all good things come from God including a good husband just pray to God and ask for a sign to be sure that what you have asked for truly comes from God do the praying and asking of sign in your heart to be sure that it is only you and God that share that information. follow your prayer and wait for it to come out exactly because there is nothing that God cannot do then continue trusting and consulting God in every thing that will follow and you will live happily there after.
Never notice this but Jacob was also his mom 2nd cousin. They both had the same great grandfaher. Jacob actully came through all of terah kids line. He was abrham grandson, nahor greatgrandson and haran grat great grandson. terah was jacon great grandfather, 2x great grandfather and 3x great grandfather.
Rebekha was Issack 1st cousin once removed. Note his father im law also had the same grandfather as issack. His grandfather in law was also his uncle Nahor. Werid how they marry in the family like that. Even his two kids married thier cousins. Eaus married one of his dad brother daughters and Jacob married two of his mom brother daughters. Jacob would have been some of his kids 1st cousin once removed since two of his wives were his cousins. Thought it was intersting.
I agree with Jane. What a love story! What a beautiful picture of the servant ( the Holy Ghost)drawing the bride Rebekah (the Church, the Bride of Christ) to the Son Issac ( the Son of God Jesus) to be united in marriage and eternal love!! Note in vs.60 - The blessing on Rebekah - she would be the mother of thousands of millions and her seed would possess the gate of them which hate them!! Jesus said," I will build my church and the gates of hell would not prevail against it."Mt.16:18 Praise the Lord! What glorious love!!
This is my most favorite love story in the Bible, it inspired me to wait for God's will in my life..just like Rebekah who waited for Isaac. It's so amazing to found a one true love. I praise & thank the Lord I wed the man God has prepared for me on Jan 7, 2011. Now, I'm 7 weeks pregnant of our first baby.To God be the glory!
V.4. Marriage, I think, means a life- long committment, not to be broken. Genesis 24:67 says Isaac brought her into his mother's tent and took her and she became his wife. This was before civil registration was required for a legal marriage. The ceremony was already done with God's direction by the servant who went to bring Rebecca to Isaac. An extended pursuit for the right spouse, with God's guidance, and, I believe, the legal and social procedures of a wedding is propper for our day. Otherwise the enemy may use our emotions to set us up for much misery to follow.
AN OATH - Was a special thing. People swore and new the meaning - That GOD was their witness.
These days, - People do not realize what is coming out of their mouths.
