The Man The Tribe The Land Yisrael Israel Prophetic In Every Way Part 2

October 30, 2021

Last post we looked at the origin of the name

Israel/Yisrael

and that it began with a man called

Yaakov/Jacob.

Yaaqob יעקב,

Y A K B

Pronounced: Ya’ah’kov

(Remember the Hebrew letters b and v are interchangeable)

When we think or speak of

Israel/Yisrael

ישראל

pronounced: Iss-rah-el

we instinctively refer to Israel the country

and not how it came into being.

Continuing our theme the next part focuses on

Israel/Yisrael

ישראל – the tribe.

The tribe of Israel began with

Jacob/Israels’children,

who are known as

Israelites

Jacob had 12 sons

(Joseph had 2 sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were included by Jacob into the family tribes making 13 altogether. In various scripture references some of the names are omitted and others added e.g. Dan is not listed in Revelation, however the number seems to always add up to 12. )

They became the tribes of Israel.

Shivtei Yisrael

שבטי ישראל‎

His children and subsequent generations continue even to today.

We looked at the tribes in a previous post

His parents are Isaac and Rebekah;

Genesis 25,

and his grandparents are Abraham and Sarah.

The nation of Israel came from

4 matriarchs.

Leah and her servant Zilpah,

Leah’s sister Rachel and her servant Bilhah.

Their 12 sons would become the patriarchs of the 12 tribes of the nation of Israel.

Israel’s 1st born son is Reuben.

Rueben – see a son

Genesis 29:32.

His mother is Leah. Reuben forfeits his station of 1st-born son when he sleeps with Bilhah, the mother of his two half-brothers Dan and Naphtali. Gen. 35:22.

The name Israel/Yisrael appears also frequently in the Brit Chadashah/New Testament, 78 times in 12 of the 27 books; Specifically in the 4 Gospels, Acts, the letters of Paul (where he said he was a Hebrew of the Hebrews), and Revelation.

In Greek, Israel is spelled Ισραηλ, and the ethnonym.

Israelite in Greek is spelled Ισραηλιτης and appears 9 times.

The Jewish people are referred to by many different names in the Bible.

They are called:

Israelites,

Jews,

Hebrews,

children of Abraham,

Daughter Zion,

God’s chosen people, etc.

One of the most common names for the Jewish people in the Bible is Israelites.

A second common name for the Jewish people is Jews.

The word Jew comes from the term Judah, the leading tribe of Israel.

A Jew was, literally,

one from the land of Judah,

although the word later came to be applied to any Israelite, regardless of the tribe to which he belonged. The first occurrence of the word Jew in the Old Testament is in Esther 2:5 where Mordecai is called Mordecai the Jew.

Another common name for the Jewish people is Hebrews. The first mention of a Hebrew in the Bible is Genesis 14:13

where Abraham is called Abram the Hebrew.

The term Hebrew is the same word used for both the language and the people.

It is עברי. Ivri or Ibri

pronounced Erverh

and literally means:

from the other side

and also means:

to pass through to the other side

or one crossed over.

Related to Abraham crossing over from his fathers home of idol worship to follow the call of the One True and Living God. Then prophetically to the crossing over of the Reed Sea out of Egypt and again across the Jordan River into the Promised Land/Canaan/Yisrael; and to our future crossing over into the spiritual Promised Land of the Heavenlies.

IVRI

The script used in the Torah scrolls is the original

Ktav Ivrit which was revealed to

Avraham Avinu who was the first

Ivri-Hebrew.

This script is the one with which God created the world.

The proper pronunciation in the native language of the ancient Israelites’ designation, commonly known, as Hebrew in English is IVRI

pronounced Erh-Verh.

Many believe Hebrew in this context is related to Eber, an ancestor of Abraham mentioned in Genesis 11:14–16.

Independent of the term’s meaning, its original connection is with Abraham as founder of the Jewish people.

The apostle Paul addressed the Jews in Antioch using this term in Acts 13:26; Romans 9:7.

Children of Abraham, points to the relationship between

Abraham and the Jewish people.

Yeshua/Jesus and Paul both called upon Jews not only to be

children of Abraham by birth,

but to imitate the faith of Abraham.

John 8:39–40; Romans 4.

The term,

Daughter Zion,

is found in many prophetic books and is

a poetic reference to the nation of Israel.

