Genesis 49 is the first place in the bible the blessing of Joseph is mentioned. Hundreds of years later, Moses added to what Jacob started. The fact Moses added to the blessing of Joseph well after Joseph had died shows the blessing of Joseph is a work in progress. The fact Moses is still adding on proves the blessing will be given to a future biblical figure who is yet to be born.

In Genesis 49, gave out blessings to his 12 sons. Just before he breathed his last, he asked to be buried in present day Samaria. The blessing he gave to his son Joseph is of particular interest. Genesis 49: 22-26 states, 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well whose branches run over the wall. 23 Skilled archers have bitterly attacked and sorely worried him; they have shot at him and persecuted him. 24 But his bow remained strong and steady and rested in the Strength that does not fail him, for the arms of his hands were made strong and active by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. 25 By the God of you father, Who will help you, and by the Almighty, Who will bless you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings lying in the deep beneath, blessings of the breasts and of he womb. 26 The blessings of your father on you are greater tan the blessings of my forefathers on me, and are as lasting as the bounties of the eternal hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was the consecrated one and the one separated from his brethren and the one who is prince among them.

Jacob is trying to create a dominant future leader who comes from both himself and his son Joseph. This future leader would get his authority from both God and biblical scripture.

This strategy which was started by Jacob ensures the bible has been prepared to overthrow those who attack it.

The biblical prophet Isaiah made some interesting and important statements when he was alive. Both John the Baptist and Jesus are recorded as saying they live to fulfill the word of Isaiah. Jesus did it when He stood up in the temple in Nazareth and said He is here to fulfill the first part of Isaiah 61. John the Baptist also said he is the one who fulfills a statement in Isaiah 40. This is important work by these guys. it shows they define reality by the word of Isaiah. In addition, Jacob helped reveal the identity of the messiah in Genesis 49 when he said He washes His clothes in the blood of grapes. The murder of John the Baptist is foretold in psalm 42. This statement by Jacob affiliates the messiah with the murder of a nazarite. It is a good statement by him since it directly leads to Jesus as the messiah. This is true since Jesus has a strong affiliation with John. It also true this statement by Jacob can only be fulfilled by a messiah who has already been here.

Isaiah also gave some statements that our very important for our time. These statements by Isaiah are made for a biblical figure who arrives near the return of Jesus. These words by Isaiah make it impossible for me to coordinate the bible and the qu’ran together and give them both books a role in inducing God to show up and intervene against murder. Why is this important word by Isaiah the right call?

In order to prove Isaiah is right, it is necessary for a person to understand the final outcome of the bible. The bible is not dead. The people in the bible all contributed to produce another biblical figure at the end of the age. This is a perfect strategy on their part because it gives them all a role in overthrowing those who come play on them when they are gone and attack their beliefs.

Psalm 91 is an unfulfilled statement. It is one of the more important chapters in the bible for a reader to understand since it reveals bible strategy in our time. It is necessary for a person to fully understands why God wants a relationship with the biblical figure mentioned in psalm 91 in order to be in touch with reality about what is going on in the bible. It should lead a person to question why God is trying hard to keep this person alive while letting some other good people die.

What did I do with God so I am more qualified than any of you are to be the person written about in this psalm? I remember going up to God in 1996 and saying we should took the most powerful position for ourselves. So I believed God was good and powerful enough to make this happen.

Note the word of Jesus in Matthew 17.11 . He neds a biblical figure to get things restored and ready. God must keep him alive while he is being trained for this important job that God must have done.

Daniel 11 says a man will come and get control over the treasures of Egypt. What are the treasures of Egypt? In the days of Moses, they were killing little ones and disregarding the word of biblical figures. Two things that are still happening all over the world. People are still living in the same relationship with God and they were when Moses was in Egypt. So they are dying due to a lack of support from God because they are attacking God. Daniel 7 shows God wants a relationship with someone who tries to change the set times and laws.

