Jesus Himself didn't know but Prince claims he knows this Benjamin Generation will be the last before the rapture. If that is not enough to send you screaming for the exit...let's examine the doctrine contained within the preaching of the Benjamin Generation. Please keep in mind that we only have access to the nine minute snippet Prince allows to be on YouTube. I have no intention of paying him $36 for the privilege of hearing the rest of his heresy because there was more than enough in the nine minutes.

The snippet opens up with an amazed Prince looking at Genesis 43:29:
And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!" - Genesis 43: 29 (ESV)
Prince gleefully highlights the word gracious and declares that Jesus is yearning for a grace generation! That "grace locates that generation." A Benjamin Generation! Because Joseph used the word gracious here! I kid you not. How absolutely ridiculous is this assertion? This is the cornerstone of the hyper-grace heresy. It searches for any reference to grace or derivative thereof and creates whole doctrine out of thin air. Jacob uses the word gracious twice in Genesis 33, that doesn't mean there is a "Jacob Generation" coming anytime soon. Sometimes the text is what the text is. Joseph greeted his brother with a familial and heartfelt greeting. There was no hidden meaning in it denoting insight into the final generation before the rapture. Prince then turns his attention to a few verses later:
Portions were taken to them from Joseph's table, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. And they drank and were merry with him. - Genesis 43: 34 (ESV)
A jubilant Prince now concludes that "God will serve you five times as much" food in the natural and spiritual realm if you are part of this Benjamin Generation. Did you catch that? God will serve you. If that does not highlight the heart of the hyper-grace deception I do not know what else will. That God is now somehow subservient to us. That He no longer is allowed to be angry with us or be wrathful towards us. That He no longer will care about His law regarding us. Lies straight from the pit of hell. Look how ridiculous this doctrinal assertion is beloved! Because Joseph gave Benjamin five times as much over 4000 years ago, Joseph Prince has now determined God secretly orchestrated this, fooling every major theologian in history, to single out the last generation before the rapture so He could serve them five times as much as everyone else. But wait! There's more!
To each and all of them he gave a change of clothes, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five changes of clothes. - Genesis 45: 22 (ESV)
