In this episode, special guest Justin Brown of the Prometheus Lens podcast joins the discussion to explore the Serpent Seed Theory from multiple perspectives, including biblical parables where Jesus may be referencing an ancient Seed War. The conversation also touches on The Dragon Legacy by Nicholas DeVere, which presents the Serpent Seed concept through a secular lens, connecting it to elite and royal bloodlines. The episode delves into the mystery of Esau's unusual birth and introduces the topic of elongated skulls, with a close look at a real specimen. These skulls, with their distinct non-human features, are examined as possible evidence of a hybrid race linked to the fallen ones and the ongoing Seed War.   Please check out Alan Paul Roberts's Book "The Globalist Plan To Collapse Everything": https://globalcollapsebook.com Please subscribe to the new Tin Foil Hat youtube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/@TinFoilHatYoutube Check out Sam Tripoli new crowd work special "Black Crack Robots" now for free. https://youtu.be/_FKugOeYaLc Check out Sam Tripoli's 2nd New Crowd Work Special “Potty Mouth” on YouTube for free. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22j3Ds5ArjM Grab your copy of the 2nd issue of the Chaos Twins now and join the Army Of Chaos: https://bit.ly/415fDfY Check out Sam "DoomScrollin with Sam Tripoli and Midnight Mike" Every Tuesday At 4pm pst on Youtube, X Twitter, Rumble and Rokfin!

Welcome to I Love to Tell the Story, a podcast on the narrative lectionary! In this episode for September 21, 2025, hosts Rolf Jacobson, Kathryn Schifferdecker, and Karoline Lewis dive deep into the complex story of Jacob stealing his brother Esau's blessing with the help of his mother Rebecca. This episode explores the third week of the narrative lectionary cycle, examining one of the most morally complex stories in Genesis.  Our hosts discuss: * The dysfunctional family dynamics in Genesis and what they reveal about humanity * Jacob as a "trickster" figure and the consequences of deception * The theological significance of God meeting Jacob at Bethel when he had nothing but a stone for a pillow * How this Old Testament story connects to John 1:50-51 and Jesus as the place where heaven and earth meet * The contrast between trying to "box God in" versus recognizing God's presence in daily life The conversation reveals how these ancient stories continue to speak truth about both God's character and human nature, showing how God works with and through flawed people throughout salvation history.

From their conception there was bad blood between Jacob, aka “Israel” and his brother Esau, aka “Edom.”  Tensions between their descendants continued after their death and run all the way through the Bible.  Obadiah picked up on this and prophesied of Edom's downfall.  While this part of the prophecy has come to pass, it stands as a modern message, warning us to guard against godlessness and pride which was the root of Edom's downfall.

"And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host: and he called the name of that place Mahanaim.”—Genesis 32:1-2 This week, on Doctrine for Life, Dr. Joel Beeke begins his sermon on Jacob's confrontation with a raging Esau in Genesis 32.

Many people think the Bible is filled with stories of religious heroes. But Genesis is filled with villains. The people God uses in the Bible often don't come off as moral exemplars to be emulated but as trophies of his grace and mercy. In this message, Michael Bouterse, director of Thrive Harbor, looks to the story of Jacob and Esau for evidence of God's grace in working through flawed and broken people. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 24:67; 25:21-23, 27-34; 28:10-15; Romans 10:17; and Ephesians 2:8-9.

It's the shortest book in the Old Testament (only 21 verses) yet the prophecy of Obadiah carries a message of justice, humility, and hope.Pastor Jeff Cranston revisits one of Kitchen Table Theology's most unexpectedly popular episodes: an overview of the book of Obadiah. We'll explore the historical conflict between Edom and Israel, the pride that led to Edom's downfall, and how this ancient prophecy still speaks to our hearts today.00:00 – Season Update and Introduction to ObadiahNext week we begin our “Practical Theology” series.

In this episode of the Christian Prepper podcast, we explore how believers should respond to fear while maintaining a preparedness mindset. Drawing wisdom from Jacob's journey in Genesis 32, we examine how he faced his fears when confronting his brother Esau after years of separation. Just as Jacob balanced practical planning with heartfelt prayer, Christian preppers today must combine thoughtful preparation with unwavering faith. For Christian preppers seeking to balance biblical faith with practical readiness, this episode offers spiritual encouragement that preparedness should lead to confidence rather than anxiety.

