Prophecy fulfilment!

FACT 1: The special nation that was to come out of the descendents of Abraham became known as The House Of Israel.  Abraham obtained a son named Isaac who had a son called Jacob.  The living God confirmed to all three men that through their seed (or family) all the nations of the Earth would be blessed.  With Jacob, God began to develop the nation, first by changing Jacobs name to Israel, and then causing Jacob to have twelve sons.  The descendents of these twelve sons formed tribes and collectively became known as The Twelve Tribes Of Israel and were often referred to as The Children Of Israel.  The names of the twelve sons are Rueben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Isachar, Zebulon, Joseph, Benjamin.

FACT 2: The House of Israel were to suffer many enemies throughout their history, due to the unseen adversary of God stirring up the hearts of men to fight against the people and plans of God.  However, the wisdom of God is always greater than the cunning of the Devil, and Israel was promised that their enemies would never prevail in their efforts to destroy them.  History past and events yet future will see this prophecy completely fulfilled.

FACT 3: Those who choose to befriend the Israelites and assist them in bringing about the purposes of God will receive great blessings.  History past and events yet future will see this prophecy completely fulfilled.

FACT 4: The special work that the House of Israel is to perform for the benefit of all the nations of the world is described in the subsequent pages, although the extent and effect of this work goes beyond the scope of this particular presentation.
