RECAP: WHY ARE WE STUDYING THE
12 TRIBES?
1. It REFLECTS THE MIND OF GOD in organizing
His community of believers
2. The DIFFERENT TRIBAL ANOINTINGS
represent the different anointing that
comprise the body of Christ
3. It teaches a VERY IMPORTANT LESSON OR
CONCEPT ON “FAILINGS AND REDEMPTION”

WHO IS BENJAMIN?
• Youngest son of Jacob by
Rachel, who died on the road
between Beth-el and Ephrath,
while giving him birth.
• She named him "Ben-oni" (son
of my sorrow); but Jacob, to
avert the evil omen, called him
"Ben Yamin," son of my right
hand (Gen. 35:. 17, 18).
• In gaining him, Jacob lost his
beloved wife Rachel

THE STORY:
GENESIS 35:
1 Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel and settle there,
and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when
you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”
… … …
• 16 Then they moved on from Bethel. While they were still
some distance from Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and
had great difficulty. 17 And as she was having great difficulty
in childbirth, the midwife said to her, “Don’t despair, for you
have another son.” 18 As she breathed her last—for she was
dying—she named her son Ben-Oni (which means son of my
sorrow).[h] But his father named him Benjamin. (which
means son of my right hand)[i]
• 19 So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that
is, Bethlehem).

INITIAL INTERESTING FACTS:
• Benjamin was not granted to his parents until
after Rachel had prayed and fasted for a second
son a long time (Testament of the Twelve
Patriarchs, l.c.; Num. R. xiv. 8), and not until
Jacob was one hundred years old (Testament of
the Twelve Patriarchs, ib.; "Sefer ha-Yashar,"
Wayishlaḥ, ib.; compare Heilprin, "Seder ha-
Dorot," i. 52, ed. Warsaw).
• Benjamin therefore was CONCEIVED IN FASTING
AND PRAYER, and BIRTHED IN THE OLD AGE OF
HIS PARENTS, especially his father

YET, HE WAS ALMOST DOOMED BY
THE NAME GIVEN TO HIM
• Benjamin was the last son born to Jacob by
his beloved wife Rachel. She died giving him
birth and "she called his name Ben-oni: but
his father called him Benjamin." (Genesis
35:18). Benoni means "son of my sorrow" and
Benjamin means "son of the right hand.“
• Benjamin is a DIRECT EXAMPLE of a person
who was SAVED BY GIVING HIM ANOTHER
NAME!

HE WAS REDEEMED BY THE NAME
GIVEN TO HIM BY HIS FATHER
• BENJAMIN – son of my RIGHT HAND
• "The right hand is the seat of power. The son of
the right hand is therefore, the child of power.
He gave power to his father, as he was his twelfth
son, and so completed the number of the holy
family" As Psalm 80:17 says, "Let thy hand be
upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of
man whom thou madest strong for thyself.“
• BENJAMIN THEREFORE WAS A COMPLETER.
• LAST SON, TWELTH TRIBE – THE NATION WAS
COMPLETE

“SON OF MY RIGHT HAND”
• The Right hand is a position of ruling with the
king of a nation. As it is said about Christ, "Sit
on my right hand, until I make thine enemies
thy footstool?" (Hebrews 1:13). "..being upon
the same throne with his Father, exercising the
same government over angels and men;
'sitting' is explained by 'reigning' in 1Cor.
15:25." (Gill's Commentary).

NOW DON’T FORGET THAT JACOB WAS
A PRINCE!! (Genesis 32)
• "And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man
with him until the breaking of the day.
"And when he saw that he prevailed not against him,
he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of
Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
"And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he
said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
"And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said,
Jacob.
"And he said, THY NAME SHALL BE CALLED NO MORE
JACOB, BUT ISRAEL: FOR AS A PRINCE HAST THOU
POWER WITH GOD AND WITH MEN, AND HAST
PREVAILED." Gen 32:24-28).

Regency anointing
• Jacob was to rule as a prince or
ruler with God on earth. The
Israelites were given power to rule
the nations and prevail over their
enemies AND BENJAMIN WAS TO
“SIT ON HIS RIGHT HAND”.
• Another BENJAMIN anointing is
REGENCY: sitting as
REPRESENTATIVE OR RIGHT HAND
OF THE RULER (God, Jesus Christ)

JACOB PASSES ON HIS NAME TO THE
SONS OF HIS FAVORITE SON, JOSEPH
GENESIS 48
1 Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So
he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim along
with him. 2 When Jacob was told, “Your son Joseph has
come to you,” Israel rallied his strength and sat up on
the bed.
• 3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty[a] appeared to
me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and there he blessed
me 4 and said to me, ‘I am going to make you fruitful
and increase your numbers. I will make you a
community of peoples, and I will give this land as an
everlasting possession to your descendants after you.’

GENESIS 48
• 5 “Now then, your two sons born to you in Egypt before I
came to you here will be reckoned as mine; Ephraim and
Manasseh will be mine, just as Reuben and Simeon are
mine. 6 Any children born to you after them will be yours; in
the territory they inherit they will be reckoned under the
names of their brothers.7 As I was returning from
Paddan,[b] to my sorrow Rachel died in the land of Canaan
while we were still on the way, a little distance from
Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath”
(that is, Bethlehem).
• 8 When Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he asked, “Who are
these?”
• 9 “They are the sons God has given me here,” Joseph said to
his father.
• Then Israel said, “Bring them to me so I may bless them.”

Genesis 48
• 10 Now Israel’s eyes were failing because of old
age, and he could hardly see. So Joseph
brought his sons close to him, and his father
kissed them and embraced them.
• 11 Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to
see your face again, and now God has allowed
me to see your children too.”
• 12 Then Joseph removed them from Israel’s
knees and bowed down with his face to the
ground. 13 And Joseph took both of them,
Ephraim on his right toward Israel’s left hand
and Manasseh on his left toward Israel’s right
hand,and brought them close to him. 14 But
Israel reached out his right hand and put it on
Ephraim’s head, though he was the
younger, and crossing his arms, he put his left
hand on Manasseh’s head, even though
Manasseh was the firstborn.

