WHAT JESUS SAID IN THE BIBLE

GENESIS  CHAPTER  32 32:28 Both names are applied to the nation descended from Jacob. When used characteristically "Jacob" is the name for the natural posterity of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; "Israel" for the spiritual part of the nation. Isaiah  9:8.  The "word" was sent to all the people. "Jacob," but it "lighted upon Israel" was comprehended by the spiritual part of the people. See "Israel" ( GENESIS  12:2__3;  ROMANS  11:26 ). GENESIS  CHAPTER  29 29:1 Jacob at Haran becomes a striking illustration, if not type, of the nation descended from him in its present long dispersion. Like Israel, he was:  ( 1 ). Out of the place of blessing ( GENESIS  26:3 );  ( 2 ). without an alter ( HOSEA  3:4__5 );  ( 3 ). gained an evil name ( GENESIS  31:1;  ROMANS  2:17__24 );  ( 4 ). but was under the covenant care of Jehovah ( GENESIS  28:13__14;  ROMANS  11:1;  25:30 );  ( 5 ). and was ultimately brought back ( GENESIS  31:3;  35:

GENESIS  CHAPTER  25 25:1 As Sarah stands for "the mother of us all," of those who by grace, are one with the true Son of promise, of whom Isaac was the type ( JOHN  3:6__8;  GALATIANS  4:26,  28__29 - HEBREWS  2:11__13 ); and joint heirs of His wealth ( HEBREWS  1:2;  ROMANS  8:16__17 ), so Keturah ( wedded after the full blessing of Isaac ) and her children by Abraham may well stand for the fertility of Israel and natural seed, Jehovah's wife ( HOSEA  2:1__23 ) after the future national restoration under the Palestinian covenant ( DEUTERONOMY  30:1__9 ). 25:25 Esau stands for the mere man of the earth ( HEBREWS  12:16__17 ). In many respects a noble man, naturally, than Jacob, he was destitute of faith, and despised the birthright because it was a spiritual thing, of value only as there was faith to apprehend it. 25:31 The "birthright" had three elements:  ( 1 ) Until the establishment of the Aaronic priesthood the head of the family exercised priestl

GENESIS  CHAPTER  24 24:1 The entire chapter is highly typical:  ( 1 )  Abraham, type of a certain king who would make a marriage for his son ( MATTHEW  22:2;  JOHN  6:44 );  ( 2 )  the unnamed servant, type of the Holy Spirit, who does not "speak for himself," but takes of the things of the Bridegroom with which to win the bride ( JOHN  16:13__14 );  ( 3 ) the servant, type of the Spirit as enriching the bride with the Bridegroom's gifts ( GALATIANS  5:22;  1  CORINTHIANS  12:7__11 );  ( 4 )  the servant, type of the Spirit as bringing the bride to the meeting with the Bridegroom ( ACTS  13:4;  16:6__7 );  ( 5 ) Rebekah, type of  Church, the ecclesia, the "called out" virgin bride of Christ ( GENESIS  24:16;  2  CORINTHIANS  11:2 );  ( 6 ) Isaac, type of the Bridegroom, "whom not having seen," the bride loves through the testimony of the unnamed Servant ( 1  PETER  1:8 );  ( 7 )  Issac, type of the Bridegroom who goes out to meet and receive His b

GENESIS CHAPTER 23 23:4 Genesis 33:19;  Joshua  24:3;  Acts  7:15__16. A discrepancy in these statements has been fancied. It disappears entirely before the natural supposition that in the interval of about eighty years between the purchase by Abraham of the family sepulchre ( GENESIS  23:4__20 ) and Jacob's purchase ( GENESIS  33:19 ), the descendants of Hamor ( or "Emmor," ACTS  7:15__16 ) had resumed possession of the field in which the burial-cave was situated. Instead of asserting an ancient title by inheritance, Jacob repurchased the field. Heth was the common ancestor.
