Subject: Why Esau not got his blessing back? |
Bible Note: Wos, thanks for your insight. Your view is very agreeable. Matthew Henry's speculation (or inspiration) is also agreeable. Knowing God had planned (foretold) Rebekah that the younger will rule the elder, I cannot help asking these questions: Rebekah could not possibly forget about God's revelation, right? She could have persuaded or reminded Issac of the revelation, not? Instead, she conspired with Jacob and carried out the plot cheating Issac and Esau. Since it was God's plan to bless Jacob vice Esau, is it okay to approve these actions? Another word can we justify breaking some laws for good causes? Your thoughts? iktoose |
