Interpretation Makes or Breaks The Truth…Part 2

Interpretation Makes or Breaks The Truth…Part 2, it’s time to ask the hard questions like, “Who are the children of Abraham? Are they Jews or Gentiles? And who are the children of Jacob? Was Jacob a Jew? How about Abraham? How about Levi? Or Joseph? Benjamin?”

When a person makes conclusions without all the information and little to no backstory, or if key words have been mistranslated by design, or watered down in the process and even omitted all together, then you will believe a lie. The devil hides the details for a reason. That’s how he deceives us all!

Greek Septuagint Genesis 15:5-6, 5And he brought him out and said to him, look up now to heaven, and count the stars, if thou shalt be able to number them fully, and he said, thus shall thy seed be. 6And Abram believed God, and it was counted to him for righteousness. 

Today all in Israel are said to be Jews and that does not include any gentiles…  if you listen to Netanyahu. The Zionist movement is all excited about the Jews getting their temple and new messiah. So, will someone please tell me how many of these Christians who are excited about this are following the way of the Lord? 

Netanyahu et al, are so excited they are genociding all the Palestinians which many of them are Christians, and conquering all the lands possible in the middle east while starting World War III with Iran or it is starting to look like whoever else they can. But, hey it’s all about the Zionist movement to rule over­_______???  Over what?  Have the mega churches figured that out yet?

Which bring us to one of the most significant stories in the Bible regarding the promises of God to Abraham and all the children that would be born through his seed and the gentiles who inherited the birthright of Israel, who happen to be the sons of Joseph Ephraim and Manasseh. Along with Abraham’s other son Ishmael who was blessed to have many nations of which are today the Arab nations. The ones Netanyahu appears to be trying to topple and claim their land, and or blow them entirely off the face of the map, as we are watching in Gaza.

Which bring us to today’s Bible study…. On Joseph and his coat of many colors.

Is There a Spiritual or Divine Significance Behind Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors In The Bible?

What did this strange garment Jacob made for Joseph represent?

For a coat of many colors to have been made by Jacob and given to his son, that created such jealously by his brothers, there has to be a significance in this coat beyond what we are seeing with our fleshly eyes. There has to be a spiritual meaning that can be seen with spiritual eyes.

Genesis 37:3 states, “Now Israel loved Joseph more than his other sons because Joseph was a son born to him in his old age, and he made a robe of many colors for him.” 

If we stop here and don’t search any further, we will miss the importance of Jacob’s purpose. Why? Because we will miss the back story details most often a custom that we do not know for we were never taught customs of their culture at the time of Jacob. Nor all the details in his wrestling with the Angels and his vision… “Jacobs ladder”.

But more than that, in most Bible studies when you take a subject to study, the pastor or teacher will have you turn to the chapter where it talks of one specific topic. You are there in the translated present, without the back story which is often in a different chapter, and often in a different scroll/book all together.

And then, depending on the translation… you may be missing words, sentences and paragraphs. For example in the King James version, there are words, sentences and complete paragraphs omitted from the same chapters that are included in the Greek Septuagint. And those omissions give a light to the back story and going forward.

You might miss the significance in Jacob marrying someone from the line of Laban. In the Septuagint in Genesis, Chapter 29 it says, “1 And Jacob started and went to the land of the east to Laban, the son of Bathuel the Syrian, and the brother of Rebecca, mother of Jacob and Esau.”

The Septuagint spells it out where the King James version says, Genesis 29:1,“1Then Jacob went on his journey, and came into the land of the people of the east.”

Sometimes translations make it harder to understand, the back story especially if you didn’t read it somewhere else first. And most use the English translation of the King James Version, with all the “where for art thou’s”, and no one teaches the Torah in modern day mega church, so right off the bat we are without not only the back story, but we are without clear understanding of what things might really mean and customs.

Greek Septuagint, Genesis 29:31-35  Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah

31And when the Lord God saw that Lea was hated, he opened her womb; but Rachel was barren. 32And Lea conceived and bore a son to Jacob; and she called his name, Ruben; saying, Because the Lord has looked on my humiliation, and has given me a son, now then my husband will love me. 33And she conceived again, and bore a second son to Jacob; and she said, Because the Lord has heard that I am hated, he has given to me this one also; and she called his name, Simeon. 34And she conceived yet again, and bore a son, and said, In the present time my husband will be with me, for I have born him three sons; therefore she called his name, Levi. 35And having conceived yet again, she bore a son, and said, Now yet again this time will I give thanks to the Lord; therefore she called his name, Juda; and ceased bearing.

The Greek Septuagint tells more of the story, so I like to refer to it when searching for truth in a Bible study. As well as what is in the Torah on a topic. Even though opinions may vary from Rabi to Rabi… the original words and traditions are presented.

