ESAU SON OF ISAAC AND REBEKAH

ESAU SON OF ISAAC AND REBEKAH



‘Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to be his wife … Rebekah was barren so Isaac entreated the Lord for his wife then Rebekah conceived. 
The babies struggled together within her (causing distress). Rebekah said, "If it be so, why do I live?" 
She went to inquire of the Lord. He said to her, “Two nations are in your womb. 
Two nations will be separated from your body. 
One nation will be stronger than the other. The elder child will serve the younger.” 
When her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. 
The first was born red all over like a hairy garment. They named him Esau (meaning red and 
hairy). Then his brother was born with his hand holding Esau's heel. 
He was named Jacob (usurper or supplanter). 
Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah bore them. The boys grew. 
Esau was a skilful hunter, a man of the field. 
Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents. 
Isaac favoured Esau because he ate his venison. Rebekah favoured Jacob. After Jacob boiled some stew, Esau came in from the field and was famished. Esau said to Jacob, "Please feed me some red stew, for I am famished." Jacob said, "First, sell me your birthright." 
Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die. What good is the birthright to me?" 
Jacob said, "Swear to me first." Esau swore to him. 
He sold his birthright to Jacob. Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils. 
He ate and drank, rose up and went his way. Esau trivialised his birthright’ 
(Genesis 25:20 to 34).

SAME SEX MARRIAGE WILL BRING GOD'S JUDGEMENT

Image
New topical topic To the foolish politicians who vote for same sex marriage, we Christians must stand up and declare: In the Name of Jesus our Saviour, stop your stupid nonsense. Do you not realise that by passing the law to allow same sex couples to marry, you are bringing God’s wrath and judgement upon your country – upon the people your swore to represent? Do not pass that bill; do not allow same sex couples to marry; do not accept that same sex marriage is okay – because it is not. It is the legal sanctioning of an abomination to God, and that was the turning point in God’s decision to destroy the earth with a flood. If that does not impress you, then perhaps the knowledge that next time God sends His judgement to earth, He will burn the whole earth with fire (Isaiah 66:14 to16; 2 Peter 3:7, 10 & 12).

EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES

Image
EGYPT'S TEN PLAGUES The Pharaoh in the time of Moses was a hard, stubborn and ruthless man. His heart was very hard and the  Lord hardened his heart even more so.  He would not initially allow the Hebrews to leave Egypt but after ten  horrific plagues, the Pharaoh forced the Hebrews to flee and they took tons of gold, silver, precious stones, flocks, herds and clothing as payment for many years of unpaid slavery.  They were not slaves when they first  went into Egypt, but after Joseph died and a new Pharaoh arose, the Hebrews were then forced to be  slaves.  In spite of their slavery the Hebrews had so many children, at one point in time the Hebrews outnumbered the Egyptians. The ten plagues were divine judgement on a very idolatrous nation. See more at: www.bibleabookoftruth.com