IMPORTANT SIDENOTE!!
• THERE HAVE BEEN
MANY ROLE
SWITCHINGS OF
SONS IN THE BIBLE!
• We are never “stuck
up” in any one
position!!
• We can move from
blessing to greater
blessing, depending

Genesis 48
15 Then he blessed Joseph and said,
“May the God before whom my fathers
Abraham and Isaac walked
faithfully,
the God who has been my shepherd
all my life to this day,
16 the Angel who has delivered me
from all harm
—may he bless these boys.
MAY THEY BE CALLED BY MY NAME
and the names of my fathers
Abraham and Isaac,
and may they increase greatly
on the earth.”

WHAT IS THE EFFECT OF THIS BLESSING ON
EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH TO BENJAMIN?
• JACOB WAS A PRINCE (Israel means prince)
• He passed on his name (Prince) to Ephraim and Manasseh
• So THE RULER ANOINTING (PRINCEHOOD) WAS PASSED
ON TO EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH. (Note: the SCEPTER
was with JUDAH.)
• Ephraim and Manasseh prevailed over their enemies and
become a great nation and a company of nations, and have
grown into a multitude in the midst of the earth, see
Genesis 48; 49; 35:10-11.
• SINCE JACOB NAMED BENJAMIN “SON OF MY RIGHT
HAND”, BENJAMIN BECAME THE RIGHT HAND OF THE
RULER TRIBES
• The VIKING, NORMAN, AND NORDIC WARRIORS ARE
DESCENDED FROM BENJAMIN

BENJAMIN WAS A PROTECTED SON!!
• Jacob after he thought Joseph, his favorite son was killed, (GENESIS
37) he protected his son Benjamin, Joseph's brother from any harm.
• When Jacobs sons went down to Egypt to buy corn because of the
famine all over Palestine, Jacob insisted that Benjamin stay behind.
"My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and
he is left alone: if mischief befall him by the way in the which ye
go, then shall ye bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to the
grave." (Gen 42:38). See also Gen 44:26-29. If anything happened
to Benjamin, it would mean his death, since he already lost his son
that would rule the earth, and his "right hand" that would rule with
him.
• As a result, the other brothers "...learned to feel a solicitude
[carefulness] for Benjamin as a result of their unbrotherly attitudes
and actions towards Joseph and their subsequent remorse" (The
International Bible Commentary by F.F. Bruce, p.142).
• SO ANOTHER BENJAMINITE ANOINTING IS THE PROTECTIVENESS
OF THE FATHER OVER HIM!!

THIS PROTECTIVENESS OF THE
NATURAL FATHER WAS REINFORCED
BY THE SPIRITUAL FATHER MOSES
OVER BENJAMIN!!
In DEUTERONOMY 33, in BLESSING THE TRIBES
OF ISRAEL, MOSES THE SPIRITUAL FATHER OF
ISRAEL PROPHESIED:
v. 12:
“And of Benjamin he said, THE BELOVED OF THE
LORD shall DWELL IN SAFETY BY HIM; and
THE LORD SHALL COVER HIM ALL THE DAY
LONG, and HE SHALL DWELL BETWEEN HIS
SHOULDERS"

LOOK AGAIN AT THIS BEAUTIFUL
PROPHECY, AND POWERFUL ANOINTING!:
Deut. 33:12 “And of Benjamin he said, THE
BELOVED OF THE LORD shall DWELL IN SAFETY
BY HIM; and THE LORD SHALL COVER HIM ALL
THE DAY LONG, and HE SHALL DWELL BETWEEN
HIS SHOULDERS"

The BENJAMINITE ANOINTING
MAKES A BELIEVER SUPER-ASSURED
AND CONFIDENT THAT HE/SHE IS
LOVED BY THE HEAVENLY FATHER!!
(NO ORPHAN SPIRIT!!)

EARLY
FULFILMENT:
“He is beloved…”
“dwell in safety…”
“The Lord covers
him all day long”
“dwell between His
shoulders”
THE TRIBAL
ALLOTMENT OF
BENJAMIN SITS
ON THE PRINCELY
SHOULDERS OF
EPHRAIM,
MANASSEH, AND
JUDAH

PROTECTED!!!
• Genesis 49 writes that Joseph is helped by God and
God dwells among them, "from thence is the shepherd,
the stone of Israel:" (v.24). Benjamin dwells between
the shoulders of Joseph, Ephraim (Britain, Canada)
and Manasseh (USA). His borders are protected by
God through Joseph.
• Benjamin is "carried on his back" like a father to a
child. Today the Tribe of Benjamin is protected in the
realm of the British, though distinct and separate are
still protected. Quebec throughout its history has been
helped by Ephraimite Canada, and many of its Prime
Ministers have been from Norman (Benjaminite)
Quebec, hence ruling with God!

AMAZING
CONTINOUS
FULFILMENT:
The prophetic blessing
continues to hold
• Adam Rutherford, a scholar on the tribes of Israel, wrote in May 1937 the
book Iceland's Great Inheritance, where he identified the Icelanders as
the descendants of the tribe of Benjamin.
• The rulers of Europe (UK, etc.) are descended from Ephraim (Canadians)
and Manaseh; the Americans are descended from Europe
• ICELAND HAS NOT BEEN INVADED SINCE THE FIRST ICELANDIC
PARLIAMENT (THE ALTING) WAS FORMED IN 930 AD. The same can
hardly be said of any other North-West European people!
DEUT. 33:12 “And of Benjamin he said, THE BELOVED OF THE LORD shall
DWELL IN SAFETY BY HIM; and THE LORD SHALL COVER HIM ALL THE DAY
LONG, and HE SHALL DWELL BETWEEN HIS SHOULDERS"

