MINISTRIES RAKED OVER THE COALS

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Dutch, British flood fears ease after surge passes By Niclas Mika Fri Nov 9, 7:48 AM ET

HEADLAND NEAR ROZENBURG, Netherlands (Reuters) - The Netherlands and Britain closed sea defense barriers, airlifted hundreds of North Sea oil rig workers and evacuated thousands of people as wind-driven storm swells coincided with high tides. The Dutch coast and the east of England were hit in the early hours of Friday, but no major flooding was reported and North Sea oil production was starting up again.The surge did not breach the storm barrier near Rotterdam, although Europe's biggest port, which is a major transit point for oil and other commodities, was expected to stay shut to shipping until the evening despite the tides receding.About 60 ships will be affected as result of the barrier, built in the 1990s, being closed for the first time.
The oil and gas workers were airlifted from North Sea platforms after forecasters predicted 20-metre (66 foot) waves in the open sea and strong winds. At least nine platforms producing several hundred thousands barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) were shut down.

StatoilHydro, the biggest operator in the Norwegian part of the North Sea, said on Friday that production had been hit less than feared and fields were restarting.In the Netherlands, some sea defenses were being reopened while in Britain police said flood defenses had been breached in Great Yarmouth in eastern England, but there was no danger to homes. A few surfers in wet suits tried to catch a wave as the sun rose.

NO LONGER HIGH TIDE

Further surges were expected south along the coast towards Kent, in the south east, and London, but they would not coincide with high tide. The Thames barrier protecting the capital was closed on Thursday.Dutch officials reported minimal flooding after water levels peaked at 3.16 meters above mean sea level on the south coast. Floods in 1953, that killed over 2,000 people, peaked at 3.85 meters in the Netherlands and 3.28 meters in Britain.Dutch forecasters predicted continuing storms along the coast with wind gusts of more than 100 km per hour (62 mph).A spokesman for Britain's Environment Agency said Friday's tides peaked at 2.75 meters above normal compared with fears they would reach 3 meters.
You can say that you're through the worst of it, but vigilance is the word. It is still wild and windy out there, a he said. The difference between now and 1958 is we've got far improved flood defense systems and warning systems in place.British police in Norfolk said people in 7,500 homes in the Great Yarmouth area had been advised to leave and more than 200 elderly residents were evacuated from care homes.Hundreds of families moved into school buildings where local authorities said they had room for 3,500 people. Highways and railways to Great Yarmouth were closed.(Additional reporting by Harro ten Wolde, Catherine Hornby in Amsterdam; Tim Castle and Peter Graff in London; Editing by Matthew Jones)

This Week with Rabbi Eckstein
November 9, 2007
Dear Friend of Israel,

On November 9-10, 1938, Jews in Germany endured two nights of terror. It was Kristallnacht the night of broken glass. With the encouragement of the German government, Nazis and their supporters attacked Jews and destroyed synagogues and Jewish-owned homes and businesses. German Jews had suffered under oppressive laws for years. But Kristallnacht was a turning point the beginning in earnest of the Holocaust that ultimately led to the slaughter of millions of European Jews.The Holocaust was a uniquely horrible chapter in human history. But, as we mark this somber anniversary of Kristallnacht, it is important to note that the hatred of Jews that ultimately resulted in the Holocaust is not a thing of the past. I long for the time when I can say that Jews were no longer in danger simply for being Jews. But, sadly, that time is not now. Across the globe, there appears to be a rise in violence against Jews, hateful anti-Semitic rhetoric, and vandalism against Jewish property. Here are just a few of the most recent incidents:

Last week, in what officials described as arson, a Jewish school in Kiev, Ukraine, burned to the ground. The vandals who perpetrated this act had earlier hurled a rock through the window of the school with a note attached that read Death to Jews.In a recent radio address, Alexander Lukashenko, president of the former Soviet republic of Belarus, complained that Jewish residents of the city of Bobruisk turned the city into a pig sty. Twelve years earlier, he spoke admiringly of the Nazi regime that ruled Germany during World War II, saying that the country attained its peak under Hitler.In Wellington, New Zealand, a Jewish cemetery was desecrated for the third time in as many years. Vandals painted anti-Semitic slogans such as Hitler RIP and Terror state Israel burn across gravestones. The Jewish community in suburban Melbourne, Australia, is on alert after two attacks by baseball bat-wielding thugs against Jewish teenagers. While vacationing in Greece last month, a young man from Tel Aviv was beaten by a group of youngsters shouting anti-Semitic slurs.

The incidents above and there have been many more like them in recent months show why those of us who love Israel and are committed to supporting the Jewish people must always be vigilant. What has been called the longest and deepest hatred of human history is not just a historic relic. Tragically, it is alive and well around the globe.Rescuing Jewish people from anti-Semitic oppression is one of the urgent goals of The Fellowship’s On Wings of Eagles program. Since its launch, The Fellowship and its caring partners have helped tens of thousands of Jews return to Israel, the land given to them by God, where they are free to live and openly practice their faith as Jews. On Wings of Eagles also helps them become established as full, productive citizens in Israel.
I thank God for the you and the caring friends of The Fellowship who pray and provide support to help rescue those suffering from the cruel injustice of anti-Semitism through On Wings of Eagles. May you be blessed, as you have blessed His children.

With prayers for shalom, peace,
Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein
President International fellowship of Christians and Jews.

France, Spain and Italy back European Union blue card

09 Nov 2007 bbj.huThe European Commission’s recent proposal for a blue card to attract highly skilled talent from outside the European Union has garnered some unlikely supporters.France, Italy and Spain, the southern EU states most affected by illegal immigration, are backing the plan. We need to have integrated (EU) policies, not only in fighting illegal immigration but also ... to channel in an orderly fashion immigrants who come to work on the EU territory, said Spanish Secretary of State for Migration, Maria Consuelo Rumi Ibanez.France’s ambassador to the EU also praised the blue card as a move forward in attracting highly skilled migrants to the 27-member bloc. Italy also supports the plan. However, Austria kept the proposal at arms length, with Interior Minister Gunter Platter stating that his nation should exercise due caution not to produce unwished for further migratory flows. He said that each EU nations should be responsible in determining the amount of immigration into their countries and that preference should be given to EU workers. Finland Immigration Minister Astrid Thors wondered how a scheme could work which - as one of its main features - allows a highly skilled migrant to move from one EU nation to another, when each EU state wants to control the amount of migration over its borders. Franco Frattini of the European Commission stated that highly skilled migrants only accounted for 0.9% of the EU labor force, compared with 9.9% in Australia and 3.5% in the United States.

