Verses 1-2
“1And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
“Gather together and hear,
You sons of Jacob,
And listen to Israel
Your father.”
– Genesis 49:1-2 (NKJV)
“And Jacob called ○ his sons (□ as one father, named Jacob, calls his biological sons forth to himself in the natural) and said, “Gather together, that I may (the privilege of being the very mouthpiece of God [Exodus 4:12]) tell you (verbally, as a matter of uttered consequence that cannot be retracted once it has gone forth [Isaiah 55:11]) what shall (for : Thus. Sayeth. The LORD.) befall you (literally: come upon you; let us hear echoes also of the form of That Great White Throne Judgment and fear!) in the last days (another phrase at which to tremble at this hour dear reader): “Gather together (a second time he implores them thus for it is a matter of importance that these words are spoken and heard “in the assembly” amongst “a host of witnesses”; Israel not only in its individual parts but also as a gestalt whole) and hear ○, you sons of Jacob (you, the very first descendants of the third and final Patriarch of The Faith), And listen ○ to Israel your father * (□ as one Nation, named Israel, calls Its Tribes forth to Itself in the spirit prophetically).”
○ Come, hear and answer The Call that ye might Live!
* You have been Fathered by A Nation, even God Himself – Who Hold All Together Within Himself – and you, in turn, will father a nation, for such is the character and manner of God: Beginning and End; Alpha and Omega, cyclical, full-circle, complete in Himself . . .
