About this ebook
An important prophetic principle to grasp is that whatever is in the natural has its spiritual counterpart. This is particular so in regard to the Tribes of Israel. There are "spiritual tribes" today which amazingly still carry the same characteristics within them as did their forebears, the twelve sons of Jacob and the twelve tribes. This publication examines what the spiritual understanding and anointing of "Issachar" is about.

Issachar the Son
The name Issachar
comes from a Hebrew word transliterated into English as yissaskar. Based upon the text of Gen. 30: 14-18 it means he will bring a reward
(Strongs H3485)
And in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went out and found mandrakes in the field. And he brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Please give to me from the mandrakes of your son. And she said to her, is your taking my husband a little thing? Will you also take my son's mandrakes? And Rachel said, So he shall be with you tonight, for your son's mandrakes. And Jacob came in from the field at evening. And Leah went out to meet him. And she said, You must come in to me, for hiring I have hired you with my son's mandrakes. And he lay with her during that night. And God listened to Leah, and she conceived and bore a fifth son to Jacob. And Leah said, God has given my hire; I gave my slave-girl to my husband. And she called his name Issachar.
We can see a Biblical principle at work here. Whatever the circumstances surrounding one’s birth usually brings forth the destiny and calling of that person.
This principle of course is NOT to be confused with astrology or other occult-like practices! Nevertheless Issachar was born under quite strange circumstances. He was the product of his father Jacob, being hired
by Leah, his first wife.
You may recall that Jacob had two wives who were also sisters (see Gen. 29: 16-18). There was much rivalry between these two, with Rachel being Jacob’s first choice as his wife. But he had been deceived by his father-in-law Laban into marrying the older sister Leah first (Gen. 29: 18-30 ), and had to spend seven years paying
for the right to marry his actual choice who was Rachel.
When married, Leah bore Jacob four sons whilst Rachel had not yet conceived. So although Leah had Jacob's children, barren Rachel had his love. To be childless in that ancient world was a great disgrace, and Rachel
bore the pain of that mockery every day from her sister Leah, even though it seems
