➡ Jacob discusses the biblical story of Abraham, emphasizing the significance of firstborn and second-born children in scripture. He explains how Abraham, initially impatient for a son, fathered Ishmael with a servant, but God’s promised child was Isaac, born later to Abraham’s wife, Sarah. Jacob highlights the recurring theme of the second-born child being more significant, as seen with Isaac, Jesus, and others. He concludes by relating these stories to personal spiritual growth, suggesting that we often need to move beyond our initial identities to truly understand and fulfill our purpose.

Hello, my friends. Jacob’s here. One more time. Thank you for pressing play to spend a little time with me. So we dig into probably one of the most important, the foundational stories of scripture. Because through this man named Abraham, who was once called Abram until God gave him another name, everyone, as far as the stars in the sky, the granules of sand, and the sea on the shore, everyone is blessed. That’s why Abraham was called the father of many nations. But there’s a story about this great man that many people have. Well, they’ve taught the wrong way.

In fact, probably this will be the first time that you’ve heard it taught this way. And I believe there’s a reason for it. Because the very nature of God is at stake here. If we have a God that will test you and tempt you and literally tell you that you should prove your love to me by killing the beautiful son that I gave you, well, then perhaps we have a little bit of a problem there, because God doesn’t test anyone. It’s written in scripture right there. God does not tempt man, nor can he be tempted. God is above all this.

So then where is the disconnect? Where do we get this story that God came in and told Abraham, Abraham, here I am, Lord. Go and take your son Isaac. Go to Mount Moriah, which literally means the place where God sends you, and sacrifice your son unto me. Strange thing. But before we even get into that, we need to talk about Abraham’s son, Isaac. Because what happened was Abraham was at a point in his life where he was old, he was weary, he was tired, so was his wife. Many people teach that they were very, very old.

Probably in their 80s, something like that. You get the idea. Wearied these people were. He always wanted a son. And one day God comes and says, hey, you’re gonna get this son. And he doesn’t really wait. He gets pretty impatient. Much like we all do when God kind of puts something in our heart and tells us, hey, you know, we’re gonna do this for you. Hey, your channel’s gonna reach millions. Your novel’s gonna be a bestseller, become a movie, you know? So then what happens is you don’t wait on God. You don’t trust on God. Abraham wasn’t waiting on God or trusting on God.

So he said to his wife, it’s like, I don’t know. We’re trying. We’re trying, right? He’s probably having a good old time, but nothing’s happening. You’re not getting pregnant. What’s going on? And Then Sarah comes up with this idea. Isn’t that the way the mind of man works, the intellect? Kind of. Hey, this is what. Maybe this is what he meant. Well, I’ll take one of my servants, one of my maid servants, handmaids, and I’ll put them on my knees, you know, after she gets pregnant, which, by the way, of course, Abraham is now going to go now, impregnate Hagai, which is basically a slave.

And. And then basically, Haggai’s gonna do, like, the show Handmaid’s Tales gonna be on. Like, you know, it’s gonna pre. She’s gonna pretend Sarah, this old lady is gonna pretend that young, strong Haggai’s baby is her baby. And then she will be raised such. His name was Ishmael. Now, Ishmael grew up. He was a very strong. He was a hunter, he was a killer. He was great. But this wasn’t the child, the promise, because God said that Sarah was going to deliver. So it became what we know in Christianity, we call it. You don’t want to create an Ishmael.

Now, God still blesses Ishmael. He ends up becoming a great, great nation in the world. Wasn’t his fault, the angel said to Haggai when she was escaping, because they thought that Ishmael was going to be killed. When Isaac came along, the angel said that, you know, you’re going to be blessed. He’s going to be blessed, and people will be blessed through him. But the story is a little bit deeper. You see, there’s this ongoing theme in scripture where you have these children, these firstborn children that come into the world, like Ishmael. Ishmael wasn’t the child of promise.

