The anxiety of the past year has been at fever pitch. One item of note that should not be a source of angst is whether or not Satan /Lucifer will gain an upper hand. Prophecies within scripture debunk that thought quite thoroughly.

First Stop – Ephod of the High Priest
Exodus 28:17-21 – “Put on the Ephod settings of stones, four rows of stones: the first row is to be a carnelian, a topaz and an emerald; the second row a green feldspar, a sapphire and a diamond; the third row an orange zircon, an agate and an amethyst; and the fourth row a beryl, an onyx and a jasper. They are to be mounted in their gold settings. The stones will correspond to the names of the twelve sons of Israel; they are to be engraved with their names as a seal would be engraved, to represent the twelve tribes.”

The above translations of the stones are from the Hebrew words, which are: Odem [H124], Pitdah [H6357], Bareqeth [H1304], Nophek [H5306], Sappiyr [H5601], Yahalom [H3095], Leshem [H3958], Shebuw [H7618], Aclamah [H306], Tarshish [H8658], Shoham [H7718], and Jashepheh [H3471].

Second Stop – The Sons of Jacob
The sons of Jacob, in order of birth are: Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah (Genesis 29:32-35), Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulon, Joseph (Genesis 30:6-22), and Benjamin (Genesis 35:18).

Third Stop – The Correlations
Taking the stones of the breastplate, and assigning them to each of the sons of Jacob in their birth order we find the following correlations:
Row 1
The Carnelian is assigned to Rueben
The Topaz is assigned to Simeon
The Emerald is assigned to Levi

Row 2
The Green Feldspar is assigned to Judah
The Sapphire is assigned to Dan
The Diamond is assigned to Naphtali

Row 3
The Zircon is assigned to Gad
The Agate is assigned to Asher
The Amethyst is assigned to Issachar

Row 4
The Beryl is assigned to Zebulon
The Onyx is assigned to Joseph
The Jasper is assigned to Benjamin

Fourth Stop – The Ephod of Lucifer
Ezekiel 28:13 – “You, Lucifer, were in Eden, the garden of God; covered with all kinds of precious stones: carnelians, topaz, diamonds, beryl, onyx, jasper, sapphires, green feldspar, emeralds.”

The missing stones of Lucifer's Ephod are found in the third row of the Priestly Ephod: the zircon, agate and amethyst, belonging to Gad, Asher, and Issachar.

Fifth Stop – The Prophecies
Genesis 14-20 – “Issachar is a strong donkey who will bend his back to the burden, and submit to forced labor . . . A troop shall overcome Gad, but he shall overcome at the last . . . Asher’s food shall be rich, and he shall yield royal delicacies.”

Yahweh knew, when he created Lucifer, that Lucifer would rebel and therefore placed limitations on him. In the blessing Jacob/Israel gave his sons in Genesis chapter 49, Yahweh says:
• Asher will produce a delicacy (a son) fit for royalty;
• Issachar will crouch between burdens; and
• Gad will be overcome by troops but will eventually succeed.

Sixth Stop – The Impact on Lucifer
By removing those three stones from Lucifer’s Ephod, Yahweh declared:
You, Lucifer, will never have a royal heir, a son that will sit and rule
• Yeshua is the son who is rules as King of Kings (Revelation 19:16)
You, Lucifer, will never carry anyone’s burden
• Yeshua will be the carrier of burdens and take sin from the world; (John 1:29) and
You, Lucifer, will never be an over comer
• Yeshua was crucified, but overcame death, hell, and the devil!! (Hebrews 2:14, Revelation 1:18)

Conclusions
The missing stones in Lucifer’s Ephod tell a very interesting story: Lucifer will never be king, will never bear another’s sins, and will never overcome – those attributes belong only to Yeshua. Fear not, Yeshua is coming to rapture his bride, judge the unbelieving, save Israel, and claim his eternal kingship. May he come quickly.