For example, if we are asked by the pastor to turn to Genesis 35 to read about Jacob and his wrestling with the angel of the Lord… and you know nothing of Abraham and his promises from God… you may not understand some of what is written, and you may not understand why Jacob is wanting the birthright so badly? And many other things.

In the Greek Septuagint it says in Genesis 35: 10 -20 “10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 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;

12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land. 13 And God went up from him in the place where he talked with him.

14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he talked with him, even a pillar of stone: and he poured a drink offering thereon, and he poured oil thereon. 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 labour. 17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, 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.

I like reading the Greek Septuagint because it goes into more detail, and includes words, sentences and paragraphs that were edited out of the King James Version.

The video below explains the story but doesn’t have all of the same indications found in the Greek Septuagint. Nor does it have the details found in the book of Jasher which gives the reason Esau sold his birthright. He and his men had just killed King Nimrod and scattered his body parts throughout the lands he reigned over. He feared he would be dead and so the soup was more valuable to him at that time than the birthright. When he did not die, he relented trading Jacob’s soup for his birthright, and his anger was kindled. So as with all things, take the good dots from video and seek more of the back story. Smile.

We also find that scriptures concerning Jacob and Joseph are found in other books of the Bible. It doesn’t start and stop in Genesis. The details of Jacob are found in the forbidden book of Jasher and in the Torah. But we aren’t taught what the Rabi’s teach or know from the Torah in the Mega modern day 501c3 church. We don’t know that backstory unless we learn so on our own.

The details and the words are in the scriptures here a little, there a little. Seek and you will find lots of hidden nuggets of truth. The more of the backstory you gather up, the more other verses are more clearly seen and understood. Such as the scripture in Malachi chapter 1, concerning the answer to, “Yet Jacob I have loved; But Esau I have hated,” Read it and find out why: https://biblehub.com/nkjv/malachi/1.htm

And some back story gems are found in the New Testament:

Romans 9:10-16 KJV, 10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac; 11 For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth; 12  It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.13  As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. 14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid. 15 For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy and compassion on whom I will have compassion. 16 So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.”

So often we are taught one piece of what took place and the other pieces are found in different scriptures.

Which bring us to- Joseph who became Viceroy over all Egypt and is now at Jacob’s (Israel’s) deathbed.

Israel (Jacob) was already in his old age and he knew the promises given to his grandfather Abraham.  To have sons as the stars in the sky and sands of the sea through his seed. Jacob bought the birthright from Esau and wrestled with the Angel of the Lord and was given a new name, Israel. (It’s all in Genesis) Jacob had visions of a ladder going up into the heavens and was shown many things.)

When we fast forward and look at the blessings Jacob gave to his sons on his death bed, we read that Jacob gave Joseph a double portion.

 Genesis 48:22 says: “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.”

Let’s look at this double portion. Jacob adopts Ephraim and Manasseh as his own sons. This elevates them to the same status as Jacob’s biological sons, meaning they will receive a portion of the inheritance. He was given an inheritance and the inheritance of the birthright of Israel Jacob took away from Reuben for his sin, and gave the inheritance to Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh who were gentiles by Joseph’s marriage to an Egyptian wife. Remember the promises to Abraham that through his seed, would all nations be blessed.

When we look at the back story, it was Rachel that Jacob chose to be his wife and that story shows how Rachel’s father tricked him into marrying her older sister and he worked 7 more years to marry Rachel. Rachel turned out to not be able to give birth, until Jacob was in his old age and she gave him Joseph and died giving birth to Benjamin.

It appears that Jacob’s destiny was fulfilled even after all the challenges and devilish obstacles trying to thwart it.

Back to the robe Jacob made for Joseph:

The robe Jacob made for Joseph is Biblically known as the “coat of many colors,” yet the exact meaning of the Hebrew term remains debated. No one inside the Christian church seem to know for certain what its specific design and colors were exactly but there are many opinions.

Many theologians and Biblical scholars say this garment symbolized authority, distinction, and favor, marking Joseph as the favored son. Understanding the cultural and historical context of this robe, sheds light on family dynamics, ancient clothing customs, and the broader biblical themes of divine favor and human jealousy. The debates on this are often heated. But, let’s look at this a bit deeper.

The coat represents Joseph’s position as the chosen one, who’d later become a great leader. This teaches us the lesson of divine favor and how God chooses and elevates certain individuals for a specific purpose.

There is a spiritual symbolism behind Joseph’s coat. We can see how it represents God’s favor and blessing upon his life. It signifies the special anointing that Joseph had, which set him apart from his brothers. This divine favor not only protected Joseph from harm, but it also positioned him for greatness.

