The Testament of the 12 Patriarchs; a collection of the final words from the sons of Jacob, exhorting their sons to walk in truth and in righteousness. Each patriarch has a unique message and perspective to share with the audience, containing unmistakable messianic prophecies and visions of end times revelation and impending judgement. The Testaments reflect some of the highest and noblest ethical teaching available, and truly foreshadow many of our Messiah’s own precepts.
The collection was preserved in Greek, Slavonic, Georgian, Serbian, Armenian, Venetian and Latin. They were included in some canons, such as the Armenian Orthodox, and were quoted by and alluded to through prominent early assembly writers such as Origen and Jerome. Nevertheless, they are speculated by ‘scholars’ to be pseudepigraphal and perhaps even Christian works. However, the avid researcher may be excited to know that the Dead Sea Scrolls findings included parts Levi and Naphtali; dating to a minimum of 100-200 BC; thus lending credibility to the entire work. While we believe the Testaments to be inspired, and profitable for doctrine, reproof, for correction and instruction in righteousness, it is up to you to test them and decide. With that being said, let’s study together to show ourselves approved.
We are told not to lust, fornicate, envy, be drunken, angry, have hatred and many other ways of wicked. But ‘how’ do we flee from these behaviors? If you’re looking for help, or are curious to the answer to these, and many more issues, this series is for you.

Really struggled with being quick to anger and then sad with communications with daughter. Really hard ,very hurtful. I know those are not her words. Very hard. Also know Satan is behind it all.
Hey man, this is good stuff, but this book was written by someone in the 2nd century BC. It could be possible that Dan helped write it from the spiritual realms, but you must also accept the possibility that Dan did not attain salvation, especially because he wasn’t one of the 12 Tribes of Israel who have 12,000 metaphorical sealed members of God’s new and everlasting covenant as depicted in the Book of Revelation. His tribe seat was likely replaced by Joseph’s other son, Manasseh, who was prophesied by Jacob to outdo his older brother. But this also could mean he was saved but his descendants, who are known to have been worshipping idols, are not. But this is not likely because God wills all men to be saved, even the remnant of Dan’s descendants. Although there is a general agreement among scholars, it seems, that the Antichrist will be a descendant of this tribe. From my spiritual and mystical experiences, I have learned that Dan is very likely an evil being, and son of Satan. It’s ironic because when God created the angels, Lucifer was the highest and thus the likely the goodest of all the angels, until he got jealous and envied of God’s plan for His son to become man, and a child of Mariam. The irony lies in the fact that Dan was evil, but whoever wrote this book could have been someone who wrote what Dan could have said and how he could have been a good father like person to the faithful. Also, Nebuchadnezzar is often times discussed as God’s servant in the Bible who brings God’s wrath upon the destruction of Jerusalem, and he even has a conversion through the prophet Daniel, and went on to live like a beast for 10 years unto salvation, then restored by God after he had been renewed. God bless!
Sirach 4:17-19 calls the Holy Spirit "she"
Sirach 4:17-19 calls the Holy Spirit "she"
I have a question I've been wanting to ask you for a while Adam….. it says in the Bible, call no man your Father except your Father in heaven….. but then there is a commandment to Honor your Father and Mother? ……. Is that referring to The Father in Heaven and the Holy Spirit "Mother" …. because I've heard some people say that the Holy spirit is the Feminine aspect …. or else, how could Women have been made in the image of YHWH unless there was both a male and feminine aspect? Just curious….
