different perspectives on Jesus's identity and Heritage crucial elements for understanding his place in historical and religious contexts before we dive deeply into Jesus's true tribe it's worth making an interesting observation have you ever wondered why Reuben Jacob's firstborn didn't inherit the blessing of the birthright this question leads us to further explore the complexities of tribal traditions and how they influence biblical narratives so get ready for a fascinating Journey as we unravel the Mysteries and interpretations about Jesus's tribal affiliation Reuben coveted his father's concubine BHA who was Rachel's maid servant because of this he lost his

rights of primogeniture as Jacob reiterated in the prophecy addressed to Reuben the let's see what Jacob said Ruben you are my first born my might and the beginning of my strength the Excellency of dignity and the Excellency of power unstable as water you shall not Excel because you went up to your father's bed then you defiled it you went up to my couch Jacob had been promised the land and spiritual inheritance of the Kingdom for his lineage traditionally as the eldest son Reuben should have received a double portion of his father's inheritance however his transgression

led to the loss of this privilege this episode is an example of how individual actions could alter the course of tribal blessings and inheritances reflecting the importance of behavior and integrity in the traditions of that time this narrative helps better contextualize the complex family and tribal dynamics that also influence Jesus's history and lineage however Reuben ended up being deprived of all these rights Jacob's next Sons in birth order were Simeon and Levi however after Jacob's daughter Dina was violated by a man from sheim Simeon and Levi sought revenge against the entire city killing all the

inhabitants and plundering their wealth this act distanced them from any consideration for the Messianic lineage let's see what Jacob said about them Simeon and Levi are brothers their swords are weapons of violence let not my soul enter their Council let not my honor be United to their assembly for in their anger they slew men and in their self-will they hamstrung oxen 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 these violent acts caus Jacob to disregard them for the

Messianic lineage leaving the path open for other of his sons this illustrates how individual actions and character influenced family Dynamics and inheritance Traditions at the time after some time Jacob had a son named Joseph the son of his favorite wife Rachel Jacob treated Joseph with special consideration as indicated by the colorful coat he gave him this favoritism aroused jealousy among Joseph's brothers leading them to conspire against him initially they planned to kill him as Envy regarding the special relationship between Joseph and his father Jacob consumed them to the point of acting irrationally Judah one of

the brothers was tempted by the prospect of Propet and suggested selling Joseph instead of Killing Him thus Joseph was sold as a slave and taken to Egypt this event marked a series of events that would ultimately consolidate the importance of Judah in Jacob's lineage and eventually in the Messianic lineage lineage the story of Joseph and his brothers is a powerful example of how envy and rivalry can lead to extreme actions but also of how Destiny can turn tragedies into triumphs Joseph despite being betrayed ended up becoming a central figure in the history of Israel demonstrating

that even the most adverse circumstances can have a higher purpose ensuring a justification for his disappearance the 11 brothers sold Joseph for 20 pieces of silver Judah taking the initiative said to his brothers what profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood come let us sell him to these ishmaelites and let not our hand be upon him for he is our brother our flesh and his brothers agreed later Judah seemed to have a change of heart when they arrived in Egypt in search of food Joseph's dreams which he had when young

were fulfilled when he saw his brothers bowing down before him Joseph recognized his brothers but did not see Benjamin among them so he asked if there were other family members upon talking about the other brother Joseph demanded that they bring Benjamin to Egypt to prove they were not spies the men returned home but when they needed to return for more food they had to convince Jacob to allow them to take Benjamin with them Judah volunteered to be responsible for Benjamin perhaps moved by the weight of guilt reflecting a sincere repentance in his heart judah's remorse

was evident when they returned to Joseph and were questioned about Benjamin when they arrived in Egypt in search of food Joseph's dreams which he had when young were fulfilled when he saw his brothers bowing down before him Joseph recognized his brothers but did not see Benjamin among them so he asked if there were other family members upon talking about about the other brother Joseph demanded that they bring Benjamin to Egypt to prove they were not spies the men returned home but when they needed to return for more food they had to convince Jacob to allow

them to take Benjamin with them Judah volunteered to be responsible for Benjamin perhaps moved by the weight of guilt reflecting a sincere repentance in his heart judah's remorse was evident when they returned to Joseph and were questioned about Benjamin according to ancient law men were supposed to marry the widows of their brothers to ensure descendants for the deceased Judah however refused to give his younger son to his daughter-in-law Tamar after the death of her husband she then devised a plan to deceive him and Judah fell into the Trap Tamar ended up becoming pregnant by Judah