Significance of Colors in the Coat – What are the “many colors” in the coat?

There are many ideas on the colors in the coat and definitions to the colors. That debate is ongoing. That being said, the coat of many colors given to Joseph by his father Jacob held great significance, not only in its physical appearance but also in the spiritual symbolism behind each color. The Bible does not specifically state the colors used in Joseph’s coat, but various interpretations and traditions have assigned meanings to the colors that could have been used. So let’s go to the Torah and see what Rabbi’s have taught of this.

We learn in the Torah how Jacob loved his son Joseph more than all his other sons and made him a ketonet passim, commonly translated as a “coat of many colors.” Ketonet translates as “cloak” or “garment.” But what does passim mean? And why did Jacob give this gift to his son in the first place?

Fine Material- On a basic level, Rashi and other torah commentaries explain that the ketonet passim was a fine woolen garment.  Some explain passim to mean that the garment was made of silk. Others connect the word passim to pas, meaning “palm,” since the garment was made of such fine material that when folded, it could fit in the palm of one’s hand.

The Bible tells us that Joseph was Jacob’s favorite because he was “the child of his old age” (ben zekunim, בֶן־זְקֻנִים) (Gen. 37:3). For this reason, Jacob provided Joseph with an ornamented tunic, decorated with stripes.

Now Yisrael loved Yosef best of all his sons, for he was the child of his old age; and he had made him an ornamented tunic.

v’-yis-ra-AYL a-HAV et yo-SEF mi-KOL ba-NAV, kee-BEN z’-ku-NIM HU LO, v’-a-SA LO ke-TO-net pa-SEEM.

The medieval commentator known as Rashi offers a different explanation for the term ben zekunim, suggesting that Joseph was the wisest of Jacob’s sons.

Joseph learned his wisdom from Jacob who, in turn, had learned much of his wisdom from his father, Isaac. But, according to the sages, the rest of his wisdom he learned from studying with Shem (the son of Noah) and Eber (Shem’s great-grandson) for 14 years before arriving at Laban’s house in Haran (Megilla 17a). The sages further teach that Jacob taught everything he had learned from Shem and Eber to his son, Joseph (Gen. Rabbah 84:8).

The wisdom of Shem was especially powerful and proved to be invaluable to Joseph. Shem grew up in an era when the Torah was a practical study of how to withstand evil. The generation before the flood was depraved to a degree that has never been matched. When Joseph was sold into slavery in Egypt, it was Shem’s teachings that helped him withstand the influences of paganism and depravity. 

The coat of many colors helped to reinforce these teachings of Shem.

Made of wool, it had an extra measure of insulation. The message of the coat was that the lessons of Shem that Joseph had learned from his father would help insulate him and give him additional protection from the evil found in Egypt. Furthermore, just as the coat was multi-colored, Shem’s teachings were multi-faceted and could hold up under all kinds of attacks and challenges. We are blessed to live in an era in which education is widely available. But while knowledge can be learned from a book, wisdom is best imparted from a mentor to a student. Knowledge can be passed from one mind to another, but life wisdom passes from heart to heart. Wisdom is earned through life experience. Knowledge gives you tools, but wisdom teaches the difference between good and evil and also teaches how to withstand evil.

So even when Joseph’s coat was torn off his back, the wisdom that his father imparted to him remained in his heart and protected him through the many challenges he faced in Egypt. The Secret of Joseph’s Coat of Many Colors – The Israel Bible (Was this the Holy Spirit? Sounds like it to me. What do you believe?)

Torah Teachings: An Ancient Garment

Most commentaries follow the plain meaning of the verse, which states that Jacob made the garment, implying that it was new. However, some identify this garment with the special garment that God made for Adam in the Garden of Eden, which was later passed down through the generations.

At first glance, it seems like Jacob showed poor judgment by giving the garment. As the Talmud states: “One should never differentiate between children. For it was because of this coat that Jacob gave Joseph over his other children that caused their jealousy, which eventually led to the entire nation going down to Egypt.”

So why did Jacob do it? Some say it signified that Joseph was to be the leader. I believe it served to signify Joseph’s Royal lineage to fulfill the promises of God to Abraham. What do you believe?

Another commentary by Rabbi Dr. Stuart Halpern states the following:

The garment was ornamented by God Himself during humanity’s earliest days, went another midrashic tradition found in a Yemenite collection and published in the Torah Sheleima. After Adam and Eve sinned by eating the forbidden fruit, they realized they were nude and in need of clothing. God fashioned a special cloak for them from the skin sloughed off from the snake who had tempted them into sinning. This divinely designed attire appeared superimposed, Forrest Gump-like, throughout subsequent biblical tales. It adorned Nimrod, the king who threw Abraham into a fiery furnace to test his faith. Esau stripped Nimrod of it, only to have Jacob wear it while stealing the blessing from their father, Isaac. It was then gifted by Jacob to Joseph. After the brothers tore it from Joseph and dipped it in blood as fabricated proof of Joseph’s demise at the paws of a wild animal, it was eventually repaired, cleaned off, and, after the Israelites exited from Egypt and built the Tabernacle, it adorned the High Priest.

