-Matthew 4:12 ''And having heard that Iohannes had been handed over [arrested] He withdrew into Galilaia. 13 And leaving Nazareth, having come He settled in Kapharnaoum by the sea in the regions of Zaboulon and Nephthalim,14 in order that that which had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying: “15 Land of Zaboulon, and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea, opposite the Jordan, circuit of the nations, 16 the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death, a light has risen up for them.” 17 From that time Yahshua began to proclaim and to say “Repent! For the kingdom of the heavens has neared!”''
+Matthew interprets the arrival of Christ in Capernaum as a fulfillment of prophecy:<blockquote>Matthew 4:12 ''And having heard that Iohannes had been handed over [arrested] He withdrew into Galilaia. 13 And leaving Nazareth, having come He settled in Kapharnaoum by the sea in the regions of Zaboulon and Nephthalim,14 in order that that which had been spoken through Isaiah the prophet would be fulfilled, saying: “15 Land of Zaboulon, and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea, opposite the Jordan, circuit of the nations, 16 the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and for those sitting in the region and shadow of death, a light has risen up for them.” 17 From that time Yahshua began to proclaim and to say “Repent! For the kingdom of the heavens has neared!”''</blockquote>This prophecy concerning “Galilee of the Gentiles” is a quote of Isa. 9:1 (where the A.V. has “Galilee of the Nations”). Matt. 4:14 infers that Isaiah’s prophecy would be fulfilled when Yahshua left Nazareth (Matt. 4:13) for “Galilee of the Gentiles.” But was that alone the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecy? And Matt. 4:16, which quotes Psalm 23:4? Certainly NOT! Rather it was only the '''commencement''' of the fulfillment of the prophecy, which would take quite some time to fulfill.
-Genesis 49:13 states that Zebulun would dwell among ships bordering Sidon, “... at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.”
+Matthew next describes the calling of the [[Ambassadors (apostles)|apostles]] by Yahshua (4:18 ff.), of which 11 were of the tribe of [[Benjamin (tribe)|Benjamin]]. Discussion of the twelfth, [[Judas Iscariot|Judas Ish Kerioth]], is beyond the scope of our purpose here. Many of Benjamin and [[Levi (Tribe)|Levi]] settled in [[Galilee]] after the return from [[Babylonian Captivity|Babylon]], which is evident from the Scriptures. [[Paul of Tarsus|Saul of Tarsus]], called much later, was also of Benjamin (Rom. 11:1). When the ancient Kingdom of Israel was divided after [[Solomon]]’s death, Benjamin was left with the Tribe of [[Judah (Tribe)|Judah]] for this very purpose (1 Kings 11:9-13, 36). The apostles of this tribe were fulfilling their duties as the light-bearers to Israel.
-Zebulun’s inherited land was neither near Sidon, nor was it near any sea , including the sea of Chinneroth (Josh. 19:10-16). However, if one is knowledgeable concerning Israel’s early migrations into [[Europe]], then reading Isaiah 9:1 “''... and afterward did more grievously afflict them by the way of the sea '''opposite''' Jordan, in the '''region''' of the Nations''” makes perfectly good sense! And where did the [[Ambassadors (apostles)|light-bearers]] of [[Benjamin (tribe)|Benjamin]] go after the [[Passion of the Christ|Passion]], upon leaving Palestine? To the people who walked in darkness – in [[Europe]] and [[Asia Minor]].
+But Galilee did not originally belong to Benjamin. When the land was divided originally, towns in the territory of [[Naphtali (tribe)|Naphtali]] were said to be in “Galilee”, i.e. Josh. 20:7. Would Isaiah say that the region of Galilee in [[Palestine]] was of (belonging to) “gentiles”, or even non-Israel “nations”, knowing that the land belonged to Israel? Such is highly unlikely. Reading Isaiah 9:1, however, there is still much more to “Galilee of the Nations” than this.<blockquote>Isaiah 9:1 Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of [[Zebulun (tribe)|Zebulun]] and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.</blockquote>How could Zebulun and Naphtali be afflicted by “... way of the sea beyond [[Jordan River|Jordan]], in Galilee of the Nations”? That truly does not describe the [[sea of Galilee]] at all, and there is no discussion in the Old Testament describing any shipping traffic by Zebulun or Naphtali in that small sea. Even in the time of Christ, the sea of Galilee was plied by little more than small fishing craft. So what else may this statement mean?

For the kingdom of the heavens has neared!”''

Genesis 49:13 states that Zebulun would dwell among ships bordering Sidon, “... at the haven of the sea; and he shall be for a haven of ships; and his border shall be unto Zidon.”

Zebulun’s inherited land was neither near Sidon, nor was it near any sea , including the sea of Chinneroth (Josh. 19:10-16). However, if one is knowledgeable concerning Israel’s early migrations into [[Europe]], then reading Isaiah 9:1 “''... and afterward did more grievously afflict them by the way of the sea '''opposite''' Jordan, in the '''region''' of the Nations''” makes perfectly good sense! And where did the [[Ambassadors (apostles)|light-bearers]] of [[Benjamin (tribe)|Benjamin]] go after the [[Passion of the Christ|Passion]], upon leaving Palestine? To the people who walked in darkness – in [[Europe]] and [[Asia Minor]].

It is apparent that dwelling among ships bordering Sidon depicts the networks of Zebulun throughout the Mediterranean Sea.
