The Blessings Of Benjamin

“The Blessings of Benjamin” explores the dual nature of the Tribe of Benjamin as depicted in biblical blessings from Jacob and Moses. Jacob describes Benjamin as a “ravenous wolf,” symbolizing strength, boldness, and strategic prowess, as seen in the tribe’s fierce warriors, King Saul, Mordecai, and the Apostle Paul, who faced challenges head-on. In contrast, Moses portrays Benjamin as “the beloved of the Lord,” protected and cherished, with Jerusalem, God’s holy city, situated in their land, symbolizing divine closeness. The text reconciles these traits, presenting Benjamin’s legacy as both warrior-like boldness and heartfelt worship, urging believers to embody this balance—fearless in faith yet secure in God’s love, with their hearts as God’s temple, as inspired by 1 Corinthians 3:16.
