Benjamin the Cup/Sceptre of Christ

The Divine Truth of Benjamin, the 12th son, sceptre/cup: Lamed


SUMMARY:

This is a research area I have put a labor of love into, since 2005.

The discovery of the Kingship of Christ, is not new to any of us as Christians.
Interesting, as I continued to unfold the Biblical facts about the 12th son, of Jacob, ' Benjamin '
. . . I could see how the story of a `cup` being placed in Benjamin's sack, was a type of `cup` reference to Christ commentary : ' Let this cup pass from me ' . . .

From this viewpoint, it exposed a beginning(alpha) and ending(omega) theme of the Kingship bloodline of authority from God(IHVH), of the divine geneology of Christ.

The cup, represents a chalice.

Mary carried the divine seed of Christ, in the womb. (chalice symbol)

Rachel mother of Benjamin, died in childbirth.

Christ died, and is resurrected.

Benjamin is a paper trail ( investigative term ) : from the tribe of Benjamin came the first king of Israel: Saul.
Centuries later, Mordechay and Esther the Queen, are Benjaminite too.
Paul, is also a Benjaminite.

Christ is our High Priest.

Aaron's Breastplate of Judgement, worn by High Priest, represents the 1st born son of
Jacob as Reuben, sardine stone on the breastplate.
The 12th born, Benjamin, represents the jasper stone on the breastplate.

Christ is compared in the New Testament to the corner stone.

My research is to prove without a doubt, that the pattern (shadow) is to be very much paid
attention to between Benjamin the 12th son and Christ the Messiah, `Son of God '.

Benjamin means, ` Son of the Right Hand '.
Christ sits on the Right Hand of the Father.

With 12 sons of Jacob, why would the Temple Mount geography be Benjamin territory ?
Why would the first King of Israel be Benjaminite ?
Why would both Mordechay & Queen Esther be Benjaminite ?
Why would Paul, be Benjaminite ?

In understanding the Hebrew alphabet, the Tribe of Benjamin is the alphabet `Lamed`.

Lamed is a sceptre symbol:
Lamed is not only the ox-goad but also the shepherd's staff. So it is naturally extendable to the sceptre/rod of Christ.

Christ is the Good Shepherd.

Lamed means numerical 30.

Christ betrayal was from 30 pieces of silver. ( symbolic of Benjamin's silver cup in the bag )

Go read why the silver cup was put in Benjamin's bag and it reveals the paper trail back to the betrayal of Joseph. Christ was betrayed. Joseph, was betrayed. The 30 pieces of silver lead backward to the Lamed/sceptre of Christ. The Lamed means again, numerical 30.

Genesis 44:12
And he searched and began at the eldest and left at the youngest and
the cup was found in Benjamin's sack

First . . . I want to present to you `The Alphabetic Labyrinth`, author Johanna Drucker. Richard has this book also, he stated on a former post. I think he called it very academic. Do not hold me to that . . . until I review his exact commentary about the book.

Let us start the `Benjamin the Cup/Sceptre of Christ`, research . . .


`The Alphabetic Labyrinth`, author Johanna Drucker:

Page #149 . . . has the Lamed, as associated with the tribe of Benjamin. As the image of a goad or prod, Lamed is the sign used to prompt action. It therefore symbolizes directed energy which requires sacrifice and gains the esoteric value of the 'sacrifice' necessary to accomplish any action.



THE BIG QUESTION ?
Now I will address your question ( ? ) about :

But I don't understand in what way it relates to Benjamim the 12th son and the cup that was hidden in his bag. I also don't understand why you put "cup/sceptre" together. ?


QUOTE (crownsevenalphabet @ May 4 2008, 05:50 AM)
The sceptre of Christ authority is represented in Lamed.

Also the 12th son, Benjamin, who the cup/sceptre was hidden in his bag . . . is related. As in the last part of the human being is considered the feet. The head being first.


( Victor commentary )

Hey C7, I certainly can relate the letter Lamed to Christ's sceptre, since they have the same form. Lamed is not only the ox-goad but also the shepherd's staff. So it is naturally extendable to the sceptre/rod of Christ.

But I don't understand in what way it relates to Benjamim the 12th son and the cup that was hidden in his bag. I also don't understand why you put "cup/sceptre" together.


