The Servant
Text Genesis 24-26
Focus: Gen 24:2-8, 12-16, 24, 26, 27, 58, 67
We briefly mentioned “typology” in the last lesson. Typology is the study of the Bible in types. Typology is that many, if not all, of the stories in the Bible have a deeper Spiritual Truth. What we will see in this lesson is the picture in type of the “Bride of Christ”.
The Bible says:
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
There is no doubt of the loving relationship of Christ with His Church. The New Testament Church is the “Bride of Christ”.
Eph 5:1 Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children;
Eph 5:2 And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Just as in the Oriental wedding custom, at the engagement(betrothal), the Bride receives the promise of future blessings, WITH HER HUSBAND. The Church is the espoused Bride, awaiting her Husband’s return.
The second stage of the Oriental marriage was the wedding itself, when the Husband came to take the Bride to be with Him. (Rapture) The Church now waits for this to happen.
Jesus Christ said:
Joh 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Joh 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
and He told Paul to write these words:
1Th 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
1Th 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
The wedding feast would soon follow:
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
The Glory of the Millennial Kingdom would follow after this!
Paul said these things were a mystery:
Rom 16:25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Rom 16:26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:
Rom 16:27 To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.
Satan tries his best to hinder the truth of God’s Word:
2Co 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
2Co 4:5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.
The Church did not begin until the Pentecost after the resurrection of Christ but way back in the Book of the Beginnings we can get our first picture in “type” of the “Bride of Christ”.
As we study let’s see the picture of:
1.) Abraham a perfect “type” of Our Father in Heaven planning the wedding:
Mat 22:2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son,
2.) Isaac as perfect “type” of the Lord Jesus Christ. Offered up as a sacrifice.
Gen 22:2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
NT.)
Mat 27:22 Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
Mat 27:23 And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
He seeks a Bride and he is to inherit all his father has:
Gen 24:36 And Sarah my master’s wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Gen 24:37 And my master made me swear, saying, Thou shalt not take a wife to my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell:
Gen 24:38 But thou shalt go unto my father’s house, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son.
NT.)
Php 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
Php 2:10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
He loves his bride dearly:
Gen 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
NT.)
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
3.) The Servant as a perfect “type” of the Holy Spirit.
He went to Haran for one purpose. To take a bride for Isaac.
NT.)
Act 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Act 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls.
Act 2:42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.
This Servant gave all honor constantly to the father and the son.
NT.)
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
4.) Rebekah as a perfect “type” of the Church:
Before anyone can enter God’s Church, they must answer the question of the Father’s Servant:
Gen 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
NT.)
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Let’s keep these things in mind as we read this Love story of God after all as God told Noah, Go forth and multiply.
Rom 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, [even to him who is raised from the dead], that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
*****Our text:
Gen 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
Gen 24:3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
Gen 24:4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
Gen 24:5 And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
Gen 24:6 And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
Gen 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
Gen 24:8 And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
We first see this servant is to do the will of Abraham and he only. The practice of placing the hand under the thigh can be thought of somewhat like a handshake to seal this oath. We can also see that this servant had the power over everything Abraham owned. In “type” the Holy Spirit has the same power as the Father that is in Heaven.
1.) The Father is God but He is not the Holy Spirit and He is not Christ(The Son).
2.) The Holy Spirit is God but He is not the Father nor is He the Son.
3.) The Son(Christ) is God but He is not the Father nor is He the Holy Spirit.
Thus we have the triune God. Not three God’s, ONLY ONE, but in three persons!
Notice the realization of this truth in this passage:
Luk 3:21 Now when all the people were baptized, it came to pass, that [Jesus] also being baptized, and praying, the heaven was opened,
Luk 3:22 And [the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him], and [a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son]; in thee I am well pleased.
We have Christ Jesus, The Holy Spirit, and The voice of the Father in Heaven. One God in three persons.
At our level we should notice immediatly that as parents and even grandparents it is a good idea to be involved with the selections our children make for husbands and wives. Maybe not like Abraham but we should get involved at some level as we continuously see marriages fail. This all starts with respecting each other at home at an early age and living by God’s Word. We can also see that this will be a story of “faith”.
Abraham, Isaac’s father intended to insure the seed of Isaac would never mix with the Canaanite women.
Jas 4:4 says Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? [whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God].
Now in this chapter the name of this servant is not given but in earlier chapters it is said that his name is Eliezer. This name means “God’s helper”. You see even the name reveals him as a “type” of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not seek any recognition of His own but His only desire is to lead us to the Son. Eliezer is to lead a wife to Isaac. The Holy Spirit will only bring “glory” and “praise” and “honor” to the Son of God.
Joh 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, [he shall testify of me]:
Now this servant did not want to commit to an oath that could not be fulfilled so he ask:
“Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?”
The servant was pretty certain he could find a suitable woman but he didn’t know if she would follow him back to Isaac.