So the point of God keeping this person alive is so he can be used by God to have a confrontation with people over their conduct.

1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely and in Him I confidently trust!

3 For then H will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from th deadly pestilence.

4 Then He will cover with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler.

5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow, the vil plots and slanders of the wicked that flies by day,

6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you.

8 Only a spectator shall you be as you witness the reward of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High yor dwelling place,

10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent.

11 For He will give His angels special charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service.

12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot.

14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name.

15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation.

There are numerous important points for a bible reader to understand in order to comprehend the current relationship between God and man.

One is God is using a biblical figure to help change the current relationship between God and man.

The person mentioned in this chapter is the same guy Jesus says will come and get things restored and ready so he is helping to fulfill the word of Jesus.

This chapter says the biblical figure is protected by God while everybody else is vulnerable. This is necessary so God can train somebody to fulfill scripture just before the return of Jesus.

What does the average person do so they do not deserve guaranteed support from God? They walk on by when little ones are killed along side the road. Their behavior is one in the same as the Egyptians in the days of Moses. So they can die at any time as God is refusing to guarantee any of them a long life. These are the set times and laws. God wants to change the current set times and laws and this is why the biblical figure in psalm 91 exists.

The biblical figure referred to in psalm 91 is the same peron mentioned in Daniel 7 who appears in front of God and wants to change the current times and laws. Daniel says he is able to do so but it causes God to judge each person here and decide whether they a qualified to see Jesus and others who have been raised from the dead.

This chapter reveals God’s position to the killing of little ones. It says God will not try as hard as He can to support human life as long as people are walking on by as the are being killed. The bible also says Jesus will be in charge in the future. When He is in charge it says people will live longer. They will live longer because no one will be walking on by as little ones are killed because that way of life has been eradicated altogether.

It is necessary for a person to blame the limited effort by God on the terrible behavior by man. It is not a good idea to blame God. God should not be expected to provide the greatest level of support until Jesus is in charge.

This chapter is telling at what Jesus decided to associate Himself with. He wanted to associate Himself with a position against the killing of little ones. He did this when He linked Himself with the biblical figure in psalm 91. He belongs around this bible activity, not around somebody who glorifies their teaching over His.

When a bible reader sees there is a person who must play the role in psalm 91 they should realize it is not possible to play this role without a lot of help from the other prophets. A person can not just say they are the guy in the psalm 91. They have to prove it. There is only one way to prove it. When somebody is able to simultaneously fulfill numerous statements in the bible than it is possible for a reader to know when this biblical figure is in the world.

This is a terrible passage for those who want to kill little ones. It means there is an active judgment by God against them. It means the people who were wanted do not have any guarantee of long life from God.

The other prophets help reveal when the person in psalm 91 is in the world and this biblical confrontation is taking place. The fact that only the bible can create this confrontation shows it is the preeminent book in the world of religion.

Psalm 91 shows God is determined to build a confrontation with human beings over their murderous behavior.

Here is the full statement in psalm 91, verses 1 to 16. 1 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty, Whose power no foe can withstand 2 I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely, and in Him I confidently trust! 3 For then He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. 4 Then He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings shall you trust and find refuge; His truth and His faithfulness are a shield and a buckler. 5 You shall not be afraid of the terror of the night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, 6 Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor of the destruction and sudden death that surprise and lay waste at noonday. 7 A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 Only a spectator shall you be as you witness the reward of the wicked. 9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place. 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels charge over you to accomplish and defend and preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service. 12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent shall you trample underfoot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he knows and understands My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, and I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation.

This is an interesting psalm that has several important aspects for a bible reader to comprehend. One of which is that the writer of this psalm is not referring to Jesus. If he was, he would capitalize a reference to him in his words.

Another important thing for a bile reader to realize is that the bible needs somebody to show up and definitively play this role. In order to do that, the bible needs a lot of other unfulfilled statements which only the person in psalm 91 can complete. When this is done, the person in psalm 91 can be identified.