Pastor Gutierrez breaks down the importance of trusting God and the dangers of seeking instant gratification based on the stories of Isaac and Esau from Genesis 25:29-34 and 26:1-34.

Romans 9 presents a dramatic shift from Paul's triumphant declaration of God's love in chapter 8 to his profound grief over his fellow Israelites who rejected Christ. Paul's sorrow is so deep that he states he would be willing to be cut off from Christ for their sake—a powerful example of Christlike love for the lost. He recounts Israel's incredible spiritual privileges: their adoption as God's people, the divine glory, covenants, law, temple worship, promises, patriarchs, and even the Messiah himself came through them. Yet despite these blessings, many missed recognizing Jesus as the promised one. Paul addresses a critical question: Has God's word failed? His answer is that God's promises were never based merely on physical descent from Abraham but on His sovereign choice. Using examples like Isaac over Ishmael and Jacob over Esau, Paul demonstrates that God's mercy is given according to His purposes, not human merit. When faced with objections about fairness, Paul reminds readers that mercy, by definition, is never owed—if it were, it wouldn't be mercy. The potter and clay metaphor reinforces that God has the right to shape His creation according to His will. The chapter concludes by explaining that while many Gentiles received righteousness through faith, many Israelites stumbled because they pursued righteousness through works rather than faith. This profound teaching calls believers to embrace humility, trust God's sovereign plan, find rest in His purposes, and share His mercy with others.

This man has traveled the world exploring and taking samples of the rock layers compiling his evidence for a global flood just like the Bible tells us!====================

Hebrews 11:17a, 19a, 20-21a, 23a, 24-25a, 29a, 12:1-3 - By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac …. He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead …. By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph …. By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents …. By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God …. By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land …. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

In Chapter 17, we see how having God's goal clearly in view changes the way we run the race. Many settle for lesser ends—salvation, a “separated life,” a ministry accomplishment—and stop there. But God's sons are called to live and run toward His supreme purpose, not just personal milestones. This chapter unpacks three vital laws for staying in the race: the power of a goal that pulls us forward, the unfolding of God's intention as we walk in obedience, and the law of spiritual perspective that keeps distant eternal purposes from being obscured by near and temporary concerns. Whether it's Abraham, Israel, Paul, or the Church, God first gives the “bud” of His intention and reveals more as we obey. Our challenge is to avoid Esau's mistake of trading an eternal birthright for a short-term satisfaction. Walking in His light enables us to keep every “telephone pole” of experience aligned with His eternal horizon. Here we go! Thanks for Listening!

The Acts of the Apostles: A Socio-Rhetorical Commentary

With the powerful hold idols have over us, is there any hope that we might dethrone these counterfeit gods?  The answer is, “Yes!” …IF we take to heart this foundational truth.  Idols cannot simply be removed – they have to be replaced.How do we do that? If we hope to deal with our idols, what we need is not merely a vague belief in God but a profound encounter with God.Jacob had such an encounter, and it changed him forever. We met Jacob and his wives, Leah and Rachel, in a previous message. By the time we get to Genesis 31, Jacob has settled into married life and is prospering quite nicely. But Jacob's success became a threat to his father-in-law, Laban, and tension began to grow between them. So, Jacob decided it was time to part ways and return to his homeland. By now, his parents were gone, but his twin brother, Esau, the one Jacob had deceived, was still around. And the last time they had seen each other, Esau threatened to kill him. As Jacob and his huge entourage of family, servants, flocks, and herds drew near, he received the alarming news. Esau was heading his way, accompanied by a small army. Jacob was sure Esau was coming to make good on his threat. So, he springs into action. He sends out some servants with a huge gift of livestock for his brother. Then he divides his family into smaller groups and sends them across the river. Now night is falling, and Jacob is alone. All of his life, Jacob had been a “control freak.” He had sought to control people and circumstances to get what he wanted. He demonstrates the ultimate counterfeit god: SELF.The idol of self comes in many forms: self-sufficiency, self-determination, self-rule. Every one of us is challenged by the idol of self. Like Jacob, you've determined to be a survivor.  And like Jacob, you survived—but at a huge cost.Jacob's life had been one long wrestling match to get a blessing.  He wrestled with Esau to hear it from his father's lips.  He had wrestled with Laban to find it in Rachel's companionship.  But it hadn't worked.  He was still needy and empty on the inside. And now, he wrestles with God Himself. A mysterious figure comes to Jacob in the night, and they wrestle, struggling all night long, until at last, the Lord touches his hip and it is wrenched out of its socket. But rather than let go, Jacob clung all the harder. “I won't let go until you bless me!” He realized that nothing else matters. If he didn't have God's blessing, he didn't have anything.At long last, Jacob recognized the true God and surrendered to Him. God gave him a new name—Israel. And He left him with a reminder of who is really in control: Jacob would walk with a limp for the rest of his life.Jacob's transformation came after a profound encounter with God.  And, in the end, that is the only remedy against idolatry. When you know God as GOD, you don't need anything or anyone else. And when you give control to Him, you don't have to bow to the idol of self.  Text: Genesis 31-32Originally recorded on December 12, 2010, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

