Two Dimensions Of God’s Nature (Four)
Jacob and Esau
(…continues from part three…)
4) Jehovah knew, before Adam was created that Esau would not be a trusted vessel. He knew that, as supplanting as Jacob would turn out to be, he is the good one to serve His divine purpose. The birth of these twin brothers is very crucial to God’s biggest business. One of them must receive the patriarchal baton for the fructification of Genesis 3:15 vaticination. God never goes into any business and loses because He, the LORD God, does not commit errors. This is the huge picture Bible readers fail to acknowledge: it is all about Jesus and the salvation of mankind. The right person must occupy the Israeli patriarchy that must produce the Saviour of the world: this is the biggest theological deal. The blessings of the first born, having been given to a manipulator, and ostensibly having the hand of God, what should a reasonable Esau do? Congratulate his twin brother, of course, for receiving favour of God. He should be ready to work with him to make things easy for the next in line of divine mission. But check the first thing Esau contemplated. “And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob” (Genesis 27:41).
Why would the Omniscience of Him choose another supporter of Lucifer, did Cain not do the similar evil? Methinks there dwelleth mutual love between Chef Esau and Father Isaac? How come this same Esau had to his collection of abominable feathers the revelation of Genesis 28:8-9? 8) “And Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan pleased not Isaac his father; 9) Then went Esau unto Ishmael, and took unto the wives which he had Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife.” Marriage to ungodliness is unacceptable; Esau married from Ishmael simply to spite Isaac, the man of God. The things God hates, He knew beforehand, Esau would love. God, ergo, hated Esau, an Antichrist ambassador of Lucifer.
Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver
Feeling disappointed in the future betrayal of Jesus by Judas Iscariot, and because God knew Judas would not be truly sorry and consequently ask for forgiveness, the Bible says, “While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled” (John 17:12). Technically, Judas Iscariot was not a true apostle; his probationary period proved him to be unworthy of apostleship for God’s business of His most guarded institution: the Church.
Anthropopathism is revealed in wrath as we read in Exodus 32:9-10 9) “And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10) Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.” Did they not witness the matchless power of God in the miraculous things He did to save them for Pharaoh’s slavery? How can one be so consumed in audacity and fail woefully to acknowledge that there is no way anyone will disrespect the Holy One of Israel, Who indubitably wields the unconquerable Omnipotence, is also the matchless Omniscience and is the unimaginable Omnipresence as well, and the offending idiot will go without punishment?
Anthropopathism and anthropomorphism of God.
Psalm 2:4 “He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.” Verse 5 “Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.” Verse 12 “Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.” He is not unfeeling, therefore, God laughs; He will deride your stupidity. He shows His wrath: ask Pharaoh and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah.
Revelation 15:7 “And one of the four beasts gave unto the seven angels seven golden vials full of the wrath of God, who liveth for ever and ever.” God will pour forth His divine wrath on the earth, during the three and a half years of the Tribulation, the second half of the Antichrist’s seven years of cosmos rule.
Jeremiah 31:3 “The LORD hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee.” How can you love without expressing it with something? It is for the very reason we have the microcosm of the entire Bible in one verse, found in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” He loves; therefore, He gives; showing that love is emotive. 1John 4:16 “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.”
Getting born again is strictly a conscious effort on the part of an individual. It is of a personal conviction that, as the word of God says, Jesus is truly the only Saviour of the world. A soteriological dependence on the finished work of Jesus is the sole belief requirement of Scripture. Get born again by saying 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!”
