DID YOU KNOW THAT THE 12 SONS OF JACOB IS A MYSTERY OF CHRIST

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE 12 SONS OF JACOB IS A MYSTERY OF CHRIST*

Jacob had twelve sons and their names put together is the hidden gospel revealed through it. Its amazing how God hid all these wonderful truths in simple names and stories. Here are the names and their meanings:

Reuben – Behold, A Son is born to us
Simon – One who hears
Levi - Attached
Judah – Praise the Lord
Dan – He judged
Naphtali – My Struggle
Gad – Good fortune
Asher – Happiness
Issachar - Reward
Zebulun - Honour
Joseph – Add to my family
Benjamin – Son of righteousness

This is what it says:

BEHOLD, A SON IS BORN UNTO US, ONE WHO HEARS US AND BECAME ATTACHED UNTO US. PRAISE THE LORD, HE JUDGED OUR STRUGGLE AND BROUGHT US GOOD FORTUNE, HAPPINESS, REWARD, HONOR; HE ADDED US TO HIS FAMILY AND CALLED US THE SONS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

This completely blew off my mind when I discovered it. Jesus Christ is not just a mere name we mention in our sermons, He is the content, the context, the text, paragraph, the remark, the mark and the outline of the entire Bible."

Let us therefore,
Cultivate the habit of talking with the Saviour when we are alone, when wr are walking, and when we are busy with our daily labor. Let the heart be continually uplifted in silent petition for help, for light, for strength, for knowledge. Let every breath be a prayer.                                                                                                                                                                                                A forwarded post