The blue card, inspired by the US green card, would require a qualified highly skilled migrant to have a job offer for at least one year, a salary three times the local minimum wage, and health insurance. It would be valid for an renewable period of two years. After two years, a blue card holder could move to another EU state. (workpermit.com)

None dare call it conspiracy
By Hal Lindsey - November 9, 2007 - 1:00 a.m. Eastern

Crude oil prices hit an all-time high this week, closing above $98 a barrel for the first time in history. According to the AAA, many drivers in my home state of California are already paying more than $4 a gallon for regular unleaded gas. And in one town south of Big Sur, unleaded gas topped $5 a gallon. The U.S. dollar is at an all-time low, even when compared against the hapless Canadian loonie. Five years ago, a loonie was worth 60 cents. Today, it's worth $1.12 and climbing. Yesterday, WorldNetDaily reported that the Chinese are considering abandoning the U.S. dollar as their national reserve currency. WND quoted Craig Smith's assessment of the consequences of such a move by Beijing on our economy: If that were to happen, all bets are off, and we will be in a depression that makes 1929 look like child's play, or we will experience Weimar Republic inflation as the dollar makes extreme moves toward devaluations.

On Tuesday, the U.S. national debt topped $9 trillion for the first time in history, according to the U.S. Treasury Department's daily accounting of the national debt. Nine trillion dollars! The number is so staggeringly high that it exceeds our ability to comprehend it in monetary units. Million, billion, trillion – in financial terms, for most of us, it means a lot of money, really a lot of money, but that is about as specific a picture as most ordinary people can grasp. Let's put all these illions into perspective. A million seconds is roughly 12 days, whereas a billion seconds is approximately 32 years. We understand dollars. And we understand time. So it would take 12 days to pay back a million dollars at a dollar a second. But if you started right now, you'd pay back a BILLION dollars, at a dollar a second, in the year 2039. A trillion seconds is roughly 32 thousand years. At a dollar a second, you'd pay back a TRILLION dollars in the year 34007. The U.S. debt stands at $9 trillion. If my calculator is working, then at a dollar a second, the U.S. could be debt- free in the year 290007. The point of that little exercise was two-fold. The first was to clarify the sheer volume of the debt; the second was to demonstrate the possibility that anybody in government really believes we can ever pay it off. Each U.S. citizen's share of the national debt works out, according to the National Debt clock, to $29,947.50. That means the average American family of five owes, collectively, $149,737.50.

It also means that unless the average American family of five has a net worth of at least $149,737,50 in assets excluding liabilities (they don't), America is already bankrupt. Over the past few years, there has been growing public concern about the emerging Security and Prosperity Partnership plan that some say is really a deceptive roadmap to a coming North American Union and a new, unified currency tentatively called the amero.The feds steadfastly deny such a plan exists, even as it opens the borders to Mexican truck traffic, widens the I-35 corridor from Mexico to Canada and, counterintuitively, refuses to tighten the borders with either Mexico or Canada, despite both logic and widespread public demand. All of these things have brought me to believe that powerful forces outside of our government – like the shadowy international Money Trust members of the Bilderberg Group – made a decision to force the formation of the North American Union along with the amero. There decisions have been instituted in the past via the Trilateral Commission, which is the dba for the nefarious Conference on Foreign Relations. Destroying the American dollar could force the crisis that would force the creation of the North American Union. To quote the title of a book of the 1960s era, None Dare Call It Conspiracy.Ordinary Americans may not fully grasp just how dire the true economic picture is, but you can bet our leaders do. Yet from the White House to the Federal Reserve, nobody seems particularly eager to address the issue, preferring instead to talk about the budget, as if the budget WERE the debt, rather than merely a measure of our ability to keep up with our payments on the debt. It is almost as if they already have a Plan B in reserve, ready and waiting to be triumphantly introduced – just in the nick of time. I wonder what it might be?

SATAN CAN ONLY TRY TO DESTROY MINISTRIES BY COMING AGAINST THEIR PROSPERITY. THE WORLD DOES NOT COMPLAIN ABOUT THE RICH SKINFLINTS OF THE WORLD, BUT PROSPER IN A MINISTRY AND YOUR DOOMED. THE BIBLE SAYS THE WEALTH OF THE SINNER IS BUILT UP FOR THE CHRISTIANS SO DON"T WORRY THE TABLES WILL BE TURNED IN THESE LAST DAYS.

Senate Panel Probes 6 Top Televangelists
Sen. Charles Grassley Asks Ministries To Turn Over Financial Records Within One Month Nov. 6, 2007

Senator Charles Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, has asked six televangelist ministries to provide, by Dec. 6th, financial statements and records for an investigation into possible impropriety. (AP)(CBS) This story was written and reported by Laura Strickler of the CBS News Investigative Unit. CBS News has learned Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa, the ranking Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, is investigating six prominent televangelist ministries for possible financial misconduct. Letters were sent Monday to the ministries demanding that financial statements and records be turned over to the committee by December 6th. According to Grassley's office, the Iowa Republican is trying to determine whether or not these ministries are improperly using their tax-exempt status as churches to shield lavish lifestyles. The six ministries identified as being under investigation by the committee are led by: Paula White, Joyce Meyer, Creflo Dollar, Eddie Long, Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn. Three of the six - Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar - also sit on the Board of Regents for the Oral Roberts University.

A spokesperson for Joyce Meyer Ministries provided CBS News with an IRS letter to the ministry dated October 10, 2007, that stated: We determined that you continue to qualify as an organization exempt from Federal income tax. The letter could not be independently verified in time for this story. The ministry also pointed to audited financial statements for the last three years that are posted on the organization's Web site. In a statement, Benny Hinn's spokesperson, Ronn Torossian, said the ministry is in the process of determining the best course of action in response to the Senate investigation. World Healing Center Church complies with the laws that govern church and non-profit organizations and will continue to do so, Torossian wrote. Eddie Long's New Birth Ministries says he has received the request for information from the U.S. Senate and plans to fully comply. New Birth Ministries has several safeguards put in place to ensure all transactions are in compliance with laws applicable to churches.In a statement to CBS News, Creflo Dollar called his ministry an open book and said he would comply with any valid request from Grassley. But he noted that the inquiry raised questions that could affect the privacy of every community church in America.Paula White is also expressing concern about precedents that could be set by turning over the requested information. We take our financial responsibilities to our partners very seriously and to the best of our knowledge we comply with all tax laws. Our audited financial statements appear on our website, said White, in a statement. However, we are concerned about the possible precedent and ramifications of this request. We will be reviewing the request and its implications in detail over the coming weeks as we prepare our response.Because they have tax status as churches, the ministries do not have to file IRS 990 forms like other non-profit organizations - leaving much financial information largely behind closed doors.

