The Mysterious “Breach”
WHERE
did Jeremiah go, with Baruch his secretary and one of more of the royal
daughters of History stops short at this point. Enlightened students of
Bible history have Jong known that the Ten Tribes—called by the name
“House of ISRAEL”—have been lost, and exist today among the Gentile
nations, unrecognized.
Their identity, and location, is one of
the things God has hidden from the world. Yet, in this end-time, when
knowledge is to increase, when the “wise” are to UNDERSTAND (Dan.
12:4,10), we shall find the secret revealed thru PROPHECY which could
not be understood until now.
But first, we must now consider a mysterious “breach” that occurred in the days of Judah, son of Jacob.
Judah
was the father of twin sons. The first born was royal seed, for thru
him the SCEPTRE promise was to be carried down. It seems the midwife
knew twins were about to be born. It is recorded that just before birth
one of the twins “put out his his hand: and the midwife took and bound
upon his hand a scarlet thread, saying, ‘This came out first.’ ” But
the child drew back his hand, and the other was actually born first.
The midwife exclaimed, “How hast thou broken forth? this breach be upon
thee: (margin, wherefore hast thou made this breach against thee?),
therefore his name was called Pharez,” meaning “Breach.” (Gen.
38:27-30).
WHY should this strange occurance be recorded in
Bible history, unless this breach was to be HEALED between the sons or
their descendants at some future time? Yet it never occurred in their
life-time.
