    A Temporary Throne – 42

    CHAPTER 42

    Genesis 35: 13 Then God went up from him in the place where he had spoken with him.
    14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it. 15 So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.

    I was with the LORD through the entire scene of days and the worship of Jacob Israel. I looked on in awe of this time and place. Bethel – a place of worship – a high heap of stones in a high place where God met once more with a mere mortal man.

    Then the LORD showed me a terrible passing scene of time in this place – a fast-forward of men and conflict and death and fear and famine and buildings and cities and walls and valleys and armies and devastation and more buildings and altars of idols and glowing of golden domes.

    The LORD showed me a terrible foreboding scene of fire and fronts of confronting armies a valley of smoke and death.

    Then the Light of the LORD lifted my troubled soul once more to the Throne of Heaven.  The LORD showed me once more a scene within the intricacy of a human body. I heard a steady pulse of three hearts: one loud, steady and strong; the other two pulses much quicker, yet faint in the newness of their struggling new lives.

    Then the LORD showed me within this womb: two tiny twin fetuses: full of life, with quick contentious hearts, beating rapidly within their formed living bodies, floating in the waters of life. I looked on in awe of a living scene only recently shown to man in the two dimensions of an ultra-sound image of a mother’s womb.

    The LORD then reminded me what this was all about:

    BROTHERS.

    A Temporary Throne – 38

     CHAPTER 38

    Genesis 27:41 So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

    ESAU HATED A MAN I BLESSED.

    CURSED IS ANY MAN WHO HATES WHAT I HAVE BLESSED. I AM THE LORD.

    THE LORD had brought me to Mahanaim at the cry of Jacob’s prayer.

    Genesis 32: 11 Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and attack me and the mother with the children. 12 For You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.’”

     

    YET ESAU GAVE TIME FOR HIS SIN TO NOT RULE OVER HIM.  ESAU WOULD NOT BEAR THE SIN AND PUNISHMENT OF CAIN.

    Now THE LORD brought me to their reunion which Jacob feared.

    Genesis 33: 4 But Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. 5 And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?”

    So he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” 6 Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down. 7 And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.
    8 Then Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?”
    And he said, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
    9 But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”

    A Temporary Throne – 37

    CHAPTER 37

    Proverbs 18: 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

     

    FROM THE WOMB ESAU HONORED HIS FATHER, BUT DID NOT HONOR HIS GOD AND CREATOR.  I AM THE LORD.

     

    Genesis 27: Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.”

    And he answered him, “Here I am.”
    2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death …make me savory food, such as I love… that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”

     

    ESAU IS A GROWN MAN SEEKING WHAT HE EXCHANGED FOR FOOD AS A YOUNG MAN.  ISAAC IS A MAN OF HIS WORD.

     

    34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”

    35 But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
    36 And Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”

    Then I said to the LORD, “Esau remembered his word to his brother from years before. As You allowed Esau to be born first, You allowed Jacob to supplant him from his rightful blessing, which he disavowed.”

    HEAR ISAAC’S BLESSING AND UNDERSTAND.

     

    “… And it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
    That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
