In the following Scripture, Jacob represents Jesus, in the types of the OT. Everything which is told about in the lives of those who lived in the OT, is either showing and revealing things about Jesus or Adam, or Eve. They are revealed all through the OT. God has to show you how to discern this. But many people miss ever seeing the deep truths about these three important people, because they do not receive the revelation or know how to see the types and shadows of the OT.
Gen 27:6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying, Ge 27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
Ge 27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Ge 27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: Ge 27:10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
Esau represents Adam, as he is the firstborn. Jacob represents Jesus, as he is the second born. Esau, being a hairy man, shows that man, without God, in this world, is as a beast. I do not mean an animal, here, but a beast, according to Scripture. It shows the first-man, Adam, which is human beings.
Their being twins, having both the same Mother and Father, being born together, shows that within the same spiritual �?I>mother�? (our earthly lives), is both a son of man and a son of God. The Son of God is the inner man, or the one who has the spirit of God inside. It is our spiritual, ‘manchild�?or the Christ, in us.
The fact that Isaac loved Esau and called him his son shows that the first-man, Adam, loved the earthly things and not the spiritual things. Rebekaha’s loving Jacob more, and calling him her son, shows that Eve, the spiritual Mother of us all, and the heavenly Jerusalem, loves the spiritual things.
Isaac wanted to give the blessing to his firstborn, Esau, showing that Adam wanted to cleave to the earthly things. Being the firstborn, shows Adam, the first or earthly man. But Rebekah desired for Jacob to have the blessing. This shows that Eve, the Mother of us all, wanted her children to have the blessings of God. Her children are the children of FAITH. Jesus Christ is HER SEED. God promised Eve, that HER SEED would bruise the head of that old serpent. This is prophecy of Jesus Christ. So Jesus is the spiritual SEED of Eve. Her children are the ones who served the true God and not that old serpent, Adam, which is earthly or fleshly. It is the DUST which is the serpent’s MEAT.
Esau had already sold his birthright to Jacob, for a pot of stew, showing that Adam cast away his birthright, of being God’s first son, to cling to the earthly, dust things or riches and power to rule over others. Since Jacob wanted the birthright, he also stood in line to have the blessing. It is spiritual. God fully intended to give the spiritual things to his Second Son, Jesus Christ. So all of this is showing it in the types and shadows.
Every truth is typed in the OT. Everything must be proven by those OT types, else you have no proof.
Ge 27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man: Ge 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing. Ge 27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.
Here Rebekah is typing Eve, as she instructed her ‘children�? those of faith, in how to receive the blessings from God. She was willing to receive the curse which might befall any of them. This is one of the main reasons why Eve is so hated, lied about, and slandered, even to our day. Jacob shows the true Christian, as he obeyed his Mother, who is the Mother of us all. She is the Mother of the FAITH CHILDREN OF GOD. Adam did not ‘father�?any faithful children of God. His ‘children�?are those who live in the flesh, and eat of the dust, or earthly things, instead of spiritual things.
Ge 27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
Ge 27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
Ge 27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
Ge 27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Those two kids represent the same thing which the two goats represented, in the law of Moses. One goat had the sins placed upon his head, and was driven out into the wilderness, to wonder alone forever. The other goat was slain and offered to God. They both show Jesus, as he was slain to take away our sins. The other goat, the scapegoat, carried the sins away. Thus she was showing that Eve understood these spiritual things and taught them to her ‘children�? which were the Faith Children of God.
Then Rebekah made savory meat and bread, such as the father liked. This is showing that Eve is the one who had the TRUTH to preach to this world. She gave out the spiritual food, which God loves. She made the spiritual ‘flesh�?which was pleasing to God, the Father and gave it to her Son, which represents Jesus Christ. Thus, as Jesus preached the true ‘flesh�? or spiritual meat and bread, he was showing that he received this from his spiritual Mother, Eve. He is HER SEED. Very few people wish to acknowledge this great truth. But it is verified in all of God’s word. It was HER SEED, not his seed, which bruised the head of that old serpent.