The letters sent Monday were the culmination of a long investigation fueled in part by complaints from Ole Anthony, a crusader against religious fraud who operates the Dallas-based Trinity Foundation, which describes itself as a watchdog monitoring religious media, fraud and abuse. We've been working with them for two years, Anthony told CBS News. We have furnished them with enough information to fill a small Volkswagen.Anthony said after twenty years of working with media organizations to expose televangelists, he saw little reform. He says that's why he turned to another tactic, going straight to Grassley. He is confident that Grassley's inquiry will be different, What we hope is that this will lead to reform in religious nonprofits.The structure of many televangelist organizations - in which the leadership is often concentrated in one person or one family - has itself been the target of criticism. Churches like these are ruled as a dictatorship, says Rod Pitzer, who directs research at Ministry Watch in North Carolina, which provides advice for donors to Christian organizations. Pitzer welcomes the Senate committee investigation. Ministries lacking accountability, he says, give a black eye to churches and Christians who are trying to do things in the right manner.By Laura Strickler © MMVII, CBS Interactive Inc.

REVELATION 17:1-2
1 And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.(VATICAN IN POLITICS)

IM NOT IMPRESED WITH THIS STORY TONY BLAIR WILL BE CONVERTING TO CATHLCISM OUCH.

Tony Blair will covert to Catholic faith within weeks
08.11.07

Tony Blair is preparing to convert to Roman Catholicism within weeks, it emerged last night. The news prompted demands from followers of the faith for the former prime minister to renounce his previous support for abortion. Mr Blair's long-expected switch to the faith of his wife and four children is expected to come at a Mass in the private chapel of Cardinal Cormac Murphy- O'Connor, the leader of Roman Catholics in England and Wales. The Catholic newspaper The Tablet says the service of conversion will take place this month. Mr Blair has regularly attended Catholic services in recent years, both with his family and alone. He has also visited Pope Benedict XVI and his predecessor John Paul II.

The Tablet said Mr Blair has received instruction from two priests, RAF chaplain John Walsh and Father Mark O'Toole, the cardinal's secretary. A candidate for reception into the Catholic Church is usually received by their parish priest. The cardinal's involvement, as Archbishop of Westminster, would suggest Mr Blair's process of conversion began while he was in Downing Street. Mr Blair's spokesman did not deny the report, saying: This is the same old speculation, but a friend said it was not without substance. News of the imminent move drew calls from leading Catholics for Mr Blair to renounce his backing in Parliament for abortion up to 24 weeks. Tory MP Ann Widdecombe, who converted to Catholicism over her opposition to women priests in the Church of England, said: I hope we will get a public statement repudiating his votes on abortion. Indeed, the Church will require it. The Church requires that we say at the point of reception that everything the Church teaches is revealed truth. There's no hedging.

Mr Blair has taken a very public stand on the matter of abortion, and the Church stand being very publicly different, we are entitled to know what he now thinks. Without that, it cannot possibly be a serious move.As premier, Mr Blair clashed frequently with Catholic leaders over his liberal attitudes to gay rights and other issues.

• Roman Polanski is to make the film version of The Ghost, a novel about a disgraced former premier which author Robert Harris admits was inspired by Mr Blair. Mr Harris was once a trusted friend of Mr Blair, but they fell out over the invasion of Iraq.

Mideast religious leaders say they vital to peace
Wed Nov 7, 2007

WASHINGTON, Nov 7 (Reuters) - In an unusual joint appearance, senior Israeli and Palestinian religious leaders said on Wednesday they were not a roadblock to peace in the Middle East but a vital part of the process.Dressed in traditional religious garb, the chief rabbis of Israel sat alongside Muslim leaders and Christian patriarchs and said they had agreed on steps to help resolve the conflict.It is our responsibility to find the right way to live together in peace rather than to fight and kill one another, the leaders, who make up the Council of Religious Institutions of the Holy Land, said in a joint statement.The leaders said they had agreed that each religious community should respect other faiths' holy sites. They said they wanted to set up a hot line of rapid communication among the groups to deal with issues of protection and access to holy sites to avoid clashes.They also said they wanted to demonstrate through their relations that differences could be addressed through dialogue, not violence.This opportunity and this interfaith dialogue can really much help in moving the peace process forward, said Salah Zuhayka, assistant secretary of the Palestinian Ministry of Religious Affairs.

While they had not reached any agreement on the status of Jerusalem, the council agreed to seek a common vision for this city which all of us regard as holy.The statement was issued during a gathering of the council in Washington, where they were also meeting with U.S. lawmakers.Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the former Roman Catholic archbishop of Washington, said the united front should help in the quest for peace.This gathering here today is really proof that it is important for political leaders to recognize and to take comfort in the fact that the religious leaders are on their side in working for peace, McCarrick told a news conference.The meeting of religious leaders comes weeks before a Middle East conference with Israelis and Palestinians was expected to take place in Annapolis, Maryland.We are not a problem. We are part of the solution, said Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah, the Catholic Church's leader in the Holy Land.We are here to say no political solution can work without the religious dimension. To ignore it is a guarantee that it will fail, said Rabbi David Rosen of the American Jewish Committee, who spoke on behalf of the chief rabbis of Israel.

JERUSALEM DIVIDED

ZECHARIAH 12:1-5 King James Bible
1 The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him.
2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah and against Jerusalem.
3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.
4 In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness.
5 And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

JOEL 3:2
2 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

Rabbis slam Jerusalem share plan
09/11/2007 By Mordechai Beck Jerusalem

The prospect of Israel returning parts of Jerusalem to Arab control has sparked widespread dismay in the Orthodox world. Israel’s Deputy Premier, Haim Ramon, recently suggested that the ceding of all-Arab neighbourhoods in the city to the Palestinian Authority could be on the agenda of the forthcoming Annapolis peace talks. But Orthodox rabbis have been lining up to condemn the very thought of compromise over the city, whose sanctity to the Jewish people they consider of such transcendent value that it brooks no argument.Around 100 strictly Orthodox rabbis recited special prayers in the Old City’s Ramban synagogue last month in order to rescind what the influential Charedi leader Rabbi Yosef Shalom Eliyashiv bewailed as the dreadful decree. Pikuach Nefesh, a rabbinic organisation claiming 1,200 members in Israel and abroad, has also bid them to speak out against Ramon’s proposals. Rabbi Yakov Yosef, of Jerusalem, urging others to join a call for the minister to resign, accused him of attempting to steal from the people of Israel the remnants of our Holy Temple.Rabbi Yosef Gorelitsky, who chairs Pikuach Nefesh, also weighed in: In addition to the desecration of the Temple Mount, [Ramon’s] plan will lead directly –– Heaven forfend –– to the spilling of Jewish blood throughout the land. Does anyone have any doubt that every centimetre handed over to the Palestinians will become the base for yet more terror?

