Rebekah: “Two nations are in thy womb” (Genesis 25:23).

(…continues from part 6…)

7)            Of Rebekah, the wife of Isaac, who was barren for twenty years and for whom her husband prayed to God, and she conceived it is written, “And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23) And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger” (Genesis 25:22-23). Needing answers to her unusual predicament, Rebekah had no choice but ‘to resort to, seek with care, require – by following after the LORD – and by implication, in worship’: for these are the definitions of the Hebrew dârash (daw-rash’) for ‘enquire’. At the appointed time of delivery it reads in Genesis 25:24 “And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb” serving as the veridicality of the ‘two nations’ vaticination. God did truly speak to Adamic elevation.

Young David anointed to be the next king of Israel.

                Elevation of the fallen progenies of Adam leads to the re-establishment of divine rapport. David heard unequivocally from the Divinity. 1Samuel 23:9-12 “And David knew that Saul secretly practised mischief against him; and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring hither the ephod. 10) Then said David, O LORD God of Israel, thy servant hath certainly heard that Saul seeketh to come to Keilah, to destroy the city for my sake. 11) Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his hand? will Saul come down, as thy servant hath heard? O LORD God of Israel, I beseech thee, tell thy servant. And the LORD said, He will come down. 12) Then said David, Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul? And the LORD said, They will deliver thee up.”

“…wilt thou deliver them into mine hand” (2Samuel 5:19)?

                Twice David enquired of the Lord and twice the good LORD answered him, having elevated Adam to the gregarious status with the Divinity. 2Samuel 2:1 “And it came to pass after this, that David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah? And the LORD said unto him, Go up. And David said, Whither shall I go up? And he said, Unto Hebron.” The only reason for David to make verbal connectivity with the LORD God is because he knew how that the God of Israel had spoken to His firstborn at Mount Sinai. He had seen how Jehovah had communed with Israel through Samuel, the High Priest, Prophet and Judge of the people of God. David believed in this God, Who had taken care of him in every way. God knows those whose hearts are with Him; and to them He had always been graciously available, to show forth the praises of Him Who has called us out of the darkness of Luciferian Satanism. David’s enquiries were always direct. God never tried to beat about the bush as if He had no knowledge of the desire of the petitioner; God had always been specifically forthright in His conversational rapport. A rapprochement is the resultant effect when God elevated Adam.

“…going in the tops of the mulberry trees”

                2Samuel 5:17-25 “But when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines came up to seek David; and David heard of it, and went down to the hold. 18) The Philistines also came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 19) And David enquired of the LORD, saying, Shall I go up to the Philistines? wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the LORD said unto David, Go up: for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into thine hand. 20) And David came to Baalperazim, and David smote them there, and said, The LORD hath broken forth upon mine enemies before me, as the breach of waters. Therefore he called the name of that place Baalperazim. 21) And there they left their images, and David and his men burned them. 22) And the Philistines came up yet again, and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim. 23) And when David enquired of the LORD, he said, Thou shalt not go up; but fetch a compass behind them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees. 24) And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. 25) And David did so, as the LORD had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer.”

                Spiritual acquittal and discharge takes place only when one is born again. To be born again, say, with all your heart, this simple prayer:

“Dear heavenly Father, I come to You now in the name of Jesus Christ. I believe in my heart that Jesus is the Son of God. I believe that Jesus died on the cross for my sin. I believe that You raised Him from the dead. I confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and I receive Him now as my Lord and my Saviour. I give God all the glory. Amen!”
