  Genesis chapter 27, let us pray our Lord God Almighty who reigns
• 0:07
  on high. We thank you Lord for another
• 0:09
  day to come and worship you in spirit and truth.
• 0:12
  We thank you God for salvation. We thank you God for the church.
• 0:16
  We thank you God for life and the abundant life.
• 0:20
  God, I pray you fill us up. Fill us overflowing with the
• 0:23
  Holy Spirit. God, help us to see you high and
• 0:26
  lifted up. Help us to see you correctly
• 0:29
  above over every single principality, over all rulers
• 0:33
  and dominions. God, you are high and lifted up.
• 0:37
  You are the most high. God El Elyon, we love you.
• 0:41
  Father, I thank you God for the Holy Spirit.
• 0:44
  I thank you God, for the cross of Christ.
• 0:47
  I thank you, God, for saving us. Lord, save more.
• 0:50
  Bring more, many more in. Father, I pray that you'll
• 0:55
  buying the enemy, rebuke the enemy, Father, in Jesus name
• 0:59
  from off of us. Lord, heal our broken bodies,
• 1:02
  heal. Marriage is God.
• 1:04
  I pray that fathers will return back to their home, that
• 1:07
  mothers, God will be tender and children will be obedient.
• 1:11
  Father, I pray that you'll continue to move us into greater
• 1:17
  measures of your love and mercy. Lord, you are worthy to be
• 1:20
  praised. It's all about you.
• 1:22
  King Jesus, it's always been about you.
• 1:25
  Hide me and hide my words. Hide my thoughts.
• 1:29
  I decrease as you increase. King Jesus, come and get your
• 1:32
  glory. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
• 1:36
  Let's start in verse one. And it came to pass that when
• 1:41
  Isaac was old and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, he
• 1:45
  called. He saw his eldest son and said
• 1:47
  to him, My son. And he said to him, Behold, here
• 1:51
  I am. So here we're going to see how
• 1:54
  God had told Rebecca when she was inquiring of him of what
• 1:59
  kind of war was going on inside of her womb.
• 2:02
  And he said there were two nations that were warring inside
• 2:05
  of her womb and that the oldest would serve the youngest.
• 2:09
  And we're going to see here how it all plays out for in verse 2.
• 2:13
  And he said, behold, now I am old.
• 2:15
  I know not the day of my death. And that's the thing you need to
• 2:19
  know is that 10 people out of 10 die, Friends, we're all going to
• 2:23
  have to die. And then it is appointed for us
• 2:27
  to meet our Maker. Make sure you live every single
• 2:31
  day ready to meet your Maker. Do not let it catch you off
• 2:35
  guard. Do not wait for a more expedient
• 2:38
  time to serve him, to worship him.
• 2:41
  Today is the day of salvation. Friends, Verse 3.
• 2:45
  Now, therefore, take, I pray you, your weapons, your quiver,
• 2:49
  your bow, and go out into the field.
• 2:51
  Take me some venison. So here you can see that Esau
• 2:56
  has learned how to cook. He's no longer relying on old
• 3:01
  Jacob for his Stew. For and make me savory meat such
• 3:06
  as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may
• 3:10
  bless you before I die. So we remember that Esau the
• 3:15
  hunter was Isaac's favorite, and that Jacob is Rebecca's
• 3:23
  favorite. 5 And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his
• 3:28
  son, and Esau went to the field to hunt for venison and to bring
• 3:32
  it. 6 And Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard
• 3:36
  your father speak to Esau, your brother, saying, 7 Bring me
• 3:40
  venison, and make me savory meat, and I may eat it and bless
• 3:44
  you before the Lord, before my death.
• 3:46
  So here, this is nonsensical, this, this was not needed and
• 3:49
  they were not trusting God. God had already told him how it
• 3:53
  would be and he already knows the beginning from the end and
• 3:56
  the end from the beginning. And they're moving within their
• 3:58
  own flesh. They're moving within their own
• 4:01
  understanding and it's going to cost them dearly, friends. 8 Now
• 4:11
  therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I
• 4:15
  command you. 9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me two good
• 4:19
  kids of the goats, and I will make them savory meat for your
• 4:23
  father, such as he loves. 10 And you shall bring it to your
• 4:27
  father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his
• 4:30
  death. So here Rebecca is plotting this
• 4:34
  plan and telling old Jacob to go and to deceive his father and
• 4:41
  look at him living up to his namesake, the heel catcher, the
• 4:46
  deceiver. And that is the nation that we
• 4:49
  see today that has sprung up. And all of this is in the
• 4:53
  context. It all makes sense of why Israel
• 4:57
  gets such a bad rap even today, and why we see that nation that
• 5:02
  is so incredibly prosperous in the hand of God is on it.
• 5:06
  And he put them there in that land.