Rabbi David Druckman, Chief Rabbi of Kiryat Motskin, near Haifa, hoped the government will wake up and change the direction of the horrendous path upon which it is marching, and take a firm stand regarding the borders of the Holy Land; this is the only way to receive God’s promised blessing of peace.Eli Yishai, head of Shas, the Sephardi Orthodox party, and a member of Israel’s ruling coalition, was adamant that Jerusalem is not for negotiation… He who begins by relinquishing Shu’afat, and Anata [Arab neighbourhoods in East Jerusalem] will end up with a foreign rule over Rehavia [a particularly plush district in West Jerusalem].
Rabbi Daniel Sperber, a British-born professor at Bar Ilan University, and a resident of the Old City, emphasised the consequences of previous concessions by Israeli governments. The Oslo Accords of 1993 led to the second intifada, and the withdrawal from Gush Katif has encouraged the endless rocket attacks from Gaza, he argued: Why would a withdrawal from part of Jerusalem be any different?

Protests have also come from beyond Israel. The leaders of America’s mainstream Orthodox organisation, the Orthodox Union, told Israel’s Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in a letter that they were mandated to undertake all efforts that are necessary to secure and maintain Yerushalayim as the eternal and undivided capital of the State of Israel.One of the few Orthodox rabbis who could be said to support Mr Ramon’s suggestions is fellow MK Rabbi Michael Melchior (Labour-Meimad), a former Minister for Diaspora Affairs. But even he has reservations about the Deputy Prime Minister’s plans for the Old City and the Temple Mount.His proposals mostly repeat those accepted by the government in 2001, Rabbi Melchior said. These divide East Jerusalem between Israel and the PA, and place the holy sites under the aegis of the appropriate religious authority, with no national flags in sight. I see no reason why not to continue to accept this now. Obviously there has to be a creative solution for the Old City, a special type of jurisprudence to govern it.But other rabbis strike a more ominous note. Rabbi Shimon Naftalis, a Lubavitcher, who professes little faith in politicians, says: They say one thing today, and another tomorrow. They talk and talk but in the end they give everything away. This is even more true of Likud. Ramon in Kadima is basically a Likudnik. I’m very pessimistic. The Satmarer Rebbe [the late Rabbi Yoel Teitenbaum] predicted that the secular Zionist state would fall apart in this manner. I think the Arabs have already won and it’s only a question of time before the state disappears.

LUKE 19:37-40
37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the descent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen;
38 Saying, Blessed be the King that cometh in the name of the Lord: peace in heaven, and glory in the highest.
39 And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples.
40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.

2,000 year old tunnel discovered in Jerusalem
Dennis Rodriquez - 11/7/07 Section:

Technology is taking the world into the future at warp speed and yet the past will not be left behind. Recently, the Associated Press reported that archaeologists, under the auspices of the Israel Antiquities Authority, discovered a tunnel while looking for ancient Jerusalem's main road. In the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, Nadav Shragai quoted archaeologists Roni Reich and Eli Shukrun as confirming that this was the tunnel that Flavius Josephus, eyewitness to the city's siege, occupation, and destruction, had recorded as a place of refuge for the Jewish people.After three years of fierce and courageous resistance, the city of Jerusalem fell to the Roman armies, who in turn leveled the city to its foundations. This included tearing down the center of Jewish life, the Temple.In the Bible, Jesus had prophesied that this destruction would take place approximately 40 years prior to its occurrence.

The year was 70 A.D. and the Romans enslaved or slaughtered many of the Jewish inhabitants. Some escaped into a water drainage tunnel under the city's main road where they hid before fleeing through the city's southern gate.Pottery shards and coins, dating from the Second Temple period, which coincided with the period of the city's destruction, were found in the tunnel.The 70 meter section that was unearthed is located between the Temple Mount and the Pool of Siloam. It is believed that the tunnel connects to another major tunnel in the Western wall area and reaches down to the Kidron River. The tunnel passes through the Jewish Quarter of the Old City and the western part of the City of David.Important simply on its existence, the tunnel attests to the intelligence, ingenuity, and long-standing presence of the Jewish people in the land of Israel and in Jerusalem in particular.

13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.

EZEKIEL 20:47
47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a fire in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming flame shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

ZEPHANIAH 1:18
18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

MALACHI 4:1
1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.

HALF OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE DURING THE 7 YR TRIBULATION.(THESE VERSES ARE JUDGEMENT SCRIPTURES NOT RAPTURE SCRIPTURES)

LUKE 17:34-37
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).

MATTHEW 24:37-51
37 But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
40 Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
45 Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
46 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
47 Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
48 But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
49 And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
50 The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
51 And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Israel gets US aid for anti-missile system Thu Nov 8, 10:24 AM ET

JERUSALEM (AFP) - The United States has given Israel 155 million dollars to develop an advanced missile interception system, Defence Minister Ehud Barak's office said in a statement on Thursday. The money, which Congress approved on Wednesday, will help advance the development of a multi-layered anti-missile system that Barak presented to his US counterpart Robert Gates in Washington last month, the statement said.The system, dubbed David's Sling, is intended to counter projectiles ranging from rudimentary rockets of the sort frequently used by Gaza militants to long-range missiles like those in the arsenal of Israel's arch foe Iran.Israel has already successfully tested and deployed its Arrow anti-missile system, jointly developed with the United States, which is said to be able to deflect most missile strikes against the Jewish state.Widely seen as the region's sole if undeclared nuclear power, Israel considers Iran its chief enemy after repeated statements from President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the Jewish state should be wiped off the map.

PA Document Demands 6-Month Max on Final Status Talks

(IsraelNN.com) The Palestinian Authority is demanding a ceiling of six months on final status talks to take place following the Middle East summit to be held in Annapolis.According to PA sources quoted by Haaretz, a document prepared recently by the PA insists that the guarantee be written into the joint statement with Israel to be signed at the summit.U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice already informed PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) that America will veto the demand.

Post-enlargement stress
Nov 8th 2007 From The Economist print edition
Support for European Union expansion is under new threat
Illustration by Peter Schrank

EVEN by the standards of Brussels, where rhetoric and reality lead separate lives, this week has been jarring. The highlight, on November 6th, was the unveiling by the European Commission of its annual reports on the countries next in line for European Union membership. Over the years, the commission has tried to make the accession process as technocratic as possible, in the hope that procedural momentum can carry it over political potholes. As usual, this year's reports had a deadpan tone, mixing nicely understated criticism (in Croatia, the concept of conflict of interest is little understood) with slightly alarming praise (complaints about torture in Turkey are down, Albania has a handy new law aimed at instigators of blood feuds).An accompanying strategy paper was more stirring, reminding national governments why it is important to keep the door open. EU expansion has made Europe more democratic and stable, reunited a once-divided continent and injected competitiveness into a block only patchily prepared for globalisation. But then came the jarring moment, as breaking news intruded.

