this movie
will help you understand
some of genesis
"jacob"
occurs 358 times in 332 verses in the KJV.
| Gen 25:26 |
And
after that came his brother out,
and his hand took hold on Esau's heel;
and his name was called Jacob:
and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
|
the birth of jacob
| Gen 37:2 |
These are the
generations of Jacob.
Joseph,
being seventeen years old,
was feeding the flock with his brethren;
and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah,
and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives:
and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.
|
Jacobs son Joseph
Now when
Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt,
Jacob said unto his sons,
Why do ye look one upon another?
|
Jacob as an older man
And
Jacob rose up from Beersheba:
and the sons of Israel carried Jacob their father,
and their little ones,
and their wives,
in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
|
Jacob going to joseph in Egypt
| Gen 48:2 |
And one told Jacob,
and said,
Behold,
thy son
Joseph
cometh unto thee:
and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
|
when you see
the sin and chaos
and dysfunction of Jacobs life and family
we can all relate
God is showing us our need for our Savior
the entire old testament
is getting the world ready for our Savior
| Luk 3:1 | ¶
Now
in the fifteenth year of the reign of
Tiberius Caesar,
Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod
being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and
Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene,
| |
 |  Luk 3:2 |
Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests,
the word of God
came unto
John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness.
|
| | Luk 3:3 |
And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins;
|
| | Luk 3:4 |
As it is
written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying,
The voice of one crying in the wilderness,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.
|
| | Luk 3:5 |
Every
valley shall be filled,
and every mountain and hill shall be brought low; and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways shall be made smooth;
|
| | Luk 3:6 |
And
all flesh shall see the salvation of God.
|
God does things
so that all the world will know
God waits for perfect timing
when all hope is gone
then we appreciate the blessing God has for us