• 5:08
  But you can see that they are still very much living in sin,
• 5:13
  just in the same way here that Jacob is sinning.
• 5:16
  And isn't God so incredibly rich in the tapestry of His love, of
• 5:21
  how he covers over our sins and His purposes remain even in the
• 5:28
  things that we do that are wrong?
• 5:30
  And this is how God operates. He operates within His own
• 5:35
  promises, and that is the power of our God.
• 5:38
  He told them how it would be that the older would serve the
• 5:42
  younger. And here you see them moving in
• 5:45
  their flesh. And God is still going to get
• 5:48
  the desires of his heart, and we can't mess it up if we tried.
• 5:57
  Tan, and you shall bring it to your father, that he may eat,
• 6:00
  and that he may bless you before his death. 11 And Jacob said to
• 6:04
  Rebecca, his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man,
• 6:07
  and I'm a smooth man. So here within the world and how
• 6:12
  the world operates in the culture, we would say that Esau
• 6:16
  was the manly man. And we see here that Jacob is a
• 6:22
  smooth skinned man. He was a mama's boy.
• 6:29
  Five. My father, peradventure will
• 6:32
  feel me, and I shall seem to him a deceiver, and I shall bring a
• 6:36
  curse upon me, and not a blessing.
• 6:38
  So he was worried that his father would curse him instead
• 6:42
  of blessing him. And we see from Adam, whenever
• 6:46
  God announced that there would come out of the genealogy of
• 6:51
  Adam someone to crush Satan's head.
• 6:54
  We see here this is passed down and down and down through the
• 6:58
  genealogy. And here you could see that that
• 7:02
  is why Jacob wanted the birthright and that is why he's
• 7:06
  wanting this blessing, because they know within the promises of
• 7:11
  God what is to come. And it was not missed on them as
• 7:16
  much as it is missed on us. 13 His mother said unto him unto
• 7:23
  me, Be the curse, my son, Just obey my voice, Go and fetch them
• 7:28
  for me. 14 And he went, and he fetched and brought them to his
• 7:32
  mother. And they made a savory meat,
• 7:35
  such as the father love. 15 And Rebecca took goodly clothing of
• 7:39
  her oldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put
• 7:43
  them upon Jacob, her younger son. 16 And he put the skins of
• 7:47
  the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of
• 7:51
  his neck. 17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread in
• 7:55
  which she had prepared to the hand of her son Jacob. 18 And he
• 7:59
  came to his father and said, My father.
• 8:02
  And he said, Here I am, Who are you, my son?
• 8:05
  So his voice gave him away, and so he's wanting to know, Who are
• 8:10
  you? You sound like Jacob. 19 And
• 8:17
  Jacob said to his father, I'm Esau, your first born.
• 8:22
  I have done according as you have bade me arise.
• 8:26
  I pray sit and eat of my venison, that your soul may
• 8:30
  bless me. He's saying, Give me the
• 8:32
  blessing, Sit up and eat and hear.
• 8:37
  Isaac is pondering within his own mind, What is this all
• 8:41
  about? 20 And Isaac said unto his son,
• 8:46
  How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?
• 8:49
  He said, Because the Lord your God brought it to me.
• 8:52
  Look at this deception. Not only is he wearing the hair
• 8:56
  on his hands and on his neck, but he's also deceiving him by
• 9:00
  telling his father that he's Esau and that he brings God into
• 9:04
  the equation and said that God gave him a quick hunt and that
• 9:09
  is why he's back so fast. 21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near,
• 9:18
  I pray you, that I may feel you, my son, whether you be my very
• 9:22
  son Esau or not. 22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father,
• 9:30
  and felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the
• 9:33
  hands are the hands of Esau. So here you can see that his
• 9:38
  father did not realize that he was being deceived. 23 And he
• 9:45
  discerned him not because his hands were hairy as his brother
• 9:48
  Esau's hands. So he blessed him.
• 9:50
  So you can see here that this deception is actually working.
• 9:55
  24 And he said, Are you my very son Esau?
• 9:59
  And he said, I am 25, And he said, bring it near to me, and I
• 10:03
  will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless you.
• 10:07
  And he brought it near to him that he did eat, and he brought
• 10:11
  him wine and he drank. So this deception runs deep.
• 10:15
  And you can see that he was already promised to be the heir,
• 10:20
  and he was already promised that the older would serve the
• 10:23
  younger. And now they're moving within
• 10:26
  their own strength. And This is why we see such
• 10:30
  frustration when we try to manufacture the things of God.
• 10:35
  The promises of God are yes and Amen to the Saint.
• 10:39
  If you're operating within God's will for your life, you need to
• 10:43
  know that He is already moving on your account, even whenever
• 10:48
  you're still stuck in the jail cell, as John the Baptist was.
