the gospel.
Is it a coincidence then that the gospel of Jesus ( from the tribe of Judah ) should be best explained and taught by the epistles of Paul ( from the tribe of Benjamin )?
What is the spiritual lesson for today?
Ten of the twelve tribes were lost leaving two to fulfill God's mandate.
Five of the Endtime Churches in Revelation failed Christ's Great Commission leaving only two - Smyrna and Philadelphia which were commended for their faithful witness of the gospel.
Will we be accounted among the remnant if we play the role of the comatose Bride of Christ?
Hasn't the Feast of Trumpets started for the Jewish Year of 5781 with the shofar wakeup call to the sleeping church to arise and go back to the basics of the gospel?
Or are you waiting for 2021 to decide what to do next?