Technology is of critical importance to the fulfillment of the strategy of the bible. This is true for numerous reasons. The lack of technology in the world is the foremost reason a believer can use to defend their belief in a messiah that has not been seen for nearly 2000 years. When Jesus was here, very few people who were around at the time knew of His existence due to the lack of technology at the time. The current situation is much different due to the miraculous forms of communication around today. Now, because of the technology everyone here could here Him speak live from anywhere in the world. There are other reasons besides the lack of technology a believer in Jesus can use to defend their belief in Him despite His absence. For example, people who attend church on a regular basis obviously have a much lower rate of causing problems for the police than those who use mind altering substances. The other day my cousin, who is a Chicago police officer was involved in a wild gunfight. A man was riding his bike near downtown and he decided to randomly shoot a woman in the back. The police did a good job of using video to learn where he lived and showed up at his door a few days later. A few moments later, the assailant was laying prone on the ground with his pants pulled down and several new holes in his body. This is much more likely to happen to a guy who is using drugs and has rejected a relationship with God.

The need for a miraculous change in technology is evident in the words of the biblical prophets as well. Isaiah says in chapter 18 woe to the land of whirring wings. In this chapter, Isaiah is looking way into the future of a time where the world is facing an impending judgment from God where many people could suddenly lose their life due to their perverted ways. What does Isaiah mean, by his use of the term whirring wings. There are only two possibilities, since only birds and planes have wings. But birds do not make a loud whirring sound like planes do. Nor is there any reason to associate birds with terrible, woeful events. Thousands of people have died here in disastrous events in the air. There is no other answer than to say Isaiah associates the fulfilment of biblical strategy to a time well past the first coming of Jesus. This puts the fulfillment of biblical strategy well past the primitive days when the qu’ran was written, which took place about 1400 years ago.

The relationship between Jesus and David is of the utmost importance. The trouble of all the killing in the world of religion is directly related to controversy around this relationship. Christians die all the time for believing Jesus has the status of a God. The bible does have some strategy that is made to put an end to this problem and stop the flow of blood. The fact this intervention strategy exists shows God is not going to be absent and look at all the death and mayhem and never do anything about it.

When Jesus was here, He showed He is more honest with David than a lot of other people have chosen to be. One of the most important things David ever wrote is found in Psalm 110. There David wrote, 1 The Lord God says to my Lord the Messiah, Sit at My right hand, until I make Your adversaries Your footstool. 2 The Lord will send forth from Zion the scepter of Your strength; rule then, in the midst of Your foes. 3 Your people will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of holiness and in holy array out of the womb of the morning; to You will spring forth Your young men, who are as the dew. 4 The Lord has sworn and will not revoke or change it; You are a priest forever, after the manner and order of Melchizedek. 5 The Lord at Your right hand will shatter kings in the day of His indignation. 6 He will execute judgment in overwhelming punishment upon the nations; He will fill the valleys with the dead bodies, He will crush the chief heads of lands many and far extended. 7 He will drink of the brook by the way; therefore will He lift up His head triumphantly.

As mentioned before, Jesus shows He takes the word of David more seriously than some people do. Matthew 22: 41-46 proves this point about Jesus. There it says, Now when the Pharisees were still assembled there, Jesus asked them a question. Saying, What do you think of the Christ? Whose Son is He? They said to Him, the Son of David. Jesus said to them, How is is then that David, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, called Him Lord saying, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet? If then David calls Him Lord, how is He his Son? No one was able to answer Him a word.

