Genesis HIStory - Genesis 36

Genesis 36 unsensational, however, we will uncover a powerful truth: God is the ultimate Promise-Maker and Promise-Keeper. Though often overlooked, this chapter serves as a testament to God's unwavering faithfulness. We see how the extensive family tree of Esau, though not the chosen son, still fulfills God's promise to Abraham of countless descendants. This reminds us that God's blessings extend beyond our expectations, touching even those we might consider outside His plan. The chapter also confirms God's oracle to Rebekah about two nations in her womb, and Isaac's prophecy about Esau's dwelling place. As we reflect on these fulfilled promises, we're challenged to trust in God's word for our own lives, knowing that His promises, though sometimes long in coming, are always perfectly timed and faithfully executed.
