--Read Genesis 27-33--
And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old,
and his eyes were dim,
so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son,
and said unto him, My son:
Genesis 27:1
Summary-Isaac wants to bless his 1st born Esau. His mother Rebekah overhears and plots to send in her other son Jacob to steal the blessing. She disguises him with Esau's clothes & animal coverings on his hands for hair like Esau. Typology of Players:
Isaac - God the Father (who gives the blessing after an Investigative Judgment of his son)
Esau - Christ (the one we must appear like in the Fathers eyes so as to pass)
Rebekah - Holy Spirit (the one who guides us in what we must do)
Jacob - Us (we must be covered like Esau for our Judgment-covered in his garments)
Jacob (shifting to a type for Christ) then leaves to a foreign land to get his "Bride" (Church) and multiplies his "Flocks" (people)
Jacob returns to meet Esau.
Jacob sends out 3 Messengers to soften the heart of Esau. (3 Angel's Message's)
God Longs for the Esau's of the world to run to Him at His return
And Esau ran to meet him,
and embraced him,
and fell on his neck,
and kissed him:
and they wept.
Genesis 33:4
God "Dims His Eyes" so as to see Christ on you in your Judgment
