I could not seem to get away from the WOLF of the Super Blood Wolf Moon tonight and the significance of Two Super Wolf Moons in a row. Genesis 41:32, “And for that the dream was doubled unto Pharaoh twice; it is because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.”
As I have recorded before, New Year’s Day 2018 was a SUPER WOLF MOON, the 2nd Super moon in a series of 3 in 60 days (extremely unusual). This year January 20 is a SUPER BLOOD WOLF MOON, the first in a series of 3 Super moons in 2019. (2nd Feb 19, 3rd March 21, which is the Festival of Purim).
Last year on January 1st the Wolf stood out because Michael Wolff was releasing a book called Fire and Fury which was released January 5, 2018, (Coincidence?) Every news source was some how talking about this book during the Super Wolf Moon. I studied the Wolf a little during that Super Moon, but now on the 2nd Super Moon I have dug deeper.
This quote is from Wikipedia: Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House is a 2018 book by Michael Wolff and which according to Wolff, details the behavior of U.S. President Donald Trump and the staff of his 2016 presidential campaign and White House. The title refers to a quote by Trump about the conflict with North Korea.
There was no way this book was intended as a compliment to our President. This was used by many to tear down his presidency, his staff, and his character. Last year’s midterm election was one of the wildest in history and by many it was a vote against President Trump.
So, on this 2nd Super Wolf Moon in a row, and it being a Blood Moon, a ‘giant stop light’ warning in the sky, does the understanding of a “wolf” become prophetic? (FYI- Wolf moons only occur in January)
Since I am a Bible Teacher, I first look to the Word of God. Of the Tribes of Jacob (Tribes of Israel) Benjamin, being the 12th son, had the symbol of a Wolf. This comes from Jacob’s prophetic blessing on Benjamin before he died.
Genesis 49:27, “Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall divide the spoil.”
- Two Stages – morning (Saul) and night (Saul became Apostle Paul, both from the lineage of Benjamin)
- Early stages of his life, he shall devour his prey, savagely and not share- he will turn on you if you try to take his prey- spirit of wanting for himself at all costs
- Older, more mature wolf will be willing to make sacrifices and give out good things which God has given him; whole nature has changed
The Tribe of Benjamin’s defeat was at their own making, the tribe turned to homosexuality (Judges 19:22). Perverted men means “sons of Belial”, worthless, good for nothing. Basically morally corrupt men who did not conform to either human or divine laws. Read Judges 19-21, with special emphasis of 19:22-29, which I consider the saddest story in the whole Bible. After that horrible gang rape, all the other 11 Tribes went to war against the Tribe of Benjamin, only 600 of the 21,100 Benjamites who carried swords survived. The Tribe was almost wiped out.
Benjamin’s weaknesses were spoiled by everyone, lazy, never had to work, would not defend himself or property. They did not drive out the Jebusites so they took on their way of life, which was morally corrupt and void of following God’s laws.
His strengths were he was loved his Father Jacob, protected by all family members, abundant grace, ending with legacies of a mighty warrior (King Saul, Esther, Apostle Paul). When in the older mature stage, they were excellent swordsmen and would fight to victory. The changed nature of the Benjamites were known for their ‘left hand’ tactics in battle.
Facts about Northern Wolves who would howl at the first full moon of the year – Timber Wolf or Grey Wolf.
- Can be up to 7 feet long, from nose to end of tail (tail is normally 13-20 inches)
- Grey wolf is a powerful animal.
- It is savage and fearless, quite capable of bringing down an elk, or deer, caribou and moose by a chase during which they display speed and endurance.
- Their diet consists of flesh! Wolves are prodigious eaters and when ample food is available, will gorge themselves. Able to eat 20 pound of flesh each at one sitting. They will return to an old kill to eat even after it has become putrid, although fresh meat is preferred.
- They travel in packs of 6, all after the kill.
- The wolf tears and rends its victim without mercy.
Now, does that sound like the ‘never Trumpers”? And the current 6-pack has intensified after the last election and added several to the 6-pack that are also Anti-Semites – hateful to the Jews and Israel.
But after meditating on Benjamin and his symbol, I am encouraged. Why? Because the prophets are speaking out the Promise of our Father! Joel 2:28, And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see vision. (29) And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.”
I’m excited now! Get ready for the promised Outpouring of Holy Spirit on all those who are rioting in the streets and ranting in the government system! God’s perfect will for us to pray is FIRST of all, pray for those in authority, for it is God’s will for all of them to be saved. (I Timothy 2)