He was a hunter. He’s a killer. But then Isaac, who actually came later, when Sarah actually became pregnant and gave birth to Isaac, which means laughter, because she didn’t believe it was possible because she was an old lady. Isaac’s the one that inherits the promise and Ishmael is cast off. It seems like it’s a horrible thing to do, you know, it’s a horrible thing to do. You’re all worried about the fact that who’s a literal blood relative or not. So it was really terrible thing to do. But we can learn something from it, because in scripture, we learn that that firstborn usually isn’t such a great, great thing.

Adam was the firstborn son of God. Look what happened with him, right? He brought death into the world. In Adam, all men die. That means we all come in here, we take upon ourselves the sins of the world. Because the scripture says that we’re crucified with Christ. We begin to think that we are, you know, the person that they say we are. We start to believe the values that were imposed on us. And we start to, you know, believe the way that the churches tell us to believe. And we become this first idea of who we really are, which is expressed in Adam.

Adam, firstborn Adam. He brings death into the world. But then the second Adam, the second born Jesus Christ, brings life. Abraham has these two sons. Firstborn was Ishmael. Born of a slave. Born of a slave. Like we have the slave mentality in the world. We’re not free men and women yet, because we haven’t really been set free the way God sets a person free. That first idea, who we are is not usually the one that inherits the kingdom. It’s the one that comes after. John the Baptist said, the one that comes after me is greater than me.

So much greater that I can’t tie the shoe. The latchet of a sandal. I can’t do it. That’s how much more important the second born is. Isaac was the second born. Why would God. You know, this is it. You’re. You’re gonna. You gotta go kill your son. Prove yourself to me. Why would God do this? It’s an important story. Brought death into the world. Second born is the shepherd. And the story goes on again. Isaac has two sons, Esau and Jacob. Esau was a hunter. He was a killer. You get the idea of that bestial, carnal nature where we first come in and we’re like, we’re gonna.

We’re gonna take over the world, you know, for the gospel. We’re gonna do it. And if they don’t listen, pop them in the nose, right? That’s that first idea where you take in the kingdom of God by force. That’s what the scripture says. By. By John. John was the precursor to Jesus. He was the last in the kingdom of God. Less than the least in the kingdom of God, but of men born, of women, of mankind. He was the greatest religious man. It’s a picture firstborn, second born. All through scripture, Joseph has two sons. Manasseh is the firstborn.

He was right when. When they brought the two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim, to Jacob to bless. Now, remember that Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh because the first part of Joseph’s life was kind of crappy. You know, he was kind of crappy. He was bullied, he was picked on. He was imprisoned, horrible Things happened to this guy. Falsely accused. But then the second part of Joseph’s life, he’s blessed. That’s why he named the second born Ephraim Manasseh. Because you made me forget the past and then you’re blessed. The firstborn, the second born, Manasseh and Ephraim. When Joseph brought them to Jacob on his deathbed, Jacob didn’t reach out his hand.

Usually the firstborn would get the inheritance. Usually it would be Esau that got the inheritance, but it was Jacob. Usually it would be would be Manasseh that would get the blessing from the father. But it turned out it was Ephraim. Second born, firstborn, second born. All through scripture, even Jacob had two women. First wife that he had that he wanted to marry Rachel, but he got tricked into marrying Leah. Leah is the first. And then he had the second born sister, Rachel. Why am I saying all this? Because we can understand a lot spiritually through these stories because they relate to us.

Abram was once Abram until he became Abraham. I wasn’t always Jacob Israel. I was always. I had the first name Jacob all the time. But then I was inspired to take the last name because I didn’t want to be the person that I thought that I was or the people that they told me that I was the way I was. You know, the loser, the weirder or this that I was, or the sick person person that I was. I didn’t want to be that. So God gave me a new name. And many times sometimes I kind of forget it because it’s easy.

