promise of national greatness. for
his posterity should be as the
dust Of the earth in multitude and
outspreading in their influence to
to the four quarters Of the globe.
The third was the promise of
earthwide blessing through him
and his descendants, especially as
fulfilled in the Messiah. The 4th
was the promise Of personal pro-
lection on his long journey. The
last was the promise of safe re-
turn in due time to his old home.
No wonder that the senses of
Jacob were so overcome with the
glory that doomed up before him
that he was aroused from his
slumber and filled with reverent-
ial awe because of the nearness of
God.

JACOBS VISION OF GOD
Genesis 27-28

Infirm and blind, Isaac at 1877
years Of age determined to bestow
the patriarchal blessing upon his
favorite son, Esau, then n years
Of age. Overlooking the proposal
Rebekah contemplated in order
that her favorite son, Jacob, might
win the coveted benediction in
stead Of his twin brother. The
deception involved in her plan was
unjustifiable but it was turned in
70 the current Of the divine pur-
pose and 30 was overruled for
the good of the millions yet to he.
However, the promoters Of the
scheme had to suffer the penalty
Of separation and exile. The an
ger Of Esau threatened the life Of
Jacob and there was safety only
In a wide and long separation. So
Jacob in the vigor of his manhood
set out with the blessing Of his
parents toward Haran, the home
Of Rehekah's kindred and once the
residence Of Abraham. Since Beer
sheba. the home of Isaac. was the
southern outpost of Canaan about
Hfty miles south of Jerusalem,
the journey Of Jacob covered
distance Of about $50 miles. The
only stopping place Of interest a.
long the way was Bethel, sixty
two miles northward from Beer
shehA.