Even as enlargement bosses were making the case for offering EU citizenship to millions of Turks, as well as Croats and other Balkan inhabitants in the medium to long term, other officials were dealing with events in Italy, where the government has passed a decree to permit the expulsion of EU immigrants deemed a threat to public order. Commission officials confirmed that an EU citizen's freedom to travel can be trumped in this way, as long as expulsions do not target whole ethnic groups or nationalities. Even that proviso looked threadbare when grim-faced Italian police, backed by bulldozers, swept through shanty towns full of Romanians. Giuliano Amato, Italy's interior minister, said that the EU's rules on free movement were inadequate in the face of the arrival of 500,000 Romanians.Enlargement already conjures up scary images for many: factories being moved east in search of low-cost labour, cheap workers (Polish plumbers) moving west, gripes about new members being too pro-American and too quick to provoke Russia. If it comes to be associated with uncontrolled migration, that will have serious consequences.In a 2006 opinion poll, for example, British voters narrowly backed the entry of Turkey by 42-39%, even though this prospect gives others the vapours (81% of Austrians were against, said the same poll). British ministers have long led the camp making the strategic case for Turkey's admission (often in vain, as many in Brussels assume that British enthusiasm is just a ploy to widen the club to the point of irrelevance, following the principle that one can also kill a cat with cream). Yet even in Britain the ground may be shifting, as the press fills with shrill stories about new migrants from central and eastern Europe. For years, Neil O'Brien, director of a Eurosceptic campaign outfit, Open Europe, has asked British focus groups what the words European Union bring to mind. In the past, the reply has usually been red tape and gravy trains. But his most recent focus group offered a new word: immigration.

One does not, in any case, have to be an opponent of enlargement to feel uneasy about the countries now waiting in line. Turkey and the remaining Balkan candidates are hard cases: that is why they are still in the queue. The easy bits of the ex-communist world—fast-growing countries run by former dissidents or suave businessmen, their capitals filled with gems of Hanseatic or Habsburg architecture—joined the club in 2004. There is also a belief that, to quote a diplomat, Romania and Bulgaria came in too soon, and have been sliding away from reforms ever since. Admittedly, there have been problems absorbing new countries in the past—Greece and Portugal, for instance. But the process is more demanding now that the EU does so much. In the old days, new members were pressed to catch up economically and open their markets in exchange for dollops of aid. Now they must aim for membership of the single currency (Slovenia already uses the euro) and the border-free Schengen area (set to expand next month). The police and courts in all EU members are under closer scrutiny, thanks to the push for mutual recognition of each others' court judgments, and such new wheezes as the Europe-wide arrest warrant.

The grand bargain

The strategy for Turkey and the Balkans has so far meant avoiding two bad options: either letting new countries in too soon, or pushing entry so far off that they give up on reforms and turn their backs on Europe. This strategy has been pursued by means of a grand bargain: the EU gets to impose tough, painful conditions for entry, in return for being believed when it says that eventual membership is the destination. Alas, too many national governments have been muddling both messages.Thus France's president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has said that Turkey should never join the EU, and indeed hinted that any further enlargement is by no means inevitable (although a committee on French constitutional reform chaired by a former prime minister, Edouard Balladur, recently recommended scrapping a provision dreamt up by Mr Sarkozy's predecessor, Jacques Chirac, to put any EU enlargement after Croatia to French voters). On the other hand, there have also been mixed messages about the entry conditions. Croatia is not really ready to join, says one official (organised crime remains a big concern). But it will probably get the nod by 2010 or so, thanks to its friends in the Habsburg club of countries formerly in the Austro-Hungarian empire.The EU gets into its worst pickles when the gap between rhetoric and reality becomes too wide. Over enlargement, that moment may be near. The grand bargain with applicants is wobbling, and the pact of trust with EU citizens is in bad shape. Political leaders need to give this closer attention. Or it will not only be Brussels that is jarred by breaking news.

THE 12 TRIBES FOREVER IN ISRAEL

THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL

JEREMIAH 23:5-8
5 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.
6 In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.
7 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
8 But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land.

EZEKIEL 34:22-24
22 Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd.
24 And I the LORD will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them; I the LORD have spoken it.

In Flavius Josephus' Antiquities of the Jews (11.5.2.133) he describes the location of the 10 tribes as follows: The entire body of the people of Israel remained in that country (Persia)(IRAN-IRAQ) wherefore there are but two tribes in Asia and Europe subject to the Romans, while the 10 tribes are beyond Euphrates till now, and are an immense multitude, and not to be estimated by numbers.

If the Ten lost tribes still exist as the Bible's Prophecies affirm, then were have they been during the last several thousand years? Various Cults and odd religious groups have tried to identify these lost tribes as (1) the British-Israelite movement , or (2) the American Indian tribes, or other equally fanciful guesses. The evidence offered by these cults for identifying the ten tribes with these groups is totally without scholarly foundation. There is no historical evidence that credibly connects the lost tribes with either Britian or the American Indians. The prophet Hosea declared.

HOSEA 3:4-5
4 For the children of Israel shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without teraphim:
5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days.

WHY NOT BRITISH, AMERICAN INDIANS

GENESIS 17:13-14
13 He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised: and my covenant shall be in your flesh for an everlasting covenant.
14 And the uncircumcised man child whose flesh of his foreskin is not circumcised, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he hath broken my covenant.

HERES SOME PLACES THAT THE TEN TRIBES COULD BE IN.

12 Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.(China)

EZEKIEL 37:19-22
19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand.
20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes.
21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.

JEREMIAH 3:17-18
17 At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of the LORD; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the imagination of their evil heart.
18 In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance unto your fathers.

ISAIAH 27:12-13
12 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall beat off from the channel of the river unto the stream of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.

ISAIAH 11:12
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

ISAIAH 63:16-19
16 Doubtless thou art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting.
17 O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
18 The people of thy holiness have possessed it but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
19 We are thine: thou never barest rule over them; they were not called by thy name.

ZECHARIAH 10:6-10
6 And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them again to place them; for I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the LORD their God, and will hear them.
7 And they of Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see it, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.
8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
9 And I will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again.
10 I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them.