A VERY INTERESTING FOOTNOTE!
And the prophecy of Ezekiel (4:1-8)? (430 YEARS OF
CAPTIVITY)
REMEMBER THE SEVEN TIMES CURSE FOR DISOBEDIENCE in
LEVITICUS 26:14-46?
The Lord forewarned His Chosen People if they continued to
be lacking in faithfulness He would inflict a punishment
upon them, of very long but nevertheless definite duration,
termed "Seven Times". This punishment took the form
mainly of conquests by and subjection to other nations. It
was stated to the entire Israel nation—the whole twelve
tribes (Lev. 26,18,21,24, 28).
It came into operation upon the Northern Kingdom of Israel
(the Ten Tribes) when they came under the Assyrian yoke
and were taken captive to Assyria, and it began on the
Southern Kingdom of the Two Tribes, Judah and Benjamin,
when they were subjugated by the Babylonians.

An interesting footnote
• That great term of punishment, as stated, is "Seven Times"—a cryptic expression
which the Bible itself reveals the meaning of. In Revelation 12:14 a certain
prophetic period is spoken of as lasting "a time and times and half a time". In verse
6 of the same chapter that same period is stated to be "a thousand two hundred
and three score days" (1,260 "days"). In the third verse of the previous chapter
(Revelation 11:3) "a thousand two hundred and three score days" is also
mentioned, but in the verse that precedes (v.2) it is referred to as "forty and two
months" (42 months) as also in Revelation 13:5. It is obvious, therefore, that 42
months, 1,260 days and "a time, times, and half a time" are synonymous terms,
and that "a time, times and half a time" is 3½ prophetic years (1 +2 + =31/2). A
"Time" is therefore a prophetic year and has 12 months of 30 days each, i.e., 360
days. This is confirmed by the fact that 42 months equal 1,260 days, and hence 1
month equals 30 days. Since 31/2 Times are 1,260 days, then twice Three and a
Half Times, that is, Seven Times must be twice 1,260 days, i.e., 2,520 days.
• Be it noted, though, that these are not literal days, but prophetic days. How long is
a prophetic day? "God is His own interpreter," for in the time-prophecy of days
given in the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 4, He informs us that the prophetic scale is a
day for a year. He instructs us:" I have appointed thee each day for a year" (Ezek.
4:5,6). Therefore, Seven Times, or 2,520 days, prophetic time, equal 2,520 years,
ordinary time. ( In Old Testament times a month was 30 days. There were twelve
months in the year, which therefore had 360 days (12 x 30.---360), the odd 5 1/4
days making up the solar year being accumulated over a period of years and
intercalated periodically).

FULFILMENT ON BENJAMIN:!!
• Now, Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon invaded the Holy Land in
the end of 604 B.C. and returned to Babylon the following
year, 603 B.C., annexing the territory of Benjamin and
Judah to the Babylonian Empire. Seven Times or 2,520
years after 603 B.C. will bring us to the date when
Benjamin and Judah are due to be freed from the yoke of
other nations.
• Now, 2,520 years after 604-603 B.C. bring us to A.D. 1918-
1917
• This was the very year that ICELAND GAINED ITS
FREEDOM AND BECAME AN INDEPENDENT SOVEREIGN
STATE—BECAUSE ICELAND IS BENJAMIN.
• The Dano-Icelandic Act granting this liberty to Iceland was
passed in 1918, and came into operation on December 1st
of that year. Even in Quebec, the Conscription Crisis of 1917
resulted in more independence for Quebec

Also ON JUDAH:
Similarly, in the years of 1917-1918, the Land of
Judaea (JUDAH’S TERRITORY) was released from age-
long oppression, the Turks were driven out, and the
Jews were given the freedom to re-build their
national home there due to the BALFOUR
DECLARATION—because the Jews are Judah.
• Consequently, it was in 1918 that the commission of
influential Jews arrived in Palestine and inaugurated
the nucleus of the Jewish National Home, and,
amongst other things, laid the foundation stone of the
great Hebrew University, which has now become the
centre of Jewish culture throughout the World.

BUT THE TRIBE WAS ALMOST WIPED
OUT!! The “Gibeah incident” JUDGES 19-21
• JUDGES 19
- A Levite whose wife was unfaithful redeemed said wife
- He was going home on the way to Bethlehem when they passed
by Gibeah, which belonged to the Benjaminites
- The towns people would not give then lodging, until an old man
offered them lodging
- The gay members of the town surrounded the house of the old man
to turn over the man “because we would like to know him” v. 22
(ala Sodom and Gomorah)
- The old man refused, and the GAY towns people stormed the house
of the old man and gets the woman by force and rapes her until
morning
- In the morning, she dies
- The Levite, in utter anguish, cuts the body of the woman in twelve
parts and send the parts to the 12 tribes of Israel

Judges 20
- The other tribes meet and decide what to do
- They decided to go to Gibeah and ask the Benjaminites to
surrender the men who did the dastardly act
- The Benjaminites refused
- The rest of Israel decides to attack Gibeah of Benjamin
• Although the Benjaminites were outnumbered 400,000 to 26,700,
they won the first two battles as they routed the combined forces
of the other tribes. Judges 20:21-25 records that the Benjaminites
decimated the armies of the other tribes, killing 40,000 of them.
The Israelite tribes had to fast and obtain God's divine help to
defeat the Benjaminites. At the end of this needless war, THE
ENTIRE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN WAS REDUCED TO ONLY 600 MEN.
This describes the Benjaminites as fierce warriors.

