Jacob Blesses His Sons
…18I await Your salvation, O LORD. 19Gad will be attacked by raiders, but he will attack their heels.20Asher’s food will be rich; he shall provide royal delicacies.…
Deuteronomy 33:20
Concerning Gad he said: "Blessed is he who enlarges the domain of Gad! He lies down like a lion and tears off an arm or a head.
Gad, a troop shall overcome him: but he shall overcome at the last.

Genesis 30:11
And Leah said, A troop cometh: and she called his name Gad.
Genesis 46:16
And the sons of Gad; Ziphion, and Haggi, Shuni, and Ezbon, Eri, and Arodi, and Areli.
Numbers 32:1-42
Now the children of Reuben and the children of Gad had a very great multitude of cattle: and when they saw the land of Jazer, and the land of Gilead, that, behold, the place was a place for cattle; …
(19) Gad.--The word Gad, as we have seen (Genesis 30:11), means good fortune, but Jacob connects it with the root gadad, "to gather in troops." Thus, then, "A troop" or "throng of plunderers shall throng upon him, but he shall throng upon their heel." Settling upon the east of t
he Jordan he shall be exposed to many a sudden incursion of plunderers, but, though ever unready, he shall gather his forces and repel them, and follow with avenging energy upon their rear.

Split down the belly ........Two heads and Four arms.....Nastrodomis hit this outta the park!
2016
1.31
So many years war shall last in France,
Beyond the course of Castilian monarch,
An uncertain victory three great ones shall crown,
The eagle, cock, moon, lion, sun in it mark.
1.32
The great empire will soon change place,
For a better place, it will grow in size,
Very tiny place of a small account,
In the middle of it, he will lay down his scepter.

12 Oxen on the Brazen Leaver
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon%2…
So [Elijah] departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth:

The 12th Foundation Stone is an amethyst= "dream stone"
biblestudy.org/bible-study-by….
The first of these stones, the ligure or lyncurius, is said to be so called from the congealed urine of the lynx (n), but rather from the spots of that creature; for, according to Danaeus (o), it is the same stone with that called "stellina", from having many specks like stars
spread about in it. Braunius (p) takes the "jacinth" stone to be here meant, and so does Ainsworth; see Revelation 21:20

Jacob, however, got some fresh shoots of poplar, almond and plane* trees, and he peeled white stripes in them by laying bare the white core of the shoots.
38
The shoots that he had peeled he then set upright in the watering troughs where the animals came to drink so that they Image
would be in front of them. When the animals were in heat as they came to drink,

the goats mated by the shoots, and so they gave birth to streaked, speckled, and spotted young.

The sheep, on the other hand, Jacob kept apart, and he made these animals face the streaked or
completely dark animals of Laban. Thus he produced flocks of his own, which he did not put with Laban’s flock.

Whenever the hardier animals were in heat, Jacob would set the shoots in the troughs in full view of these animals, so that they mated by the shoots;

Mirrors
One of the key motifs of Through the Looking-Glass is that of mirrors, including the use of opposites, time running backward, and so on, not to mention the title of the book itself. In fact, the themes and settings of the book make it somewhat of a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night https://en.wi
