Introduction
God promised descendants to Abraham by way of covenant
This promise continued through Isaac to Jacob and Esau
We see a great battle even within Rebecca’s womb
Esau vs Jacob
Seed of Satan vs Seed of the Woman ()
Kingdom of Satan vs Kingdom of God
Flesh vs Spirit
“A holy war is better that the peace of the Devil’s palace.”
- Matthew Henry
Romans 9???
The Person Does Not Preclude the Purpose
Jacob and Esau were opposites
Esau was a natural heir
Esau
strong
manly
mighty
alpha male
Jacob
quiet
reserved
plain
beta male
Esau was a darling of the world
“man of the field,” excellent hunter, manly in appearance, loved by his father
Isaac loved Esau because he provided earthly satisfaction
How often are we enamored by those that offer earthly satisfaction?
Jacob did not care about things of the world
“dwelt in tents,” learning from others, soft and meek in appearance, loved by his mother
Rebecca loved Jacob because she remembered God’s promise from verse 23
How often do we forget the promise of God?
The world would have chosen Esau as the one to carry on the promise
God often chooses the weak to fulfill His purpose
David was weakest and last of his brothers
Our Plans do not Help or Hinder God’s Purpose
Talk about Jacob’s manipulation and Esau’s hatred of God
How does God’s purpose of election make certain our hope of salvation?
Even when we run ahead of God His promise is true because of His purpose.
We cannot help or hinder His decree
