Benjamin’s Portion
The First Decade of the 21st Century
Benjamin was the last son born to Jacob and in many ways represents the last day church; which is composed of the last spiritual sons to be born.
He was one of three people mentioned in the Bible who were born in Bethlehem along with King David & Jesus. Bethlehem literally means “house of bread: and the last day church certainly has more spiritual food and resources available to it than any other previous generation.
Benjamin had another unique characteristic- he was the only one of the patriarchs names by his father. The rest of the boys were named by their mothers. God Himself is going to name the Church in this last generation. Benjamin means “son of my right hand” in the Hebrew vernacular and it is exciting to note that God’s right hand is where Jesus sits. God’s right hand represents authority and power. There is something being entrusted to the last day church that exceeds that of any other. God has truly saved his best wine for last.
