🇺🇸Pray For The Peace of Jerusalem 🇮🇱(2/17/26)[Prayer]





A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 27:1-17

27 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, here am I.

2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:

3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me some venison;

4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.

5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it. 6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,

7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the Lord before my death.

8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.

9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:

10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.

11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:

12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.

15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:

16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:

17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

The King James Version

A "Proverbial" Sculptor was unloading his tools and materials from his car when he inadvertently left out two boxes of supplies. He collected his belongings, put them away, made lunch, and had a nice afternoon in the air-conditioned studio working on his latest project. However, when he reached for the aforementioned supplies, he realized that two boxes had been sitting outside in the hot sun all afternoon.

The first box contained wax that the artist used to make his initial models before sculpting the final piece. He also used the wax to make jewelry, where a precious metal would be poured into a mold, and replace the intricate wax model with shining gold. The wax had gotten a little soft in the sun, but it was OK. In fact, the artist usually had to soften the wax up a bit to make it easier to mold it into something beautiful. Great! It wasn't ruined after all. Now...as for the other box...

The other box contained modeling clay, which is essentially mud from the earth that can be made into ceramics. Unfortunately, clay, when left in the hot sun, becomes adobe, which is a crumbly low-quality brick. The clay that had been soft a few hours before was now useless. The Sculptor threw the adobe brick out into the parking lot, where it broke into pieces and was eventually crushed into dust by the city traffic.

The two substances had been exposed to the same glaring afternoon sun, on the same city sidewalk, for the same number of hours, but the responses of the two substances were different. The wax became supple and malleable, and was able to be turned into something beautiful. The clay, on the other hand, became hard and brittle and not good for anything. And so it is with human suffering.

Esau and Jacob were Twins (probably Fraternal rather than Identical), and they were raised under the same conditions. They had the same parents, the same upbringing, and nearly the same DNA. Yet, even before they were born, they struggled with one another in Rebecca's womb. They had remarkably different Personalities.

The Pre Natal struggle continued after their birth, so much so that it put a strain on Isaac and Rebecca's relationship. They each had favorites, which caused the rift between the brothers to become even worse.

Psychologists and Family Counselors can argue for Millennia over why Esau was the way he was, and why Jacob took advantage of it. Neither the Twins nor their Parents are to be considered Models of a Healthy Family.

Rebecca shows poor judgment in using deception to insure Jacob's Birthright. She also takes advantage of her much older, and nearly blind, husband. This is the one that she had been so in love with just a few decades before.

This ruse will completely backfire on her, and, due to her deception, she will probably never see her beloved Jacob again. Not only that, but Esau and Isaac weren't too happy with her either.

Further study in both the Old and New Testaments will show that God wanted the Blessing to go to Jacob all along. However, I'm willing to theorize that, if Rebecca hadn't deceived her husband, God would have conveyed the Blessing in a different way.

It looks to me like Rebecca was emulating her late Mother-In-Law Sarah, by trying to circumvent God's Plan and do it "her" way.

That's a Recipe for Disaster!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)

Psalm 91

1 You who live in the shelter of the Most High,
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty,*
2 will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress;
my God, in whom I trust.’
3 For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler
and from the deadly pestilence;
4 he will cover you with his pinions,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.
5 You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
6 or the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
or the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only look with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge,*
the Most High your dwelling-place,
10 no evil shall befall you,
no scourge come near your tent.

11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways.
12 On their hands they will bear you up,
so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the adder,
the young lion and the serpent you will trample under foot.

14 Those who love me, I will deliver;
I will protect those who know my name.
15 When they call to me, I will answer them;
I will be with them in trouble,
I will rescue them and honour them.

Joining in prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem and for our beloved America.

Again, another good lesson tying Rebbeca’s deceit like Sarah’s.