Later on, the religious authorities in the sanhedrin showed they did not care what David said as much as Jesus does. Matthew 26: 63-66 shows these religious authorities are lying against David. There it says, The high priest said to Him, I call upon you to swear by the living God, and tell us whether You are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him, You have stated the fact. More than that, I tell you. You will in the future see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of the sky. Then the high priests tore his clothes and exclaimed, He has uttered blasphemy! What need have we of future evidence. You have now heard His blasphemy. They then used the words of Jesus to condemn Him to death. Jesus said He is the One who fulfills the word of David and Daniel. He was not allowed to do this without being sentenced to death. Jesus is not the only One being thrown out here. So are David and Daniel. It is important to look at some other words of David and Daniel to see if there is evidence that they were given some other words to overthrow this decision against Jesus, David and Daniel. When it is shown both of them created another biblical figure who comes and leads Jesus back in, then it is certain David and Daniel have the last word against the sanhedrin.

David’s Psalm 110 is one of the most important declarations in the bible. Everybody, whether a believer or an atheist, should know what David says will happen in the near future.When it is shown how perfectly the bible is written to fulfill this word of David, it will make a person feel that Jesus is poised to come out and rule the world and end all the destruction. Each verse of Psalm 110 should be looked at carefully. Jesus said David was under the influence of the Holy Spirit when he called the Messiah by the name Lord and wrote this psalm. The words of other prophets will provide additional evidence that David was under the influence of the Holy Spirit when he wrote Psalm 110.

Verse 1 says Jesus will be in heaven until God defeats the enemies of Jesus. Who are the enemies of Jesus? And how exactly would God crush them?In order to answer these questions somebody must understand the strategy of the biblical prophets very well. Jacob says in Genesis 49:11 that there will be two prophetic vines of words which pertain to the messiah. This comment was made by Jacob in Egypt right before he died. Jacob said this before the bible was written. Then the prophets came and created two separate groups of statements. The first vine of words consisted a lot of information which helps identify who the messiah is when He comes for the first time. The second vine of words that Jacob refers to fulfills the word of David in Psalm 110:1 because it is terrible for the enemies of Jesus. The action in the choice vine is terrible for those who murder Israelis. It contains action against the murder of others as well, including the murder of biblical figures. It is also against those who want people to walk on by as little ones are killed alongside the road. It does break off a relationship with the qu’ran as well. It contains support for the idea that Jesus can indeed be called Lord, and He is more than a servant of allah.

Verses 5 and 6 say God will overthrow those who are in power and install Jesus as the King of the world. Verse 6 says a lot of people will die because they are guilty and are not eligible to see the return of Jesus.

Is there evidence that David can play a role in putting an end to this murderous controversy that he is associated with? Yes, there is. It is found in psalm 20. In this psalm David is speaking about a future biblical whi is yet to be born. There he says, 1 May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble! May the name of the God of Jacob set you up on high and defend you! 2 Send you help from the sanctuary and support, refresh, and strengthen you from Zion; 3 Remember all your offerings and accept your burnt sacrifice. 4 May He grant you according to your heart’s desire and fulfill all your plans. 5 We will shout and triumph at your salvation and victory, and in the name of our God we will set up banners. May the Lord fulfill all your petitions. 6 Now I know that the Lord saves His anointed; He will answer him from His holy heaven with the saving grace of His right hand. 7 Some trust in and boast of chariots and some of horses, but we will trust in and boast of the name of the Lord our God. 8 They are bowed down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright. 9 O Lord, give victory; let the King answer us when we call.

This is a perfect association by David with the future biblical figure in Isaiah 52:7. David shows he knows perfectly well of the job he is going to do. This shows David is knowingly involved with a strategy that is designed to overthrow the current murderous environment in the world of religion.

The bible has a great strategy that ensures a victory for those who still believe almost 2000 years from the departure of Jesus. This is easy to prove when the value of the quotes of Jesus are revealed.

One of the most important quotes given by Jesus is found in Matthew 17:10-13. There it says, The disciples asked Him, Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first? He replied, Elijah does come and will get everything restored and ready. But I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not know and recognize him, but did to him as they liked. So also the Son of Man is going to be treated and suffer at their hands. Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them about John the Baptist.

