Tribes of Israel #4 - THE SPLIT BLESSING

SundayTribes4

Tribes of Israel #4 - The Split Blessing

It really is ridiculous that I have to start every post in this series with a disclaimer.  We are simply studying God's Word (the Bible) and learning about the Tribes of Israel but because the topic is "Israel", I automatically get comments calling me "anti-Semitic".  I am simply stating facts from the Bible - if you can't deal with Biblical facts then you'll have to take up your issues with God and not with me.  Here is the disclaimer:

I have not, am not and will never condone, encourage or participate in any kind of hate or violence towards any person or group of people.

Today we are going to focus on "the split blessing" from Joseph's line.


We will be going into more detail about each tribe but I'll give a quick summary of what happened to Joseph.  Joseph was his father's favorite son and all 11 of his brothers were jealous.  The brothers basically sold Joseph and then lied to their father about what actually happened to Joseph.  The brothers took Joseph's robe, soiled it with some animal's blood and told their father that a wild animal had attacked and killed Joseph.  To make a long story short, Joseph was successful in Egypt and eventually was able to help his brothers (even though they didn't deserve anything)
(read Genesis chapter 37 through Genesis chapter 48).

That brings us to Joseph's two sons: Manasseh & Ephraim (see verse below):

SundayTribes4b

Jacob's sons (Manasseh & Ephraim) were adopted by his father because of the atrocious treatment that Joseph had received from his brothers (read passage below):

SundayTribes4a

After this "adoption" of Manasseh & Ephraim, the total tribes were now 13 (Joseph is no longer included in this list because his blessing goes to his sons).  However, we know that there were only 12 tribes - so what happened?
Here is the list of tribes after taking Joseph off of the list:
- Reuben
- Simeon
- Levi
- Judah 
- Dan
- Naphtali
- Gad
- Asher
- Issachar
- Zebulun
- Benjamin
- Manasseh
- Ephraim

The tribe of Levi was given a special responsibility (see Scripture below): 

SundayTribes4c

Now the total amount of tribes is back down to twelve (Once Levi is removed from that list of tribes). 


Old Testament study can be difficult but it's necessary to understand what actually happened and what God said because the truth is NOT what we're being told from mainstream media.
As usual, I ask that you pray for guidance and discernment and our Heavenly Father will show you the truth.

Oblatten - Chocolate Wafer Cookie / Treat

unnamed (13)

Oblatten - Chocolate Wafer Cookie/Treat

This is a simple and delicious chocolate treat and it is a recipe from my mom's side of the family.  I'm not sure if this recipe is originally German, Hungarian or maybe even Yugoslavian - anyway it's yummy!

We call this a cookie but it is not crispy like the store-bought wafer cookies available - this is more like a chocolate ganache filled treat (not a frosting filled treat).




Ingredients:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup heavy cream (heavy whipping cream)
1/4 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
1 package of "Tort Wafers"

In a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips and the cream together (gently stirring all the time),  Continue cooking and stirring until the chunks have completely melted (see progression in the pictures below).

Once the chocolate is melted, turn off the heat and stir in the butter until it is completely melted and combined into the chocolate.

unnamed (32) unnamed (33)

Take the top pot off the hot water to cool to warm (The chocolate MUST still be spreadable so make sure NOT to cool it too much).  If you want to hurry the cooling process you may place the top pan in a shallow amount of cold/ice water (see picture below but make sure that NO WATER gets into the chocolate) 

unnamed (18)

Remove the wafers from the package.  You will only be using half the package.  Cut them in half so that they will fit into a Pyrex dish.

unnamed (29)'

I used a pizza cutter to cut them in half (see pictures below). 

unnamed (26)  unnamed (19)


Assembly

Line your Pyrex dish with parchment paper and gently place the first cut wafer piece in the dish (see picture below):


unnamed (20)

Spread some of the cooled melted chocolate evenly on top of that first wafer (see picture below):

unnamed (22)

Place the next wafer on top of the chocolate layer and lightly press down on top wafer just to make sure the chocolate gets into the groves.

unnamed (23)

Keep repeating (spreading chocolate and adding next wafer) until all wafer layers have been used up (remember - you are only using half of the wafer package).  Save enough ganache (melted chocolate mixture) to spread on the final top layer (see picture below):

unnamed (24)

Place dish in fridge and allow the chocolate to soak into the wafer layers for about an hour.  Then place in freezer overnight.

unnamed (10)

Remove from the freezer and allow to warm for about 10 minutes.  Then begin slicing into rectangular shapes (I used a pizza cutter to draw the lines and start the slice but finished slicing all the layers with a large knife (see picture above).

unnamed (11)

Continue slicing, serve...... 

unnamed (16)

and ENJOY!

Freeze any remaining pieces in an airtight container or a zip-lock bag.
