For Power, Prestige, and Provision, Part One

Genesis 27: 1-10

1: Isaac calls for his son, Esau, his oldest son and favorite

2: Isaac is thinking of his age, 137

3 and 4: Isaac tells Esau to prepare a meal for him so that he can bless him

5: Rebekah heard the request and Esau went to prepare a meal. he was submissive because he was getting Isaac’s blessing.

6-9: Rebekah calls for Jacob and tells him of Isaac’s conversation and her plan.

10: Rebekah wants Jacob to get the blessing. Rebekah was asking Jacob to sin. He should’ve said no, respectfully.

No matter who Isaac blessed, God would have made His plan go the way He wanted it to.