It is essential for a person to fully understand this comment by Jesus. In verse 11 Jesus used the name Elijah in a future tense. He said this soon after John the Baptist was murdered. Since he used the name of Elijah in a future tense after John was killed, He is talking about somebody else here. It is simple to test this word by Jesus for its accuracy. In order for this role to be played, the bible would have need to have numerous statements that could only be fulfilled by the person Jesus says will come. If those statements are there, the word of Jesus is good. It is also necessary for the words of the prophets which were prepared for this role to be something that would be something Jesus would want to associate with.

This is an important exercise for several reasons. For one, this quote by Jesus reveals what He wished to associate Himself with. It reveals exactly who will show up in the future that Jesus want to associate with. It also shows He has a plan in place for His return. And it can be used against those who eliminate this quote and try to associate Jesus with someone else when He said He wanted to associate with a future nazarite who gets things restored and ready for His second coming.

There are many words in the bible which were created so this quote by Jesus is certain to be fulfilled.

The blessing on Joseph by his father Israel is found in Genesis 49:22-26. Jacob said, 22 Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well, whose branches run over the wall. 23 Skilled archers have bitterly attacked and sorely worried him; they have shot at him and persecuted him. 24 But his bow remained strong and steady and rested in the Strength that does not fail him, for the arms of his hands were made strong and active by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob, by the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel. 25 By the God of your father, Who will help you, and by the Almighty, Who will bless you with the blessings of the heavens above, blessings lying in the deep beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. 26 The blessings of your father on you are greater than the blessings of my forefathers Abraham and Isaac on me, and are as lasting as the bounties of the eternal hills; they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him who was the consecrated one and the one separated from his brethren and the one who is prince among them.

This is an important blessing for those who want the bible to win a war of truth. This blessing was eliminated by the author of the qu’ran. It is obvious Jacob is speaking to somebody else who has not yet been born but who will live a life similar to that of Joseph. Verse 26 shows that somebody else is coming at the end of the age who is like Joseph. This person is the one Jacob is choosing to associate himself with. It is obvious the future person he is associating himself with is not the author of the qu’ran or Mohammed. Jacob refers to him as a person who is consecrated and lives separately from them. These are the characteristics of a nazarite. It is also an accurate description of the biblical figure described in psalm 88. This word of Jacob is the origin of the bible’s strategy to overthrow those who create deception against biblical figures. This deception has led to the deaths of many.

Verses 24 and 25 also show an interesting description of God. These words are very favorable to the idea that there is more than one individual who is referred to as Lord, as David did in psalm 110.

Zephaniah gave some important statements which could play a positive role in helping a person make it to the return of Jesus.

He gave this future for the Jews living in Israel in 3:11-15. In that day you shall not be put to shame for all your deeds for which you have rebelled and transgressed against Me, for then I will take away out of your midst those who exult in your majesty and pride; and you shall no more be haughty because of My holy mountain. For I will leave in the midst of you a people afflicted and poor, and they shall trust, seek refuge, and be confident in the name of the Lord. What is left of Israel shall not do iniquity or speak lies, neither shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth, for they shall feed and lie down and none shall make them afraid. Sing, O Daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel! Rejoice, be in high spirits and glory with all your heart, O Daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away the judgments against you; He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, even the Lord is in the midst of you; you shall not experience or fear evil anymore.

Verse 11 shows a major threat to some of the Jews. He says the haughty ones will not be allowed to participate in the promised deliverance of evil. This is a threat against those among the Jews who act superior and look down on some of the gentiles. If Jews were in touch with reality, they would heed this quote of Zephaniah and make sure this persoanl rejection by God does not happen to them. How does one get to be haughty? What does a person do wrong so they become haughty? What words in the scripture do they throw out? Certainly a person becomes haughty because they became delusional because they threw out some important statements in the bible which if they had heeded would have kept them from being haughty.

Verse 12 shows God places a minority group among the Jews. So if they were not there, both the word of Zephaniah and the bible would be unfulfilled.