• 10:53
  We do not need to be offended by his inactivity, friends.
• 10:57
  The greatest work of God is done in the waiting. 26 and his
• 11:05
  father Isaac said to him, Come near now and kiss me, my son.
• 11:10
  So here he's doing the smell test, he's already done the
• 11:14
  field test, and now he's wanting to know, Are you truly him?
• 11:19
  27 And he came near and kissed him, and he smelled the smell of
• 11:22
  his clothing, and he blessed him.
• 11:24
  And he said, see the smell, my son, is the smell of a field
• 11:28
  which the Lord has blessed in here.
• 11:30
  He's going to wax eloquently. He's going to flow.
• 11:34
  He's going to bless him with all of the mighty power of God upon
• 11:39
  him, and we still see this blessing upon Israel today. 38
• 11:44
  or 28 Therefore, God give you the dew of heaven and the
• 11:49
  fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine.
• 11:53
  Then we know that whenever all of the people came back into the
• 11:58
  land, when the Jews came back into the land there in 1948, it
• 12:04
  is one of the most profitable agricultural places on planet
• 12:10
  earth. You can see these desert regions
• 12:13
  turned back into very lush environments.
• 12:17
  And this is the fatness of the corn and the wine. 29 Let people
• 12:21
  serve you and nations bow down to you.
• 12:24
  Be Lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons bow down
• 12:29
  to you. Cursed be everyone that curses
• 12:32
  you, and blessed be He that blesses you.
• 12:35
  Anyone who blesses Israel will be blessed, and anyone who
• 12:38
  curses Israel will be cursed. That is matter of factual.
• 12:43
  That is period. And there is no wiggling out of
• 12:46
  it, friends. That is the actual fact of the
• 12:50
  matter. And you will be blessed if you
• 12:53
  bless them, and you will be cursed if you curse them.
• 12:56
  And that is settled and there is no debate about it.
• 13:00
  It is not open for any kind of debate.
• 13:03
  God said it, and we believe it, and that settles it. 30 And it
• 13:08
  came to pass as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing
• 13:12
  Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out of the presence of
• 13:16
  Isaac his father, that he saw his brother came in from his
• 13:19
  hunting. 31 And he also had made savory meat, and brought it unto
• 13:24
  his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise in
• 13:28
  need of his sons venison, that your soul may bless me. 32 And
• 13:32
  Isaac his father said to him, Who are you?
• 13:36
  And he said, I am your son, the first born Esau.
• 13:41
  He's saying I'm your favorite, Bless me, daddy. 33 And Isaac
• 13:47
  trembled very exceedingly and said, Who?
• 13:52
  Where is he that has taken venison and brought it me?
• 13:57
  And I have eaten of all before you came?
• 14:01
  And I have blessed him, and yeah, he shall be blessed.
• 14:05
  So even in Isaac's favoritism of his boy Esau, God still got the
• 14:16
  upper hand. Perhaps Esau was going to be
• 14:21
  blessed by his father and receive all of those blessings.
• 14:26
  But we see that the Edomites have gone by the wayside, and
• 14:29
  the Israelites are still mainstream today.
• 14:33
  Friends, what a thought. 34 And when Esau heard the words of his
• 14:42
  father, he cried with the great and exceeding bitter cry.
• 14:46
  And he said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, oh, my
• 14:51
  father. So here is Esau's unavailing
• 14:55
  remorse. And he is not a spiritual man.
• 14:59
  He cares nothing for the birthright, he cares nothing for
• 15:02
  the spirituality. It is not that he is actually
• 15:06
  remorseful, friends. He just wanted the upper hand.
• 15:13
  35 And he said, Your brother came with subtlety and has taken
• 15:17
  away your blessing. 36 And he said, is not he rightly named
• 15:22
  Jacob? For he has supplanted me these
• 15:26
  two times. He took away my birthright, and
• 15:29
  behold, now he has taken away my blessing.
• 15:32
  And he said, has you not reserved a blessing for me?
• 15:38
  Here we can see that the cry of Esau amounts to absolutely
• 15:43
  nothing that God had already predestined.
• 15:46
  He had already elected Jacob as the one who would go on to
• 15:54
  establish the Jews, and they're still here today.
• 15:59
  I pray that you pray for them. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
• 16:05
  He says, Have you no blessing for me?
• 16:08
  37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made
• 16:13
  him your Lord, and all his brothers have I given to him for
• 16:17
  servants, and with corn and wine I have a sustained him.
• 16:21
  And what shall I do now unto you, my Son?
• 16:26
  So we see that all those promises are yes and Amen in
• 16:30
  Christ Jesus. And He's moving everything along
• 16:33
  according to the timeline, friends, in the prophecy.
