Bible Question: WHY WAS JACOB ENTITLED TO THE COVENANT BLESSING IN GENESIS CHAPTER 25 THUR 35 |
Bible Answer: Because God chose him. It is an example of the mystery of election. Despite Jacob's cheating ways, God can bring good even from evil. See also the story of Joseph and his brothers especially Gen 45:4-8; Gen 48:12-19 and Gen 50:20. Re Jacob see Psalm 135:4; Psalm 47:4; Isaiah 41:8; Malachi 1:2; Romans 9:13. In the context of Malachi and Romans "hate" is Hebrew way of saying "loved less." It does not imply hate the way our usage of the word does. Emmaus |
