\nGenesis 49:1\u00a0 <\/span>Then Jacob called his sons and said, \u201cGather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in days to come. \u201cAssemble and listen, O sons of Jacob, listen to Israel your father.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Jacob summoned his sons together, that he might inform them of what should befall them in the latter days.\u201d We cannot tell our children what shall befall them or their families in this world; but we can tell them, from the word of God, what shall befall them in the last day of all, according as they conduct themselves in this world. (Benson)<\/p>\n
We are not to consider this address as the expression of private feelings of affection, resentment, or partiality; but as the language of the Holy Ghost, declaring the purpose of God respecting the character, circumstances, and situation of the tribes which descended from the sons of Jacob, and which may be traced in their histories. (Henry)<\/p>\n
Jacob called his sons together for them together to receive their individual blessings and to hear the blessings of their brothers. Jacob, filled with the hope and promises of God to Abraham and Isaac,\u00a0 <\/span>then to himself, and filled with the Holy Spirit, blessed each son and prophesied their legacy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
We leave Trusts and Wills for our children when we die, but wouldn\u2019t it be Holy and awesome if we were filled with the Spirit of God all the days of our lives and we poured out the Word of God into their lives as an eternal lasting blessing for them rather than give much thought about our worldly possessions and the division of these assets upon our death.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