It’s easy to, when you’re going through a hard time, to forget the blessings of God. The blessings of God are strong. And God’s not going to tempt you and test you to kill your son to prove it. Now, you got to understand something about Abram. At this time, you know, before all this happened, he left. He left everything that he knew. Kind of like when I lived, you know, I lived in Connecticut and then I ended up going to New York. And then I ended up going, leaving everything that I knew and went to Texas. And then now I’m back again.

God will take us and place us across the country for whatever reason to work on us. And then he’ll say, okay, now you go back. Abram was one of those people. He just had faith. He didn’t have a Bible. He didn’t have the scriptures to read. He didn’t have like some church to go to. And in fact, they had all these pagan gods all over the place. He was in a relationship with God. And he was a fearful man. Even though he would bless everyone out of him, all nations would be blessed. It’s an important story.

But they have this one story about him where God is telling him, you need to come. And then. So he saddles up his son, he tells his son Isaac, come on, son. Now, by the way, he wouldn’t be like a five year old or seven year. He’d be in his 30s. So this would be like a man at this point in time, he’s like, get the wood. We’re going to go up to Mount Moriah, which means the place that God sends you. And we’re going to. We’re going to give the sacrifice to the Lord. And Isaac says to Abram, he says, well, where’s the sacrifice? And Abram says something that is telling and is the first clue that he knew he wasn’t going to be killing his son.

He said, God will provide. God said to Abraham, I want you to sacrifice your son Isaac for me. But was it really the God, the one true God, or was it a translation from another word, which is a plural word, which means like demigods, like rulers, divine rulers. They’re called the Elohim. You may not know about them, you may not have heard about them, but many times in scripture, when you see the name, you know, when you see the word God or the name God, that could be one of many different names that don’t mean the same thing.

Elohim is a plural word. Imagine we’re in a spiritual battle, right? There are angels and they’re demons and all of this stuff. Imagine. Imagine that maybe there are. That God created another species that is far more superior and far older and vaster and have been around maybe thousands of years that had a hand in creation. There’s a lot of evidence in scripture that this could be the case. God used angels and demons. He’d even send the spirit of lies into the mouths of the prophets if a king went wrong. God does all of these things. God, the Lord God, the one true God.

Another name for that is Jehovah, which means the existing one. Because let me tell you something, it may not have literally been the existing one that told, you know, abram, come on up. But it was the existing one that said, don’t you raise your hand to the boy. People are taught all sorts of nonsense. They get these vibes. They think the Lord told them they have to do this. The Lord told me that if I don’t go to the church at 9:45 and dig that ditch for Pastor Robbie. I’m not into the kingdom of God. All sorts of weird things.

The Lord told me that I need to flog myself, which is what people do. This isn’t God speaking, people. There are things that you probably do because you’ve. Out of. Out of guilt or whatever, a thought will come in and will tell you. Like, I’ll give you an example. There’s a scripture that says unless you deny yourself. And people think that that word deny means deprive, right? It doesn’t mean deprive. And I’m not talking about debauchery. Like, you could just live a terrible, terrible life. I don’t live that way. I’m saying you can live a very full, fulfilled life without being deprived of that joy.

But the word isn’t deprived. It is deny. And what does deny mean? And what is your self but an idea of who you think you are unless you’re willing to deny yourself? See, it’s a picture. Just as Abraham went about to establish that first son, like God gave me a promise, I’m going to do it by my hands. And he creates an ishmael that ends up, you know, turning everything on its head. God does that with us. Now, ironically, this is in Genesis chapter 22, which is the TAV. Sometime later, God tested Abraham. Now, what do we learn today? God does not tempt person.

God does not test a person. So what we do is we go and we click on that word in an engine called studylight.org and you click on interlinear Bible. And it’ll bring up moons and it’ll bring up strongs, and all of these things will take the words and give you the literal meaning from the original language. You’d be surprised at how many words are in this Bible that don’t even exist. That’s literally added later. Genesis 22. Sometime later, God tested Abraham. He said to him, abraham, here am I. He replied. Then God said, and once again, it’s not God, it’s Elohim.

