Genesis 48 The Blessing From Jacob-Israel

To see Genesis 48 without my comments click HERE.

Genesis 48 is the passage where Jacob-Israel became very ill. Joseph took his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh to go meet their grandfather as he was putting his affairs into order. Jacob knew that Father Yahweh blessed him at the Well of Oath and promised to make a great nation out of him within Egypt. Although the Israelites were to become a great nation within the borders of Egypt, eventually, in the end the Israelites became slaves to to Egyptian government through unfair regulation. Eventually the nation of Israel would end up leaving Egypt as slaves. The true nature of the Israelites is that they are a freedom loving people wanting to live under Yahweh's simple laws and not mans. 

 Israel's love of freedom is best surmised by Howard Rand in “Primogenesis” on pages 126-127 when he wrote: “ In the development of the nation and company of nations, the Abrahamic peoples have always fought for freedom. To subject them to laws of restraint today incites a spirit of resistance among the people and quickly engenders rebellion.”

When Joseph's children arrived Jacob mustered the strength to talk to Joseph as he blessed Joseph's children. I hope all will notice that Joseph himself never received the blessing at all from Israel, but instead the blessing went directly to Joseph's children. When Jacob-Israel blessed Joseph's children he literally adopted them as his own children; Gen 48:5-6. All other children Joseph was to have after that point would fall tribally under Ephaim and Manasseh; Joshua17:17, and were addressed by Joshua as such in Joshua chapters 16 and 17. This blessing that the boys were to receive was a double portion of what the other sons of Israel would later receive.

Many Judeo-Christians believe that the people we call "Jews" today received the blessing from Jacob-Israel and Jews encompass all of Israel. The truth is that most people we call Jews are not Semites but rather are Ashkenazi Khazar's from the footsteps of Russia that are proselytes to the Anti-Christ religion to Talmudism or Judaism, and have absolutely nothing at all to do with the Bible nor the Holy Land except for where the Messiah talks to the Edomite Rabbi's; Matt 23:15.

Even if somehow one could prove an Ashkenazi or other proselyte came from Judah, then keep in mind that in Gen 37:27 Judah was very instrumental in selling Joseph into slavery and also corrupted his seed by having children with a canaanite woman Gen 38:1-2, Which God ended up killing his Canaanite wife and children. Technically speaking Judah was the uncle of Ephraim and Manasseh and Judah did not receive the blessing from Israel!

Jacob-Israel crossed his arms when he blessed Joseph's children and created the thirteenth tribe of Israel.

Putting his right hand on Ephraim and left on Manasseh, Israel put the first part of the blessing on Ephraim the youngest. Joseph tried to correct Israel and told him that the youngest was under his right hand. Jacob told him he knew it and that he knew what he was doing. He told Joseph that Ephraim would be a multitude of nations and Manasseh would become a great nation. When Israel did this (split the blessing) between the two boys he created what we now call the 13 tribes of Israel.

The number thirteen and the crossing of the arms became national symbols of Israel, and is commonly used in nations that have been found by Hebrew Israelites. These symbols have been used in flags in both Europe and in America (The Confederate Flag) to define Hebrew Israelite lineage.

It's amazing that there is great proof that Father Yahweh has never left his people and never will. Praise be the Lord!
