Exactly.  God loves those who love Him and those who seek Him early are the ones who
find Him.  So in spite of Jacob's subterfuge he followed hard after God, fighting with the angel
at Bethel and refusing to be distracted.  In spite of the warts he was on the right track.....

No, I do not agree.  "Jacob have I loved, and Esau have I hated."  Profane men do not inherit the kingdom of God.  Furthermore, please look at the context in which Esau is being discussed.  Heb. 12:15 warns men about not failing of the grace of God.

I am speaking of a repentance that might effect one's destiny,  not a repentance that seeks the reversal of a legal (if you will) decision.   Heb. 12:17 speaks of the birthright, not Esua;s eternal destiny --  agreed?

Was Judas better than Esau?

Hebrews 12:16-17
(16) Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one 
morsel of meat sold his birthright.
(17) For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the 
blessing, he was rejected: for HE FOUND NO PLACE OF REPENTANCE, THOUGH HE 
SOUGHT IT CAREFULLY WITH TEARS.

Proverbs 28:5
(5) Evil men understand not judgment: but they that seek the LORD understand 
all things.

Peace be with you.
David Miller.
