    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.”

    A Temporary Throne – 36

     Previously: COME, ROGER. I WILL SHOW YOU THE LOVE OF TWO BROTHERS.

    I KNEW ESAU AND I KNEW JACOB.

    CHAPTER 36

    Genesis 25: 21 Now Isaac pleaded with the Lord for his wife, because she was barren; and the Lord granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

    22 But the children struggled together within her… 24 So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, indeed there were twins in her womb. 25 And the first came out red… so they called his name Esau. 26 Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; so his name was called Jacob…

    27 So the boys grew… 28 And Isaac loved Esau… but Rebekah loved Jacob.

    The LORD then said to me words I knew from scripture:

    JACOB I LOVED, BUT ESAU I HATED.

    “Lord, I have never understood this.”

    Romans 9: For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, 7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham… 11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who calls), 12 it was said to her, “The older shall serve the younger.” 13 As it is written, “Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.”

     

    I TAKE THE WORD OF A MAN SERIOUSLY… FOR BETTER OR WORSE.

    ESAU SPOKE AGAINST ME TO JACOB. I AM THE LORD.

     

    Genesis 25: 32 And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”
    33 Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.”
    So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob… Thus Esau despised his birthright.

     

    THE WORD OF A MAN IS ESTABLISHED UNTIL DEATH.
    THE WORD OF THE LORD LIVES FOREVER.
