THE TWELVE
TRIBES OF ISRAEL
Greetings in
the Mighty One of Yisra'el! In learning who the Twelve Tribes
of Yisra'el, biblically are, we have to know about the Promise, Yahwah gave Ahdawm until now.
The Abrahamic Covenant is very important to know first of all.
"Now Yah had said
unto 'Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father`s house, unto a land that I will
shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."
(Bereshyt-Genesis 12:2,3)
"And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward
heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. And he believed in
Yah; and he counted it to him for righteousness." (Bereshyt 15:5,6)
"And I will establish my Covenant between me and thee
and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a Elohiym unto thee, and to thy seed after
thee."( Genesis 17:7) Abraham gave Isaac the covenant, after becoming the father of many nations by Yah.
COVENANT TO ISAAC
"Sojourn in this land, and I will be with
thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath
which I sware unto 'Abraham thy father; And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy
seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed. " Gen 26:3,4) Yitschaq then gave the
covenant to Ya'aqob his son. He had two sons, Esav & Ya'aqob, but Ya'aqob stole both the birthright/blessings,
for this is prophetical.
COVENANT TO JACOB
"And Yah said unto him, Thy name is Ya'aqob: thy
name shall not be called any more Ya'aqob, but Yisra'el shall be thy name: and he called his name Yisra'el. And Yah said
unto him, I am El Shadday: be fruitful and mutiply; a Nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall
come out of thy loins; And the land which I gave Abraham and Yitschaq, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee
will I give the land."( Genesis 35:10-12) A Nation and a company of nations shall come from Jacob. This promise
is even seen today as the Israelites grew from a small group to a very large population, scattered among
the different nations.
ISRAEL'S SEED
Ya'aqob(Yisra'el) had thirteen children, Ra'uwbayn,
Shim'own, Lewiy, Yahuwdah, Dan, Naphtaliy, Gad, Asher, Yissakhar, Zabuluwn, Diynah, Yowceph, & Binyamiyn. Raqhel/Le'ah
(his wives), & Bilhah/Zilphah,(their maids) conceived them all. Israel blessed them chronologically as, Reuben,
Simeon, Levi, Judah, Zebulun, Issachar, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Joseph, & Benjamin(Israel's Twelve Tribes). Dinah represents the Tribes, & all women. Later on, the Twelve Tribes of Israel became twelve
great nations. Joseph's brothers sold him into Egypt, & he became a mighty/rich ruler. He invited his whole family
there, & the Nation of Israel prospered. " And the children of Yisra'el were fruitful, and increased
abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them." (Exodus 1:7)
ISRAEL, THE GREAT NATION
"And he said, I am Yah, Elowah of thy father:
fear not to go down into Mitsrayim; for I will there make of thee a great nation:" (Gen 46:3) After Yowceph(Joseph)
died, an evil Pharoah reigned, & enslaved the Children of Yisra'el. Mosheh(Moses) was a Prince
of Egypt, but born 'Ibriy(Hebrew). Yah called Moses as a Prophet, to free the Israelites. He & his
brother, Aharon(Aaron), hardened the Pharoah's heart by Yah. The king didn't listen, & so he suffered the
consequences, with seven deadly plagues. Israel was delivered by Yah, & dwelled within the wilderness.
They became ungrateful towards Mosheh, & disobeyed Yah with idolatry. The different nations enslaved Israel
too, through this idolatrous act, read Judges 1-21. We must learn that idol worship is a serious sin! Israel must
only worship YHWH, not flesh, blood, wood, nor stone!
THE NEW COVENANT
Based on the scriptures, Yah would
give us the New Covenant. What is this new covenant? It came to fulfill the Law & the
Prophets, not take it away from us. ('Ibriy 8: 8-13) Yisra'el has received the Grace of Yah, through Yahshua
Ha Mashiyach. "But we believe that through the grace of the Master Yahshua we shall be saved, even as they.
"(Acts 15:11) " Being justified freely by his grace through redemption that is in Messiah Yahshua" (Romans
3:24) Grace through faith is very important for Israel! For Yahshua truly
sacrificed Himself for all of us. " Him hath Yah exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Savior,
for to give repentance to Yisra'el, and forgiveness of sins. (Acts 5: 31) Yahshua Ha Mashiyach is Malakh in
the glory of Yahwah the Father!
ISRAEL OF YHWH
The Bible teaches about this Yisra'el
of Yah. Ahdawm & Chawah(Adam & Eve) became the first sinners, but Yahshua redeemed us with His
precious blood! Yisra'el has a Mediator between Yah and man, the Man Messiah
Yahshua! In the earlier times, Yahwah gave us the Hebrew Messianic Faith, but some Israelites refused it, &
denied their Creator & His Messiah, Yahshua. However, the good news is, the Israel of Yah is presently accepting
this faith again! For Israel is a Commonwealth that YHWH sent to preach the Gospel to the other
nations. Israelites are originally Shemitic, but some had Hamitic
relations, & maybe Japhethic too. We are now dispersed throughout the world, but shall be
regathered again! Knowing how populated the world is now, it might be difficult to know who are
really Yisra'el. Some of us human beings, not all, actually came from these ancient Israelites(black and brown peoples).
Abraham's physical/spiritual seed is
here today. " Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are
the children of Abraham. And if ye be Yahshua's, then are ye Abraham's seed, & heirs according to the promise.(Gal
3:7, 29) This scrip teaches us that anyone can accept the Faith, & not just the Nation of Israel only. Yet, Yisra'el
are the seed of Abraham, because he was a Hebrew(Ibriy) himself. One of these promises is that we would be
given the land of Palestine & it shall be granted to us in the Kingdom of Yah! This holy land is a part of Eden,
& the whole African Edenic territory shall be ours by Yah(Genesis 15:18-21). No one couldn't refute this
truth at all, these are Biblical facts. In the New Yerushalayim, we will sing unto YAHWAH, "Great
and Marvellous are your works, El Shadday; just and true are your ways, O King of saints." (Rev 15:3) Let us worship the
Most High, for making Yisra'el, His Nation, whom the other nations should be following after! " Israel was
sent to show the way!"
"Unto which promise our Twelve Tribes, instantly
serving YHWH day and night, hope to come. "(Acts 26:7)
A daily Bible reading, can spiritually reveal,
The Twelve Tribes of Israel to you indeed! Thanks to Yah for the Twelve Patriarchs for showing us who the Twelve Tribes
really are, & why we should see ourselves as Israelites of YHWH. Sehlah.
BLESSED BE YAH, ELOHIYM OF YISRA'EL!!
