Genesis
\n28 \u2013 31<\/p>\n
This section is the story of Jacob and his quest for a
\nmarrying his love Rachael. Verse 28:15 though brings an ominous message today:<\/p>\n
Know I am with
\nyou, and I will watch over you no matter where you go. One day<\/i> I will
\nbring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done all I have
\npromised you.<\/p>\n
This is ominous today, because most of the
\nprophecies have been fulfilled and the ones that haven\u2019t appear to be cueing up
\non the horizon. So I take this as once it\u2019s over \u2026 it\u2019s over. Now is this
\nbecause it will be God and \u201credeemed\u201d man in paradise or God will be fed up?
\nNow don\u2019t worry, there is enough in scripture to support the first option, but
\nout of context this could be a worry.<\/p>\n
Now back to Jacob\u2019s story and his
\nadventure. After this dream he realizes his purpose with God and is instructed
\nto go to Laban and marry one of his daughters. As you read the story notice how
\nthe tables get turned on Jacob. Remember the one who took advantage of his
\nbrothers hunger to gain the birthright and then deceived his father to get the
\nblessing. Well for 20 years Laban takes advantage of Jacob because his love for
\nRachel, but he gets deceived and taken advantage of over and over.<\/p>\n
Even as he is leaving, he had to work to
\nget what was promised to him. Funny how God takes the one who took advantage of
\nhis brother only to be taken advantage of himself. Remember this story as you
\nread the story of Joseph and see how God corrects his problems. A common theme
\nin most of these stories is God\u2019s selected person has some personal issues to
\ndeal with and it is masterful how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Here Jacob sees the latter in a dream that
\nindicates that he is God\u2019s chosen one and then summarily spends 20 years as an
\nindentured servant all while building the heads of the 12 tribes of Israel. Now
\nwhen you have spent many years in a difficult situation, know what the end
\nresult may be. Also, don\u2019t expect it either, since that seems to cause problems
\nwith God.<\/p>\n
