Show me what's hidden, Part 216

As we of the Leadership Team of Grace Message Church Ministries come unto you, being under the special endowment of the Rational Soul of Elohiym Himself; we must begin reminding you that Jacob was the center of the attraction in Laban’s household. Even among the men in Laban’s household; they must have been sitting back watching and asking what’s going to take place now among the claimed to be blessed household. Some may have been thinking, he works great and he’s blessed, no matter what he puts his hands to; but, he needs to get those two wives of his under control or they will be the death of him; he being ninety-one years of age or a little more; and Leah and her twin sister Rachel, they being only twenty-eight years of age. As if that’s not enough, they are tossing their handmaidens into the marriage beds; the men may have been thinking, we don’t know if we should be jealous of Jacob, or grieving on his behalf, understanding that Jacob, in the area of women, he was a little naïve; seeing he was about eighty-one years of age when he came into covenant with his first woman. Notwithstanding, Adonai was with Jacob, he stood in the birthright position in his father Isaac’s household, while having the blessing from his same father’s lineage. At the same time, what most people failed to realize. Jacob was also in the birthright position and having the blessing of Laban’s household; understanding that Jacob was the first son Laban attained, though Jacob was seventy-seven years of age when he came to Laban in Haran. This is proven when Jacob departed from Laban’s household; this fact, Laban’s son decreed in the 1st verse of the 31st chapter of the scroll of Genesis: when Jacob himself heard the declaring of Laban's sons, in which they declared with these words; Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory. Jacob behaved himself among his uncle Laban’s household, as a respectable firstborn son. In turning our focus on these two wives of Jacob’s; Leah was now in position of four sons and it changed not Jacob’s affection towards her at all; though he kept up with the part of his covenant which is apart of this rhema found in the 29th verse of the 22nd chapter of the scroll of Deuteronomy: the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver ‘in which Jacob gave Laban seven years of servitude’, and Leah shall be his wife; because Jacob hath humbled Leah, JACOB MAY NOT PUT HER AWAY ALL HIS DAYS. Even as he’s ordered not to in verses 13-19 of the 22nd chapter of the scroll of Deuteronomy; in these words; seeing that Leah was a virgin when Jacob laid with her: If any man ‘Jacob’ takes a wife ‘Leah’ and goes in to her and then scorns and hates her “as Jacob did with Leah-In the 31st verse of the 29th chapter of the scroll of Genesis’, and charges her [without cause] with shameful behavior and publicly defames her ‘in which Jacob did not do. He just hated Leah’, and says, ‘I took this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find in her evidence of virginity; in which Leah was a virgin when Jacob laid with her; the proof was on the sheets the next morning’. Then the young woman’s father and her mother shall get ‘the consummation sheets’ and bring out the evidence of her virginity ‘blood on the sheets, in which Laban was able to previde if Jacob would have placed a claim as this one’ the proof would have been before the elders of the city at the gate [where court is held]. The father of the young woman shall say to the elders, ‘I gave my daughter to this man as a wife’ Jacob did not chose Leah, so the words would have been correct; Laban’s decision was, he gave Jacob Leah, as is penned in the 26th verse of the 29th chapter of the scroll of Genesis, but he hates her and has turned against her ‘in which Jacob did, but kept her as his wife and laid with her continuously and provided for her; and behold, he has made baseless charges against her in which Jacob did not do’, saying, “I did not find in your daughter the evidence of her virginity.” But this is the evidence of my daughter’s virginity.’ And they shall spread out the garment before the elders of the city. Then the elders of that city shall take the man and reprimand him, and they shall fine him a hundred shekels of silver and give it to the father of the young woman, because he publicly defamed a virgin of Israel ‘none of these things happened, because Jacob was in Haran and not in Canaan and Abraham’s customs were far from there’. And Leah shall remain Jacob’s wife; Jacob is not allowed to divorce Leah as long as he lives ‘so Leah was kept’. Now Rachel; she having Jacob’s love from the start, jealousy set in because of what was taking place with her eldest twin sister who was married to Jacob first; her sister producing seeds as if she was a very fertile tree in the garden. While Rachel, the beloved seemed cursed; yet having Jacob’s love, Selah!!! Rachel makes her situation worse, she threw Bilhah in the ring and a slave girl was more prosperous in unity with Jacob than she was; which must have been a big slap in the face for Rachel; though she played it off as Bilhah was fighting her sibling rivalry; but Bilhah was not compensated for her service, as in giving her, her freedom. As the heat of the sibling rivalry is turned up to 550 degrees, Leah again conceived and bare Jacob in those days two more sons and one daughter ‘this daughter is a symbolic resemblance of, I rejuvenated my youth, and these are their names, Issachar, Zebulon, and their sister Dinah. Guess what; Rachel was still barren in those days, and she finally came to her senses, that’s when she prayed at that time to Adonai, Jacob’s Elohiym; for the first time, and she said, O Adonai my husband’s Elohiym remember me and visit me, I beg thee!!! She said to Adonai, if I do not bear seed, my husband will cast me off, for I have borne him no children; not even a daughter, yet alone a son. She continued praying and her words were, now O Adonai, my Husband Elohiym, hear my ‘private closet’ supplication before Thee, and see my affliction ‘which was a most disgraceful reproach among married women, and give me children like one of the handmaids, that I may no more bear my reproach. Even when Elisabeth conceived in verses 24-25 of the 1st chapter of the scroll of Luke: Elisabeth said, thus hath kýrios dealt with me in the days wherein He looked on me, to take away my reproach among men. Yes, it was a very disgraceful thing among women, if a wife could not give her husband a seed. This is why the Bible reveals that Michal, King David’s wife, she died not having any children for David, because she betrayed her husband; Selah!!! Then, Elohiym heard Rachel and opened her womb, and Rachel conceived and bare a son, and she said, Adonai, my husband’s Elohiym, He has taken away my reproach, and she called his name Joseph, saying, May Adonai, my husband’s Elohiym add to me another son; and Jacob was ninety-one years old when she bare him, and Rachel was twenty-eight. At that time Jacob's mother, Rebecca, sent her nurse Deborah the daughter of Uz, and two of Isaac's servants unto Jacob. Yes, after Rachel had conceived, which was the right time for Rachel to become acquainted with whom she will be replacing for a short period of time in her journey towards Canaan while Leah will make it all the way there. Stay tuned to the next food for thought and see what takes place; for enough has been said to make you go hmm!!!! We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s Adonai’s will, until then, sayonara!!!!
