During the times of Yakov and his 12 sons, the nation of Israel were being tutored by their patriarch father how to worship their Covenant GOD and how to live before Him just as his fathers did.
.
He was chosen by GOD from birth to carry the Massiahnic line.
.
And now one of his children will surely be blessed just as he was, and he will pass on the Blessing of Abraham, his grandfather to him.
.
His preferred sons was Yosef and BenYamin. Sons of his chosen wife Rachel.
.
And the story of Yosef the Dreamer we know, but we also know that the Messiahnic Blessing fell on Yudah, fourth son of Leah.
.
Yosef had played his part, and Yakov in his heart and mind surely hoped that his sons thru his wife Rachel wud be chosen.
.
But the LORD had a different idea.
.
Yudah (praise) got the blessing. It passed on to Perez (by Tamar), up to Obed, to Jesse, then to David.
.
Yet we know as well that the first choice for king was Saul, who was a descendant of BenYamin. So the LORD gave Saul a chance of being in the Line of Messiah.
.
But David got the Blessing, and the rest was history.
.
David was a king, but he was also a prophet and wore the linen clothing for priests.
.
All these spiritual offices functioned in Davids life, thru the Blessing of Abraham.
.
These offices of king and priest was given either thru being chosen by the LORD and thru bloodline.
.
All these were restricted to the bloodline after them, but there was a spiritual position in the heavenlies that was not in these restrictions-- it was the Calling to be a Judge in Israel.
.
During those times when Yehoshua took the promised land, some of their enemies were spared. The LORD used these to rise up against Israel to test them, to know what was in their hearts do to with them.
.
When their enemies became numerous again, the LORD allowed them to rise up to tempt Israel and afflict them. And when they overpowered Israel, they cried out to the LORD for help.
.
And the LORD called one of the people from one of the tribes to arise and deliver Israel from her enemies.
.
Here's a list of judges and from what tribe each came from are as follows:
.
1. Othniel - Yudah
2. Ehud - BenYamin
3. Shamgar - unknown
4. Deborah - unknown
5. Gideon - Manasseh
6. Abimelech - son of Gideon, Manasseh
7. Tola - Issachar
8. Jair - Manasseh
9. Jephthah - from Gilead, son of a prostitute
10. Ibzan - Zebulon
11. Elon - Zebulon
12. Abdon - Ephraim
13. Samson - Dan
14. Eli - Levi
15. Samuel - father Elkanah is a Levite
.
We notice, not one tribe was able to maintain the "inheritance" of being a judge. The LORD called them individually to deliver Israel.
.
Even Samuel's sons were not worthy to succeed him, just like Eli's sons weren't.
.
Abimeleh, son of Gideon wanted to be judge over all the sons of Gideon. But the LORD did not call him.
.
We also notice that Israel wanted the judges to assign their sons to rule over them. We see this pattern over and over. Like, "the responsibility" to "get rid" of Israel's enemies should always fall on them and their family line.
.
Like a modern IDF, with a tribal head. A military leader who can be assigned to take care of the protection of all the tribes, when the responsibility of cleaning out the giants were given to all who came out of Egypt.
.
Judges 8:22-23
22 Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you, your son, and your son’s son also; for you have saved us out of the hand of Midian.”
23 Gideon said to them, “I will not rule over you, neither shall my son rule over you. The LORD shall rule over you.”
.
We see here early on, that the nation of Israel already clamoured for a "king" to rule over them. The LORD saw this.
.
That is why the true Line of Judges, HIS Chosen Ones in these days have only One King. And do not seek another to rule over them, or anyone else.
.
They don't want glory for man, or themselves or their family line, but only to fulfill their calling to free the nation from their oppressors and to install GOD as Rightful King over the land.
.
“The LORD shall rule over you.”
.
This is the closest example to the form of Government the LORD will have in the coming days.
.
His ppl will be called, one by one, or a group to deliver a person, an area, a region for His glory.
.
And then posses and occupy it for the LORD, until the whole earth is saturated with His Glory, until He comes back.
.
▪ The Kingdom
Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45
34 You saw until a stone was cut out without hands, which struck the image on its feet that were of iron and clay, and broke them in pieces.
35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
.
44 “In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which will never be destroyed, nor will its sovereignty be left to another people; but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it will stand forever. 45 Because you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold; ...”
.
▪ The City
Heb 11:10
For (Abraham) LOOKED FOR the city which has the foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
.
▪ The House
1 Peter 2:5
You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Yeshua the Messiah.
.
▪ The New Heavens and the New Earth
2 Peter 3:12-13
12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
13 But, according to his promise, we LOOK FOR NEW HEAVENS and a NEW EARTH, in which righteousness dwells.
.
▪ The Kosmos
1 John 4:17
In this love has been made perfect among us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment, because as he is, even so we are in this world (G2889 - gr. kosmos).

Shalom all!
