Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Successor (Genesis 27:1-41)

The Lord has bound himself to work in the context and the confines of the covenantal line.  This means that the promise made to Abraham must have a successor to receive that promise.  Isaac is getting old, he has two children, but the Lord has chosen one child to be the heir of the promise.  Isaac does not want to confer the blessing to the younger, but to the older.  Is the Lord still able to establish His Sabbath people?

Sojourning Under the Sun: Sabbath Sacrifice (Genesis 22:1-19)

The Lord promised to make a barren couple fruitful.  They had no children, but the Lord promised them to have a biological child even after they were beyond child bearing years.  Why does the Lord endanger the child when he finally arrives in history?  Why would the Lord do such a thing?