Pasim was an unintentional acronym, referencing the four troubles that Joseph would have to overcome on his journey from brotherly betrayal to second-in-command to Pharaoh. The Hebrew letter pey referred to Potiphar, the Egyptian official whose amorous wife’s attempted seduction of Joseph landed him in jail. The samech shouted out the sochrim, merchants, who shlepped Joseph from Canaan to Egypt. The remaining two letters, yud and mem, referred to the hairy bunch of Ishmaelites and the Midianites, those slave-traders who swapped Joseph back and forth on the trek towards the Nile.

To Reish Lakish, pasim was a peek far into the future. Decades after Jacob, Joseph and the brothers reunited happily in Egypt, a new Pharaoh arose and enslaved their descendants. When Moses eventually led the exodus of those slaves, he took the casket of Joseph with him, to be buried back in the Holy Land. It was, went the tradition, the sight of the righteous Joseph’s bones that caused the Red Sea to split, allowing the Israelites to pass through on dry land. Pasim was actually a portmanteau of pas and yam, strip of sea.

It was the Septuagint, that ancient Greek translation of the Bible composed around the third century BCE who gifted us with the idea that the coat was polychromatic. It translates pasim as “poikilos,” meaning many-colored or spotted. 

The teaching that the High Priest, bedecked in Joseph’s old coat, leads the Yom Kippur service in which the Israelites are forgiven for their sins, also offers insight.

It was a slaughtered goat whose blood was used to trick Jacob into believing Joseph was dead. The subsequent mandate that the High Priest is to slaughter a goat as part of the Temple service on the Day of Repentance reminds us that even if our sins aren’t on the level of brotherly betrayal, they can still echo for generations. Before minor disagreements escalate into full-scale four-hundred-years-of-slavery-level disasters, best to put aside pride and proactively seek forgiveness when the opportunity arises.

In another study of the torah we find this interpretation:

Rabbenu Menoah explains that the karpas at the seder, “recalls for us the coat of many colors,” which angered the brothers who then sold Joseph into Egypt. This idea is also discussed by Rabbi Solomon Kluger in Yeriot Shlomo, his commentary on the Haggadah, saying that the only reason we were in Egypt was the selling of Joseph. Also, after the lamb was sacrificed in the Holy Temple, it was then brought to the place where it was going to be eaten. A Braita discusses how the animal was slung over one’s shoulder in its skin. To this discussion, R. Ilish adds one word, “Tayot,” [Pesachim 65b] which Rashi explains refers to the manner in which Ishmaelite traders transport animals.

R. Ilish’s comment (as interpreted by Rashi) steers our mind back to another group of Ishmaelite traders who appeared on the horizon at a crucial moment in Joseph’s life, providing Judah with the opportunity to declare: “What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? Come let us sell him to the Ishmaelites” [Gen. 37:26-27]. Without those Ishmaelites, Joseph never would have ended up in Egypt. Read: https://www.jta.org/2020/04/07/ny/on-account-of-a-coat

Joseph sold as a slave… oh how Satan loves to try and block one’s destiny.

Instead of ruler over all the land, and growing a nation… Satan would have Joseph be a slave and when that didn’t work he sought to tempt him and when that didn’t work he had false witness bearing on him and when that didn’t work…(You see there is always something Satan does by entering into the flesh of others or sending demonic spirits in for him to possess flesh in order to do his bidding. Even if it is only to deceive and cause one to be misguided through his mind whispers. His greatest mind control is to have others believe his lies as truth so they believe wrong things and act wrongly themselves.

In essence, the colors of Joseph’s coat served as a vivid reminder of God’s love, provision, and faithfulness, even in the face of adversity. They pointed to a greater purpose and destiny for Joseph, one that would impact not only his own life but the lives of his family and an entire nation.

Many say the coat represents Jacob’s love and favor towards Joseph, setting him apart from his other sons. But there was a deeper reason for Jacob’s gift of the coat.

Jacob made the coat for Joseph and gave it to him as a symbolic covering, a blessing. This was a spiritual knowing that it would be through Joseph’s seed that the promises God made to Abraham that he would have children as the numbers of the stars in the sky and sands in the sea, would come through him also.

