  • Markus Flaig on Genesis 27 - 11 years ago
    Only the firstborn can receive the blessing of the firstborn. Therefore, in order to receive the blessing, Jacob first had to become the firstborn; just as we have to become one with Jesus, the �firstborn of all creature�, in order to become part of his kingdom. By �transforming� Jacob into the firstborn Esau, Rebecca does exactly the one thing that is needed, so God�s word can be fulfilled! It is NOT by means of deception that Jacob receives the blessing, because by virtue of the prophecy Rebecca received before the twins were born, Jacob IS the firstborn!