ACTS 26:6-7
6 And now I stand and am judged for the hope of the promise made of God, unto our fathers:
7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, instantly serving God day and night, hope to come. For which hope's sake, king Agrippa, I am accused of the Jews.

JAMES 1:1
1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.

WE SEE SACRIFICES FOR THE 12 TRIBES HERE IN EZRA

EZRA 6:16-17
16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the dedication of this house of God with joy.
17 And offered at the dedication of this house of God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and for a sin offering for all Israel, twelve he goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

EZRA 8:35
35 Also the children of those that had been carried away, which were come out of the captivity, offered burnt offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he goats for a sin offering: all this was a burnt offering unto the LORD.

ISRAEL SHALL DWELL ALONE

NUMBERS 23:8-10
8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?
9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations.
10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel?

I FIND THIS INTERESTING JACOB OR ISRAEL HAD TO WORK 7 YEARS FOR LEAH AND ANOTHER 7 YEARS FOR RACHEL IN CONNECTION WITH THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL. IS THIS TELLING US THE REFORMING OF THE 12 TRIBES WILL OCCUR DURING THE 70TH WEEK OF DANIELS PROPHECY OR THE 7 YEAR PEACE TREATY OF DANIEL 9:24-27.

GENESIS 29:21-30
21 And Jacob said unto Laban, Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in unto her.
22 And Laban gathered together all the men of the place, and made a feast.
23 And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter, and brought her to him; and he went in unto her.
24 And Laban gave unto his daughter Leah Zilpah his maid for an handmaid.
25 And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
26 And Laban said, It must not be so done in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
27 Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years.
28 And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also.
29 And Laban gave to Rachel his daughter Bilhah his handmaid to be her maid.
30 And he went in also unto Rachel, and he loved also Rachel more than Leah, and served with him yet seven other years.

DANIEL 9:24-27
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people (ISRAEL) and upon thy holy city,(JERUSALEM) to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks,(7X7=49 YRS) and threescore and two weeks:(62X7=434 YRS) the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come (ROMANS IN AD 70) shall destroy the city and the sanctuary;(TEMPLE) and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. (69x7=483 YRS TO THIS POINT, THE FINAL 7 YR TREATY IS IN THE NEXT VERSE TO FULFILL THE 490 YEARS OF DANIELS PROPHECY.
9:27 And he (THE FUTURE ROMAN PRESIDENT) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,(3RD TEMPLE DESECRATED) and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.(WW3)

THE 12 TRIBES HOW THEY WERE BORN.

GEN 29:31
31 And when the LORD saw that Leah was hated, he opened her womb: but Rachel was barren.

LEAH HAS REUBEN (1)

GEN 29:32
32 And Leah conceived, and bare a son, and she called his name Reuben: for she said, Surely the LORD hath looked upon my affliction; now therefore my husband will love me.

LEAH HAS SIMEON (2)

GEN 29:33
33 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Because the LORD hath heard I was hated, he hath therefore given me this son also: and she called his name Simeon.

LEAH HAS LEVI (3)

GEN 29:34
34 And she conceived again, and bare a son; and said, Now this time will my husband be joined unto me, because I have born him three sons: therefore was his name called Levi.

LEAH HAS JUDAH (4)

GEN 29:35
35 And she conceived again, and bare a son: and she said, Now will I praise the LORD: therefore she called his name Judah; and left bearing.

RACHAEL MAKES JACOB OR ISRAEL HAVE CHILDREN WITH HIS MAID.

GEN 30:1-4
1 And when Rachel saw that she bare Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister; and said unto Jacob, Give me children, or else I die.
2 And Jacob's anger was kindled against Rachel: and he said, Am I in God's stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
3 And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah, go in unto her; and she shall bear upon my knees, that I may also have children by her.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid to wife: and Jacob went in unto her.

LEAH HAS 4 BOYS NOW BILHAH HAS 2 BOYS WITH JACOB OR ISRAEL.

BILHAH HAS DAN (1)

GEN 30:5-6
5 And Bilhah conceived, and bare Jacob a son.
6 And Rachel said, God hath judged me, and hath also heard my voice, and hath given me a son: therefore called she his name Dan.

BILHAH HAS NAPHTALI (2)

GEN 30:7-8
7 And Bilhah Rachel's maid conceived again, and bare Jacob a second son.
8 And Rachel said, With great wrestlings have I wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed: and she called his name Naphtali.

LEAH GIVES JACOB HIS MAID FOR CHILDREN SINCE SHE WENT BARREN.

GEN 30:9
9 When Leah saw that she had left bearing, she took Zilpah her maid, and gave her Jacob to wife.

LEAH HAS 4 BOYS, BILHAH HAS 2 BOYS NOW ZILPAH HAS 2 BOYS WITH JACOB OR ISRAEL.

ZILPAH HAS GAD (1)

GEN 30:10-11
10 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a son.
11 And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.

ZILPAH HAS ASHER (2)

GEN 30:12-13
12 And Zilpah Leah's maid bare Jacob a second son.
13 And Leah said, Happy am I, for the daughters will call me blessed: and she called his name Asher.

THE NEXT SON IS CONCIEVED FROM HARVEST TRADE (INTERESTING)

GEN 30:14-17
14 And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest, and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them unto his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, Give me, I pray thee, of thy son's mandrakes.
15 And she said unto her, Is it a small matter that thou hast taken my husband? and wouldest thou take away my son's mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he shall lie with thee to night for thy son's mandrakes.
16 And Jacob came out of the field in the evening, and Leah went out to meet him, and said, Thou must come in unto me; for surely I have hired thee with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, and she conceived, and bare Jacob the fifth son.

LEAH HAS ANOTHER SON WITH JACOB OR ISRAEL.

LEAH HAS ISSACHAR (5)

GEN 30:18
18 And Leah said, God hath given me my hire, because I have given my maiden to my husband: and she called his name Issachar.

LEAH HAS ZEBULUN (6)

GEN 30:19-21
19 And Leah conceived again, and bare Jacob the sixth son.
20 And Leah said, God hath endued me with a good dowry; now will my husband dwell with me, because I have born him six sons: and she called his name Zebulun.
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

NOW GOD OPENS RACHELS WOMB.

GEN 30:22
22 And God remembered Rachel, and God hearkened to her, and opened her womb.

RACHEL HAS JOSEPH (1)

GEN 30:23-24
23 And she conceived, and bare a son; and said, God hath taken away my reproach:
24 And she called his name Joseph; and said, The LORD shall add to me another son.

INTERESTING THAT JOSEPH WAS BORN TO JACOB OR ISRAEL AND RACHEL WHEN ISRAEL LOVED RACHEL THE BEST. SOME CONNECTION HERE.

SO THIS FAR WE HAVE 11 OF THE 12 TRIBES.

