Fathers: The Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs - Paperback

by Timothy J. Sakach (Joint Author)

The ancient Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs is the death bed talks between the sons of Jacob and their children. Here is found answers to the stories told in the Bible about which there has been much unnecessary speculation. What was the real sin of Onan? Why was Joseph sold? Which brothers wanted to kill Joseph and why? This text was translated by R. H. Charles about 100 years ago.The translation contained words that are now obsolete, awkward sentence structure, and dialogue in King James English. This made the book a difficult read for today's readers. Timothy Sakach, Theologian, speaker, editor, writer and publisher revitalized the copy making the stories and instructions come alive. Each testament follows a pattern that appears to have been started by Enoch. Gather the sons. Confess the mistakes and troubles this caused. Instruct in righteousness and faith. Warnings about the end time troubles that will come on their offspring. Exhortation to remain faithful to EL and Yahua (the "God" of Abraham and Isaac.) And instructions for burial. All of the testaments were delivered while Jacob's family was in Egypt.
