Background – Benjamin

(Adam Rutherford)

     1. The Tribe of Benjamin was by far the smallest of all the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

2. Benjamin, the ancestor and federal head of the Benjamites, was the youngest of all Jacob’s twelve sons, from whom the respective tribes of Israel originated.
3. At one time Benjamin “ ravined as a wolf „, but in the end, proved to be the tribe truest to the Faith, and all Twelve Apostles of Christ were ultimately chosen from that one Tribe.2TheBenjamites (or Galilaeans, as they were later called) followed the Saviour by the thousand. (It was the Jews of Judaea who rejected Him and had Him crucified.)
4. The Benjamites were liberty- loving and tolerant in religion. It was the most famous Benjamite of all, the great Apostle Paul, who said: „Where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free.“ (2 Cor. 3,17, Gal. 5,1.)
5. The Benjamites (Galilaeans) were the first to translate and preach the Scriptures in other languages (Acts 2, 8-11).
6. Benjamin was the light-bearer of eke tribes of Israel.

From the foregoing it will be seen that we could appro­priately speak of Iceland as the Benjamin of Christendom. As little Benjamin ultimately became the great light-bearer, can it be that little Iceland is destined to become a great light to the nations. The Biblical prophecies indicate that it will be so.

Both Christ and Daniel inform us that the present age is to culminate in a climax of unprecedented trouble upon the nations (Matt. 24, 21, Daniel 12,1). That terrible trouble which will smash to pieces all tyrannical and unjust institutions that oppress humanity (Zephaniah 3,8, James 5,1-4), is to be but the painful transition which will usher in a new and better age, the Golden Age of prophecy. This is repeatedly declared in the Bible. For example, that world-wide trouble and what follows is described in Zephaniah’s prophecy just referred to: verse 8 depicts the trouble, but verse 9 following declares, “ For then (after the trouble) will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one consent.“ Again, Isaiah, chapter 34, gives a vivid picture of the world tribulation, whilst the whole of the next chapter, 35, tells of the glorious time to follow, and is one of the loveliest chapters in the whole Bible.

Isaiah, chapter 24, also portrays the great final cataclysm upon the nations, but shows that there will be one place that will shine forth as a beacon light in that dark night of world­wide trouble, and that the people there will be found worshipping and singing songs of praise to God, for in the middle of that chapter of woe there is interjected these words: „They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the Lord, they shall cry aloud from the sea. Wherefore glorify ye the Lord in the fires, even the name of the Lord God of Israel in the isles of the sea. From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous.“ (Isaiah, 24,14-16. English Bible.)