Leah - 6 Sons Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun.
Bilhah Rachels maid - 2 Sons Dan, Naphtali
Zilpah Leahs Maid - 2 Sons Gad, Asher
Rachel - 1 Son Joseph

THEN JACOB MOVES TO A NEW PLACE. HIS OWN COUNTRY.

GEN 30:25-43
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had born Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Send me away, that I may go unto mine own place, and to my country.
26 Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have served thee, and let me go: for thou knowest my service which I have done thee.
27 And Laban said unto him, I pray thee, if I have found favor in thine eyes, tarry: for I have learned by experience that the LORD hath blessed me for thy sake.
28 And he said, Appoint me thy wages, and I will give it.
29 And he said unto him, Thou knowest how I have served thee, and how thy cattle was with me.
30 For it was little which thou hadst before I came, and it is now increased unto a multitude; and the LORD hath blessed thee since my coming: and now when shall I provide for mine own house also?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said, Thou shalt not give me any thing: if thou wilt do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep thy flock.
32 I will pass through all thy flock to day, removing from thence all the speckled and spotted cattle, and all the brown cattle among the sheep, and the spotted and speckled among the goats: and of such shall be my hire.
33 So shall my righteousness answer for me in time to come, when it shall come for my hire before thy face: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the sheep, that shall be counted stolen with me.
34 And Laban said, Behold, I would it might be according to thy word.
35 And he removed that day the he goats that were ring-streaked and spotted, and all the she goats that were speckled and spotted, and every one that had some white in it, and all the brown among the sheep, and gave them into the hand of his sons.
36 And he set three days' journey betwixt himself and Jacob: and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
37 And Jacob took him rods of green poplar, and of the hazel and chestnut tree; and pilled white streaks in them, and made the white appear which was in the rods.
38 And he set the rods which he had pilled before the flocks in the gutters in the watering troughs when the flocks came to drink, that they should conceive when they came to drink.
39 And the flocks conceived before the rods, and brought forth cattle ring-streaked, speckled, and spotted.
40 And Jacob did separate the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward the ring-streaked, and all the brown in the flock of Laban; and he put his own flocks by themselves, and put them not unto Laban's cattle.
41 And it came to pass, whensoever the stronger cattle did conceive, that Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the cattle in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
42 But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's.
43 And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.

GEN 31:1-55 King James Bible
1 And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.
2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as before.
3 And the LORD said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.
4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,
5 And said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father hath been with me.
6 And ye know that with all my power I have served your father.
7 And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.
8 If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the cattle bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ring-streaked shall be thy hire; then bare all the cattle ring-streaked.
9 Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.
10 And it came to pass at the time that the cattle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the rams which leaped upon the cattle were ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled.
11 And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ring-streaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.
13 I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.
14 And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?
15 Are we not counted of him strangers? for he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our money.
16 For all the riches which God hath taken from our father, that is ours, and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.
17 Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon camels;
18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his getting, which he had gotten in Padanaram, for to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
19 And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that were her father's.
20 And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.
21 So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the river, and set his face toward the mount Gilead.
22 And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.
23 And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and they overtook him in the mount Gilead.
24 And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said unto him, Take heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
25 Then Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mount: and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mount of Gilead.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters, as captives taken with the sword?
27 Wherefore didst thou flee away secretly, and steal away from me; and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth, and with songs, with tabret, and with harp?
28 And hast not suffered me to kiss my sons and my daughters? thou hast now done foolishly in so doing.
29 It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take thou heed that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.
30 And now, though thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, yet wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?
31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Peradventure thou wouldest take by force thy daughters from me.
32 With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, let him not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.
33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the two maidservants' tents; but he found them not. Then went he out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and put them in the camel's furniture, and sat upon them. And Laban searched all the tent, but found them not.
35 And she said to her father, Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise up before thee; for the custom of women is upon me. And he searched but found not the images.
36 And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast so hotly pursued after me?
37 Whereas thou hast searched all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us both.
38 This twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flock have I not eaten.
39 That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day, or stolen by night.
40 Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.
41 Thus have I been twenty years in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy cattle: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.
42 Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.
43 And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born?
44 Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.
45 And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.
46 And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap.
47 And Laban called it Jegarsahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.
48 And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed;
49 And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.
50 If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.
51 And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold this pillar, which I have cast betwixt me and thee:
52 This heap be witness, and this pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.
53 The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the fear of his father Isaac.
54 Then Jacob offered sacrifice upon the mount, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mount.
55 And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed, and returned unto his place.

GEN 32:1-32 King James Bible
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
2 And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
4 And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye speak unto my lord Esau; Thy servant Jacob saith thus, I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed there until now:
5 And I have oxen, and asses, flocks, and menservants, and womenservants: and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
6 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to thy brother Esau, and also he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred men with him.
7 Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed: and he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and herds, and the camels, into two bands;
8 And said, If Esau come to the one company, and smite it, then the other company which is left shall escape.
9 And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, the LORD which saidst unto me, Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, and I will deal well with thee:
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and of all the truth, which thou hast showed unto thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two bands.
11 Deliver me, I pray thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I fear him, lest he will come and smite me, and the mother with the children.
12 And thou saidst, I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.
13 And he lodged there that same night; and took of that which came to his hand a present for Esau his brother;
14 Two hundred she goats, and twenty he goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams,
15 Thirty milch camels with their colts, forty kine, and ten bulls, twenty she asses, and ten foals.
16 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by themselves; and said unto his servants, Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.
17 And he commanded the foremost, saying, When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying, Whose art thou? and whither goest thou? and whose are these before thee?
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord Esau: and, behold, also he is behind us.
19 And so commanded he the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying, On this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find him.
20 And say ye moreover, Behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us. For he said, I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure he will accept of me.
21 So went the present over before him: and himself lodged that night in the company.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two womenservants, and his eleven sons, and passed over the ford Jabbok.
23 And he took them, and sent them over the brook, and sent over that he had.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
25 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.
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 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.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

GEN 33:1-20 King James Bible
1 And Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau came, and with him four hundred men. And he divided the children unto Leah, and unto Rachel, and unto the two handmaids.
2 And he put the handmaids and their children foremost, and Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph hindermost.
3 And he passed over before them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
4 And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck, and kissed him: and they wept.
5 And he lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, Who are those with thee? And he said, The children which God hath graciously given thy servant.
6 Then the handmaidens came near, they and their children, and they bowed themselves.
7 And Leah also with her children came near, and bowed themselves: and after came Joseph near and Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
8 And he said, What meanest thou by all this drove which I met? And he said, These are to find grace in the sight of my lord.
9 And Esau said, I have enough, my brother; keep that thou hast unto thyself.
10 And Jacob said, Nay, I pray thee, if now I have found grace in thy sight, then receive my present at my hand: for therefore I have seen thy face, as though I had seen the face of God, and thou wast pleased with me.
11 Take, I pray thee, my blessing that is brought to thee; because God hath dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough. And he urged him, and he took it.
12 And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee.
13 And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die.
14 Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
15 And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord.
16 So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir.
17 And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
18 And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city.
19 And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money.
20 And he erected there an altar, and called it EleloheIsrael.

