Receiving the 12 Blessings of Israel - by Paul Thangiah (Paperback)

About the Book

We read about God blessing His people in the Bible, yet we fail to realize these blessings are still meant for us today. Connecting biblical texts to modern-day life, this unique, accessible study reveals how God's promises extend beyond Israel to include all who've been grafted in through Christ--and how you can enjoy these blessings today.

Book Synopsis

Unique, Fascinating Look at How God's Promises to Israel Apply to Today

We read throughout the Bible about God blessing his people, but most of us don't realize that these blessings are still meant for today--and for us.

In this accessible study, pastor and international leader Paul Thangiah connects ancient biblical texts to modern-day life. Exploring Jacob's final blessings over his twelve sons in Genesis and Moses' parting blessings to the twelve tribes in Deuteronomy, Thangiah sheds light on the history of those on whom these blessings were bestowed. With keen insight, he examines the background of each of Jacob's sons, the significance of each name and personal situation, and what the Bible says about his descendants. Then, he shows how each of the twelve tribes saw the fulfillment of both Jacob's and Moses' prophetic blessings.

Yet these blessings didn't cease at the end of the Old Testament, says Thangiah, revealing how they were powerfully and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. You will be encouraged and inspired to discover how God's promises to his people extend beyond Israel to include all who've been grafted in through Christ--and how you can still enjoy these prophetic blessings today.

From the Back Cover

You've read about the blessings God gave the Israelites. But did you know these blessings are also meant for you?

In this accessible, practical book, pastor and international leader Paul Thangiah traces the blessings that Jacob gave his twelve sons in Genesis and parallels them with the blessings Moses gave the twelve tribes in Deuteronomy. With keen insight into Jewish history and wonderful stories from today, Thangiah follows this thread through the Old Testament and into the New Testament, where the twelve blessings are fulfilled powerfully in Jesus Christ.

As you discover what it means to be grafted into the people of God through Christ, you'll be encouraged and empowered to live within the blessings that have been passed down through millennia of God's people to you.

Claim your spiritual inheritance--the full riches of God's promises and blessings--and be forever changed.

"It is very difficult to summarize the treasures of this book in a few sentences, as the deep meditation of Pastor Paul Thangiah on these blessings is itself a blessing to readers. This book will enrich your life and help you in your Christian walk."--from the foreword by DR. GEORGE O. WOOD, general superintendent, Assemblies of God U.S.A.; chairman, World Assemblies of God Fellowship
