1 | please explain verse | Heb 11:20 | BradK | 160094 | ||
Hi imforgiven, Let's look at the verse: "By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come." First, read the entire Chapter, 11 to gain the flow and context. Heb 11:1 states: "Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." You're referring to the account in Gen. 27:39-40. Heb. 11:20 actually tells us it was, "by faith." Isaac looked forward to the promise - "concerning things to come". In other words, he did not see the fulfillment of what he blessed Esau. He did it in faith- believing God, "Now may God give you of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And an abundance of grain and new wine;" (Gen. 27:26-29). As Heb. 11:39 tells us, "And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised." Ihope this answers your question:-) BradK |

2 | Esau AND Jacob?? | Heb 11:20 | imforgiven | 160121 | ||
Bear with me. Still confused! I see that by faith Isaac believed his descendants would be blessed. But he did not bless both Esau AND Jacob. Gen 27:38 "Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!" | ||||||
3 | Esau AND Jacob?? | Heb 11:20 | BradK | 160128 | ||
Hi imforgiven, Heb 11:20 is very clear and says both were: "By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come." It may depend on how you read it but... look at 27:39-40: "Then Isaac his father answered and said to him, "Behold, away from the fertility of the earth shall be your dwelling, And away from the dew of heaven from above. By your sword you shall live, And your brother you shall serve; But it shall come about when you become restless, That you will break his yoke from your neck." I hope this clarifies, BradK |
