May I say, you can't help but notice
that as you go through here, and the
thing that happened now, he came unto his
father and said, My father, and he said,
Here am I.
Who art thou, my son?
The voice was not quite the voice of
Esau.
It was everything else.
It was like Esau.
And Jacob said unto his father, I am
Esau, thy firstborn.
I have done according as thou didst me.
Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of
my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
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.
And believe me, this boy at this particular
point is a typical, pious fraud.
And you find many of them today in
fundamental circles.
They talk about the Lord leading them.
And sometimes the Lord leads them to do
some very unusual things.
I find out sometimes that Christian men can
do things that if the Mafia did it,
and the Mafia does things like that, why,
the Mafia would be arrested for it.
But they very piously pray about it and
say it's the Lord's will.
I'm not always sure about that.
And believe me, this boy, Jacob, at this
point is a pious fraud.
Because the Lord thy God brought it to
me.
The Lord had nothing to do with this,
friends.
Verse 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.
Isaac suspicioned something.
But you see, Rebecca knew Isaac very well.
And she had worked this thing out.
And so 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.
And I think also the older was, too.
I don't think there's any question about that.
The hands are the hands of Esau.
And he discerned him not, because his hands
were hairy as his brother Esau's hand.
So he blessed him.
And he said, Art thou my very son
Esau?
And he said, I am.
And he said, Bring it near to me,
and I'll 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.
And his father Isaac said unto him, Come
near now, and kiss me my son.
He came near and kissed him, and he
smelled the smell of his raiment.
I told you that was there, friends.
And blessed him, and said, See, the smell
of my son is the smell of a
field which the Lord hath blessed.
Therefore God give thee of the dew of
heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and
plenty of corn and wine.
Let people serve thee, and nations bow down
to thee.
Be Lord over thy brethren, and let thy
mother's sons bow down to thee.
Cursed be everyone that curseth thee, and blessed
be he that blesseth thee.
Now, he's giving a blessing he had received.
He's passing it on.
But the interesting thing is, it already was
Jacob's.
God had said that.
God had already blessed.
And God is not accepting this at all.
You can write that down.
