Early in the story of the Bible, God chooses the family of Abraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac’s son Jacob as his chosen representatives to bless other peoples. But these families are full of the same rivalry, envy, and division present in any other family. What is God doing with these less-than-ideal candidates? Join Tim and Jon as they trace the theme of the firstborn in the narratives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

  2. Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’”

    Has anyone ever had the thought God was referring to Himself and Jesus when He said “let us make man in our image? Jesus exist before the word so technically he exist with God in creation correct?

    My apologies if and when I’m reiterating facts or scenarios you guys have already stated.
    Thank you all for this awesome podcast. I’m immersed in the wisdom of God’s word you all share. Fantastic job Bible project.

  5. I've learned a lot about the Bible in these podcasts and greatly appreciate all the work that's gone into putting these together. I'm just aggravated that the ads happen every 3-5 minutes!
    Thanks guys for all your love for God and sharing His word!

  22. The "Bible" is not a "story" book, but the spoken and recorded "WORD" of our Father, "I AM" The "LORD" thy GOD (Exodus 3:13-15: Isaiah 42:8, 43:10-11; Hosea 13:4) to HIS "chosen" (Genesis 17:7; Exodus 6:7, 29:45, Deuteronomy 4:2, 12:2; Ezekiel 34:24, 36:28, 37:27; Amos 3:2; 2 Esdras 6:56)12 tribe Negro ( Zondervans Bible Dictionary) family "bloodline" of Jacob/Israel (Genesis 32:22-32), descendants of Shem (Shemites) progenitor of the "one" Negro family Nation "bloodline" of people, ancestor to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel, whom HE will Isaiah 14-3.
    Psalms 83 and Psalms 50:16 in full effect!

  23. The uninformed will not understand this, but if you don’t know why Cain murdered Abel, then you cannot understand what is going on around you today.
    If you do not understand who Cain was, then you don’t understand the Bible. If you don’t know who Cain’s descendants are (Kenites), then you can hardly grasp world events, such as the primary reason behind nearly every war.
    If you don’t know who Cain was, you don’t understand “secret societies” and their true role and objectives.
    If you wish to understand the “world”, the most important action you can take is to learn who the descendants of Cain are, the Kenites, and then determine what name they go by today. Only then will you know the truth and understand almost everything.

  28. Abraham was not a good man. Sarah was in control. He had to send Hagar and her child away, before Sarah killed them. How is this a story of faith? Lots of people in bible argued with God. God did not dis Hagar and her son, he took care of them ,when Abraham threw them away..

  29. First let me say. I love your podcast. I learn alot. Are you using king James verson? God told Abram to leave his father's house,because of the human sacrifice. If Abram was truly so fatefull, why did he laugh at God? Hagar was a slave, which is not a job, she could not say no. Sarah sent her to be raped by Abraham. Sarah then (12:6) she wanted to harm Hagar and the child.

  31. Please don’t go woke guys lol God help us – men are not evil and patriarchies are not evil man and are at the root of the bible; also note that in the modern world feminism has done no better then men with their power killing how many children for their power. God help us

  33. At 36:45 you make an excellent point that in some sense, God has chosen the second son, but in many, he has made the firstborn to be lifted up into his rightful position. Much like the Firstborn of all Creation. He was treated much like a second son, cast out and forgotten, but God showed the world that he was actually the firstborn. By all accounts of Jesus, he was late, unholy, unkind, a liar, and deceitful. Yet he was chosen of God and holy from BEFORE the foundation of the world. Much like God chooses us before the foundation of the world
    Even as how Paul speaks of children of Promise versus children of Power. It simply shows that men have no idea what God will do, so why try and figure it out? He will do it, for he is faithful who promised.