A HUBRIS IN THE BENJAMINITE
CHARACTER:
Like all people and all Christians, THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN is also a flawed or
character or has flaws and susceptibilities to sin:
THE GIBEAH INCIDENT exposed a WEAKNESS in the BENJAMINITE
CHARACTER:
1. A “SOPHISTICATION” which manifested in a TOLERANCE FOR
HOMOSEXUALITY (the TORAH inflicts the penalty of death for this sin
but the Benjaminite community in Gibeah openly allowed and
tolerated it)
2. A WEAK SENSE OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE (youngest child syndrome?)
(they were not enraged by the murder of the Levite’s wife)
3. A LACK OF SOLID BONDING TO THE FAMILY COMMUNITY especially
with the ELDERS (they REJECTED THE APPEAL OF THE 11 OTHER TRIBES
WITHOUT REASON)
NOTE: WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL THAT IN OUR STUDY OF THE TORAH AND
HEBRAIC ROOTS OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH, WE DO NOT DEVELOP A
SMUG ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE REST OF THE BODY OF CHRIST!

Judges 21
• After this civil war, the Israelites swore not to give their daughters in marriage to
any of them. (Judges 21:1). Jabesh Gilead had not sent a delegation to fight against
the Bejaminites, therefore all the inhabitants of the town were killed except 400
virgins.
• These were given in marriage to the remaining Benjaminites.
• Jabesh Gilead was a town in the land of Manasseh! The 200 Benjaminites left
were told to get their wives from Shiloh (Judges 21:20-21). Shiloh was a town in
the land of Ephraim!
• God saw to it that the tribe of Benjamin was built up again with the closest tribe to
Benjamin, the tribe of Joseph, his bother! This makes Benjamin and Joseph closer
to each other than any other tribe, and in the end time it is no wonder that we see
Benjamin dwelling with Joseph "between his shoulders."

BUT THE ULTIMATE
UNDERSTANDING OF THE
TRIBE OF BENJAMIN IS
ROOTED IN THE BLESSING
OF HIS FATHER JACOB
UPON HIM
•Genesis 49

THE BLESSING OF JACOB ON
BENJAMIN: A STRANGE PROPHECY!
Genesis 49:
1 Then Jacob called for his sons and said: “Gather around
so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to
come.
… … …
27 “BENJAMIN IS A RAVENOUS WOLF;
IN THE MORNING HE DEVOURS THE PREY,
IN THE EVENING HE DIVIDES THE PLUNDER.”
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what
their father said to them when he blessed them, giving
each the blessing appropriate to him.

A “RAVENOUS WOLF”: THE
BENJAMINITE ANNOINTING!

HOW CAN “A RAVENOUS WOLF” BE A
POSITIVE ANNOINTING?
RAVENOUS – ravin
TARAPH in Hebrew – has to two basic meanings:
1. to violently tear away or remove something
from someone; to snatch against someone’s will,
to take away from violently, to seize something.
2. to tear something to pieces
“IN THE MORNING HE SHALL DEVOUR THE PREY,
IN THE EVENING HE SHALL DIVIDE THE SPOILS.”

WHY OF ALL
ANIMALS A
WOLF?
1. The Wolf has developed the capacity to survive in the
most inhospitable of climates. The wolves in the high
arctic endure several winter months of perpetual
darkness. Even in February when sun returns to the north,
temperatures of -40°C and bitter winds are common.
Other wolves are at home in the desert and the dampness
of a humid Gulf Coast swamp.
“I have learned, in what ever state I am, to be content.” (Phil
4:11)

WHY WOLF?
2. Wolves are very intelligent creatures whose upright ears, sharp
teeth, pointed muzzles, inquiring eyes and other facial features
instantly convey this quality.
“Grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ…” (2 Pet.
3:17)
3. Wolves bodies are built for stamina, possessing features ideal for
long distance travel. Their narrow chests and powerful backs and
legs assist their efficient locomotion. Wolves are capable of
covering several miles trotting at about a pace of 10 kilometres per
hour (6 miles per hour) and have been known to reach speeds
approaching 65 kilometres per hour (40 miles per hour) during a
chase. While sprinting, wolves can cover up to 5 metres (16 feet)
per run.
“I endure all things for the sake of the elect that they may also obtain
salvation…” 2 Timothy 2:10

Why wolf?
4. Wolves are gregarious animals who mostly live in packs. A pack is
made when a male and a female wolf meet each other and stay
together. As a mated pair, they find a territory to settle in and raise
cubs most years. Their cubs stay with them until they are old
enough to leave home, usually by the time they are 3 years old and
conditions are right to start a family or pack of their own. You can
view a pack as a permanent core of a mated pair plus their
continuously dispersing offspring.
Family, fellowship, community.
5. Wolves understand and respect leadership – they are led by alpha
wolves.
Respect your elders, especially those who work hard among you. I
Thess. 5:12-13

WHY WOLF?
In large packs of wolves there is sometimes a 'second in
command'. These are known as the 'Beta wolf or wolves'.
Beta wolves typically take on the role of raising the
alpha pairs offspring, often becoming surrogate mothers
or fathers to the pups while the alpha pair are absent.
Bear ye up one another’s burden and so fulfill the law of
Christ. Galatians 6:2
6. Wolves howl. Wolves howl as a way of communicating
with other wolves. Wolves howl when they are rallying
for a hunt, mourning, communicating with another
pack of wolves or when a pack member has become
separated - a lost wolf howls and the other members
of his pack respond, giving him a sound to guide him
home. Pack members recognise each others voices.
Speak to one another in psalms, hymns, spiritual songs…
Ephesians 5:19

WHY WOLF?
7. WOLVES OVERCOME LARGER PREY
ISAIAH 49: 23
"Kings will be your guardians, And their
princesses your nurses. They will bow
down to you with their faces to the
earth And lick the dust of your feet;
And you will know that I am the LORD;
Those who hopefully wait for Me will
not be put to shame. 24"Can the prey
be taken from the mighty man, Or the
captives of a tyrant be
rescued?" 25Surely, thus says the
LORD, "Even the captives of the mighty
man will be taken away, And the prey
of the tyrant will be rescued; For I will
contend with the one who contends
with you, And I will save your sons.”

