Genesis - 54 - Gen. 24:1-27 A BRIDE FOR THE SON OF PROMISE

In this lesson we study Genesis chapter 24, the longest chapter in Genesis.  It seems like something big is about to happen.  It is.  Abraham sends his servant, his servant who is un-named in chapter 24 (could Eliezer but it can’t be proven), and this servant goes in the name of his master, to find a bride for the father's most beloved son, Isaac, the child of promise.  Hmmm.  This sounds like something we know.  Is there some connection to Jesus?  Do these verses in chapter 24 testify of Jesus who is the Bridegroom, the Promised one, the only begotten, beloved son of the Father.  And, we are called His bride.  Oh yes!  Wait till you see.  There is a old Jewish saying, מַעֲשֵׂה אֲבוֹת סִימָן לַבָּנִים or transliterated, "Ma-ahsay Ahvot Ceenam Leh'Bahneem."  It means the events in the life of the fathers are signs or omens for the sons.  We will see that this is so true for chapter 24 as it also testifies of Jesus and us.  I mentioned in the podcast about Abraham, Jacob, Joshua, and Jesus all show up at one location.  It is the area of the ancient city of Shechem.  We see the promises of God to Abraham right in  front of our eyes at this location.  Abraham and Sarah – one couple.  From them comes Jacob, and his wives, Rachel and Leah, and his eleven sons.  So from one couple to one family.  Later Joshua shows up with all Israel at the same place.  One nation from the one family who are from the one couple.  Finally, the Promised One from the Father, from YHVH, Yahvay, His only begotten beloved son, shows up at the same place.  He is the promised “blessing” for all the nations, for Jew and Gentile, coming from the one couple, Abraham and Sarah.  This is an amazing study.  There are four video Bible studies, five minutes each, on this amazing study on the ancient city of Shechem.  Don't miss this.
