Ep. 66 - Rebekah | Women of the Bible Series Ep. 6
In today’s episode we are looking at the life of Rebekah. The story starts so well and is again a love story for the ages, the way her and Isaac come together is such a beautiful depiction of Christ’s love for us.
Rebekah’s willingness to leave her home, follow a stranger to a foreign country and marry a man she’s never met shows the amount of faith she had.
She also had faith to carry her through 20 years of barrenness but we see her faith shaken soon after her sons are born. Yes we said son’(s) this is the first biblical account of twins being born but these weren’t any ordinary twins. We see from the womb these two sons fighting and feuding. I can’t imagine how Rebekah must have felt having her two sons brawling within her.
Shortly after her children are born her faith begins to dwindle and lies and deceit begin to take over. We see her begin to favor one child over the other and this causes an eternal feud.
Listen now to find out what happens and why it’s so important to not only start well but to finish well.
