One night I was trying to decode Jacobs sons names and I could not believe it.
Well, I am not able to decode a few for whatever reason, but I could see what God was telling us through the names of Jacobs sons.
I want to decode them separately from this post because I prefer shorter posts over longer ones. In this post, I will give the real meaning of the names and the love letter. And I don't believe Jacobs sons were born in the sequence written in the bible because that sequence loses the message. The message is truly amazing and it goes like this.
Zebulun, Levi, Judah , Joseph, Simeon, Asher, Reuben, Issachar, Benjamin, Dan, Gad Naphtali
I am sure you would ask how is this a love letter. These names are a love letter to Gods people who are in deep slumber right now, he wrote this message ahead of time through the naming of Jacobs sons.
I found a lot of these names to be in Nguni languages/dialects mainly. I am not sure whether I missed a certain name in another dialect. Let us give these names their possible real meanings.
- Zebulun means firstborn in nguni - Zibulo
- Levi means mine - Lami (possibly the Lemba tribe)
- Judah stands for master - Nduna
- Joseph means gift - Yisipho
- Simeon means listen - Ngizwe
- Asher means call - Bitsa
- Reuben means look at me - Bhekeni
- Issachar - means my dish - Sitsha
- Benjamin means eat with right hand - Dlamini (this was the Swazi/Swati Kingdom)
- Dan means story - Ndaba
- Gad means garden - Mngadi
- Naphtali means you won - Nqobile
Well, I hope you get the message. The names of Jacobs sons were a love letter.
Let me refine the translation though:
My firstborn (Zibulo lami) you are a master (nduna) that is a gift (Yisipho). Listen (Ngizwe) I am calling (Bitsa). Look at (Bhekani) the dish (isitsha) that I use to eat (Dlamini). Due to (Ndaba) the gardener (Mngadi (Jesus)) you have won (nqobile)
I know I may have not gotten the sequence of birth right even after unscrambling, but you get the message right away.
God sees us as His firstborns. He sees us as Masters. He sees us as a gift. He is calling us waiting that we hear and heed his call. Once we respond he will show off what his own dish look like. That will be because we will finally accept his son to overcome the world.
I don't know any beautiful message God could have said to us. He wrote all this through peoples names. He only wants our attention and response to start showing off.
This message has been there throughout the life of our forefathers. It has not yet manifested its beautiful meaning.
I hope you heart feels the warm love from God by reading this post.
