‏ Genesis 49:27

Benjamin

Benjamin (meaning ‘son of the right hand’) is a picture of Christ Who returns and destroys all His enemies when He appears in glory. Joseph and Benjamin belong together. We have seen this in the previous chapters. Joseph is a picture of Christ in His humiliation and His exaltation as the Bearer of all the favor of God; Benjamin is a picture of Christ coming back in power and majesty and reigning on earth. We also see a double picture like this in David and Salomon. “The morning” and “the evening” cover the whole day or the whole period of the realm of peace.