Jacob, or Jesus, was not taking meat and bread of HIS OWN MAKING to his Father, as Esau did. Jacob relied solely upon his MOTHER to get this blessing for him. He obeyed HER, and thus received the blessing, which was passed down through the FAITH SEED, into Jesus Christ. Esau went to his ‘father�?or God, in the types, carrying his own self works. Jacob went, carrying nothing of his own doings, relying solely upon his Spiritual Mother. Esau shows all who live in the flesh and offer to God their own earthly works, such as ‘church�? preachers, or other earthly works. Jacob represents those who go to God, resting solely upon the Spiritual works of Jesus Christ, our spiritual Mother/Father.
When Rebekah took the goodly raiment of the eldest son, Esau, and put it upon Jacob, the younger, this shows that Jesus Christ also had the same human flesh upon him, that Adam had. He was just as fully human as any other human being. That is what this shows. He goes to his Father, clothed in Esau’s clothing! Mary was the instrument which was used here, as Eve, to put this humanity upon this second son of God.
When she put the goats skin on Jacob’s hands and neck, this shows that Jesus was to be clothed in the sacrifices of our sins and goes to God, in his humanity. He took upon himself our sins, thus the goat’s skin.
Ge 27:18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
Ge 27:19 And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me. Ge 27:20 And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought it to me.
Here Jesus is going to the Father, using nothing but the first-man, Adam, human life that he has. He is not going to God claiming to be god, as Adam tried to do. He simply claims to be of the firstborn, humanity. He did not lift himself up as a god. He did not say to God, I am God, I sit in the seat of God, as Adam had claimed. He made no higher claim than being of the firstborn, humanity. Those who teach that Jesus claimed to be god, or was god, are lying against Jesus and cannot find the true types in the OT for such a thing.
We do not see where Adam ever claimed Abel to be his son. It was Eve. She is the one who said, God has given ME another SEED, in place of ABEL, WHOM CAIN SLEW. (Cain’s killing Abel, showed here, that humanity would kill Jesus, trying to do away with that spiritual SEED, which would take away HIS DOMINION.) What takes place after this occurred with Jacob? Esau immediately sets out to SLEY JACOB. He had that murdering spirit in him. But Eve, the Mother, saved him. This is showing that Eve’s teaching her children of the true FAITH, saves Jesus Christ from eternal death. Seth’s replacing Abel, shows that the resurrected Christ, replaces, and saves the earthly Jesus. Thus they are joined TOGETHER into one Son of God, coming from the same spiritual MOTHER.
Next, Jacob tells the father, I have done as you bade me. This is Jesus, in prophecy, saying I did always that things which pleased my Father, so now, arise, eat of the FOOD I HAVE PREPARED FOR YOU. Eat of my offering. Bless me. Then he says, God brought this to me. Thus Jesus gives God the glory, all the way. This is truly SO BEAUTIFUL.
Ge 27:21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not. Ge 27:22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
The above is truly beautiful. It is God showing that the voice is Jesus, but he is in human flesh. The hands are the hands, (flesh) of Esau, the firstborn, or first-man, Adam. Thus the MESSAGE of Jesus was delivered in a human person.
Ge 27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him. Ge 27:24 And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am. Ge 27:25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
So here, we see that God ate of the food which Jesus brought to him, or accepted his offering. He said did not discern him, showing that men cannot discern the truth of Jesus, because of his humanity. This also shows that the message which Jesus brought the world is the very same message which Eve, Abel, and Seth all preached to this world. They all received it from the Mother, Eve. This is proof that Eve taught the world the entire word of God, and it is the very same message which Jesus taught.
Again, he asks, are you my very son, Esau. Again Jesus verifies, Yes, I am of the firstborn, I am human. He gave the father food and wine to drink. Thus Jesus delivered the entire spiritual message, which pleased his Father, and thus, he received the full blessing of God.
Ge 27:26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
The come near and kiss me, shows that Jesus came near to God and worshipped him. The kiss shows worship. He walked always, close to God.
Ge 27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
God saw this was a full human man, who had pleased God in all things. Here he acknowledges that this one is of the earth, earthly, but was the blessed of the Lord. Thank you, precious Lord Jesus, for revealing this great message to me. How I love your beautiful WORD.
Ge 27:28 Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
Ge 27:29 Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let
