    A Temporary Throne – 31

    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.

    A Temporary Throne – 30

    Continuing Roger’s conversation with GOD of the marriage of Isaac & Rebekah

     CHAPTER 30

    “I had never given much thought to Isaac and Rebekah as a model of marriage and the family.”

    YET ESAU AND JACOB, SEED OF SETH, WERE ALSO SEED OF ADAM, LIKE CAIN AND ABEL.

    SIN LEAVENS EVERY LOVE:

    LOVE OF HUSBAND AND WIFE, LOVE OF BROTHERS; LOVE OF PARENTS AND CHILDREN.

     

    Genesis 26: 34 When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.

    “Esau already despised his birthright.” (Gen. 25:34)

    Genesis 27: Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?”

    46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”

    “Rebekah could have grieved like Eve, after Cain murdered Abel.”

    Genesis 28: 8 Also Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please his father Isaac. 9 So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

    “So Esau has three wives, but Jacob will be tricked by his uncle Laban into marrying twice.”

    Genesis 29:16 Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel. 17 Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.

    A Temporary Throne – 29

    Previously, we questioned GOD about the three wives of ‘Father Abraham.’

    CHAPTER 29

    Genesis 24: 66 And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. 67 Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

    “Isaac loved Rebekah, but did Rebekah love him?” For she later deceived her husband to bless Jacob over Esau, I thought.

    HAVE YOU EVER DECEIVED YOUR WIFE, THOUGH SHE LOVED YOU?

    I knew well the answer: more than once.

    Then I thought less of how I had been deceived. I forgave, as I had been forgiven.

    REBEKAH LOVED ISAAC. I PLANTED THE SEED OF MY PROMISES IN HER WOMB. REBEKAH ALSO LOVED ME.

    Genesis 25: 22 But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. 23 And the Lord said to her:
    “Two nations are in your womb,
    Two peoples shall be separated from your body;
    One people shall be stronger than the other,
    And the older shall serve the younger.”
    24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb.

     

    I LOVED ISAAC AS A MAN LOVES HIS ONLY SON.

    ISAAC AND REBEKAH LOVED EACH OTHER AS ONE. ISAAC AND REBEKAH LOVED ME AS ONE. I AM THE LORD. I AM LOVE.

    TO REBEKAH, WHOM I LOVED, I REVEALED WHAT MUST BE FULFILLED BY THEIR SONS. DOES A MOTHER NOT ALSO LOVE ALL HER CHILDREN?
