How Yahweh relates with his creations (series 36)

Bible Texts (Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Genesis chapter 36)

Hello my beloved blog readers. You are welcome to the month of October 2022. It is my joy that my messages through this medium clocks a year in this month. I thank Yahweh for giving me the opportunity to do this. I do hope you have been blessed with these messages.

Last week blog ended in joy mood when Jacob met with his father, Isaac. It was also a happy end for Isaac because he died seeing his two sons united. Isaac dies at an old age of 180. 

In this week, a new leaf was turned on Isaac children's lives.  Both of them waxed great and the space of land they both occupied could no longer contain them.  He had to depart from Jacob after the death of Isaac.  Therefore, Esau moved all his belongings to the hill country of Seir  ahead of the city Jacob resided. That place is later known as Edom.

Genesis chapter 36 discusses genealogy of Esau. Esau had a few wives with so many children. In verse 12, one name stands out. His name was Amalek!  This son was born to Timna who was one of the concubines (side chicks) of Esau's son known as Eliphaz. Does Amalek name rings a bell to your ears? Oh yes.  In case you do not know this name before, this is the same name that gave the children of Israel troubles.  Amalek grew to be a great nation. In future, this name will come up again a couple of times. Meanwhile, Esau had many dukes among his children. The rest of chapter 36 discusses the rest of the lineage of Esau.

In conclusion, Yahweh has plans for everyone. In relative sense, Esau appeared to have a well established kingdom but nothing was feasible yet for Jacob. However, Yahweh soon began to walk Jacob into it but it would take gradual process. This process is not the way Jacob expected but eventually he discovered that Yahweh's ways are not our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).

Next week blog promises to unleash the journey embarked upon by one of Jacob's favorite sons. However, leave your comments and questions at the chatting/texting portion of this blog by scrolling downward.

Have a wonderful week ahead.

Shalom!

    Sometimes we blame God for not performing His miracles in time.. We sometimes overlook His promises, His covenant. Thank God Jacob didn't compromised... Even at his brother's prosperity... He proceeded further... God will give us grace to stand the test of time... Bless you sir!

    The first time Amalek was mentioned in the scripture. I never knew that he was indirectly related to Jacob. I mean, Israel. Interesting.

  The bright face     How Yahweh relates with his creations (series 86) Bible Texts ( Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Exodus chapter 34) Being in the presence of Elohim Yahweh is what anyone should crave for. Moses experienced the splendor and unexplainable deluge of Yahweh's glory as he saw the back of Yahweh while he was kept in the crevice of a Rock. Moses basked in the glory of Yahweh and this experience was something Moses would never forget in his life. Well, in this week bible chapter, Moses got another chance to experience Yahweh's glory. He was asked by Yahweh to cut two tablets and come to meet with him on Mount Sinai to re-write the Ten Commandments. Yahweh cautioned Moses that no one else should approach the Mountain but only him.   It would be a private meeting between Yahweh and Moses. I could imagine Moses was very excited at this opportunity. Of course, Yah

He continued to champion the work Yahweh instructed Moses to tell the people of Israel to do. This great craftsman wrought many great work which include but not limited to the coffer of Acacia boards which were overlaid with pure gold.  He made the proprietary shelter of pure gold. He made two Cherubim as he fastened them to the proprietary shelter. Each of these Cherubim (with their wings) faced one another. He made lamp stand of gold, snuffers and the lamp stand fire pans. He made the holy anointing oil and incense of pure spices. He created all these among other things wit

How Yahweh relates with his creations (series 87) Bible Texts ( Concordant Version of the Old Testament and Concordant Literal New Testament with keywords Concordance (Main text: Exodus chapter 35 and 36) Have you ever heard that an idle hand is the devil's workshop? The two chapters I am looking at this week focus on how Yahweh got the children of Israel busy. After all incidences that happened in Exodus chapter 34, Yahweh began to instruct Moses on how the Terbanacle project would be executed in chapter 35. He also informed Moses to tell the people of Israel on whom to do what. This shows that Yahweh knows the heart of people. He has chosen particular people to preside on certain task(s). He chose Aaron as the Chief Priest. He also chose Bezalel from the tribe of Judah and