when Judah discovered the truth about the pregnancy he regretted refusing to give his other other son to her and admitted that Tamar was more righteous than he Tamar is in Jesus's genealogy this is the second time that judah's repentance for his mistakes is evident Joseph's life presents remarkable similarities to that of Christ marked by injustices Redemption and a higher purpose emerging from adversity judah's ability to recognize his errors and learn from them highlights the importance of repentance and justice in the biblical narrative elements that are also essential in understanding Jesus's Ministry just as Christ Joseph

was hated by his brothers betrayed sold and unjustly accused his rise to a place of authority alongside Pharaoh mirrors Christ's resurrection and his exaltation to the right hand of God when Joseph revealed his identity to his brothers they were fearful but he assured them that he would not harm them after Jacob's death they still feared Joseph's Revenge but he reassured them again forgiving them the prophecy given to Judah did not apply to Joseph as he had been lost to him Jacob adopted Joseph's descendants as his own making them a vital part of Israel Ephraim and

Manasseh by blessing Joseph's two sons Jacob indicated a double portion for Joseph in his Blessing although the birthright was given to Judah and the kingdom inherit was also granted to Judah Joseph's two sons replaced Reuben as the firstborn due to the latter's actions these are the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel indeed he was the firstborn but because he defiled his father's bed his rights as firstborn were transferred to the sons of Joseph this outcome underscores themes of redemption and forgiveness where even those who have been marginalized or ered deeply have the chance to

find find a new position and responsibility within the larger plan Joseph's story and the transfer of the birthright highlight mercy and Justice essential elements in the biblical narrative that also reflect Christ's Mission so Ruben was not listed in the genealogical records as the first son Jacob's prophecies about his sons were Visions for the future whose meaning not everyone immediately understood when Jacob's descendants settled in the promis land many of Jacob's words were fulfilled as the tribes established and divided the land the tribe of Juda played a crucial role in biblical prophecies and in Humanity's Redemption

these prophecies foresaw that a ruler the Messiah would arise from the tribe of Judah bringing with him the Eternal Kingdom and salvation for all this lineage and mission of the tribe of Judah are fulfilled in Jesus Christ who is a direct descendant of this tribe and recognized as the Messiah through judah's lineage the Kings of Israel arose including the renowned King David as predicted by Messianic prophecies several biblical passages emphasize the vital role of the tribe of Judah in God's Eternal plan highlighting the Fulfillment of prophecies through judah's lineage and the coming of the Messiah

this connection between judah's history and the coming of Jesus unders scores the importance of fidelity to God's promises and how he works through generations to accomplish his purposes these teachings illuminate The crucial significance of the tribe of Judah in Humanity's restoration and the establishment of the Eternal Kingdom Jesus being from the tribe of Judah is of great importance as he fulfills the Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah the blessing pronounced by Jacob in Genesis predicts that leaders will rise from judah's lineage let see Judah is a lion's Cub from the prey my son you have

gone up he stooped down he crouched as a lion and as a lioness Who Dares Rouse him the scepter shall not depart from Judah nor the rulers staff from between his feet until tribute comes to him and to him shall be The Obedience of the peoples it's also worth mentioning the illusion to the lion of the tribe of Judah in Revelation which establishes a connection contion between Jesus and this lineage let see and one of the elders said to me weep no more Behold The Lion of the tribe of Judah the root of David has

conquered so that he can open the scroll and its Seven Seals the description of Jesus as the lion of the tribe of Judah holds profound meanings on various Dimensions firstly it's related to the lineage of Jacob's sons as Judah was one of the 12 sons of Jacob and played a fundamental role in the history of the people of Israel this image of the lion symbolizing strength leadership and Authority perfectly aligns with Jesus's mission as the one who fulfills and transcends Messianic expectations bringing salvation and spiritual leadership to All Nations secondly judah's role in God's Redemptive

plan is highlighted as it was through judah's descendants that the promis Messiah Jesus came into the world the importance of Jesus being a descendant of the tribe of Judah is emphasized as it fulfills the prophecy that the Messiah would come from this tribe furthermore the connection between Jacob his wives and the birth of his sons is also crucial to understanding the importance of Jesus belonging to the tribe of Judah the name Judah means praise reflecting the Gratitude and praise expressed by Jacob's wife Leah when he was born this meaning attributed to the name Judah resonates

in the person of Jesus as the ultimate source of praise and Redemption for all Humanity this lineage plays a crucial role in Jesus's role as the Messiah as he fulfills specific prophecies about the Messiah coming from the lineage of Judah in addition to Jacob's blessing various other prophecies from the Old Testament such as those from Isaiah and Micah also anticipated that the Messiah would arise from the lineage of Judah for example The Book of Micah specifies but you o Bethlehem EPA who are too little to be among the clans of Judah from you shall come

forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel these prophecies emphasize the humble and unexpected origin of the Messiah coming from a small City within a specific tribe underscoring the surprising way way in which God fulfills his Redemptive purposes Jesus's identification with the tribe of Judah not only fulfills Messianic prophecy but also highlights his mission of leadership and salvation a central figure in the history of redemption Jesus's Origins are rooted in the distant past in ancient times and by being a descendant of the tribe of Judah he fulfills these prophecies and establishes his

legitimacy as the long-awaited Messiah this connect contion with the tribe of Judah confirms Jesus's identity as the Messiah and highlights the continuity and fulfillment of the promises of the Old Testament through his person in conclusion Isaiah prophesies confirming the birth and purpose of Jesus Christ as a descendant of Judah let's see there shall come forth a chute from the stump of Jesse and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit and the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him the SP Spirit of wisdom and understanding the spirit of counsel and might the spirit of

knowledge and the fear of the Lord and his Delight shall be in the fear of the Lord he shall not judge by what his eyes see or decide disputes by what his ears hear but with righteousness he shall judge the poor and decide with equity for the meek of the earth and he shall strike the Earth with the rod of his mouth and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked these words from Isaiah illustrate the profound connection between Jesus and the Messianic expectations of the Old Testament highlighting his mission of Justice

wisdom and compassion Jesus's figure as a just judge and defender of the poor emphasizes his Divine mission to bring Salvation And Justice to the world for Christians there is no doubt that Jesus is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament fulfilling the prophecies and establishing a new kingdom of of peace and Justice as a descendant of the tribe of Judah Jesus is Central in Messianic prophecies but how can we be sure of this while faith in Christ is crucial for the certainty that he is the savior of humanity there are several references in the Old

Testament that indirectly confirm Jesus as the Messiah since the time of Creation in Genesis there have been prophecies that were fulfilled in Jesus Christ when he came into the world there are new ous correspondences between passages of the Old and New Testaments all related to the Messiah and Jesus I'll highlight some Old Testament prophecies that were fulfilled in Jesus Christ evidencing that no other man fulfilled all these requirements described in the prophecies about the Messiah so precisely for those who do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah such as many non- Messianic Jews these correspondences

may be seen only as mere coincidences however using common sense it's hard to ignore the improbability of so many coincidences see for yourself the parallels and draw your own conclusions the earliest prophecy about the Messiah is in Genesis 3:15 where it's mentioned that the Messiah will be The Offspring of the woman and will crush the head of the serpent this prophecy is seen as an illusion to Jesus's definitive victory over evil represented by the serpent the Fulfillment of this prophecy is a fundamental example of the continuity of God's Redemptive plan from the oldest scriptures to

the coming of Christ exploring these prophecies and understanding their fulfillments in Jesus not only strengthens the faith of many Christians but also provides a compelling perspective for those seeking historical and textual evidence of the claims of the New Testament by analyzing these texts we can see how the biblical narratives intertwine deeply and meaningfully underscoring Jesus's uniqueness as the fulfiller of divine promises throughout all Biblical history this prophecy is supported by the Book of John 3:8 and in the epistle to the Galatians chter 4 it's clearly evidenced in Genesis that the Messiah would descend from Abraham

a connection ratified by Jesus's genealogy presented in the gospel of Matthew concerning Isaac the prophecy clarifies that the Messiah would not come from Ishmael or another son of Abraham but exclusively from Isaac as outlined in Genesis regarding Jacob it's prophesied that the Messiah would emerge from his lineage namely from Israel as exposed in Genesis 28 in the Book of Numbers the Messiah is described as the star of Jacob who will reign this prophecy is fulfilled in the gospel of Matthew and is explicitly mentioned mentioned in Revelation let's see I Jesus have sent my angel to

give you this testimony for the churches I am the root and The Offspring of David and the Bright Morning Star among the 12 tribes of Israel the Messiah would specifically come from the tribe of Judah as previously explained David's lineage is therefore fundamental extending into eternity as Malachi prophesies that the Messiah would be Eternal in the New Testament this is Eternal characteristic is attributed to Christ the son of God in the Old Testament the Messiah is often referred to as the Son of God as we can observe in Psalms and Proverbs texts in the gospels

of Matthew and Luke Jesus is recognized with this same designation the Divine name adoni is also applied to the Messiah in Prophecies of Isaiah and Jeremiah and this identification is corroborated in the New Testament in letters to the Romans and Philippians according to the prophecies the Messiah was to arrive at a specific time marked years after the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem Jesus fulfills this prophecy of temporality as recorded in Matthew and Luke furthermore the place of his birth was accurately predicted he would be born in Bethlehem of Judah as the prophet Micah announced