The coat’s colors each had a deep meaning. I’m sure Jacob was guided through Shem and Noah as to what it all meant. What it actually looked like, we really don’t know. I’m sure it was put together with great care, and purposefully. Perhaps representing a heavenly royal anointing.

At this time I want to point out that Abraham was to sojourn in the land of promise as in a strange country dwelling with Isaac and Jacob and the heirs of the same promise for 400 years and they did just that. That time began with Abraham up until Moses led them out. They were not enslaved until after Joseph’s death and Amos took over Egypt. Translations and interpretations have given us lots of debates on this, but Hebrews in the New Testament makes it clear what took place.

Hebrews 11:8-9 (KJV)

8 By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. 9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:

Joseph’s special calling. More of the back story…

By bestowing this distinctive garment upon his son, Jacob acknowledged the divine plan for Joseph’s life, even if he did not fully understand its scope. The coat becomes a physical representation of the spiritual mantle placed upon Joseph, setting him apart for a greater purpose.

It is obvious the devil wanted to stop this as he tried to have Abraham killed at birth by the star gazers of Nimrod. Abraham’s survival had challenges at every turn. So now, he attacks Jacob who now is called “Israel” to arouse jealousy and discord between him and his brothers. The brothers set it up to rid him of them forever, or so they thought. But God turned what they intended for evil into a blessing for Joseph and a light to the gentiles, as the Bible plays out how this evolves when his sons are adopted by him and given the birthright to Israel.

The Bible is filled with truths of chosen infants that God sent into this world to serve a divine purpose of which the devil had sought to destroy and took the lives of many innocent children to try to kill the one. Example: The birth of all Hebrew baby males in Egypt (I believe Satan knew Moses was coming), and the infant child of the Messiah in Jerusalem, when King Herod killed all male children 2 years old and under.

But how can we study the books of Jacob and Joseph without understanding the promises given to Abraham? How can we see how these events fit into the destiny of God’s promises to Abraham? We need to know more of the back story. Let’s go to the forbidden book of Jasher where it explains that story in detail.

Abraham is born as written in the Book of Jasher, Chapter 8

Jasher, Chapter 8, “1 And it was in the night that Abram was born, that all the servants of Terah, and all the wise men of Nimrod, and his conjurors came and ate and drank in the house of Terah, and they rejoiced with him on that night. 2 And when all the wise men and conjurors went out from the house of Terah, they lifted up their eyes toward heaven that night to look at the stars, and they saw, and behold one very large star came from the east and ran in the heavens, and he swallowed up the four stars from the four sides of the heavens.

3 And all the wise men of the king and his conjurors were astonished at the sight, and the sages understood this matter, and they knew its import. 4 And they said to each other, This only betokens the child that has been born to Terah this night, who will grow up and be fruitful, and multiply, and possess all the earth, he and his children forever, and he and his seed will slay great kings, and inherit their lands.

This portrays the destiny of Abram (Abraham) and goes into detail of how the wise men and conjurors later went before Nimrod to warn him of the son of Terah because sooner or later this would come out that they knew and hid if from the King. So they went before King Nimrod and told him what they knew and offered to kill the child.

Jasher 8:13-15, 13 If it seemeth good to the king to give his father value for this child, we will slay him before he shall grow up and increase in the land, and his evil increase against us, that we and our children perish through his evil. 14 And the king heard their words, and they seemed good in his sight, and he sent and called for Terah, and Terah came before the king.

15 And the king said to Terah, I have been told that a son was yester night born to thee, and after this manner was observed in the heavens at his birth. 16 And now therefore give me the child, that we may slay him before his evil springs up against us, and I will give thee for his value, thy house full of silver and gold.

But Terah thought quickly and spoke to the King in a parable showing him how the silver and gold was an insult and that angered King Nimrod, but Terah reasoned with him saying,  “I beseech thee, my lord and king, what is this which thou didst say unto me, saying, Give thy son that we may slay him, and I will give thee silver and gold for his value; what shall I do with silver and gold after the death of my son? who shall inherit me? Surely then at my death, the silver and gold will return to my king who gave it.”

They reasoned back and forth and, in the end, Nimrod gave Terah three days to consider the matter and on the third day Nimrod sent word to Terah to send him his son for a price and if he didn’t do this, he would slay all that was in his house even his dogs.

Terah knowing this matter’s time had run out, took a child from one of his servants, which his handmaid had born to him that day, and Terah brought the child to the king in place of Abram and received the silver and gold for him.

The book of Jasher tells us the Lord was with Terah in this matter, that Nimrod might not cause Abram’s death, and the king took the child from Terah and with all his might dashed his head to the ground, for he thought it had been Abram; and this was concealed from him from that day, and it was forgotten by the king, as it was the will of God not to suffer Abram’s death.

