Assyrian captivity of the House of Israel 740- 721 B.C. (2 Kings 15:29, 17:3-40, 18:11-12). This dispersion continued until 1948. The Lord has promised to reunited them with the House of Judah in the last days. Throughout scripture find: 2 houses, 2 kingdoms, 2 sticks, 2 nations, 2 families, 2...

Jacob's dream about a ladder had two parts - the ladder itself, and God's promise about a seed. Both parts describe one another, and both parts are a prophecy about Jesus. Jesus was the ladder (John 1:50-51). Jesus was also the seed. Paul points out in Galatians 3:16 that this seed of Abraham...

We often hear such negative things about Rebekah - about how she persuaded Jacob to trick Isaac into giving him Esau's blessing. But Jehovah told Rebekah that Jacob was to rule over Esau. (Genesis 25:23.) I think she was actually being obedient to God, or at least believed that she was. Also...

No, not Daniel’s - Jacob’s 70 Weeks! I had this bought to my attention years ago when someone mentioned a repeating pattern of 490 years in the Old Testament. His dates were only approximate, but it seemed more than coincidental that three sets of ‘490’ fit nicely between Moses and Christ. I...

I randomly thought about Leah and Rachel the other day and how Jacob wanted Rachel so bad but instead God had mercy on Leah and he married Leah and she bore him sons. UI see a picture of God's grace and mercy on His people and then the grafted in Gentiles. I see a picture of God dealing with...

Jacob lied to Isaac twice, by claiming that he was his twin brother Esau, in order to receive the birthright blessing in Genesis 27:19-24. He did this under the instruction of his mother Rebecca in Genesis 27:6-13, who in turn was acting in accordance with the revelation from יהוה in Genesis...

Thousands of years ago, the Ezekiel recorded warnings and promises of God that are intended for our time, now! For most, Ezekiel’s message is a mystery, but you can understand God’s message for the modern world, through the prophet Ezekiel...

Early accounts of the Megalithic Religion can be found with the story of Jacob in the Book of Genesis (circa 1900 B.C.). http://thenephilimchronicles.blogspot.com/2015/06/mysteries-of-megaliths-revealed-in-bible.html
