The Blessings of the Lost Ten Tribes in Exile
Agriculture Plenty
Jacob was promised a healthy climate, agricultural plenty and mineral riches (Genesis 27:28). These blessing were repeated in the blessing to Joseph (Genesis 49:25).
[Genesis 27:28]
"THEREFORE GOD GIVE THEE OF THE DEW OF HEAVEN, AND THE FATNESS OF THE EARTH, AND PLENTY OF CORN AND WINE:"
"THEREFORE GOD GIVE THEE OF THE DEW OF HEAVEN, AND THE FATNESS OF THE EARTH, AND PLENTY OF CORN AND WINE:"
Agricultural plenty and great blessings.
[Genesis 49:25]
"EVEN BY THE GOD OF THY FATHER, WHO SHALL HELP THEE; AND BY THE ALMIGHTY, WHO SHALL BLESS THEE WITH BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN ABOVE, BLESSINGS OF THE DEEP THAT LIETH UNDER, BLESSINGS OF THE BREASTS, AND OF THE WOMB:"
"EVEN BY THE GOD OF THY FATHER, WHO SHALL HELP THEE; AND BY THE ALMIGHTY, WHO SHALL BLESS THEE WITH BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN ABOVE, BLESSINGS OF THE DEEP THAT LIETH UNDER, BLESSINGS OF THE BREASTS, AND OF THE WOMB:"
BLESSINGS OF HEAVEN ABOVE: climate and agriculture. BLESSINGS OF THE DEEP: Water and mineral resources.
THE BREASTS, AND OF THE WOMB: Health and fertility and bounty from the Almighty.
In the Blessing of Moses (Deuteronomy chapter 33) tells us that Joseph will be blessed with agricultural plenty and mineral resources (33:15-16):
[Deuteronomy 33:13]
"AND OF JOSEPH HE SAID, BLESSED OF THE LORD BE HIS LAND, FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF HEAVEN, FOR THE DEW, AND FOR THE DEEP THAT COUCHETH BENEATH,"
"AND OF JOSEPH HE SAID, BLESSED OF THE LORD BE HIS LAND, FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF HEAVEN, FOR THE DEW, AND FOR THE DEEP THAT COUCHETH BENEATH,"
This says that Joseph was blessed with agricultural prosperity, healthy lands, and mineral resources in plenty.
[Deuteronomy 33:14]
"AND FOR THE PRECIOUS FRUITS BROUGHT FORTH BY THE SUN, AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS PUT FORTH BY THE MOON,"
"AND FOR THE PRECIOUS FRUITS BROUGHT FORTH BY THE SUN, AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS PUT FORTH BY THE MOON,"
Some plants need a set number of hours of both daylight and darkness. Certain plants require moonlight.
[Deuteronomy 33:15]
"AND FOR THE CHIEF THINGS OF THE ANCIENT MOUNTAINS, AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE LASTING HILLS,"
"AND FOR THE CHIEF THINGS OF THE ANCIENT MOUNTAINS, AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE LASTING HILLS,"
Food products and Mineral resources.
[Deuteronomy 33:16]
"AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE EARTH AND FULNESS THEREOF, AND FOR THE GOOD WILL OF HIM THAT DWELT IN THE BUSH: LET THE BLESSING COME UPON THE HEAD OF JOSEPH, AND UPON THE TOP OF THE HEAD OF HIM THAT WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS BRETHREN."
"AND FOR THE PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE EARTH AND FULNESS THEREOF, AND FOR THE GOOD WILL OF HIM THAT DWELT IN THE BUSH: LET THE BLESSING COME UPON THE HEAD OF JOSEPH, AND UPON THE TOP OF THE HEAD OF HIM THAT WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS BRETHREN."
PRECIOUS THINGS OF THE EARTH: agricultural plenty. THAT WAS SEPARATED FROM HIS BRETHREN: Joseph was apart from his brothers and still dwells apart from them in physically separated areas.
The Prophet Hosea also says that the Lost Ten Tribes un their place of exile, as well as being extremely numerous shall enjoy great agricultural bounty and other material blessings:
(Hoshea 2:8)
"CORN, AND WINE, AND OIL, AND MULTIPLIED HER SILVER AND GOLD."
"CORN, AND WINE, AND OIL, AND MULTIPLIED HER SILVER AND GOLD."
Nations we identify as having the Lost Tribes amongst them produce nearly all of the worlds agricultural surpluses: Beef, sheep (mutton and wool), wheat, maize, cotton, sugar, wine (France, USA, Australia, South Africa, Israel), fruits, vegetables, etc. Lands of Joseph are especially prominent in this regard and Joseph had been bequeathed a double portion.
