Pastor Martin Saine teaches on Genesis 27 Part II

THE FALLOUT of DECEPTION

Gen 27:30 Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob,
and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father,
that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Gen 27:31 He also had made savory food, and brought it to his father, and
said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that
your soul may bless me.”
Esau is operating under instructions:
Gen 27:1 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so
dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to
him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.”
Gen 27:2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of
my death.
Gen 27:3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your
bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.
Gen 27:4 And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that
I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.”
However, those instructions are in disobedience to God’s plan:
Gen 25:23 And the LORD said to her: “Two nations are in your womb,
Two peoples shall be separated from your body; One people shall be
stronger than the other, And the older shall serve the younger.”
The fallout for all the players will be severe! Isaac, Rebekah,
Jacob, and Esau will all have consequences for their actions,
despite the end results being God’s plan being fulfilled.
Gen 27:32 And his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” So he said, “I
am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Gen 27:33 Then Isaac trembled

exceedingly,
H2731
חרדה
chărâdâh
khar-aw-daw’
Feminine of H2730; fear, anxiety: – care, X exceedingly, fear, quaking, trembling.

Gen 27:33 Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who? Where is the
one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you
came, and I have blessed him—and indeed he shall be blessed.”
Gen 27:34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried (tsa aq- to
shriek) with an exceedingly great and bitter cry (tsa aquah-
shrieking, crying), and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my
father!”
Gen 27:35 But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away
your blessing.” Is Isaac in denial, or did he just tell this to Esau
to shift blame away from himself?
Gen 27:36 And Esau said, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has
supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now
look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not
reserved a blessing for me?”

Esau asserts that Jacob has taken
away what belongs to him two times; Once with the birthright,
next with the blessing. This is erroneous because they are one
and the same! The birthright comes with a double portion of
the inheritance, the blessing for future prosperity, leadership
of the family clan (tribe, etc.,) and authority.
Birthright is important!
Gen 25:27 So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but
Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.
Gen 25:28 And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Gen 25:29 Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was
weary.
Gen 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am
weary.” Therefore his name was called Edom.
Gen 25:31 But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
Gen 25:32 And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”
Gen 25:33 Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Gen 25:34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank,
arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

Result of Esau despising his birthright
Mal 1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
Mal 1:2 “I have loved you,” says the LORD. “Yet you say, ‘In what way have You loved
us?’ Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?” Says the LORD. “Yet Jacob I have loved;
Mal 1:3 But Esau I have hated, And laid waste his mountains and his heritage For the
jackals of the wilderness.”
Mal 1:4 Even though Edom has said, “We have been impoverished, But we will return
and build the desolate places,” Thus says the LORD of hosts: “They may build, but I
will throw down; They shall be called the Territory of Wickedness, And the people
against whom the LORD will have indignation forever.
Rom 9:1 I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me
witness in the Holy Spirit,
Rom 9:2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.
Rom 9:3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my
countrymen according to the flesh,
Rom 9:4 who are Israelites, to whom pertain the adoption, the glory, the covenants,
the giving of the law, the service of God, and the promises;
Rom 9:5 of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ came,
who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
Rom 9:6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all
Israel who are of Israel,
Rom 9:7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “IN
ISAAC YOUR SEED SHALL BE CALLED.”
Rom 9:8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of
God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed.
Rom 9:9 For this is the word of promise: “AT THIS TIME I WILL COME AND SARAH
SHALL HAVE A SON.”
Rom 9:10 And not only this, but when Rebecca also had conceived by one man, even
by our father Isaac
Rom 9:11 (for the children not yet being born, nor having done any good or evil, that
the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works but of Him who
calls),
Rom 9:12 it was said to her, “THE OLDER SHALL SERVE THE YOUNGER.”
Rom 9:13 As it is written, “JACOB I HAVE LOVED, BUT ESAU I HAVE HATED.”
Rom 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!
Rom 9:15 For He says to Moses, “I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOMEVER I WILL
HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOMEVER I WILL HAVE
COMPASSION.”
Rom 9:16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who
shows mercy.
Gen 25:34 And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Gen 27:37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Indeed I have made him
your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with
grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my
son?”
Gen 27:38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my
father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice
and wept.
Gen 27:39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: “Behold, your
dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven
from above.
Gen 27:40 By your sword you shall live, And you shall serve your brother;
And it shall come to pass, when you become restless, That you shall
break his yoke from your neck.”

Isaac’s blessing did not negate the blessing of Jacob to be Esau’s
master, nor the prosperity, authority, or blessing on his line.
In the future, the Edomites would become enemies of the
Israelites. There would be many wars and battles with
occasional times where Edom would throw off the oversight of
Israel, but the end would always be the same because they
warred against God, not man!

Gen 27:41 So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his
father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for
my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”

137 years old? (Died at 180) Days of mourning at hand. “Then” I will
kill my brother Jacob…
35:28- Isaac dies at 180
30:24-25- Joseph born 14 yrs after Jacob leaves Isaacs house
31:41- Jacob departs Labans house after 20 yrs service
41:46-47- Joseph 30 when he stood before pharaoh
45:6- Joseph 39 when he revealed himself to brothers
47:19- Jacob comes to Egypt when Joseph is 39. Jacob is 130 yrs
old.
Jacob would have been 91 when Joseph was born- 14 yrs after
leaving Isaac.

Jacob would have been 77 when he left Isaac.
Isaac was 60 when Jacob and Esau were born: add 77 yrs and it
appears Isaac was 137 at the blessing. Despite what both he
and Esau thought, Jacob would live another 43 years!
Esau’s plan to kill Jacob after his father’s death came with a 43
year cooling off period!!!

Gen 27:42 And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So
she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, “Surely your
brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.
Gen 27:43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother
Laban in Haran.
Gen 27:44 And stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns
away,
Gen 27:45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets
what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there.
Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?”

Rebekah feared for two things: 1) the murder of Jacob by Esau,
and 2) the Avenger of Blood who would deal with Esau
afterward! Rebekah saw both of her sons lives in the balance.

Gen 27:46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the
daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like
these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to
me?”

Still scheming! Rebekah didn’t tell Isaac of the murder
plot, or the plan to send Jacob away for “a few days”, or the
intent to send for him afterward. She appealed to Isaac on the
grounds of unauthorized and unwanted marriage with the
daughters of the people of their land. Isaac would know
something about this since Abraham had set the standards
with his son’s wife, Rebekah herself!
Have you ever heard the saying; “Make them think it’s their idea and
they’ll go along with anything you want!”

Gen 28:1 Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and
said to him: “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Gen 28:2 Arise, go to Padan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s
father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.
Gen 28:3 “May God Almighty bless you, And make you fruitful and
multiply you, That you may be an assembly of peoples;
Gen 28:4 And give you the blessing of Abraham, To you and your
descendants with you, That you may inherit the land In which you are a
stranger, Which God gave to Abraham.”
Gen 28:5 So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban
the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of
Jacob and Esau.
