May 28th, 2021-Faith means having patience – They were married and Isaac was comforted after the death of his mother. Why would this 40 year old man need that? Why did she veil herself? Did it matter so much where his wife came from? There must have been good girls in the land of Canaan. Why is God so picky
with this?
Ishmael’s descendants lived in hostility with neighbours that happens to this day. The current trends to sympathize with occupiers of Israel’s land is demonic propaganda aimed at creating more hatred towards the nation of Israel. Regardless of which side you believe is right, bet your rear end that God is on Israel’s side and when the armies of the world assemble against them, we shall see Jesus and in some cases, we may be coming back with him.
Genesis 25-Isaac prayed and Rebekah got pregnant 20 years after marriage. Back in the day a woman wasn’t a real wife until she provided progeny. These matriarchs suffered tremendously despite how hot they were. It is a human weakness to focus on what we don’t have and this affects a lot of females in a way that eats at them quietly. We can guess that Isaac was praying all that time. He was being tested and didn’t waver because there is no mention of his looking elsewhere or getting anxious, he was steadfast and faithful. She had twins that feuded since the womb. Esau meant hairy, Jacob meant grasps the heel an idiom for their culture that means he who deceives. They literally named one kid hairy and the other deceiver!