• 16:37
  And God's not done with Israel. God's not done with the nation
• 16:42
  of Israel. And the Jews, friends, He has
• 16:45
  sustained them. He has brought them in, friends,
• 16:49
  and they must come in through the Messiah.
• 16:51
  But the Messiah came through them, and they are the natural,
• 16:55
  and we are just the wild. 38 And Esau said unto his father, Have
• 17:02
  you but one blessing, my Father, bless me, even me also, O my
• 17:06
  Father. And Esau lifted up his voice and
• 17:09
  wept. So you could see here, friends,
• 17:16
  that this is emotional, but the things of God are set and final
• 17:21
  and rock solid. And we do not approach God out
• 17:25
  of emotion, friends. We approach God with the surety,
• 17:29
  with the finality of what his Word says.
• 17:33
  And every single word is yes and Amen in Christ Jesus. 39 And
• 17:39
  Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, your
• 17:44
  dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth and of the dew of
• 17:48
  heaven from above. 40 And by your sword shall you live, and
• 17:53
  shall serve your brother, And it shall come to pass, when you
• 17:57
  shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from
• 18:00
  off your neck. This is the nation of the
• 18:04
  Edomite's friends. And you can see here that they
• 18:09
  were in Petra, And you can see here that they were overtaken.
• 18:13
  And you can see here that finally God's Word prevails.
• 18:19
  And here Isaac is trying to give him some kind of blessing of
• 18:24
  some kind of military might. But in the end Jacob will have
• 18:28
  the upper hand. 41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the
• 18:33
  blessing where with his father blessed him.
• 18:36
  And Esau said in his heart, the days of mourning for my father
• 18:40
  at hand, and I will slay my brother Jacob.
• 18:43
  So he has a murderous heart. And he says, as soon as daddy
• 18:48
  dies, this brother of mine is done and finished and cooked. 42
• 18:57
  In the words of Esau, her elder son were told to Rebecca, and
• 19:02
  she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him,
• 19:06
  Behold, your brother Esau, as touching you, does comfort
• 19:09
  himself, purposing to kill you. That is how he was comforted,
• 19:14
  because he was premeditated in the murder of his brother, just
• 19:19
  as Cain did to Abel. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my
• 19:26
  voice, arise and flee to Laban, my brother to Haran.
• 19:31
  So here we can see that God's purposes are all going to come
• 19:36
  to fruition, and here this little trickster is going to be
• 19:41
  taught a lesson by Laban, the master of deception and striking
• 19:48
  deals. And it's all working out
• 19:50
  according to God's infinite wisdom and plan. 44 And tarry
• 19:59
  with him a few days until your brother's fury turn away.
• 20:03
  So she thought it was only going to be a few days, but this will
• 20:06
  be the last time that she ever sees her son. 45 Until your
• 20:13
  brother's anger turn away from you and he forget that which you
• 20:18
  have done to him, then I will send and fetch you from there.
• 20:22
  Why should I be deprived also of you both in one day?
• 20:26
  So she doesn't want to lose her husband and her son on the same
• 20:30
  day and then be trapped there with the madman Esau.
• 20:33
  And here you could see she's having to pay for her sins of
• 20:41
  outpacing God and thinking that she needed to secure something
• 20:44
  that God had already said would happen.
• 20:49
  We'll end on 46. And Rebecca said to Isaac, I'm
• 20:52
  weary of my life because of the daughters of hath.
• 20:55
  If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of hath such as these,
• 20:59
  which are of the daughters of the land, what good shall my
• 21:03
  life do me? She's trying to manipulate Isaac
• 21:07
  and saying we need to send Jacob off to to his uncle Laban
• 21:14
  because there he can find a wife for himself.
• 21:17
  They've already seen that Esau has taken wives for himself from
• 21:22
  the Philistines and they did not want that with the pollution of
• 21:26
  the messianic bloodline. What an amazing chapter this is
• 21:29
  in God's word. I pray that you've been blessed
• 21:32
  by it. I know I sure have.
• 21:34
  I'm praying for every single one of you.
• 21:38
  Get your nose in the book. Don't slack off.
• 21:42
  Don't slack up. If you get to a section and you
• 21:45
  don't understand it, just keep pushing, friends.
• 21:49
  The Holy Spirit will reveal to you truth, and it might be the
• 21:52
  6th or the 7th, the 8th, the 9th, the 10th or the 12th.
• 21:56
  Time before that Scripture comes alive and quickens within the
• 22:01
  inner man and it's see you see it fresh and new for the first
• 22:05
  time, even though you've read it 100 times.
• 22:08
  That's the way the Word of God works.
• 22:10
  I pray that you are blessed. I pray that you are loved.
• 22:17
  I pray that you are joyful. I love you.
• 22:23
  God loves you. We'll see you back here
• 22:25
  tomorrow. God bless you.
