CHAPTER 31

Gen. 29:18 Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”  19 And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man.

IT WAS NOT MY WILL THAT LABAN SHOULD GIVE EITHER DAUGHTER TO ANOTHER MAN.

JACOB LOVED RACHEL.  JACOB BECAME ONE IN THE FLESH WITH LEAH.

24 And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid. 25 So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah.

“Couldn’t Jacob have just been faithful to his one wife, Leah, and returned with her only?”

AFTER SEVEN YEARS JACOB MARRIED LEAH IN THE FLESH,

YET JACOB WAS ALREADY MARRIED TO RACHEL IN SPIRIT.

28 Then Jacob did so and fulfilled her week.

I HAD WILLED THESE FOUR WIVES TO JACOB FOR MY COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM.

THESE FOUR MARRIAGES HAD MY BLESSING.

YET OF JACOB’S WIVES AND CHILDREN, I GAVE MY HIGHEST BLESSING TO THE WIFE JACOB LOVED.

THEIR CHILDREN WERE TO RECEIVE THE FRUIT OF THEIR LOVE THROUGH MY BLESSING.

So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also. 29 And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid. 30 Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven years.

“Therefore, Israel and his four wives were fruitful and multiplied, as you had commanded man since Noah.”

SINCE THE BEGINNING, ROGER, MY COMMAND OF BLESSING TO ADAM AND EVE – TO A MAN AND A WOMAN OF BLESSING.