So now it’s more like, let’s just replace it with the divine rulers or the Judges. We’ll call them the Judges, like the Watchers, right? We’ll call them that. Sometime later, the Judges tested Abraham. They said to him, abraham, here I am. He replied. Then the Judges said, take your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the region of Moriah, sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain. I will show you. Now, I want to give you an alternate meaning for this. That is spiritual A burnt offering. They say that the smoke that rises from the burnt offering, they are the prayers of the saints.

The mountain that is called Moriah means I want you to go to a place where God is sending you and I want you to offer prayers to God. Do you see? There’s a little bit more to the story than just a surface level. Read. Sacrifice him there. Now remember, sacrifice means to what? Sacrifice. Does it mean to kill? No, a sacrifice is meant to be raised up to the Lord. It’s an offering. So where do we get this whole let’s go murder your son stuff from? Early the next morning, Abraham got up and he loaded his donkey and he took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac.

When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out to the place God told him about. On the third day, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. When you look up, okay, God says, I want you to, you know, I want you to take what I’ve given you. I want you to go where I told you to go, and I want you to sacrifice. I want you to raise it up for me. And Abraham stands there and he looks up and he sees that place that God is sending him to.

In the distance, I see that place, this gift that you’ve given me. I see it just like my novel, which, by the way, is available on Amazon.com I see it. Lord, it’s in the distance. If only every one of them will go buy a copy@Amazon.com it has like just over a thousand five star reviews. It’ll be the best novel you ever read. Click the link in the description below. I’ll play a video trailer at the end just in case you’re new. Back to the story. See it? I see it in the distance, Lord, he said to his servants, stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there.

We will worship. Now isn’t that funny? The very first time that the word worship is ever used in scripture, it’s there today. You think worship is going like this? Hallelujah. Lord, I love it. All the music so good. Everything says worship. That’s not worship. To worship God is to take the promise that he’s given you to given me. And to go where God is telling you to go and sacrifice it. Raise it up so that the world can see it. So he says to his servants, stay with the donkey. Why? And the boy go over, we’ll worship and then we’ll come back to you.

So there you go. He says, we’ll Worship and we’ll come back to you. How did he know if he was meant to go kill his son? Why would he say this? He’s waiting on God to give that sacrifice. He’s waiting on this. Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering, placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and knife. And as the two of them went together, Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, father. Yes, my son? Abraham replied, the fire and the wood is here. Isaac said, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering? Abraham answered, God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.

This is the second time he’s saying God’s going to provide, but yet you’d think Abraham is providing, isn’t he? And the two went on together. When they reached the place God had told them about, Samaria, the mountain, Abraham built an altar there. It’s kind of like when I moved back to Long Island, I built this altar here. This isn’t anything. What an altar is, is if you’re doing something in the name of God and for the love of God. You know, if you’re building, if you’re establishing a place where you can do things to spread the gospel, it’s like building an altar.

So imagine he did that there. See, the problem is sometimes we make mistakes. We get to the place where God wants us to be, and then what we do is we actually bind our son. We bind it. We actually. We actually, you know, kind of like, we. God puts this thing in my heart where it says, you know, it’s going to go here, but I’m like, oh, it’s probably not going to go because there’s censorship on YouTube. We bind, right? We bind it. And then we think, oh, I gotta just dump the whole channel and I gotta go get a job selling mattresses again because I’m not getting enough people supporting me on Patreon and everything else.

By the way, if you want, we do a meetup every other week. Sometimes you can end up getting on the show. It’s like five bucks, you know, or you could do more. Whatever else, Patreon, those who are on my patrons or my PayPal and everything else. I don’t say this enough. Thank you very much. This is like 75% will say 75%. Well, maybe like 60% completely funded by all of you. That’s the truth. When you get the merch, when you get the novel, when you, you know, when you get the truly free home product, when you.

