Jacob obeyed his parents while Esau did not and brought home wives who worshipped false gods. That’s ultimately what the story comes down to. God foreseen Esau’s decision making and he had terrible judgement.

Esau just happened to be Issac’s favorite because of his talent for hunting which is normal for a father. But Issac did not look at Esau’s character as God did.

I stumbled across your channel a few nights ago and I haven't stopped catching up. Really good channel ya got here man. Keep it up

I think esau giving up his birthright was a way of the prophecy fulfilling itself

[KamiTenchi]

Jacob and Esau is one of my favourite historical story in the old testament.

[AyubuKK]

I think the very idea of painting either Jacob or Esau to be “good and evil” is completely ridiculous. After all, they’re still brothers. Tbh, I always saw the two of them just having a sibling rivalry.

[Cheyglover]

Esau wasn’t abt to “die” from starvation. He was home and could’ve eaten anything else. He didn’t CARE abt the birthright he just wanted the blessing. That’s why he sold it so cheap! Jacob knew this obviously.

[ManoloNYC]

As someone who starting reading the bible, who doesn't know how the brothers evolve. I find Jacob to be the "bad" brother. What type of brother would let their sibling starve to death in exchange for compensation. Didn't Jacob trick his father; with his mother's help; into believing he was Esau in order to receive his blessing? Since Esau sold his birthright wouldn't that make Jacob first born and Esau destined to rule? Couldn't this treacherous act by Jacob have led Esau to become evil as I'm told he becomes? Seems to me Jacob has an "anything to get a head" mentality that's frowned upon now a days. I look forward to seeing how all this plays out.

God "saw" the end from the beginning. He would have said ordained or decided if that was what he had meant. We have free will and just because God knows the future doesn't necessarily mean that he's getting involved other than letting them know what will happen. Chosen is the one that God has already seen prevail in the future. God blesses and protects but the battle is remember John 14:6

Fantastic explanation :-) Easy to understand and you have a nice (non-annoying voice). Well done indeed and God bless. Thank you for sharing your gifts. X

You should do a video on the 144, 000 and the 2 witnesses

[kimeraclan]

Esau could be seen as a return to the nomadic hunting lifestyle, while Jacob is the sedentary hearthfire way of living. I'd argue that the situation was the opposite, wherein Esau was the introvert, living away from people, while Jacob was the extroverted homemaker.

You just love to see TBOI lore community prospering like this

[hihi-nmuy]

Esau got swindled hard here, and yet I find it super funny that people twist it to the max in order to justify Jacob’s actions.
It’s like if a woman got robbed, and then someone says it’s because she was wearing rich and revealing clothes.

[thereaper]

Jacob wrestled with an angel is the most cinematic thing that I can imagine in the story.

[GenuineLhachwen]

I heard a theory that when Esau came for the stew from Jacob his hunt was actually the killing of Nimrod; therefore Esau was literally fearing for his life & figured he was already dead considering whom he had killed. Esau's thought selling his birthright was a non-issue since he figured his life was forfeit anyway considering whom he had hunted. So what was selling his birthright for some stew in the such a situation?

[Wade]

This is a wonderful presentation. Thank you!

Great video admin...I'm a Zulu from South Africa and if twins are born we say the one born first is younger, the last to come out of the womb is Older twin...to leave the womb you are given permission by your twin..therefore he is older 😅

[tuskersmuguro]

Everything is spiritual for me. The fight perhaps had began in the spirit world thus God witnessed the outcome and made his judgement before it manifested in the physical realm.

[natelincoln]

He could have waited a little longer. He wasn’t going to die from hunger in 5 minutes lol. Just wait till his brother had to go pee then get the stew.

[Manuel-guls]

None of what the 2 had experienced what I experienced and I have the best childhood of my life and gained the blessings that’s doubled my happiness unlike my other siblings
