1 | Was Jacob a Prophet for Christians? | John 8:50 | Makarios | 225225 | ||
Greetings Alegrio Maduk, You ask, "Will the prophecy of Jacob concerning his sons (Genesis 49:3-27) can be fulfilled or not?" This poem or "Blessing of Jacob" which prophesied the tribes of Israel proved true: * Reuben's descendants were characterized by indecision (see Judges 5:15-16) * Simeon's descendants were absorbed into the territory of Judah (see Josh. 19:1,9) * Levi's descendants were dispersed throughout the land, living in 48 towns and serving as priests (Gen. 48:6; Numbers 35:2,7; Josh. 14:4; 21:41) * Judah is often pictured as a lion (Numbers 24:9; Ezek. 19:1-7; Micah 5:8), and Judah's greatest descendant, Jesus Christ, is Himself "the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah" (Rev. 5:5) * Zebulun's descendants were close enough to the Mediterranean to "draw out of the abundance of the seas" (Deut. 33:19) * Dan's descendants would later be involved in treachery (Judges 18:27). Samson, from the tribe of Dan, single-handedly held the Philistines at bay (Judges 14-16) * As they were East of the Jordan (Joshua 13:24-27), the descendants of Gad were vulnerable to raids from the Moabites to the south (2 Kings 3:4) * Asher's descendants had access to fertile farmlands (Joshua 19:24-30) * Naphtali's descendants would dwell in a somewhat isolated location in the hill country north of the Sea of Galilee (Josh. 19:32-38) * Ephraim would be victorious in battle (Judges 8:1; 12:1; Josh. 17:14-18), later prosper (Hosea 12:8) and gain supremacy (Josh. 16:9; Isaiah 7:1-2; Hosea 13:1) * Manasseh's descendants would inhabit the Trans-jordan area of Gilead (Numbers 32:33) * Benjamin's descendants would be savage and know war: Ehud (Judges 3:12-30), Saul and Jonathan (1 Sam. 11-15) and Judges 19-21 This prophecy of Jacob has absolutely nothing to do with John 8:50. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | What happen to the tribe of Dan? | John 8:50 | Alegrio Maduk | 225228 | ||
Is there a consonance in Genesis 49:16 with Isaiah 42:1 and Genesis 49:17 with Isaiah 42:16-17? (In Revelation 7:5-8 the tribe of Dan not included in the 144,000. and supported by command of Jesus to his disciples-Matt. 10:5). | ||||||

Alegrio: You've asked 18 questions to this point - all relating to the text of scripture. I think it's time to put your cards on the table. Are you sincerely seeking answers or is this merely a ploy to debate inerrancy? Stated differently: What's your purpose? BradK |

BradK,I wanted idea what was really the reason Arius a priest in argument with Alexander the bishop and the reason in Judaism new testament was not included. To be sure that the Bible was not edited during the time of Emperor Constantine by comparing the Old and the New testament.I wanted that the bible has no inconsistency if there is due to people who wanted to push the idea, and not of God's. There are groups that claims that Israel are people of God not the particular tribe of Israel by blood. But now the prophecy for Israel are coming to be fulfilled. |
