November 18, 2014 by aGodMan 2 Comments

Genesis concludes with a life that, in Jacob, expressed God in His image and, in Joseph, represented God with His dominion.

In the beginning of Genesis we see that God created man in His image and according to His likeness, and He intended that man would express Him and represent Him (Gen. 1:26-28). Then, at the end of Genesis, we see Jacob who expressed God in His image … [Continue reading]

Benjamin: the Dwelling Place of the Triune God with Man Consummating in New Jerusalem

Gen. 49:1-28 is an abstract of the entire Bible, a summary of the history of God's people (Israel and the church), and a portrait of the personal history of every believer.

When Jacob was at the zenith, the culmination of his life, he was shining like a sun: he prophesied with blessing in a specific way concerning each of his twelve sons. His prophecy was first fulfilled in the history of the people of Israel with the … [Continue reading]

Genesis 49:22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a fountain; His branches run over the wall.

Because he was separated from his brothers in the principle of a Nazarite, Joseph was blessed above his brothers by his father Jacob (see Gen. 49:22-26). In his prophesying with blessing concerning each of his twelve sons, Jacob uttered a great … [Continue reading]

Enjoying Christ as the Rich Provision of Life: He is the Secret of our Sufficiency

November 12, 2014 by aGodMan 3 Comments

We need to be those enjoying Christ as the rich provision of life, "dipping our foot in oil" (living according to the Spirit), and learning Christ as the secret of our sufficiency in our Christian life and church life.

Jacob's prophesying with blessing concerning each of his sons applies both to the history and experience of the twelve tribes of Israel and to our Christian experience in the church today. We all start in a low and sinful way, as dead in sins and … [Continue reading]

And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect. (Rom. 12:2)

While leaning on the top of his staff in his old age, Jacob blessed and prophesied over each one of his twelve sons. His life was brighter and brighter until the full day (Prov. 4:18), and even when he was old and full of days he was clear in his … [Continue reading]
