Israel loves his son so much, he gives him a coat, like a family coat; something you would give a first-born. Joseph was the first-born of Rachel. This display of favoritism to one son caused a wild degree of resentment and jealousy. Do you think this is the kind of jealousy that Yahweh will provoke in Judah, as we see in Romans 11:11?
Jacob is Blessed, but doesn’t seem to spend much time with Yahweh like our mentor Abraham, much like the Bride of Messiah of today. We see that he is full of fear. So Yahweh meets with him, wrestles all night, spends all this time working out his fears of the world and worldly desires. We see a great change in Jacob; from this point on He is Israel!! It seems this change is from the letter to the Spirit, as it is becoming in You!
This study shows us life in Yeshua, the Mayim Chaim. It also shows the deceit and the control of the worldly items in our hearts. The fear of man and of the world systems causes us to do some foolish things as we see Jacob/Yakov doing. Yahweh made a mighty covenant with him, the same one He made with his fathers. This is the same covenant he made with you today, because of the covenant through the seed of Abraham, Yeshua. I pray we walk in His obedience, which brings authority in your life. Let these examples in Torah encourage you to know Him in a way you have never known before.
These are the generations, descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; but these are also the Generations of Abraham & his Seed, Yeshua/Jesus, and you. All of this is from the Covenant that has been renewed from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and then again in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:8-12. These are the Generations of His Love and Compassion for His Bride, through the redemption of the Son-ship and the Spirit of Adoption. Praise His Name that you can be grafted into His genealogy. This study can show us how we can choose the right birthright, the right kingdom, and how to serve the right God. We also learn how to live from the wells that give living water, that give life and give it more abundantly!
We see this portion is called The Life of Sarah, but it is about her death and burial. Two chapters later Abraham passes, but his is a completion to the flesh LIFE. As descendants of Abraham and Sarah, (Galatians 3) we have inherited their spiritual DNA. Notice in Genesis 25:7“And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: a hundred and seventy-five years.” This Torah portion compares Days to Years and tells us that the average person's growth is measured in years; but Abraham's life could be measured in DAYS. Every moment of his life was inspired with Yahweh. Is the clock ticking?? Can Abraham’s example inspire us to do the same?
A great in- A great in-depth study of our nature, character and rebellion depth study of our nature, character and rebellion. Take this one to heart, can you work Take this one to heart, can you work with one another, are you part of the Yeshua Code, with one another, are you part of the Yeshua Code, the Yeshua factor, to “Be One”??