A THREE-PART BLESSING:
• Benjamin’s blessing has three parts.
1. Compared to a wolf, his blessing has two time
frames, morning and evening;
2. it has two actions, devouring and dividing;
3. and two outcomes, prey and spoil.
This sets up a type of “before and after” experience
for Benjamin and his offspring.

The FIRST PART of the 3-part blessing:
• In Jewish culture the day begins at evening. Here
begins the “after” for Benjamin. Benjamin’s prophecy
ends in the evening, the beginning of a new day,
• THIS IS THE END-TIME ERA, THE DAWN OF A NEW
SEASON
• Here, he will “divide the spoil.”
• This has two aspects. First, through the apostle Paul,
who testifies, “This is a faithful saying and worthy of all
acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world TO
SAVE SINNERS, of whom I am chief” (1 Timothy 1:15).
• “DIVIDING THE SPOILS” is GETTING THE CAPTIVES
HELD BY SATAN, THE BEAST, AWAY OR FREE FROM
HIM

The SECOND PART of the 3-part
blessing
• But his “dividing of the spoil” has its fulfillment yet future. In
Revelation 7:8, DURING THE TRIBULATION PERIOD, 12,000 men
from Benjamin, along with 12,000 from each of the other tribes of
Israel, will reach a world population with the gospel “that no man
could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing
before the throne and the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with
palm branches in their hands” (Revelation 7:9).
• The second dividing of the spoil for Benjamin comes in the
Millennial kingdom when he will have a place in the land of Israel,
along with a gate that has his name on it in the city of Jerusalem
(Ezekiel 48:32). He, along with the other tribes of Israel will find the
ultimate dividing of the spoils in the New Jerusalem as each gate
has their name, Benjamin included, on each of the twelve gates
(Revelation 21:12-13). What a glorious finish! What grace is this!

The THIRD PART of the blessing
• “IN THE MORNING HE SHALL
DEVOUR THE PREY”
• In the SECOND COMING (“the
morning”), the BENJAMINITE
GENERATION will be with JESUS in
DEFEATING SATAN THE BEAST!!

A SPECIAL SKILL OF THE BENJAMINITE
JUDGES 20
15From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin
were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the
sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who
were numbered, 700 choice men.
16Out of all these people 700 choice men were
LEFT-HANDED; EACH ONE COULD SLING A STONE
AT A HAIR AND NOT MISS.
17Then the men of Israel besides Benjamin were
numbered, 400,000 men who draw the sword; all
these were men of war.

THE LEFT-HANDED WARRIORS IN THE
KINGDOM!!!
• Song of Deborah, and in descriptions where
they are described as being taught to fight left
handed, so as to be able to wrong foot their
enemies (Judges 3:15-21, 20:16, 1 Chronicles
12:2) and where they are portrayed as being
brave and skilled archers. (1 Chronicles
8:40, 2 Chronicles 14:8)

FAMOUS LEFT-HANDED WARRIOR
BUT SKILLFUL WITH BOTH HANDS

THE DESCENDANTS OF THE
BENJAMITES: THE VIKINGS!
• Ravenous as a wolf-The phrases about "devouring the prey" and "dividing the spoil" do not
describe today's Normans and Icelanders, but they very aptly describes their well-known Viking
heritage. The Vikings were known for preying (in raiding parties akin to wolf packs) on all the other
nations of Europe from bases in their northern coastlands. This parallels ancient times. Even as
Benjamin warred against all the other tribes of Israel in a bloody civil war in biblical times, the
Vikings also raided and preyed upon all the other tribes of Israel who had migrated to various
locations in Europe. F. Donald Logan in the Vikings writes, "...[the] Anglo Saxon Chronicle no longer
extant likened the Vikings in their attack[s] ...to stringed Hornets and ravenous wolves..." (p.39,
emphasis added). These would "disappear quickly from the scene to raid elsewhere" (The Northern
World, David M. Wilson, p.170), like a wolf. These would be "devouring in the morning the prey,
and dividing the plunder in the evening" (Western Vikings, N. Otten, p.3)
• The National Geographic also notes the prominence of wolves (the symbol of Genesis 49:27 for
Benjamin) in Viking mythology and art (Priit Vesilind, "In Search of Vikings," National Geographic,
May, 2000, pp.12-13).
• Left Handed- THE VIKINGS "TRAINED THEMSELVES IN SWORD FIGHTING USING THE LEFT HAND.
SOME HAVE RECORDED THAT THE VIKINGS FOUGHT WELL WITH THE LEFT HAND AS WELL AS THE
RIGHT." (ibid, p.11). The characteristic of left handedness and being ambidextrousness can only be
found with the tribe of Benjamin as a whole in Judges 3:15, 22 and Judges 20:16.
• In 1 Chronicles 12:1-2 it says, "Now these are they that came to David to Ziklag, while he yet kept
himself close because of Saul the son of Kish: and they were among the mighty men, helpers of the
war....They were armed with bows, and could use both the right hand and the left in hurling stones
and shooting arrows out of a bow, even of Saul's brethren of Benjamin."

According to Rabbinical tradition:
At the Red Sea, all the other tribes stood in
desperation only the tribe of Benjamin trusted
in God and leaped into the sea (Mekilta,
Beshallaḥ, Wayiḳra 5; Sotah 36b).
The tribe of Benjamin, which is the tribe of the
YOUNGEST SON of Jacob, WAS THE MOST
TRUSTING TRIBE.

AHIJAH’S PROPHECY – I Kings 11
• 9 The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had
turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to
him twice. 10 Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other
gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.
• 29 About that time Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, and
Ahijah the prophet of Shiloh met him on the way, wearing a new
cloak. The two of them were alone out in the country, 30 and Ahijah
took hold of the new cloak he was wearing and tore it into twelve
pieces. 31 Then he said to Jeroboam, “Take ten pieces for yourself,
for this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘See, I am going to
tear the kingdom out of Solomon’s hand and give you ten
tribes. 32 But for the sake of my servant David and the city of
Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, he
will have one tribe. 33 I will do this because they have[b] forsaken
me and worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians,
Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Molek the god of the
Ammonites, and have not walked in obedience to me, nor done
what is right in my eyes, nor kept my decrees and laws as David,
Solomon’s father, did.

