I’m so glad to see feasts in Christian curricula! A testament to more people waking up..? HalleluYah.

When Jacob left Canaan, he set up one stone. When he returned, he set up a pile of stones. This was prophetic of his later journey to Egypt as a small clan and the Hebrews' later Exodus as a great multitude. It is also prophetic of the Greater Exodus of Messiah's return and his calling all his people out of the nations to the land of #israel.

Romans 11:17

Jacob paid the bride prices for Leah and Rachel through fourteen years of labor, but Laban didn't give a dowry in return. In fact, he tried to cheat Jacob out of even more labor. This could have made Leah and Rachel into purchased concubines if not for divine intervention. God extracted Leah's and Rachel's dowries from Laban without his cooperation by transferring much of his livestock to Jacob.

I have heard that Abraham and Isaac represent two poles on a continuum of love/justice with Abraham at the extreme of Love and Isaac at the extreme of Justice. Jacob had the balanced character required to deal with Laban. Genesis 31:42 + Matthew 10:16

Those nations which host Israel are blessed by God. So long as they recognize the source of their blessing, it will continue. If they forget and mistreat Israel, they will forfeit their blessing to Israel. Like Laban and Egypt. Israel walked away from both with great wealth, while their former oppressors lost their wealth, gods, and children.

Patterns, patterns, and patterns.

Michael Hyatt and Company is offering a free goal-setting class this Friday at 11am Eastern. I know that's Prep Day, but if you can squeeze it in, I highly recommend it! Even if you're not a large company but just one person wearing all the hats, I think you'll get a lot of good takeaways. I've attended many of their trainings before, and they are usually excellent.

Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, "Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house? Are we not regarded by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and he has indeed devoured our money."
Genesis 31:14-15

When Laban finally understood that his daughters had become Hebrews, he began to treat them as foreigners. Later (v28) he gave up trying to assimilate Jacob and tried to claim the children instead.

Rachel and Leah are like gentiles grafted into Israel. We have lost the corrupt, transient inheritance of our fathers, but we have gained an eternal inheritance in the Messiah and King of Israel. Good bye, Laban, and good riddance. Don't let him claim your children!