GEN 34:1-31 King James Bible
1 And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
2 And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.
3 And his soul clave unto Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the damsel, and spake kindly unto the damsel.
4 And Shechem spake unto his father Hamor, saying, Get me this damsel to wife.
5 And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter: now his sons were with his cattle in the field: and Jacob held his peace until they were come.
6 And Hamor the father of Shechem went out unto Jacob to commune with him.
7 And the sons of Jacob came out of the field when they heard it: and the men were grieved, and they were very wroth, because he had wrought folly in Israel in lying with Jacob's daughter: which thing ought not to be done.
8 And Hamor communed with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longeth for your daughter: I pray you give her him to wife.
9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you.
10 And ye shall dwell with us: and the land shall be before you; dwell and trade ye therein, and get you possessions therein.
11 And Shechem said unto her father and unto her brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what ye shall say unto me I will give.
12 Ask me never so much dowry and gift, and I will give according as ye shall say unto me: but give me the damsel to wife.
13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father deceitfully, and said, because he had defiled Dinah their sister:
14 And they said unto them, We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one that is uncircumcised; for that were a reproach unto us:
15 But in this will we consent unto you: If ye will be as we be, that every male of you be circumcised;
16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.
17 But if ye will not hearken unto us, to be circumcised; then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone.
18 And their words pleased Hamor, and Shechem Hamor's son.
19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter: and he was more honorable than all the house of his father.
20 And Hamor and Shechem his son came unto the gate of their city, and communed with the men of their city, saying,
21 These men are peaceable with us; therefore let them dwell in the land, and trade therein; for the land, behold, it is large enough for them; let us take their daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our daughters.
22 Only herein will the men consent unto us for to dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among us be circumcised, as they are circumcised.
23 Shall not their cattle and their substance and every beast of theirs be ours? only let us consent unto them, and they will dwell with us.
24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his son hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city; and every male was circumcised, all that went out of the gate of his city.
25 And it came to pass on the third day, when they were sore, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his sword, and came upon the city boldly, and slew all the males.
26 And they slew Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah out of Shechem's house, and went out.
27 The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and spoiled the city, because they had defiled their sister.
28 They took their sheep, and their oxen, and their asses, and that which was in the city, and that which was in the field,
29 And all their wealth, and all their little ones, and their wives took they captive, and spoiled even all that was in the house.
30 And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, Ye have troubled me to make me to stink among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and I being few in number, they shall gather themselves together against me, and slay me; and I shall be destroyed, I and my house.
31 And they said, Should he deal with our sister as with an harlot?

GEN 35:1-8 King James Bible
1 And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the strange gods that are among you, and be clean, and change your garments:
3 And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
4 And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which were in their hand, and all their earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which was by Shechem.
5 And they journeyed: and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them, and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob.
6 So Jacob came to Luz, which is in the land of Canaan, that is, Bethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place Elbethel: because there God appeared unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother.
8 But Deborah Rebekah's nurse died, and she was buried beneath Bethel under an oak: and the name of it was called Allonbachuth.

11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God spake with him, Bethel.
16 And they journeyed from Bethel; and there was but a little way to come to Ephrath: and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labor.
17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also.
18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in departing, (for she died) that she called his name Benoni: but his father called him Benjamin.
19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the way to Ephrath, which is Bethlehem.
20 And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave unto this day.
21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent beyond the tower of Edar.
22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine: and Israel heard it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
23 The sons of Leah; Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Zebulun:
24 The sons of Rachel; Joseph, and Benjamin:
25 And the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's handmaid; Dan, and Naphtali:
26 And the sons of Zilpah, Leah's handmaid: Gad, and Asher: these are the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Padanaram.
27 And Jacob came unto Isaac his father unto Mamre, unto the city of Arba, which is Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac sojourned.
28 And the days of Isaac were an hundred and fourscore years.
29 And Isaac gave up the ghost, and died, and was gathered unto his people, being old and full of days: and his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

Genesis 48 1:22 King James Bible
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
8 And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, Who are these?
9 And Joseph said unto his father, They are my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, and I will bless them.
10 Now the eyes of Israel were dim for age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near unto him; and he kissed them, and embraced them.
11 And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath showed me also thy seed.
12 And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.
13 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh in his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near unto him.
14 And Israel stretched out his right hand, and laid it upon Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, guiding his hands wittingly; for Manasseh was the firstborn.
15 And he blessed Joseph, and said, God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto this day,
16 The Angel which redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.
17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it displeased him: and he held up his father's hand, to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manasseh's head.
18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, my father: for this is the firstborn; put thy right hand upon his head.
19 And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.
20 And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.
21 And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers.
22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow.

GEN 49:3-4
3 Reuben, thou art my firstborn, my might, and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity, and the excellency of power:

SIMEON AND LEVI IN THE LAST DAYS

GEN 49:5-7
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.
6 O my soul, come not thou into their secret; unto their assembly, mine honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.
7 Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their wrath, for it was cruel: I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.

JUDAH IN THE LAST DAYS

GEN 49:8-12
8 Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before thee.

10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
11 Binding his foal unto the vine, and his ass's colt unto the choice vine; he washed his garments in wine, and his clothes in the blood of grapes:
12 His eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth white with milk.

ISSACHAR IN THE LAST DAYS

DAN IN THE LAST DAYS

GEN 49:16-18
16 Dan shall judge his people, as one of the tribes of Israel.

21 Naphtali is a hind let loose: he giveth goodly words.

JOSEPH IN THE LAST DAYS

GEN 49:22-26
22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall:
23 The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him:
24 But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:)
25 Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb:
26 The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren.

THE 12 TRIBES OF ISRAEL

GEN 49:28-33
28 All these are the twelve tribes of Israel: and this is it that their father spake unto them, and blessed them; every one according to his blessing he blessed them.
29 And he charged them, and said unto them, I am to be gathered unto my people: bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
30 In the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a buryingplace.

2 And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea,
3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.

10 And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12 Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.
13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.
16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.

REV 21:15-27
15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.
22 And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it.
23 And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof.
24 And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.
25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there shall be no night there.
26 And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into it.
27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
