00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.020
We'd<00:00:01.040><c> be</c><00:00:01.199><c> pleased</c><00:00:01.379><c> to</c><00:00:01.540><c> hear</c><00:00:01.639><c> now</c><00:00:01.820><c> from</c><00:00:02.000><c> Brother</c><00:00:02.259><c> Ben</c><00:00:02.540><c> on</c><00:00:02.859><c> his</c>

00:00:03.020 --> 00:00:05.459
topic<00:00:03.259><c> of</c><00:00:03.940><c> Jacob</c><00:00:04.240><c> confronts</c><00:00:04.799><c> Esau.</c>

00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:09.439
Well<00:00:07.339><c> good</c><00:00:07.480><c> morning</c><00:00:07.719><c> my</c><00:00:07.940><c> brothers</c><00:00:08.140><c> and</c><00:00:08.300><c> sisters.</c>

00:00:11.539 --> 00:00:15.580
So<00:00:11.580><c> if</c><00:00:11.720><c> Jacob</c><00:00:11.939><c> felt</c><00:00:12.160><c> any</c><00:00:12.439><c> relief</c><00:00:12.779><c> at</c><00:00:13.000><c> all,</c><00:00:14.519><c> having</c><00:00:14.820><c> departed</c>

00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:18.739
from<00:00:16.019><c> his</c><00:00:16.339><c> father</c><00:00:16.579><c>-in</c><00:00:16.820><c>-law</c><00:00:16.820><c> Laban,</c><00:00:18.460><c> probably</c>

00:00:18.739 --> 00:00:27.179
didn't<00:00:18.960><c> feel</c><00:00:19.079><c> for</c><00:00:19.219><c> very</c><00:00:19.519><c> long,</c><00:00:22.879><c> because</c><00:00:23.100><c> a</c><00:00:23.339><c> terrifying</c><00:00:23.839><c> prospect</c><00:00:24.339><c> of</c><00:00:24.539><c> meeting</c><00:00:24.920><c> Esau</c><00:00:25.780><c> was</c><00:00:26.559><c> just</c><00:00:26.920><c> on</c>

00:00:27.179 --> 00:00:27.760
the<00:00:27.339><c> horizon.</c>

00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:33.219
But<00:00:28.039><c> we</c><00:00:29.420><c> can</c><00:00:29.739><c> guess</c><00:00:30.000><c> into</c><00:00:30.239><c> Jacob's</c><00:00:30.559><c> state</c><00:00:30.739><c> of</c><00:00:30.980><c> mind,</c><00:00:33.100><c> because</c>

00:00:33.219 --> 00:00:34.219
the<00:00:33.420><c> first</c><00:00:33.539><c> thing</c><00:00:33.659><c> we're</c><00:00:33.899><c> told</c><00:00:33.960><c> as</c><00:00:34.119><c> the</c>

00:00:34.219 --> 00:00:36.780
record<00:00:34.380><c> begins</c><00:00:34.700><c> in</c><00:00:34.880><c> Genesis</c><00:00:35.140><c> 32</c><00:00:35.640><c> is</c><00:00:35.820><c> that</c><00:00:35.960><c> the</c><00:00:36.140><c> angels</c><00:00:36.340><c> of</c><00:00:36.600><c> God</c>

00:00:36.780 --> 00:00:37.979
met<00:00:37.020><c> Jacob.</c>

00:00:38.240 --> 00:00:44.039
Now<00:00:38.439><c> these</c><00:00:38.560><c> had</c><00:00:38.759><c> been</c><00:00:38.859><c> the</c><00:00:39.079><c> very</c><00:00:39.399><c> angels</c><00:00:39.659><c> of</c><00:00:39.939><c> God</c><00:00:40.140><c> that</c><00:00:40.340><c> had</c><00:00:40.579><c> arranged</c><00:00:41.219><c> with</c><00:00:41.899><c> Laban</c><00:00:43.520><c> in</c>

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:45.039
a<00:00:44.299><c> dream</c><00:00:44.719><c> that</c>

00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.780
he<00:00:45.240><c> ought</c><00:00:45.359><c> not</c><00:00:45.560><c> to</c><00:00:45.820><c> touch</c><00:00:46.259><c> Jacob</c><00:00:46.679><c> nor</c><00:00:47.060><c> speak</c><00:00:47.359><c> good</c><00:00:47.600><c> nor</c><00:00:47.920><c> evil.</c>

00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.100
They'd<00:00:49.679><c> be</c><00:00:49.820><c> the</c><00:00:49.939><c> very</c><00:00:50.159><c> angels</c><00:00:50.399><c> of</c><00:00:50.659><c> God</c><00:00:50.899><c> that</c><00:00:51.119><c> would</c><00:00:51.340><c> protect</c>

00:00:52.100 --> 00:00:55.159
Jacob<00:00:52.700><c> from</c><00:00:53.000><c> Esau</c><00:00:53.579><c> in</c><00:00:53.799><c> the</c><00:00:53.920><c> next</c><00:00:54.159><c> chapter.</c>

