John remarks: >From our point of view, prophecy is the prediction of the future. For God, it is >the observation of the future for He can see it as clearly as He does the present or >the past. Does prophecy tell us that Jacob is the "rightful" owner or is it giving >us God's view of the future. That it will happen is different form that it should >happen, if you see what I am saying. And what is the point? Jacob and his mom did >not see this as his birthright -- that is why deceitful measures were taken. Do >we have a circumstance, here, in which God has made some kind of pronouncement about >the birthright (if so where) and Jacob et al have decided to "help" God out .... >if, in time, God would have arranged this transfer apart from lies and deceit?