this event is documented in the gospels of Matthew and Luke occurring during the C ordered by the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus the miraculous nature of his birth was also foreseen the Messiah would be born of a virgin as stated in Isaiah Mary the mother of Jesus and still a virgin fits this prophecy as detailed again in Matthew moreover the Messiah would receive worship from figures of great importance this prophecy is manifested in the visit and worship of the Magi reported in the second chapter of Matthew it was also predicted that the Messiah would be preceded

by a Herald who would cry out in the wilderness announcing his arrival according to Isaiah 40 and Malachi 3 John the Baptist fulfills this role preparing the way for Jesus as narrated in Matthew the Messiah would be Anointed with the spirit of God as described in Isaiah 11 and Psalm 45 this anointing manifested in Jesus as documented in the gospels of Matthew and John as well as in the book of Acts where Jesus is portrayed receiving the Holy Spirit similar to Moses the Messiah would also be a prophet Deuteronomy tells us I will raise up

for them a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites and I will put my words in his mouth he will tell them everything I command him Jesus fulfilled this role communicating God's Will and guiding the people according to the scriptures the messiah's ministry would be be extraordinarily transformative Isaiah prophesies the spirit of The Sovereign Lord is on me because the Lord has anointed me to Proclaim good news to the poor he has sent me to bind up the Brokenhearted to Proclaim freedom for the captives and release from Darkness for the prisoners to proclaim the

year of the Lord's favor and the day of Vengeance of our God Jesus embodied these words by uplifting the downtrodden claiming freedom to the oppressed and announcing a time of renewal and hope furthermore the Messiah would bring a Healing Ministry as prophesied by Isaiah then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped then will the lame leap like a deer and the mute tongue shout for Joy Jesus performed numerous healings confirming this prophecy through his miracles which restored health and hope among the people Waters will burst forth in

the wilderness and streams in the desert as for the immaculate nature of the Messiah Isaiah tells us that although he was buried with the wicked and among the rich after his death he did not commit violence nor was deceit found in his mouth this passage emphasizes his Purity and innocence in Jerusalem fulfilling an ancient prophecy Jesus entered the city riding on a donkey an event narrated in both Matthew and Mark this event was predicted in Zechariah who exclaims Rejoice greatly daughter Zion shout daughter Jerusalem see your king comes to you righteous and Victorious lowly and

riding on a donkey on a Colt the fo of a donkey the rejection of the Messiah by his own people was also foretold Isaiah describes this sad truth he was despised and rejected by mankind a man of suffering and familiar with pain like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised and we held him in low esteem moreover the Betrayal that the Messiah would suffer from an intimate friend was predicted in the Psalms even my close friend someone I trusted one who shared my bread has turned against me this prophecy highlights the depth

of the Betrayal Jesus would face a painful experience that underscores the extent of his Redemptive Mission as prophesied by the prophet Zechariah the Messiah would be sold for 30 pieces of silver he himself said if you think it's right pay me but if not don't so they counted out for my wages 30 pieces of silver furthermore Zechariah also predicted that the Messiah would be abandoned by his disciples strike the shepherd and the Sheep will be scattered in the psalm it is foretold that the Messiah would be the target of mockery all who see me mock

me they H insults shaking their heads he trusts in the Lord they say let the Lord rescue him let him deliver him since he Delights in him Isaiah also prophesied that the Messiah would be beaten I offered my back to those who beat me my cheeks to those who pulled out my beard I did not hide my face from mocking and spitting regarding the crucifixion this Destiny of Jesus was also foreseen in the Old Testament the Psalms describe the scene with Vivid details dogs surround me a pack of villains encircles me the psalmist prophesied that

the Messiah would feel thirsty during his execution this was fulfilled in Jesus my Vigor dried up like a pot shur and my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth you lay me in the dust of death instead of water vinegar would be given to the Messiah to drink as foretold in the psalm this event happened exactly as predicted they gave me vinegar for my thirst the psalm also prophesies that the Messiah would be executed without any bones being broken this was confirmed during Jesus's crucifixion he protects all his bones not one of them will

be broken Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would be buried with the rich after his death Matthew confirms that Jesus was buried with the rich he was assigned a grave with the wicked and with the rich in his death though he had done no violence nor was any deceit in his mouth we've seen how Jesus fulfilled numerous prophecies from the Old Testament confirming his Divine Mission fascinating isn't it like comment share and subscribe to the channel for more inspiring content thank you for watching