I Kings 11
• 34 “‘But I will not take the whole kingdom out of
Solomon’s hand; I have made him ruler all the
days of his life for the sake of David my servant,
whom I chose and who obeyed my commands
and decrees. 35 I will take the kingdom from his
son’s hands and give you ten tribes. 36 I WILL GIVE
ONE TRIBE TO HIS SON SO THAT DAVID MY
SERVANT MAY ALWAYS HAVE A LAMP BEFORE
ME IN JERUSALEM, the city where I chose to put
my Name.

HOW AHIJAH’S PROPHECY WAS
FULFILLED
• During the splitting of the Kingdom of Israel into two nations we must
realize one thing. There were actually 13 TRIBES IN ISRAEL. If you count
the two half tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh, this makes Thirteen Tribes!
Back when Jacob was about to die, he made the two sons of Joseph, the
holders of the birthright, and he adopted them as HIS OWN SONS, instead
of looking upon them as his grandsons, and he made these two tribes
equal to the other tribes. Jacob said that these "...are MINE, AS Rueben
and Simeon..." (Gen 48:5). This makes THIRTEEN TRIBES!
• Another situation we must understand, to understand Ahijah's prophecy,
is the Tribe of Levi. The Levites were a tribe that belonged to God, and
they had no inheritance in the land. There was NO LAND OF LEVI IN
ISRAEL. They had no inheritance in the land, see Numbers 3:41;
Deuteronomy 10:8; 18:1; Joshua 18:7. So when the Kingdom split, and
God gave the ten tribes to Jeroboam, as we shall read in this prophecy, it
meant the tribes that had land, the land that they inherited. The Levites
had no land, there was nothing to take from them. The Levites were
scattered all over Israel, see Gen 49:7.

So HOW WAS THE PROPHECY
FULFILLED?
• Now let's examine Ahijah's prophecy: "And he said to
Jeroboam, Take thee ten pieces: for thus saith YHWH, the
God of Israel, Behold, I will rend the kingdom out of the
hand of Solomon, and will give ten tribes to thee (But he
shall have one tribe for my servant David's sake, and for
Jerusalem's sake, the city which I have chosen out of all
the tribes of Israel:)
• "But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand, and will
give it unto thee, even ten tribes And unto his son will I
give one tribe, that David my servant may have a light
always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have
chosen me to put my name there. And I will take thee, and
thou shalt reign according to all that thy soul desireth, and
shalt be king over Israel" (1 Kings 11:29-32, 35-37).

Let us trace the history of the divided kingdom
(Northern Kingdom: Israel,
Southern Kingdom: Judah)
• After the death of Solomon, the kingdom was given over to
his son Rehoboam. But the ten tribes to the north followed
Jeroboam, because of the heavy tax burden the king was
going to inflict on them.
• In 1 Kings 12, we see that the King (Rehoboam),
"...hearkened not unto them, the people answered the
king, saying, What portion have we in David? neither have
we inheritance in the son of Jesse: to your tents, O Israel:
now see to thine own house, David. So Israel departed
unto their tents...So Israel rebelled against the house of
David unto this day...And it came to pass, when all Israel
heard that Jeroboam was come again, that they sent and
called him unto the congregation, and made him king over
all Israel: there was none that followed [voluntarily] the
house of David, but the tribe of Judah only" ( verses 16,
19-20).

BENJAMIN SIDED WITH JUDAH!
• In verse 17, we read that Rehoboam "reigned" over the Israelites in some
cities in Judah. These people were of the tribe of Benjamin. Jerusalem
itself was in the territory of Benjamin, see Joshua 18:16, 28. Since the
Throne of David was in Jerusalem, the seed of David ruled over what was
called the kingdom of Judah, consisting of the Judah and Benjamin, "And
when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled ALL THE HOUSE
OF JUDAH, WITH THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN, an hundred and fourscore
thousand chosen men, which were warriors, to fight against the house of
Israel, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon
• "But the word of God came unto Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
• "Speak unto Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and unto all
the house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the remnant [Scattered Levites]
of the people, saying,
• "Thus saith the LORD, Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren
the children of Israel: return every man to his house; for this thing is from
me. They hearkened therefore to the word of the LORD, and returned to
depart, according to the word of the LORD." (v.21-24). Clearly now we see
Judah and Benjamin as the Kingdom of Judah! And the Northern tribes
called the House of Israel.

THE “ONE TRIBE”
• Now the prophet mentioned "12 pieces," and then said
that he would give "one tribe" to Solomon. Solomon
was of the tribe of Judah. He Reigned over Judah, then
Israel joined Judah to become one nation, see 2
Samuel 2-5. So who is this one tribe? THE TRIBE OF
BENJAMIN!
• I Kings 11:36 ”I WILL GIVE ONE TRIBE TO HIS SON SO THAT
DAVID MY SERVANT MAY ALWAYS HAVE A
LAMP BEFORE ME IN JERUSALEM, the city where I
chose to put my Name.” was FULFILLED BECAUSE THE
TEMPLE WAS IN JERUSALEM AND JERUSALEM WAS IN
THE TRIBE OF BENJAMIN, and the temple always had
light 24-7!
• So David “always had light before God IN JERUSALEM”.
• SO BENJAMIN WAS THE LIGHT-BEARING TRIBE!