Often, the passages containing

Daughter Zion or daughter of Zion

deal with the redemption and salvation of the remnant of Yisrael/Israel, especially in the context of the coming of the Messiah/Mashiach.

Zephaniah 3:14; Lamentations 4:22;

Micah 4:8; Zechariah 9:9; Isaiah 52:2.

In the TaNaKh/Old Testament,

God’s chosen people

is another name for the Israelites

1 Kings 3:8; Isaiah 47:6; 65:9.

This term highlights the fact that the Israelites/Jews/Hebrews have had a special purpose and calling from the time of Abraham to the time of the Messiah, and according to scripture, they will again be central in God’s plan for the future, fulfilling all prophecy.

You are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession. Deuteronomy 7:6.

God promised a blessing to all the people of the world through the descendants of Abraham. Genesis 12:1–3.

Yeshua haMashiach/Jesus Christ,

of the tribe of

Judah,

was born in Bethlehem/Beit lechem,

and resided in Nazareth of Galilee.

Israel, God’s Time Clock and the Temple Mount in the News.

ישראל ISRAEL (Yisrael, Yisra’el) יִשְׂרָאֵל

According to the Biblical explanation, the first part of the name ‘Israel’ is derived of the verb לִשְׂרות (lisrot, ‘wrestle’);

the second half of the name is אֵל (El, ‘God’). Or ‘He has wrestled (striven) with God’.

Other possible translations are:

“Ruler (or prince) over God”, or alternatively

“God prevails”

“Champion or prince [sar] of God” which is a possible references to the same episode, but could imply praise.

“God rules” [the converse of “Ruler or prince over God”]

“God will rule” or “God who will rule”.

Some say, ‘Prince with God’.

Or is it that the mystery verb שרה doesn’t mean struggle at all, but rather reflects a worthiness to govern a nation?At the Jabbok, Jacob became the world’s first godly king and his nation was Israel; God’s (Vicarious) Governor.

Jacob – ‘God wrestler’.History: ‘Israel’ is the name given to Jacob after his encounter at the river Jabbok when he wrestled with God’s angel;

“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.” Genesis 32: 28 (Hebrew version: Genesis 32, 29);

it is also the name of the Biblical kingdom of Israel, the land of Israel, the people of Israel (Israelites/Israeli) and the modern state of Israel.

Jacob (Israel), had 12 sons and 1 daughter. The tribes were named after his sons and given portions of the land.

Israel is God’s Time Clock and when specific events unfold in that nation it is always significant, although the media does not always give it the attention it deserves.

Just over a week ago the terrorist attack on the Temple Mount on July 14, 2017 came at an important intersection of time.

Israel quickly installed metal detectors and assumed more control of the Temple Mount which led to open Jewish Prayers on the mount for the first time in 50 years!!

From and including that day it is 70 days to Rosh HaShana(h) 2017.

Rosh HaShana(h) also called Yom Teruah and sometimes called The Feast of Trumpets it is the first of the 3 Fall (Sept/Oct), Appointed Times of the Lord, which follow in quick succession at the end of the Hebrew Calendar Year.

The scripture often associated with this appointed time is 1 Thess. 4:15-18 in verse 16, the trumpet of God is translated from the greek word, ‘salpiggi’, meaning trumpet. However shofar, is the appropriate translation in this context because resurrection is for judgment, where the shofar was used as a call to repentance. (Lev. 23:24) (Interestingly the hebrew scriptures has neither the word feast nor the word trumpet.)The shofar was a rams horn which vary in length,and it’s not the silver trumpet described in Numbers 10.

The Headline On The Report From ‘Breaking Israel News’, declared:

World Looks Breathlessly to Temple Mount as Portal for Messianic Change Swings Open July 21 2017

The article follows below:

This week, for the first time since the Second Temple stood in all its glory,Jews were able to walk the Temple Mount freely as Muslim authority fell away from the site, allowing both Jews and Christians to heed the call to prayer on the Mountain of God and opening up the gates of redemption.Jews inadvertently became the main presence on the Mount, something that has not happened since the destruction of the Second Temple 2,000 years ago, as a result of the misguided actions of Arab leadership following a horrifying terror attack at the Temple Mount last Friday.The global prophetic implications of the major shift on this holiest of sites, emphasized MK Yehudah Glick, an advocate of universal prayer on the Temple Mount, cannot be denied.