Terah took Abram and his mother with her nurse and secretly concealed them in a cave, and he brought them their provisions monthly. This way of living continued in the cave for ten years. The day came when Abram came out from the cave, and went to live with Noah and his son Shem, and he remained with them to learn the instruction of the Lord and his ways, and no man knew where Abram was, and Abram served Noah and Shem his son. He was in Noah’s house thirty-nine years.

The book of Jasher tells us that Abram knew the Lord from three years old, and he went in the ways of the Lord until the day of his death, as Noah and his son Shem had taught him. This was at a time when all the sons of the earth greatly transgressed against the Lord, and they rebelled against him and they served other gods and forgot the Lord who had created them in the earth. The inhabitants of the earth at that time made for themselves gods of wood and stone which could neither speak, hear, nor deliver, and the sons of men served them and they became their gods.  There was not a man found in those days in the whole earth, who knew the Lord (for they served each man his own God) except Noah and his household, and all those who were under his counsel knew the Lord in those days.

In the video above, Terah, the father of Abraham, reveals why God separated Abraham from his own father — a divine decision that changed the course of salvation in history. Based on Genesis 11, Genesis 12, and Joshua 24:2, you will understand the connection between idolatry, spiritual stagnation, and the beginning of God’s eternal plan.

Throughout history, the ages spoken of in Enoch have come to pass and we are the generation he spoke of that would find the Books written that were hid from us and we who read them will be blessed and teach them to a younger generation and these books will open our eyes and ears. Amen.

Enoch Chapter CIV 10-13

10. And now I know this mystery, that sinners will alter and pervert the words of righteousness in many ways, and will speak wicked words, and lie, and practice great deceits, and write books concerning their words. 11. But when they write down truthfully all my words in their languages, and do not change or minish ought from my words but write them all down truthfully–all that I first testified concerning them. 12. Then, I know another mystery, that books will be given to the righteous and the wise to become a cause of joy and uprightness and much wisdom. 13. And to them shall the books be given, and they shall believe in them and rejoice over them, and then shall all the righteous who have learnt there from all the paths of uprightness be recompensed.’

Enoch Chapter CV 1-2

1. In those days the Lord bade (them) to summon and testify to the children of earth concerning their wisdom: Show (it) unto them; for ye are their guides, and a recompense over the whole earth. 2. For I and My son will be united with them for ever in the paths of uprightness in their lives; and ye shall have peace: rejoice, ye children of uprightness. Amen.

So, with Joseph and his anointed destiny… it was through his seed which is the seed of Abraham that all the gentiles (Nations) shall be blessed. The devil hates this and has tried at every turn to stop this from manifesting… but God is in control and God’s will shall be done!

Jacob was fully aware of his grandfather Abraham’s covenant with God and all the promises. He knew of Isaac and the coming Messiah and knew he had a destiny to fulfill and the destiny of Joseph. When he made the robe, it only makes sense that Jacob was guided by God of how to do it. It was his destiny and the demonic realm tried at every turn to stop him from fulfilling what God had set in motion to be done and God made sure Joseph was protected and victorious over evil. 

Other dots to the back story – The Matriarchs of Israel:

Even though the birthright traditionally belonged to the eldest son— which among Jacob’s sons would have been Reuben. The robe, therefore, could have been perceived as a birthright insignia that Joseph, rather than Reuben, was destined to be the heir as he was born of Rachel, his chosen and key wife for God’s greater purpose. The name Rachel means sheep, associated with her lovable, serene nature.

Rachel is one of the four Matriarchs of Israel. When blessing a daughter it is traditional to say, “May God make you like Sarah,(wife of Abraham) Rebecca, (wife of Isaac) Leah and Rachel (wives of Jacob).” Why aren’t Bilhah and Zilpah mentioned? The “hand maidens” who gave birth to Jacob’s four other sons making up the twelve tribes of Israel?

Answer from Rabbi Naftali Silberberg: “We bless our children to be like Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel and Leah because they alone are the Jewish Matriarchs. The Talmud tells us: “Only three are referred to as Patriarchs; and only four are referred to as Matriarchs.” The four are a reference to Sarah, Rebecca, Rachel, and Leah.

“These seven spiritual giants are considered our nation’s patriarchs and matriarchs not so much because they are our shared biological antecedents, but primarily because they are our spiritual ancestors.

“According to kabbalah, the souls of the Patriarchs were the embodiment of the Godly attributes – that transcend creation – of Kindness (Abraham), Severity (Isaac) and Harmony (Jacob); while the Matriarch’s souls were the embodiment of (four components of) the Divine attribute of Royalty (Malchut).