We then have Abraham’s answer:
“Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again”.
In other words this woman would have to act on faith.
Jesus Christ said to Thomas:
Joh 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: [blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed].
Abraham said God will send an angel to guide you to the right place. We can see the faith of Abraham again in this verse. Abraham showed how confident he was in the Word of God.
God ask the Church to have the same faith. The Church began after the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. It is our faith that will get us to Heaven. That’s why God wrote this next passage:
Heb 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
We can see that Abraham had this kind of faith.
Gal 3:6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
Gal 3:7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Gal 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
Gal 3:9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
Gal 3:14 [That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith].
If the Bride of Christ, the Church, is not willing to follow the Lord by the calling of the Holy Ghost then there will be no salvation promise of God. The promise will still be there but without faith in the promises of God there can be no Church.
As witnesses for Christ, the only thing we can do is tell others the story of Christ and most importantly, what Christ has done in our own lives. If this generation will not believe then we are clear of their blood come judgment time.
Joh 8:21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come.
Joh 8:23 And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.
Joh 8:24 I said therefore unto you, [that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins].
God warns sinners of the wrath to come that they may flee from it. Those who go promiscuously into the mouth of judgment, though they hear the warnings of God’s servants against the dangers of sin, have destroyed themselves.
That’s why at the rapture of the Church those that have heard and rejected the Word of God will not get another chance during the tribulation period.
2Th 2:8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
2Th 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; [because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved].
The Wicked One, the Anti-Christ, will be revealed after the rapture of the Church and we can see that those will perish, because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. There will be no last minute Christians that day of those that have heard the Gospel of Christ. The Gospel is the dynamite of God and only the Gospel can do what needs to be done if we faithfully tell others about Jesus Christ and Him Lord.
This servant of Abraham sware an oath to Abraham and The Holy Ghost will do just what God’s sends Him to do.
*****Our text:
Gen 24:12 And he said, O LORD God of my master Abraham, I pray thee, send me good speed this day, and shew kindness unto my master Abraham.
Gen 24:13 Behold, I stand here by the well of water; and the daughters of the men of the city come out to draw water:
Gen 24:14 And let it come to pass, that the damsel to whom I shall say, Let down thy pitcher, I pray thee, that I may drink; and she shall say, Drink, and I will give thy camels drink also: let the same be she that thou hast appointed for thy servant Isaac; and thereby shall I know that thou hast shewed kindness unto my master.
Gen 24:15 And it came to pass, before he had done speaking, that, behold, Rebekah came out, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, with her pitcher upon her shoulder.
Gen 24:16 And the damsel was very fair to look upon, a virgin, neither had any man known her: and she went down to the well, and filled her pitcher, and came up.
Verse ten is not part of the lesson but look at what it says. This servant while on this mission for Abraham had all the powers of Abraham.
“for all the goods of his master were in his hand’
There can be no clearer message in “type” that the Holy Spirit has all the powers of God because He is God. As this servant of Abraham could speak for Abraham. The Holy Spirit speaks for the Father.
What is the next thing we see. This servant baths his mission in prayer.
Just as this servant will intercede on behalf of Abraham, the Holy Ghost does intercede on behalf of each child of God:
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
As we reach out to the lost of our own generation we need to always bath our labor and work for the Lord with prayer. A soul winner is one that constantly prays. I know it seems that I can always put a prayer on the back burner but I am only hurting what I do for the Lord and for those closest to me. Prayer is our greatest weapon in this sinful world.
This servant had all the power of Abraham including his riches but he knew that prayer was his greatest asset. We need to learn this lesson well!
Pro 3:5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
Pro 3:6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Just so you know there is one more who does intercede for us:
Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, [who also maketh intercession for us].
Thank you Lord Jesus for praying for my salvation.
What’s the next thing we see?
This servant lays out his fleece. He seeks a sign of God’s response.
It is not irreverent to seek a sign of God but we must realize that we do not notice the signs of God around us most of the time.
1.) Every time a soul is saved, that’s a sign.
2.) Every time a saint of God is healed of a sickness, that’s a sign.
3.) Every time your own prayer is answered, that’s a sign.
4.) There are signs all around us and we seem to never give God the Glory for them.
Why should He show us anything?
But:
In the time of Gideon, He laid out a fleece to prove God and God answered.
Judges 6:37 – 40
Notice now, one of the fastest answered prayers in the Bible:
Verse 15: “before he had done speaking”
In order for this to happen Rebekah would have had to start her trip to the well in advance.
Though we cannot know how many times this happens in this way, God said it will happen more often in the future, especially during the Millennial years:
Isa 65:24 And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
You know God hears every prayer that is from the heart and He promises an answer to every prayer that reaches into Heaven:
Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, [What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them].
You know God heard and quickly answered this prayer. Rebekah came to the well. The Bible also says Rebekah was beautiful to look upon. This part was not in the prayer. There was no doubt that she was a “Virgin”.