Victor:

Once you really see historical wise, who Benjamin was and who the Biblical characters in the legacy of the sceptre through the 12th son Benjamin are in the ' Word'. You will without a doubt, see how the cup/sceptre are put together. I hope I can help you with this very important set of Biblical principles.


If the feet are the last area of the human body, and the head is the first. Then just as Lamed is symbolic of the sceptre as connected to the crucifixation of Christ . . . the 12th Son of Jacob, is the last . . . the final . . . the omega . . . called : Benjamin

The first son of Jacob, Reuben, meaning ' Behold A Son '. (symbolic of the human head/alpha)
The last son of Jacob, Benjamin, meaning ' Son of the Right Hand'. (symbolic of the human feet/omega)

http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/radio073.htm
. . . Revelation 4:3. "He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and a rainbow, glowing like an emerald, encircled the throne".
The Book of Revelation employs Old Testament symbols. Each of the Twelve Tribes had a birth stone engraved with its name, affixed to the breastplate of the High Priest. Jasper was the birth stone of Benjamin, Jacob's last son. Sardine was the birth stone of Reuben, the first of his strength.

Jasper and sardine, show that all are gathered into Christ. As we read in Ephesians 1:10, "After all seven Church Ages, He'll gather together in one all things in Christ - the sleeping saints already in heaven, and the living bride on earth". The first and the last. (I Corinthians 15 and I Thessalonians 4:16 tell the same story).




Reader's should refresh themselves with the scriptures about how the cup, was found in Benjamin's sack . . .

Genesis 44:12
And he searched and began at the eldest and left at the youngest and
the cup was found in Benjamin's sack



http://www.hadassah.org.il/English/Eng_Mai...ah/BENJAMIN.htm
The silver cup placed in Benjamin's sack, reveals the secret
encoded message of Temple Mount and from the tribe of Benjamin
came the first king of Israel...and from the tribe of
Benjamin will the last King of Israel rise ? ?


Benjamin is the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel. Rachel died at his
birth.

From the tribe of Benjamin came the first king of Israel: Saul.
Centuries later, Mordechay and Esther the Queen, are Benjaminite too.
This is the meaning of Jacob's blessing.

Although Jerusalem formally belongs to no tribe, the Temple Mount is
situated in the territory of Benjamin. This explains the Mose's
blessing.

The large circle in the center symbolizes unity. Saul of the tribe of
Benjamin, the first king of the entire Israel, united the separate
tribes (the smaller circles) into one kingdom.



http://www.britam.org/benjamin.html
. . . the wolf of Benjamin symbolizes the altar in the Holy Temple (the altar was in the territory of Benjamin), upon which the animal sacrifices were offered.

In the Jewish people itself, the "lamb," Benjamin--symbolized as the "preying wolf"--is thus the "wolf within the lamb."





http://bible.cc/matthew/26-39.htm
King James Bible
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Matthew 26:39

Let this cup pass from me. This cup is the betrayal, the trial, the mocking, the scourging, the cross, and all besides which our thoughts cannot reach.

Scofield Reference Notes

[2] cup

The "cup" must be interpreted by our Lord's own use of that symbol in speaking of His approaching sacrificial death Mt 20:22 Jn 18:11. In view of Jn 10:17,18, He could have been in no fear of an unwilling death. The value of the account of the agony in the Garden is in the evidence it affords that He knew fully what the agony of the cross would mean when His soul was made an offering for sin, Isa 53:10, in the hiding of the Father's face. Knowing the cost to the utmost, he voluntarily paid it.

And I conclude with this Victor :

. . . between the border of Judah and the border of Benjamin, shall be for the prince.[Ezekiel 48:22]


32 And at the EAST side...one gate of Benjamin...

43:[OUTER GATE]...ONE FACING EAST IS TO BE SHUT...
~ T H E P R I N C E HIMSELF IS THE ONLY ONE TO ENTER THIS GATE ~

43:4...THE GLORY OF THE LORD ENTERED THE ~TEMPLE~ THROUGH THE
GATE FACING E A S T. .

47:1...~THE TEMPLE FACED EAST~...



And the sceptre/cup continues through the New Testament, bloodline of Paul :

Paul of the Tribe of Benjamin.
Romans 11:1 . . . I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid.
For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of
Benjamin.
