The story of Tamar in Genesis 38 symbolizes Israel's future redemption. Tamar represents Israel, barren after the death of her husbands Er and Onan. This depicts Israel without God's protection and power due to unbelief. However, Tamar conceives twins, representing Christ's two comings to rule the nations. The scarlet-bound hand represents God's initial offer of redemption to Israel, later withdrawn due to unbelief. Nonetheless, the other son breaks through, symbolizing new birth through the crucified and resurrected Christ. Perez, meaning "breach," is blamed for the breach between God and man that Christ heals. Israel must first receive Christ before full deliverance
