Jacob's deception of Isaac in Genesis 27:1-45 teaches us God's sovereign, redemptive will is always done, in spite of any person's opposition to it.

Contributed by Tom Shepard on Nov 22, 2024

These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Forty-Eight. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

GENESIS CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Joseph visits his dying father who blesses the two sons of Joseph.

The Blessings Of Children

Contributed by Mark A. Barber on Aug 8, 2017

Jacob: Manipulating A Birthright Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 5, 2022

Normally the birthright goes to the firstborn son. That would be Jacob’s brother Esau. Now we will look at how Jacob manipulated the birthright for the blessing. By custom Esau was to inherit the blessings of Abraham and Isaac. This fellow Jacob stole Esau’s birthright and blessing.

Jacob: Manipulating a birthright Genesis 25:19-34 I think many of us will be able to relate to Jacob. He had faults and failings that are very common weaknesses we have. It’s not that we do not relate to the weakness of his father Isaac and his grandfather Abraham, but Jacobs selfish and ...read more

Jacob’s Sorrows Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 18, 2022

Our circumstances distort our perspective. Troubles come on everyone. They came on Jacob; they will come on us. We can easily lose perspective and make things seem worse than they really are. Jacob vowed to go down to the grave mourning Joseph and Joseph was not even dead.

Jacob’s Sorrows Genesis 34-50 When you here, they lived happily ever after, what do you associate that with? Yes, a fairy tale. Everything will work out just fine. You read that story to a child and with that ending you close the book feeling good. The Bible does not give us a, they lived ...read more