DAVID WILL ALWAYS HAVE LIGHT BECAUSE THE
TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, WHICH IS IN THE
TERRITORY OF BENJAMIN, ALWAYS HAD LIGHT

WHEN THE TEMPLE LATER WAS
DESTROYED, WHO REBUILT IT?
• Testimony of Ezra: God "stirred up the spirit" of King Cyrus the
Great so he would permit the Jews to "build Him [God] a house at
Jerusalem which is in JUDAH" (Ezra 1:1-2). But which tribes of Israel
returned at that time to help build the Temple at Jerusalem?
• "Then the heads of the fathers' houses of JUDAH and BENJAMIN,
and the priests and the LEVITES... arose to go up and build the
house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem" (v. 5).
• A careful study of the rest of this book clearly reveals that those
Israelites who were mentioned were only from the tribes of JUDAH,
BENJAMIN and LEVI. These tribes ARE ISRAELITES, but not
all ISRAELITES ARE JEWS. These three tribes make up the southern
kingdom of JUDAH!
• After Judah went into captivity, a contingent of Benjaminites
returned with the Jews to rebuild the Temple and Jerusalem (Ezra
1:5, Nehemiah 11:3-4). Scripture (especially, the books of Ezra and
Nehemiah) and the brilliant Jewish historian, Flavius Josephus (c.
37-100 A.D.) tells us that some came back to Jerusalem from
captivity, but many stayed back.

The witness of Ezra
• In Ezra 10:5 Ezra calls "all Israel" to swear an oath. Who is
"all Israel" according to Ezra? All of Israel, was the Israel
that was THERE AT THAT TIME!
• In verse 9 you read who gathered together for that oath,
"...the men of JUDAH AND BENJAMIN GATHERED AT
JERUSALEM..." This is "all Israel," the tribes that were there
at that time!
• Now these Jews who went back to the promised land were
not all of the captivity. A large portion of Jews stayed
behind. "Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and
Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with
all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the
house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem" (Ezra 1:5; Neh
11:3-4).
• IN THE LAST DAYS, THE CHRISTIANS WITH THESE TRIBAL
ANOINTINGS ARE WHOM THE LORD WILL USE AGAIN TO
“REBUILD HIS TEMPLE”

EVEN IN THE TABERNACLE CAMP SET UP,
BENJAMIN WAS TO GUARD THE
TABERNACLE
• JUDAH WAS THE
FORWARD TRIBE,
LEADING ISRAEL TO
WAR
• BENJAMIN WAS THE
HEAD OF THE REAR
GUARD OF THE
TABERNACLE, WITH HIS
BROTHERS EPHRAIM
AND MANASSEH,
ENSURING THE SAFETY
OF THE TABERNACLE

IN THE TIME OF JESUS, WHOSE TRIBE
WAS USED MIGHTILY?
• Where did Benjamin end up in the promised land? Nehemiah reveals that
Benjamin dwelt to the north of Judah, Neh 11:31-35. Eventually however,
"The territory of Benjamin lay to the north of Judah’s portion and adjacent
to it. In course of time, as the population greatly
increased, the Benjamites spread still further north into
Galilee a much larger tract of land beyond the
Samaritans, whilst Judah expanded into Benjamin’s
original small piece of territory in addition to retaining
their own portion.
• So, in Christ’s day, we find Palestine divided into three provinces-(I) Judea
in the south, wherein dwelt the Tribe of Judah, the real Jews. (2) Samaria
in the middle, which was occupied by the Samaritans. (3) Galilee in the
north, inhabited by the Tribe of Benjamin, who were then generally
called Galileans
• Jesus was a Jew, of the tribe of Judah, (Rev 5:5; John 4:9). And the Bible
says, "He came unto his own, and his own received him not." (John 1:11).
The Jews of Judah rejected him, but the Galileans received him gladly,
DURING HIS BOYHOOD YEARS, AND MOST OF HIS 3 1/2 MINISTRY, HE
SPENT IT IN GALILEE, IN BENJAMIN'S LAND.

WHO WERE THE DISCIPLES OF JESUS?
• This MAP shows
the RETURN of
the Southern
Kingdom after
the Babylonian
captivity
• The tribe of
Judah returned
to Judea, the
tribe of Benjamin
settled in Galilee
• HERE IS
THE
SHOCKER
…

ALL THE 12 APOSTLES WERE
ALL BENJAMINITES!
EXCEPT ONE!
JUDAS ISCARIOT, OF THE TRIBE OF
JUDAH!!! (a type of the ANTI-CHRIST)

This is according to the Temple
Dictionary of the Bible
• Now, the disciples, when commissioned to preach the Gospel, at Pentecost, DID
NOT THE "JEWS" OF JUDAH AND OTHERS AREAS SAY, "BEHOLD, ARE NOT ALL
THESE WHICH SPEAK GALILAEANS?" (ACTS 2:5,7).
• Many knew the difference between the Jews of Judah and the Benjaminites. When
Peter denied Christ, one said to Him, "Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a
Galilaean, and thy speech agreeth thereto." (Mark 14:70). Their speech, and his
looks were different than the Jews from Judah. The people of Benjamin would look
more like their brother Joseph than Judah.
• "Dean Farrar states that all the Twelve Apostles of Christ, with only one exception,
were of the Tribe of Benjamin, and that one exception was of the Tribe of Judah,
viz., Judas Iscariot, the only one that proved un faithful. The 'Temple Dictionary of
the Bible,' under the caption 'Galilee' states that eleven of Christ’s chosen
Apostles (i.e., all of them except Judas Iscariot) were Galileans-the terms
Benjamites and Galileans being synonymous. But Judas Iscariot’s place was
eventually filled by a Benjamite, hence, in the end, all the twelve chosen Apostles of
Christ were Galileans (Benjamites) as stated in Acts 2,7. " (ibid, footnote, p.10,
emphasis added). The Apostle Paul as well was of the tribe of Benjamin (Rom 11:1;
Philippians 3:5). The people of Benjamin were lent to Judah, and were part of the
Kingdom of Judah, therefore called "Jews" nationally, but racially were not Jews!
But as we can see now, God chose the tribe of Benjamin to bear the light of the
Gospel for Jesus' (David's seed) sake to Israel, fulfilling the prophecy of 1 Kings 11&
12.

