In today’s Scripture reading Abraham’s son Isaac appears. And God appears to this Isaac and speaks to him. In the Bible we find many cases where the people of faith suffered famine. Abraham went down to Egypt because of famine, and Naomi as well as Lot also went down to the Moab region because of a severe famine. And as you can see today in the Book of Genesis chapter 26, Abraham’s son Isaac is said to have also gone down to Abimelech because of famine.

It is very important for you and me to realize clearly what blessings are given to us through God’s Church. Today I would like to share the Word with you regarding this important issue.
How did you and I receive the remission of sins? Did we receive it by chance? Did we meet our Lord because we were somehow wiser, smarter, or even more spiritual than anyone else? Is it possible for anyone to meet the Lord through his or her own merits? No, not at all!

Today’s passage of Scripture we have just read together describes how Jacob listened to his mother’s advice, disguised himself with goat skin, and then approached his father and was blessed in his brother’s name. When some people read this passage they consider it strange that Isaac blessed Jacob and cursed Esau, saying that Jacob was an unscrupulous liar. In their eyes, people like Jacob are liars, while people like Esau are honest people.

Today we read a passage of Scripture from the Book of Genesis chapter 27, verses 1 to 29. When we look at this Scripture from a worldly perspective, we will see an extremely strange incident. There are things here that do not make sense or cannot be comprehended with the human mind.

The Bible is a Book written in such a way for God to teach us about the remission of sins. This is a matter of the utmost importance to every human being. That is why the Bible teaches all of us humans how we can receive the remission of our sins from God. Therefore, it is the only guide book on salvation, the blueprint on salvation, and the manual for salvation. It deals with the salvation of every individual in various ways.

As mentioned here, Jacob was on his way to his uncle’s house fleeing from his older brother Esau’s wrath. This was because he used his older brother’s name and had worn Esau’s clothing and had gone before his father. And he received the blessings that Esau should have received. When Isaac’s eyesight grew dim and could not see anything properly anymore he asked Jacob who was standing before him, “Are you really Esau,” Jacob replied, “Yes, I am your eldest son Esau.” He actually said this to his father. Before this incident, Jacob purchased his birthright with a bowl of lentil stew, and now he received the prayer of blessing from his father instead of Esau. And when his brother found out how he manipulated this, he attempted to kill his younger brother. When this happened Rebekah said to Jacob, “If I don’t do something, I will lose both of my sons in one day. Go to your uncle Laban’s house and stay there for a while and then return later.” Jacob did as his mother said because he was in a dire situation where he had to flee for his life. On his way to Haran, Jacob was blessed by God through a dream while sleeping at Bethel.

Today I would like to ruminate with you through the Word of God on the question, “Who the really blessed are?” Our God says clearly that He will not give the blessings of Heaven just because of some righteous act by man. Rather, one must realize that God gives these spiritual blessings from Heaven including earthly blessings only to those who eat the flesh of Jesus Christ and drink His blood by faith. Let’s then examine step by step how God gives His blessings to everyone, and exactly what faith one must have to receive them.

My fellow believers, when will our Lord return? He will return when He wants to return. When will our Lord come back? He will come back exactly as He said He would come back. The saints will be raptured when the seven trumpets are blown, and the Lord will return after pouring the seven bowls out on this earth. Do you believe this? I have taught you what will happen in these last days. My teachings are based exactly on the Word of God. As a servant of God and your leader, I myself have prophesied about the end times according to the written Word because I believe in this Word and not by anything else that comes from my own thoughts. Indeed, there is nothing else for us to do except to believe in God’s Word exactly as He said. And all that we have to do is just preach the gospel of the water and the Spirit diligently until the day our Lord returns.
