Genesis 22: The Supreme Test In the climax of Abraham’s journey, he is asked to offer up his beloved son on Mount Moriah. Discover the most poignant picture of Christ: the beloved son carrying the wood for his own sacrifice until God provides Himself a lamb. #TheAkedah #JehovahJireh #Substitution

Genesis 23: Securing a Stake Following Sarah’s death, Abraham insists on paying the full price for a burial plot in Canaan rather than returning home. This purchase is the "earnest" or down payment on God’s promise that his seed would own the land. #Sarah #FaithInDeath #Hebron

Genesis 20: The Danger of Old Nature Even the "father of the faithful" repeats his previous deception regarding Sarah in the court of Abimelech. See how God’s restraining grace protects the purity of the Messianic line despite Abraham’s lapse into carnal reasoning. #HumanFrailty #RestrainingGrace #Prophet

Genesis 50: God Meant It for Good Following Jacob’s death, he is buried with great honour in the land of Canaan, testifying to the family's faith that the land was their true home. After the funeral, the brothers fear Joseph will finally take revenge, but he responds with the ultimate summary of the Gospel. Joseph declares: "But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good," proving that the greatest malice of man cannot thwart the salvation of God. The following information is from outside the sources and may need independent verification: Joseph lives to see his great-grandchildren before dying at the age of one hundred and ten. His final act is a command to have his bones carried back to Canaan during the future Exodus, demonstrating his unwavering faith in God’s promise to return His people to their inheritance. #Genesis50 #GodMeantItForGood #Providence #FaithfulEnd

Genesis 49: The Lion of the Tribe of Judah Jacob gathers his twelve sons to reveal what shall befall them in the "last days". He rebukes Reuben for his instability and sin, which ultimately cost him the birthright. Simeon and Levi are also disciplined, losing their tribal prominence due to their past cruelty at Shechem. The following information is from outside the sources and may need independent verification: Jacob then gives the pre-eminent blessing to Judah, prophesying that the sceptre shall not depart from his line until Shiloh (the Messiah) comes. This establishes the tribe of Judah as the royal line of David and the earthly lineage of Jesus Christ. Jacob concludes his charge by requesting to be buried in the cave of Machpelah alongside Abraham, Isaac, Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah. #Prophecy #LionOfJudah #TwelveTribes #Legacy

Genesis 48: The Adoption of the Sons Jacob, nearing the end of his life, adopts Joseph’s sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, as his own. These boys, born in Egypt of an Egyptian mother, are fully grafted into the Hebrew stock, illustrating how God’s grace sanctifies those from foreign lands. The following information is from outside the sources and may need independent verification: When Jacob blesses the boys, he deliberately crosses his hands, placing the right-hand blessing on the younger, Ephraim. This reinforces the recurring theme of divine sovereignty, where God’s elective grace frequently chooses the younger over the elder. Jacob recounts God's faithfulness at Bethel, ensuring the next generation remembers the God of their fathers. #EphraimAndManasseh #DivineElection #BlessingTheNextGen

Genesis 47: The Segregation of Grace Joseph presents his family to Pharaoh, strategically securing the land of Goshen for their settlement. This move was not accidental but prophetic, providing the necessary isolation for the family to grow into a multitude without Canaanite influence. The following information is from outside the sources and may need independent verification: Joseph introduces five of his brothers and his father to Pharaoh, who grants them the best of the land. Because shepherds were an abomination to the Egyptians, this cultural segregation was essential to preserve the purity of the Messianic line. Joseph continues to manage the famine, eventually bringing all the land and people of Egypt under Pharaoh’s direct ownership in exchange for bread. #Goshen #DivineSeparation #JosephInEgypt

Genesis 46: The Migration to Goshen Jacob receives divine permission to descend into Egypt, assured that God will go with him. The family of seventy is reunited, preserved in the isolation of Goshen to grow into a holy nation. #Goshen #JacobAndJoseph #FaithfulGod
