Genesis 27 New King James Version (NKJV)
Isaac Blesses Jacob

27 Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.”
And he answered him, “Here I am.”
2 Then he said, “Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death. 3 Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. 4 And make me [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post.

5 Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it. 6 So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying, 7 ‘Bring me game and make [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of the Lord before my death.’ 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you. 9 Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves. 10 Then you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.”
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man. 12 Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse on myself and not a blessing.”
13 But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.” 14 And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]savory food, such as his father loved. 15 Then Rebekah took the choice clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son. 16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck. 17 Then she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
18 So he went to his father and said, “My father.”
And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
19 Jacob said to his father, “I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you told me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.”
20 But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?”
And he said, “Because the Lord your God brought it to me.”
21 Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.” 22 So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.” 23 And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.
24 Then he said, “Are you really my son Esau?”
He said, “I am.
25 He said, “Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, so that my soul may bless you.” So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank. 26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near now and kiss me, my son.” 27 And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said:
“Surely, the smell of my son
Is like the smell of a field
Which the Lord has blessed.
28 Therefore may God give you
Of the dew of heaven,
Of the fatness of the earth,
And plenty of grain and wine.
29 Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother’s sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
Esau’s Lost Hope
30 Now it happened, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 31 He also had made [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, “Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that your soul may bless me.”
32 And his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?”
So he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
33 Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him—and indeed he shall be blessed.”
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”
35 But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
36 And Esau said, “Is he not rightly named [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!” And he said, “Have you not reserved a blessing for me?”
37 Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”
38 And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
39 Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:
“Behold, your dwelling shall be of the [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.
40 By your sword you shall live,
And you shall serve your brother;
And it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
Jacob Escapes from Esau
41 So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
42 And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, “Surely your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you. 43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban in Haran. 44 And stay with him a few days, until your brother’s fury turns away, 45 until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?”
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”

Lets Us analyse. Esau was a professional skilled hunter. kung baga dapat mas mabilis pa sana dapat nakapagoffer ng food si Esau kesa kay Jacob. pero bakit kaya naunahan pa siya ni Jacob? partida pa una pa nasabahin ni Isaac si Esau.

let us brainstorm. ano kaya nangyari kay Esau nung panahon na yun?
1. naging compante na siya about his first born right blessing kaya hindi niya nagawa yung pag hunting niya na 100 percent. kaya medyo mabagal siya nakapag hunt?
2. hindi ba siya kagad nag hunt na distract siya? like for example i hambing natin sa panahon natin. nag facebook ba siya muna bago sumunod sa utos?
3. ano kayang klase animal hinunt niya? si Jacob kasi goat ang hinunt. siya kaya ano hinunt niya? hindi kasi nakasulat sa bible.

brainstorm naman tayo kay Jacob. ano kaya nangyari sa kanya nung panahon na yun? bakit niya naunahan yung kuya niya na napakagaling mag hunt?
1. kahit hindi siya professional hunter. ginawa naman niya best niya na mag hunt. kumbaga 100 percent kaya mabilis niya ginawa.
2. yung focus niya dun sa pag hunt. hindi siya na distract. example sa panahon natin hindi siya nag facebook.
3. nag hunt siya ng Goat. kahit naman mabagal alng tumakbo goat kung hindi ka skilled hunter mahirap pa rin yun. pero yun nga ginawa niya 100 percent yung task and with urgency.

so ano moral lesson dito guys?
Let us give our 100 percent to God. 99.9 percent obedience is not acceptable. we should do everything for the glory of God para assured tayo sa Salvation niya. and we should do it out of love and sense of urgency.

and diba na blessed na si Jacob over Esau hindi na ma reverse yung blessing na ginawa ni Isaac.

balik tayo sa days of creation.

And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made. Genesis 2:3

God the Father and ths Son. nagkasunduan kumbaga Covenant . blessed and sanctified. and rested.
nung nagbigay rin siya sa Israel which is the Old Covenant kasama rin yun
saatin na New Covenant shempre kasama rin kasi Ang Batas ng Diyos are perfect
Psalm 19:7-10 New King James Version (NKJV)
7 The law of the Lord is perfect, [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]converting the soul;
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;
8 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;
9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever;
The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.
10 More to be desired are they than gold,
Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the [You do not have permission to view the full content of this post. Log in or register now.]honeycomb.

the Commandments without a 7th Sabbath rest. is not a remembrance from God. and kung pinalitan yung Law. edi hindi na Perfect yung Law. :)