“Bilhah and Zilpah bore their children “on behalf of” and as “the agents of” Leah and Rachel. The children they bore were even named by Leah and Rachel. It is from them that every Jew – their “children” – inherit these spiritual faculties. For example, our capacity to selflessly love – both God and our fellow man – is an inheritance from Abraham.” Read more: Why aren’t Bilhah and Zilpah counted as Jewish Matriarchs? – Parshah Focus – Parshah

The giving of a special robe to Joseph was not a trivial gesture but a deliberate act that carried significant meaning. Several factors may explain why Jacob bestowed such an honor upon Joseph.

Looking at the back story dots from our KJV Bible, we know that Joseph was the son of Jacob’s old age. Genesis 37:3 explicitly states that Jacob loved Joseph more than his other sons because he was born to him in his later years. The back story to this is that Rachel, was who Jacob asked permission to marry and worked for 7 years for her father in order to receive her hand in marriage. Of which on his wedding day Laban tricked Jacob and married him off to Rachel’s older sister Leah. Jacob worked another 7 years to receive the hand in marriage of Rachel of which he finally married but she was not able to bear a child until Jacob was in his old age.  When she knew she was barren, Rachel encouraged Jacob to have children with her sister and his first wife, Leah. Having many wives was acceptable at this time. Jacob had sons from other women in his concubine.

As the years passed, Rachel was finally able to bear a son and Joseph was the firstborn of Rachel, Jacob’s beloved wife and the true heir of Rachel’s line.

Recall it was the sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were adopted by Jacob on his death bed and received the birthright of Israel. They were gentiles.

Third, Jacob’s own background may have influenced this decision. He himself had received the blessing of his father Isaac over his older brother Esau (Genesis 27:27-29), despite being the younger son. Having experienced firsthand the reversal of birth order in divine favor. But then again Abraham also had the older son Ishmael by a hand maid of Sarah because she could not bear a child. Yet, as time past she had Isaac. So we have Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob having the oldest sons getting blessings but not the birthright. Jacob surely had no qualms about a similar destiny for Joseph. And continued this with giving the youngest of Joseph’s sons, Ephraim, his blessing of the birthright first. Manasseh was the oldest. Can anyone figure this one out? Not sure if the Torah covers this, but I’m sure it must. We’ll have to dig deeper on that one. Maybe it was to insure that all the nations were of Abraham’s seed, except the “ites” like the Amorites, Hettites, all the giant and tainted bloodlines? I really want to know what this means. Do you? Maybe it’s something as simple as the older ones weren’t obedient to God? For that was a stipulation God required.

When we add the other background stories from the Septuagint and the Torah… we find everything was divinely planned and guided.

In Summary:

Joseph’s elegant robe in Genesis 37:3 was more than a simple piece of clothing—it was a powerful symbol of favor, authority, and distinction. Given to him by Jacob, it marked him as the chosen son, igniting deep jealousy among his brothers. Their hatred led to his betrayal, but ultimately, God’s sovereign plan was at work. The life story of Joseph highlights themes of divine selection, human jealousy, and the trials that often accompany divine calling – gold tried in the fire and Joseph passed the trying as he continued to believe in and serve God where ever he was placed in his journey in the flesh. Joseph’s robe may have been stripped from him, but his destiny remained intact, demonstrating that true favor comes not from man but from God’s purpose and providence.

“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and…turn from their wicked ways…I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

The blessings given to the sons of Joseph from the Greek Septuagint Genesis 49:15-22

Greek Septuagint Genesis 49:15-22

15 And he blessed them and said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, Abram and Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day; 16 the angel who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abram and Isaac; and let them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.

17 And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of Ephraim—it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasseh. 18 And Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy right-hand upon his head.

19 And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be exalted, but his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. 20 And he blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and Manasseh; and he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

21 And Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to the land of your fathers. 22 And I give to thee Sicima, a select portion above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow. Note: Sicima was a part of the land of Canaan.

The act of giving the coat symbolizes Jacob’s recognition of Joseph’s special calling. By bestowing this distinctive garment upon his son, Jacob acknowledged the divine plan for Joseph’s life, even if he did not fully understand its scope. The coat becomes a physical representation of the spiritual mantle placed upon Joseph, setting him apart for a greater purpose.

Throughout Joseph’s journey, the coat remains a powerful symbol of his identity, both in times of favor and adversity. When his brothers stripped him of the coat and sold him into slavery, they attempted to rob him of his destiny. However, the removal of the physical garment could not erase the spiritual calling imprinted upon Joseph’s life. In the end, the coat’s restoration and Joseph’s reconciliation with his family demonstrate the enduring nature of his divine purpose.

