Less is written of Isaac, though much of Abraham. Of what Abraham I cherished most, was his pleading from God for the mercy of the innocent blood in Sodom and Gomorrah. Both Issac and Abraham had the flaw of passing of their wives as their sisters in fear of their own life, and this brought suffering to those who were innocent in pressing them, ignorant of the women having had husbands. But it was God choice to bless them, though they didn’t quite understand, as Christ spoke about not only fornication, but especially adultery.

Esau I can’t help but feel sorry for. Maybe their is more to whether a person becomes more attached to his mother or father than simple psychology? As I have already said Isaac preferred Esau as I’m sure Esau preferred him, as Jacob preferred his mother, and his mother him. Is it in this we conclude Rebekah as the Queen of the Jewish lineage after Abraham?

Isaac says to Esau after Jacob falsely stole his blessing, ‘Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above; And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.’

This ‘breaking of the yoke’ is awesome, and reminds me of Christ words of the truth setting us free. It seems as though all rejected from God’s ‘Hebrew lineage’, find peace somehow and somewhere else, from Cain, Ishmael, and Esau.

And your point is…??
 
The breaking of the yoke, in my thoughts, was when Edom was placed in the same Roman Territory as Judah and Samaria. King Herod, an Edomite, was the “ruler” over this territory. Yes, we all know it was Rome who pulled the strings, but Herod did have a bit of leeway in his actions agains Israel.

In this way, Esau (who’s descendents found Edom) broke the yoke of Jacob (who’s descendents were Israel) and ruled over them.
 
All of you who think you have the scriptures figured out, with all the ranking and categorizing and judging and sorting, are prime examples to what Christ was calling the Pharisees. I’m glad I know nothing, at least than I might leave this world in peace just as innocent as the babe that entered it, unlike all of you who think they know everything and will surely be thrown in the ringer for it.

Clovis,

I am not familiar with you or your posts, but was surprised by the uncharitable tone with which you post here. Perhaps I have missed something, but I would like to ask you on behalf of everyone who visits the CAF to please change the approach you are using. It will only bear sour fruit, which is of no use to God or anyone.

Peace be with you,

Kelly

I apologize.*

This journey of faith is a marathon; not a sprint! Hang in there! 👍 To be human is to be irritated. It is what we do with that irritation that really matters.🙂
