Jacob blesses his sons

Genesis 49:1-33
Reuben, you are my firstborn, Turbulent as the waters, you will no longer excel.
Simeon and Levi are brothers— their swords are weapons of violence. I will scatter them in Jacob and disperse them in Israel.
Judah, your brothers will praise you;  your hand will be on the neck of your enemies;   your father’s sons will bow down to you. You are a lion’s cub, Judah;  you return from the prey, my son. Like a lion he crouches and lies down, like a lioness—who dares to rouse him? The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until he to whom it belongs shall come and the obedience of the nations shall be his.
Joseph is a fruitful vinea fruitful vine near a spring, whose branches climb over a wall. But his bow remained steady, his strong arms stayed limber, because of the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob, because of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel,
Let all these rest on the head of Josephon the brow of the prince among his brothers.
The spoken blessing looks to the distant future when the descendants of these twelve will occupy the promised land. For the territories.
Why?
The Spirit in Jacob is clear and goes with the Lord, Jacob the future of his sons and his descendent will be and their territories in the promised land.
Judah will be a great one in Isreal, Jesus will come from this tribe.

每個基督徒一個提醒我們因為放縱情慾就失去應有的尊榮及地位。
利未及西緬因情緒受審判,懲罰。但是利未後來因神改變他們分散各地成為祝福。
葡萄酒多到可以洗衣服,表示很豐盛。
以薩加為更好生活,願意吃苦當別人僕人。
猶大是王者。
約瑟多結果子,受攻擊中有神的保護。約瑟情形很像基督徒的情形。
雅各按照各人的福分所說,即他們依靠神的情形而定。
猶大很謙卑,在他瑪的事上,承認自己的錯誤,悔改,所以蒙福。

How?
Walking with the Lord is the best way in our life.
