In these closing chapters we come to the end of Jacobs’s life and the key parts of this is the blessings that Israel gives to his children.  I have to say that some of them weren’t blessings at all.  Now Israel blessed Joseph’s children first and as what happened to Jacob will now happen to Joseph.  The younger will be blessed over the older.  The first is last and the last is first now doesn’t that ring a bell?  I want you to pay close attention to the blessings of Israel in Chapter 49 and if you can get a map of the land of Israel from the Bible and lay it over a current map you will see some scary revelations between the blessings that Israel gave and how the countries in the history since is revealed.  You will also notice in this that the land promised to Abraham’s descendants has shrunk tremendously.  Now at the end of this book Joseph dies and the oppression of Israelites has already begun.  Joseph was not buried when he died; he was put in a coffin.  They were not allowed to carry him to the burial place of his father and his brothers promised to bury him in the land of his fathers.  Oh the fun is just beginning stay tuned God has a message for you.