Paul wrote:
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
Of course Paul was writing to the New Testament Church.
Notice: In verse 13 it is pointed out that the time of women to come out draw water is in the evening, in the cool of the day. These would be the the women recognized by the world to be the, let’s just say, the nice women of the city.
Now compare:
Joh 4:6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
Joh 4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
The sixth hour would be high noon, almost the hottest part of the day because women of ill repute by the world were still welcome to sit by the side of Jesus as He witnessed to them. Remember Jesus said:
Joh 4:4 And he must needs go through Samaria.
Just as Jesus knew what time this woman would be at the well in Samaria. The Holy Spirit knew what time Rebekah would be at the well in Mesopotamia.
Don’t you just love the word of God!
No doubt this servant is wide eyed with astonishment, with the quickness of God’s answer.
Verse 21: says the man wondering at her which means in the verse, “he was astonished”, “he was stunned” at the results of God’s prayer so quickly.
God is Great, ALL THE TIME!
Just so we know:
The Number Ten:
The Number ten is a perfect number that represents universality, which is the state of extending to the whole.
The Ten Commandments, The Tithe, The Ten Generations of the Book of Genesis, The Decalogue, The Ten plagues. The temple and the Tabernacle all have Ten in the prevailing measurements. Even these Ten camels have a meaning in this passage.
Note: Ten camels can easily drink 300 gallons of water. I’m sure they weren’t that thirsty this day of Rebekah but she surely made more than one trip to the well and we need to drink of the well of Jesus as often as we can!
Verse 22) The man took a golden earing and two bracelets to reward this wonderful answer to his prayer. She would still have to be verified.
“whose daughter art thou”
Her future hinged on that answer.
Our text:
Gen 24:24 And she said unto him, I am the daughter of Bethuel the son of Milcah, which she bare unto Nahor.
Gen 24:26 And the man bowed down his head, and worshipped the LORD.
Gen 24:27 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who hath not left destitute my master of his mercy and his truth: I being in the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master’s brethren.
Gen 24:58 And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go.
Gen 24:67 And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.
This servant of Abraham just realized that God’s angel had led him to the exact, right place.
Gen 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father’s house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; [he shall send his angel before thee], and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
God will never lead His Church down the wrong path:
Psa 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Psa 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
Psa 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
Psa 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Psa 73:27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.
Psa 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
I’m going to tell you once you realize God has answered your prayer, you are a poor servant if you do not immediately give Him the thanks He deserves. We need to thank Him just as much for unanswered prayer because we all know we have ask for things that would have hurt us in some way.
Psa 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
Psa 100:5 For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
You see it was Rebekah (in Type the Church) that was the chosen one for Isaac (in Type Jesus Christ).
The Bible says of the Church:
Eph 2:19 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
Eph 2:20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
Eph 2:21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
Eph 2:22 [In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit].
And Peter:
1Pe 2:10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
You see the servant was not to bring back all the family, only Rebekah. Jesus Christ will not be a “polygamist”. He will not marry multiple religions or many churches. He will only marry the Bride, The Gentile Bride, the one espoused to Him. There is only one Church. It consist of every believer on Christ Jesus in every so called religion.
The Bible says:
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 [That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish].
Again Paul wrote:
2Co 11:2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: [for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ].
There was really only one more question. There is a question we all have to answer before we can step into the wedding dress.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.
As Matthew Wrote:
Mat 10:32 [Whosoever] therefore shall confess me before men, him [will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven].
Luke Wrote:
Luk 12:8 Also I say unto you, [Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God]:
Paul wrote:
Php 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Luke again:
Act 8:37 And Philip said, [If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God].
Rebekah said “I WILL GO”
In the words of Jesus:
Luk 14:33 So likewise, [whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple].
Rebekah left her own home and her own family and without seeing Isaac to become his wife.
To be in the Church you will leave everything behind, and without ever have seen Christ to become the Bride.
The Apostle John wrote of John the Baptist:
Joh 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.
Joh 3:28 Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him.
Joh 3:29 [He that hath the bride is the bridegroom]: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.
When this servant had left it was Abraham whom was called Master. On his return it is Isaac that is call Master.
Jesus said:
Joh 13:3 Jesus knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God;
This wedding of the Church will take place just after the Rapture of the Church:
Rev 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Rev 19:9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
Are you going to be in the wedding?
Rebekah was not an unwilling pawn in this matter. She had a decision to make. Rebekah was acting with great faith and her faith would be rewarded. When Isaac finally met Rebekah they loved each other and Rebekah became Isaac’s ONLY WIFE. Isaac had a wife and the promises that God made to Abraham were secure for another generation.
What will you do when the Holy Ghost comes with His convicting message about Jesus Christ?
I know what I did. I love you Jesus.
Amen