Pastor Amos uses the story of Jacob and Esau as a guide for making amends

Dr. Smith discusses self-denial and true faith, emphasizing that faith begins where self ends. He uses the story of Esau, who traded his birthright for stew, to illustrate the consequences of prioritizing immediate gratification over God's promises. Dr. Smith warns against living at the mercy of one's urges, as it leads to destruction. He highlights self-control as a key to avoiding this, discussing excesses in physical pleasure, money, and emotional indulgence. He emphasizes the importance of enduring temptation and seeking God's way of escape, rather than expecting temptation to disappear, drawing on scripture to support the idea that God provides a way to endure.

Send us a textFamily relationships can be both our greatest joy and deepest pain, as illustrated in the story of Jacob and Esau. Their family was marked by parental favoritism, with Isaac loving Esau for his hunting skills and Rebekah favoring Jacob. This favoritism led to destructive patterns: Jacob's manipulation in trading stew for Esau's birthright and later deceiving his father for the blessing, and Esau's impulsivity and rage. These cycles of dysfunction mirror our own family struggles today. Yet God's grace can and does work through broken families.This message was preached at Centerpointe Community Church by Pastor Mike Wrigglesworth on Sunday, August 3rd, 2025Support the show

Following the death of Abraham, his son Isaac fathers twin boys, Jacob and Esau—whose rivalry nearly tears the family apart. In this message, Dustin Polley, director of Thrive Kitsap, looks at how Genesis 25 points to God's ability to redeem messed up families. Scripture passages cited (or alluded to) in this message include Genesis 25; Malachi 1:2-5; Romans 9:1-24; and Micah 6:8.

In the original languages of Hebrew and Greek, the meaning of the word ‘repentance' is fundamentally the same: to turn around, or to turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.• Opener• Review• Hebrews 12:17 – Key verse• Hebrews 12:1 – A great cloud of witnesses • Hebrews 12:2-4 – Yeshua showed us how• Hebrews 12:5-7 – Don't despise the discipline • Hebrews 12:7-10 – Illegitimate and not sons• Hebrews 12:11 – Trained by it • Hebrews 12:12-14 – Every day we make choices • Hebrews 12:15 – A root of bitterness • Hebrews 12:16-17 – Esau did not repent• If you can't repent… • Hebrews 12:18-25 – We know exactly what we're getting into• Hebrews 12:26-29 – How does this make sense?• A whole lotta shakin' going on• The work we have to do? • 2 Peter 3:9 – All should come to repentance • 2 Peter 3:1-2 – Stirring up by reminding • 2 Peter 3:3-8 – Mocking the promise of his coming • 2 Peter 3:9-14 – Are you ready for his return?• 2 Peter 3:15-16 – Untaught and unstable? • 2 Peter 3:17 – The delusion of the lawless?• 2 Peter 3:18 – Growing in favor?  Listen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020. Join us for Shabbat Services and Torah Study LIVE, streamed on our website, mtoi.org, YouTube, and Rumble every Saturday at 1:15 p.m. and every Friday for Torah Study Live Stream at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.
