SPIRITUAL SEASONS Part 3: Names Are Important

NAMES WERE RELEVANT
As we can see, if we read about the sons of these two women they named their children after their circumstances or a particular situation. An example is Rachel's 2nd son; she named him Ben-Oni, which means "son of my suffering". The reason was is that she was dying in childbirth and was suffering greatly. Jacob later renamed him Benjamin, which means "son of my right hand". So we can see that naming children had various reasons, some were because of circumstances and others were named for their destiny. As in the case of THE SONS OF Issachar which had destiny in their names.

GENEOLOGY: I Chronicles 7:1-5
7:1 Now the sons of Issachar were, Tola, and Puah, Jashub, and Shimron, four. 2 And the sons of Tola; Uzzi, and Rephaiah, and Jeriel, and Jahmai, and Jibsam, and Shemuel, heads of their father's house, to wit, of Tola: they were valiant men of might in their generations; whose number was in the days of David two and twenty thousand and six hundred. 3 And the sons of Uzzi; Izrahiah: and the sons of Izrahiah; Michael, and Obadiah, and Joel, Ishiah, five: all of them chief men. 4 And with them, by their generations, after the house of their fathers, were bands of soldiers for war, six and thirty thousand men: for they had many wives and sons. 5 And their brethren among all the families of Issachar were valiant men of might, reckoned in all by their genealogies fourscore and seven thousand. 1 Chronicles 7:1-5 KJV

SONS OF Issachar:
There were four sons of Issachar:

• Tola = clothed in scarlet. (red being the color of salvation)
• Puvah = mouth, utterance. (a prophetic voice)
• Job = the persecuted, cry of woe (entire book devoted to Job's life)
• Shimron = watchman

The Issachar anointing flows in the birth of these ministries in the body of Christ.
