Kislev 5785 - Benjamin the Wolf
Kislev in 2024 starts with the New Moon on December 2 and goes until December 30. So we will start the New Year of 2025 in alignment with the Lunar Calendar.
As always here are some snippets from my old articles:
As I stated last month we are on a three-month journey into exploring the tribes that have come from the matriarch Rachel. We have already looked at Joseph, Ephraim, and Manasseh, this month, the month of Kislev, we will look at Benjamin.
In the last 3 months starting with the tribe of Gad back in Elul, we have been learning much about how to prepare for battle, be valiant warriors, and finish well. Just like the tribes of Gad, Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, Benjamin was also known for his skill in battle. In fact, the Benjamites were trained to fight with their left hands so that they could catch the enemy by surprise (Judges 20:16). They are also referred to as brave warriors who carried shields and were skilled with the bow ( 1 Chron. 8:40; 2 Chron. 14:8). Genesis 49:27 is where Jacobs blessing over the tribe says Benjamin shall be like a ravenous wolf and devour his prey.
As with the valiant men who came from the tribes of Joseph, the first King Saul, Ehud, Mordecai and even Apostle Paul all come from the tribe of Benjamin. As Source is calling forth His army at this time He is also calling forth His Captains to step up and take their place. All these men who come from these tribes, Joshua, Gideon, King Saul, Ehud, Mordecai and even Paul are all Captains in God’s army. Some fought literal battles others fought the spiritual ones.
Benjamin, the tribe of this month, is the only full brother of Joseph and was not involved when the other brothers sold him into slavery. Benjamin loved his brother Joseph so much that he named each of his 10 children in such a way that referred to the memory of his brother. The Love and faithfulness exhibited by the tribe of Benjamin is something we can all learn from and use today. Benjamin is the only tribe/ son to have been born in present-day Israel. Benjamin is also known as one of the most faithful and loyal tribes.
In Kislev, we enter into the winter season, which is one of the darkest times of the year. But like Joseph and Benjamin we must trust and hope and have faith in the one who has given us the dreams and promises.
In this month of promises and dreams allow Source to minister to those places in your heart to pour out His love and breathe life into them once again as we enter into a time of fruition and of supernatural provision. In this holiday season, let us abide in the Shekinah presence of the Divine as He gives us safety and favor.
Benjamin was a small tribe and given a small allotment of land, but the land that they inherited (Jos 18:11-28) includes Jerusalem and Mt. Moriah. That’s why in Deu. 33:12 Moses blesses them as such, “And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders.” The piece of land allotted to Benjamin is between the two leading tribes Ephraim and Judah and it is said that the head – the Shekinah – resides between the two shoulders, with Benjamin. Rachel is known to have died while giving birth to Benjamin and named him after her sorrow but Jacob changed his name to Benjamin, which means son of my right hand or side, signifying strength and virtue. The safety and favor come from residing in the supernatural glory of God.
As we learned last month from Manasseh, Source has placed us in a strategic position in this moment of time to secure our inheritance by not allowing the enemy to take territory but to be prepared for the battle and follow through to the end. I feel as if the Divine is calling us higher in our spiritual battles wanting to give us strategies so that not only are we building a wall (holding fast to our boundaries) to be a shield from the attacks of the enemy but to place us in a position in which we understand the enemies schemes so much so that we can come up behind him to disable him from attacking at all. Let us be valiant men and women who bear a shield of faith that nothing can penetrate, but also be skillful in battle with a sword and with a strategy.
The term enemy can be seen as the familiar patterns and programming in our lives, as well as, any entity that might be throwing shade your way this season. The battles we face may not be physical but they are ones fought within as well as without. As above so below.
Oddly enough today as I was doing the 21-Day Confidence Love Challenge I did this meditation from Aaron which started off with the WOLF https://vimeo.com/830373382/f305b5c545?share=copy