“This was an enormous gamechanger,” he told Breaking Israel News. “Everything is part of the geula (redemption) process, but the things that happen on the Temple Mount are especially so.“If we want to bring world peace, we have to start there.”

The unprecedented situation on the Temple Mount came about in the wake of an attack that bloodied the holy stones of the Mount. Three Palestinian terrorists killed two Israeli Druze policemen near the Temple Mount before being chased into the compound itself and neutralized.Police close Temple Mount to non-Muslims over Jewish prayer Israeli border police officers stand guard at the entrance to the Temple Mount compound in Jerusalem’s Old City, Friday, July 14, 2017. (AP/Mahmoud Illean) The picture below taken on July 14, 2017 shows the Temple Mount compound in the Old City of Jerusalem, after it was locked down earlier in the day following a terror attack.Two days later, the Temple Mount reopened with increased security measures in place for Muslims, including metal detectors of the type that have always been used to check Jewish visitors to the site. Until this recent attack, Muslims accessed the Temple Mount without undergoing any security checks.The Islamic Waqf, a Jordanian trust which controls the Temple Mount, immediately and furiously rejected the use of the detectors, calling the security measure “Israeli aggression”. Jerusalem Mufti Amin al-Husseini called for a Muslim boycott of the site and inter-Arab scuffles broke out as Waqf strongmen prevented Muslims from ascending.

The sudden lack of Waqf guards and large crowds of Muslim visitors on the Temple Mount led to an unusual situation.

Temple Mount was temporarily closed off after two officers were killed in an attack by three Arab-Israeli gunmen there.

For the first time in decades, Jews were unencumbered by Waqf guards preventing them from praying. Though the Israeli police were still ordered to stop non-Muslim prayer, many Jews were inspired to seize the rare opportunity to speak a holy word on the holy mountain. The experiences, they shared, were breathtaking.http://jewishbreakingnews.com/2017/07/17/watch-jews-allowed-pray-temple-mount-first-time-since-1967/

Rabbi Jeremy Gimpel, co-founder of the Land of Israel Network, was driven by the call to prayer. Early Wednesday morning, he began his preparations by bathing in a mikveh (ritual bath), noting that the day was especially significant because Jews are now in the three weeks of austerity leading up to Tisha B’Av (the Ninth of Av/August ), a fast day commemorating the destruction of the Temples.

When he arrived at the Temple Mount, he saw the site was teeming with Israeli police ready to cope with the threat of the hostile Muslim crowds surrounding it. Despite the tense situation, Rabbi Gimpel was moved by the clear atmosphere of holiness and felt compelled to prostrate himself on the stones as was required in the days of the Temple. The Israeli police followed orders and carried Rabbi Gimpel from the site.

Nevertheless, Rabbi Gimpel was inspired. “Something monumental is happening there right now,” Rabbi Gimpel told Breaking Israel News. “The Palestinians changed the status quo by killing Israeli policemen, but now, it is the time for us to do our part. Every Israeli is looking towards the Temple, waiting to see what happens.”He described the awe he felt at being able to fulfill the ancient commandment of prostrating oneself before the presence of God.

“Bowing down on the stones is a Torah commandment, precisely like in Temple times, and in a way we aren’t able to do when the Waqf guards are here,” Rabbi Gimpel said. “I couldn’t resist. I felt like every prayer, every mitzvah (Torah commandment) done at the Temple Mount opened the door to geula just a little more.”As Rabbi Gimpel pointed out, the potential of the situation to open up the Temple Mount to the Jews is enormous. This became clear when Knesset Member Avi Dichter (Likud) on Tuesday declared Israeli sovereignty on the Temple Mount.

“Israel is the sovereign on the Temple Mount, period. The fact that the Waqf became a sovereign on the Temple Mount ended last Friday,” announced Dichter, chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee and former head of the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), on Israeli public radio.

Politically, the current situation is tenuous. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that while he does not intend to change the status quo, which forbids non-Muslims from praying, neither will he remove the metal detectors, creating an uncertain reality on the ground.Many worldwide are praying hard that as a result of this monumental shift, Jewish sovereignty will be established on the Mount once and for all. It is certain that if Israel retains control over the holy site, an indescribably enormous step will have been taken towards the fulfillment of the Temple’s prophesied role as a place a peace, which is unlikely to happen under Muslim rule.

“Without any compromise, the Temple Mount has to be a universal House of Prayer,” said Rabbi Yehudah Glick, “and cannot be a place of violence.”