LAST POINT: BENJAMIN PROVOKES
JOSEPH TO REVEAL HIMSELF!!
Genesis 42 – famine in Israel, sons of Jacob go to
Egypt
Genesis 43 – they return to buy more grain
Genesis 44 – Joseph (now Prime Minister in Egypt)
TESTS HIS BROTHERS by putting his silver cup in
Benjamin’s sack, and proposes to detain him
Judah makes an offer to be insurance for Benjamin,
only to have Benjamin return to Jacob their
father

THE GENESIS 45 DRAMA
Joseph Makes Himself Known
• 1 Then Joseph could no longer control himself before all his
attendants, and he cried out, "Have everyone leave my
presence!" So there was no one with Joseph when he made
himself known to his brothers.
• 2 And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and
Pharaoh's household heard about it.
• 3 Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still
living?"
• 14Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and
wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping.
• 15 And he kissed all his brothers and wept over
them. Afterward his brothers talked with him.

THE BENJAMINITE ANOINTING WILL
REVEAL YESHUA HAMASHIA TO THE
JEWS WHO THOUGHT JESUS THEIR
BROTHER WAS DEAD!!
• Christians,
including
Filipinos with
the Benjaminite
anointing, will
have a burden
to preach the
gospel to the
Jews that they
may receive
YESHUA AS
THEIR
MESSIAH, LORD
AND SAVIOUR!!

THE FINAL ESCHATOLOGICAL LESSON!
BENJAMIN was guaranteed by the life of his brother
Judah (as type of the sacrificial lamb)
JOSEPH (a type of the soon and coming King Christ),
CANNOT PREVENT HIMSELF FROM REVEALING
HIMSELF TO HIS BROTHER HE LOVES (Benjamin)
(Genesis 45)
AND THEN REVEALS HIMSELF TO ALL HIS
BROTHERS.
THE END-TIME BENJAMIN TRIBE WILL REVEAL
JESUS TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.

THE BENJAMINITES in Biblical history:
Scripture shows that at least four great people came from Benjamin’s
tribe, even though it was the smallest of the twelve tribes (1
Samuel 9:21).
1. EHUD, a great warrior who delivered Israel from Moab (Judges
3:12-30).
2. Next, SAUL becomes the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 9:15-27).
3. In later Jewish history, while captives in Persia, God used
MORDECHAI and ESTHER to deliver the Jews from death, and
they, too, came from this tribe (Esther 2:5-7).
4. Finally, in the New Testament the apostle PAUL affirms he, too,
came from Benjamin. “I say then, has God cast away His people?
Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham,
of the tribe of Benjamin” (Romans 11:1). He repeats this
affirmation in Philippians 3:4-5.
5. The 12 apostles?

There will be two TWO Benjaminites in
the last days,
personified by the two great Sauls:
• 1. King Saul, the epitome of the sin nature and its
war against God – was given a kingdom and lost it
• 2. Saul/Paul whose nature was changed by God
from a murderous Pharisee to the Apostle of
grace. Paul is the example of what He does for
those who come to Christ in faith – was given the
task of building God’s Kingdom

THE SALVATION OF THE BENJAMINITES
• “O ye children of Benjamin, gather yourselves to flee out of
the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the trumpet in Tekoa,
and set up a sign of fire in Beth-haccerem: for evil
appeareth out of the north, and great destruction...Behold,
a people cometh from the north country, and a great nation
shall be raised from the sides of the earth.
• "They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they are cruel, and
have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they
ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee,
O daughter of Zion." (JER 6:1, 22-23).
• The King of the North as indicated by Daniel is the Roman
Empire that would exist at the time of Jesus, (see Daniel
11:30-35). At that time God would, "set watchmen over
you, saying, Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they
said, We will not hearken." (Jer 6.v.17).

The BENJAMINITE IN THE LAST DAYS
• Jesus told the church to "Watch," and "pray" always, because, "As
for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there
shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."
(Luke 21:6). This was the siege of Jerusalem Jesus spoke of. The church
warned Judah, Levi and Benjamin fulfilling Jeremiahs prophecy, but
Judah and Levi did not heed.
• Now even before the siege, Titus allowed people to escape, "for Titus let a
great number of them go away into the country, whither they
pleased." (Jewish War 5:10:1) The followers of Jesus who were
Galilean/Benjamites obeyed and fled to Pella, migrating eventually to
Asia Minor to join their fellow Benjamites.
BECAUSE OF THIS, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE CHRISTIAN
WITH THE BENJAMINITE ANNOINTING WILL BE
SENSITIVE TO GOD’S CALL TO FLEE A CERTAIN PLACE
BEFORE IT IS DESTROYED IN THE LAST DAYS.

THE FUTURE
• The time is coming called "Jacob's Trouble" the Great
Tribulation. At that time all Israel will be in slavery and
captivity. "But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and
there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall
possess their possessions." (Obadiah 17). The 144,000 will
be with Christ on MT. Zion (Rev 14:1). 12,000 of those will
be of the tribe of Benjamin (Normans of Iceland, Normandy
and Quebecois). During this second Exodus,
"Benjamin shall possess Gilead." (v.19). These 12,000 will
"follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth" (Rev 14:4). They
will rule with Christ, over Israel in the promised land. The
rest of the tribe of Benjamin will receive the land
promised to them. These will be an example to other
nations, and live under the ruler-ship of Christ.

SUMMARY OF THE
BENJAMINITE ANOINTING!
1. THE SON OF MY RIGHT HAND
2. YET WILLING TO FIGHT LEFT HANDED!
3. WILL FIGHT with fellow warrior LIKE A WOLF
AGAINST SATAN THE BEAST!
4. AND RELEASE HIS CAPTIVES!

provides blessings for ever
more)
3. Loved by his brother Judah