When you support me on patreon and on PayPal. I appreciate it, okay? I appreciate it because it is. It is. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to do it. And. And because of it, I’m able to do even more. When they reached the place God had told them, Abraham built an altar there. And he arranged the wood on it. And then he bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar on top of the wood. Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. But when the angel of the Lord called out from heaven, abraham, Abraham.

Here I am, Lord, he replied, do not lay a hand on the boy. He said, do not do anything to him. Now, I know that you fear God, but he doesn’t mean God. I know you fear the Elohim, the Lord. The angel of the Lord was the message of the existing, one different God. 1. God’s rulers Judges tell them to do something, and then they say, you gotta dump the whole thing. Kind of like me thinking, I got to go back to selling mattresses and I should be done with all this, right? But what am I doing? I’m at the place God told me to be.

I’m where God said I should be. Here I am, Lord. I cry. And I’m like, thinking, I got. I just dump the whole channel. Move on, get. Go back to the world of giving people the best night’s sleep, which is a really great career, by the way. My son Noah’s doing very, very fantastic. You want a job and you want to make good money. You want to help people. Selling mattresses is. It’s actually pretty. Pretty rewarding. But God, the Lord, the existing one, said, do not put your hand on the boy. Now, I know that you fear God because you have not withheld your son, your only son.

Abraham looked up, and there in a thicket, he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it, a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place, the Lord will provide. And to this day, on the mountain of the Lord, it will be provided. That’s in the book of Genesis. That’s chapter. That’s chapter 22. Sometimes the. The. The enemy can come disguised as an angel of light. But there’s another story being told here. What has God given you? What has God placed in your heart? You know, that.

That you just thought you had to go about establishing your own. I can’t tell you how many times I beg people, please hit the like, please share, please. I’m trying to go. That’s kind of like what. What Abraham and Sarah did. They’re trying to do it like this is. I gotta, I gotta make sure I get on this show or that show. Should I get more subscribers? This is going about to establish what God has blessed me with and said I’m going to give. You just need to be patient. We need to trust God. And I feel like today is the day where you can trust God more than ever.

So this is what you should do. Ask God for the truth no matter what the cost. I was going to wear that shirt today, but I only have a medium. I don’t know why I have a medium. I’m like so much heavy. I got to order some extra large shirts. I must have wore it like a couple of years ago. But this is, this is, this is pretty tight too. I know, I know, but if you want to get any of the merch, go to the description of the video and everything else you know. But if you want the truth, you ask for it.

God, give me the truth. Lead me, guide me. Just remember, God is not going to ask you to kill your kid, okay? He’s not going to ask you to give up on your dreams. You see what the meaning of the story is? It’s always when you don’t expect it. And I have a feeling 2025 is going to be the year of the unexpected. All right, I love each and every one of you. Hit the like button, subscribe, share channel around. And if you want more videos like this, which is like, this is like my favorite thing to do.

Sometimes the stuff that’s going on in the world is so, you know, just so, so dark and spooky. Sometimes it’s too dark. This stuff I love. So let me know in the comment section if you’d like more and if you learned something today. I love you all. I’ll talk to you soon. Bye bye. The teachers teach for hire. The evangelists speak of either no responsibility or infinite fire for gain. They were made fun name they claim the truth while proving to be liars and I loyal oh, I feel like a spider land A giant seeking day and night I’m feeling like I’m never going to find it because you’re a truth all alone Few seem to want to buy it.

They build out of the reputations they’ve killed A kingdom that will become a funeral pyre for the behavior of those who claim to be God. I have truly grown tired. When Lord, when will you show the world? If they be corrupt, they will be fired or else how will they know your kingdom in this life they never know until this type of behavior they retire and I Lord, oh, I feel like a spinal and a giant Seeking day and night and feeling like I’m never going to find it because you’re a truth all off you seem to want to buy it but here I am a loyal, I am a broken and being prayerful man Crazy is never misleading Here I am, do your will but please tell me and others to find this meaning show them, grow them, leave them for you are far better than me A worthless word recognizing to create harm in me so one day God of Jacob is the God of eternity Jesus.
