Benjamin? I never said God's Birthright was transferred to Benjamin, the youngest.
I tend to write a lot when explaining something in order to keep things simple, so it requires reading with patience. Try that.
Reuben was the firstborn, but he defiled his father Jacob's bed (1 Chronicles 5). So the Birthright went to Joseph and then to his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh.
My point about the Birthright is that it is 'THE' Birthright from GOD Himself. Its origin is not from a flesh father, but from God Himself. It is what God's Blessings first given to Abraham are about, and The Gospel of Jesus Christ is included in it, because God first gave Abraham The Promise of The Spirit through Faith, and Abraham believed, and God counted Abraham's Faith as righteousness. Thus Apostle Paul in Galatians 3 said all those of Faith on The Promise have become the children of Abraham. Christ met Abraham, as He showed at the end of John 8. And this happened about 430 years prior to Moses and the giving of the law.
Then God's Birthright was transferred from Abraham to his son Isaac, and then to his son Jacob, and then his son Joseph, and then to his two sons Ephraim and Manasseh where the Birthright still is to this day.
1. It contained the Blessing of a seed as many as the stars and sands of the sea.
2. Plenty of corn (wheat) and wine (i.e, best food and resources of the earth).
3. Controlling the gates of one's enemies (strongest military in the world).
4. And of course care of The Gospel of Jesus Christ.
5. And possession of the throne of David.
6. And wherever the majority of God's chosen Israel is, that is where His Birthright will be located amongst.
Like Joseph, the ten tribes of the northern
"kingdom of Israel", with one of the tribe of Ephraim as king which God made, they were separated from the Jew's
"kingdom of Judah" in the south, and scattered first out of the holy land, and became lost to the world and to the Jews. The Jews kept their heritage as part of Israel by keeping God's laws, His sabbaths and holy days, etc. But the ten tribes of Israel lost their heritage as God made that happen, and they were scattered among Gentiles, living like Gentiles until most of them to this day think they are Gentiles. Yet God showed He is going to remind them who they really are when He gathers them back to the lands He promised their fathers when Jesus comes. This prophecy is written in the Book of Hosea about the ten lost tribes. As of right now, only a small remnant of them know who they are and their origins. And the fact that the Scottish nobles wrote about their heritage from Israel in the Declaration Of Arbroath in 1320 A.D. proves how far west into Europe they migrated and lived, which also is not a popular subject with today's secularist historians. Even with the nation of Denmark, the Danes pronounce as 'Dan-mark', which Biblically was one of the traits of the tribe of Dan when they would conquer a new land, they would put their name upon it. These events fulfilled the prophecy in Genesis 35 that Jacob's seed would become
"a company of nations", and per Genesis 48 that Ephraim's seed would become
"a multitude of nations".
Also, when Lord Jesus said He was not sent but unto the lost sheep of the
"house of Israel", after the split of old Israel in Solomon's day, that
"house of Israel" label meant ONLY about the northern ten tribes of Israel and not the Jews of the southern
"house of Judah". The Jews today attempt to claim that
"house of Israel" label is only about them, but they lie against God's written Word about it. Those are the
"synagogue of Satan" doing that, as Satan tries to steal what belongs to God, because he wants to be God.
I have a European heritage from both Scotland and the Gauls of France, which both have links to the Cimmerian and Scythian tribes that migrated from the east into Europe. The name Celt ('C' pronounced like a 'K' is from the Cimmerian tribes, with it's 'C' also pronounced as a 'K' as in Keltic.) The ancient Galatians were the Gauls, a name the Romans called the Celts that migrated from the east (areas of ancient Turkey), and settled in central and western Europe. Today's area of France was once called Celtica, made up of the Gauls. Galatia in the area of ancient Greece where a group of them settled became a province of the Roman empire. These were who Apostle Paul wrote his Epistle Galatians to.
The following is taken from the Scottish Declaration of Arbroath written in 1320 A.D.:
Most Holy Father and Lord, we know and from the chronicles and books of the ancients we find that among other famous nations our own, the Scots, has been graced with widespread renown.
They journeyed from Greater Scythia by way of the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Pillars of Hercules, and dwelt for a long course of time in Iberia [1] among the most savage tribes, but nowhere could they be subdued by any race, however barbarous.
Thence they came, twelve hundred years after the people of Israel crossed the Red Sea, to their home in the west where they still live today.
The Britons they first drove out, the Picts they utterly destroyed, and, even though very often assailed by the Norwegians, the Danes and the English, they took possession of that home with many victories and untold efforts; and, as the historians of old time bear witness, they have held it free of all bondage ever since.
In their kingdom there have reigned one hundred and thirteen kings of their own royal stock, the line unbroken a single foreigner.
The high qualities and deserts of these people, were they not otherwise manifest, gain glory enough from this: that the King of kings and Lord of lords, our Lord Jesus Christ, after His Passion and Resurrection, called them, even though settled in the uttermost parts of the earth, almost the first to His most holy faith.
Translators of the Royal Correspondence of The Assyrian Empire, written in the cuneiform tablets of Ancient Assyria, have linked the names of what the Assyrians called the ten tribe Israelites they took captive. The Assyrian names point to the Cimmerian and Scythian tribes that migrated in stages into Asia Minor and Europe and became the western nations. Modern field of anthropology keeps hiding the fact that the Cimmerians and Scythians migrated further westward into western Europe and became the people known as Caucasians because they were traced from north of the Black Sea around the Caucasus Mountains.
But it's alright if you are not aware of all this, because when Jesus returns, everyone is going to know where God scattered the ten lost tribes of Israel, and who they are today. God said He would do that in the Ezekiel 39 Chapter which covers the end of this present world.
Now if... you are... aware of all this, and want to slander it because you follow the "synagogue of Satan", then no worries, for that attitude will be taken care of soon enough by Christ Jesus Himself as timing His coming today is now very, very short.