God’s Covenant Was with Abraham’s Line with the condition based on being obedient to God.  He told him he would have children that numbered the stars in the sky and the sands in the sea and through his seed, He would bless ALL THE NATIONS.  Abraham had two sons and God blessed both sons, Ishmael and Isaac. The promise was true and tied to faith, and obedience to God. It was not a promise to the Jews. There were no Jews and Abraham was not a Jew. This was during the time of Nimrod and his God on earth reign with his Queen of heaven Semiramis.  Which was the religion before the flood and a mocking of God the Father, the Holy Spirit and the Son of Man, our Lord.

This was about the fulfillment of God’s promises. He blessed Abram because Abram sought to serve God.

A Robe dipped in blood is symbolic of our Lord and Savior!

Isaac had two sons, Esau and Jacob. Jacob served God and Esau sold his birthright. God blessed Jacob for he sought to serve God and wrestled with the Lord and received the blessing of a new name for a chosen people. He was named Israel. His first born to Rachel the Matriarch was Joseph. The birthright was to Joseph that through his seed would all nations be blessed to fulfill the promises of Abraham. Of which the birthright to Israel was given by Jacob to Joseph’s sons Ephraim and Manasseh who were gentiles. The promises to Abraham were set in motion.

Jesus made it clear that being a part of religion like a Pharisee, Sadducee, the Sanhedrin or calling yourself a Jew did not make you a part of Israel. Faith in God, serving God, and belief on the Son of Man sent to fulfill the promises of the Lord God returning in 5 and a half days each day a thousand years, or 5,500 years that was given to Adam as a path back to God and reuniting back to Paradise.

Galatians 3:29, “If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to promise.”

The Church (which translation meant the assembly) did not replace Israel. When the Lord said, lo I go to the gentiles, the word gentile meant nations. Gentiles are those called out from the world who follow the way of the Lord. Those called out “gentiles”,  are the assembly. The assembly “Church” is now made up of all nations, the gentiles…. All are of Israel who accept the Messiah and follow the way of the Lord which are the commands of God. Which the Son of Man, Jesus, made easy to do saying to love God with all of your heart, mind, strength and soul, and to love your neighbor as you love yourself. He said if you keep these two commands, you will have kept them all.

ALL who accept the Son of Man promised to come who is the same promised Messiah … Jew or Gentile… are the TRUE HEIRS of the promises given to Abraham in God’s covenant.

It isn’t hard to see and hear for it is the message from the beginning in God’s Word throughout each scroll written by the prophets and the apostles.

The message is true, it is simple, and the only way it gets complicated is when you listen to those taking scriptures out of context and adding their own theology and opinions to it.  The Zionist movement was never a thing until Rothschild funded those to create it and push it in the early 19^th century. It was never anything taught by Jesus for his followers to do.

The modern-day nation-state of “Israel” was created in 1948 by the [ROTHSCHILD] banking [ELITE] to serve their world dominating purpose and control the protestant religion which today has over 40,000 denominations. Add to that the Catholics, the Jesuits, and other religious groups and there are over 60,000 denominations. This word salad theology and ideology of the Word is NOT the fulfillment of GOD’s promise.  It is a counterfeit religious movement under the shield of Zionist Israel is a deceptive power grab over the true teachings of the Word of God, misinterpreted and weaponized to blind the assembly for GLOBAL CONTROL and POWER.

BIBLICAL ISRAEL are those in COVENANT with GOD through FAITH in CHRIST.

God’s chosen people are not a geopolitical regime run by MOSSAD, MI6, CIA, DARPA, FREEMASONS, JESUITS, NAZIs, KM Oligarchs, Technocrats, Council of 13, Committee of 300, Tavistock Institute, House of Rothschilds and dual-citizen deep state PUPPETS.

Modern Israel the nation formed in 1948 by a UN vote, is NOT God’s chosen people. That is a manmade live theater and started with the 1917 Balfour Declaration. The same year they plotted the Bolshevik Revolution to take out the Orthodox Christian Tzars of Russia and killed the entire royal family and in its place set up a communist soviet state with Lenin as it’s dictator.

This was brought about via Albert Pikes vision of World War I, followed by World War II, and what we are watching today in Israel… is an attempt to bring about Pike’s coveted World War III in order to bring Lucifer out into the light to be worshipped openly.

They have jumped the shark and brought out the Niellists and fake Christian dogma in an attempt to disillusion Christians and what has happened is a massive worldwide revival instead!

If you can, read the books of Enoch, Jasher, Jubilees … and ask the Holy Spirit what to read first. You may be led to open your Bible or get the Greek Septuagint. Smile. Or perhaps even the torah. Shem and Noah read the book of Enoch and I am certain the book of Adam.

Hold on and pray unceasing for God is in control of all things and the War has already been won!

KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM OF GOD! PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!