00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:58.820
And<00:00:56.240><c> Jacob</c><00:00:56.640><c> recognizes</c><00:00:57.159><c> they're</c><00:00:57.479><c> not</c><00:00:57.740><c> merely</c><00:00:58.060><c> angels,</c><00:00:58.659><c> they</c>

00:00:58.820 --> 00:01:00.500
are<00:00:59.119><c> a</c><00:00:59.479><c> host.</c>

00:01:01.020 --> 00:01:08.099
Now<00:01:01.299><c> Psalm</c><00:01:01.619><c> 46</c><00:01:02.579><c> says,</c><00:01:06.000><c> God</c><00:01:06.000><c> is</c><00:01:06.280><c> our</c><00:01:06.599><c> refuge</c><00:01:06.920><c> and</c><00:01:07.260><c> strength,</c><00:01:07.719><c> a</c>

00:01:08.099 --> 00:01:12.079
very<00:01:08.700><c> present</c><00:01:09.180><c> help</c><00:01:09.659><c> in</c><00:01:11.120><c> trouble,</c><00:01:11.680><c> therefore</c>

00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:13.739
we<00:01:12.379><c> will</c><00:01:12.640><c> not</c><00:01:12.920><c> fear.</c>

00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:20.040
But<00:01:14.459><c> continuing</c><00:01:14.659><c> on</c><00:01:14.819><c> to</c><00:01:14.920><c> verse</c><00:01:15.140><c> 10</c><00:01:15.319><c> it</c><00:01:15.540><c> says,</c><00:01:16.299><c> be</c><00:01:16.480><c> still</c><00:01:17.480><c> and</c><00:01:18.799><c> know</c><00:01:19.280><c> that</c><00:01:19.560><c> I</c>

00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:21.379
am<00:01:20.340><c> God.</c>

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.140
I<00:01:23.439><c> will</c><00:01:23.579><c> be</c><00:01:23.840><c> exalted</c><00:01:24.200><c> amongst</c><00:01:24.439><c> the</c><00:01:24.700><c> heathen,</c><00:01:25.060><c> I</c><00:01:25.140><c> will</c><00:01:25.319><c> be</c><00:01:25.599><c> exalted</c><00:01:25.939><c> in</c>

00:01:26.140 --> 00:01:28.900
the<00:01:26.239><c> earth,</c><00:01:26.819><c> the</c><00:01:27.140><c> Lord</c><00:01:27.540><c> of</c><00:01:27.840><c> hosts</c>

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:35.500
is<00:01:29.640><c> with</c><00:01:29.900><c> us,</c><00:01:31.640><c> the</c><00:01:31.819><c> God</c><00:01:31.980><c> of</c><00:01:32.239><c> Jacob</c><00:01:32.739><c> is</c><00:01:34.079><c> our</c><00:01:34.420><c> refuge.</c>

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:43.120
Now<00:01:37.280><c> perhaps</c><00:01:37.879><c> it's</c><00:01:38.140><c> irony,</c><00:01:38.719><c> but</c><00:01:38.819><c> here</c><00:01:39.120><c> in</c><00:01:39.500><c> Genesis</c><00:01:39.719><c> 32,</c><00:01:41.480><c> God</c><00:01:41.819><c> meets</c><00:01:42.180><c> Jacob</c><00:01:42.579><c> as</c><00:01:42.840><c> a</c>

00:01:43.120 --> 00:01:44.900
host<00:01:43.459><c> of</c><00:01:43.840><c> angels,</c><00:01:44.680><c> a</c>

00:01:44.900 --> 00:01:48.159
large<00:01:45.120><c> company,</c><00:01:45.480><c> like</c><00:01:45.659><c> an</c><00:01:45.900><c> army</c><00:01:46.180><c> of</c><00:01:46.439><c> angels,</c><00:01:47.459><c> and</c><00:01:47.640><c> God's</c><00:01:47.900><c> going</c><00:01:47.980><c> to</c>

00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:49.459
protect<00:01:48.480><c> Jacob.</c>

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:53.700
But<00:01:49.920><c> unlike</c><00:01:50.359><c> the</c><00:01:50.700><c> Psalm,</c><00:01:52.180><c> Jacob</c><00:01:52.420><c> does</c><00:01:52.780><c> fear.</c>

00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.640
Unlike<00:01:54.879><c> the</c><00:01:55.319><c> Psalm,</c><00:01:56.900><c> he</c><00:01:57.060><c> is</c><00:01:57.340><c> not</c><00:01:57.700><c> still.</c>

00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:06.200
He<00:02:00.040><c> has</c><00:02:00.299><c> been</c><00:02:00.519><c> afraid</c><00:02:01.239><c> of</c><00:02:01.920><c> this</c><00:02:02.340><c> very</c><00:02:03.120><c> moment,</c><00:02:05.140><c> since</c><00:02:05.439><c> the</c><00:02:05.680><c> moment</c><00:02:05.939><c> he</c>

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.199
left<00:02:06.459><c> the</c><00:02:06.760><c> tents</c><00:02:06.900><c> of</c><00:02:07.099><c> his</c><00:02:07.299><c> father</c>

00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:11.939
and<00:02:09.180><c> prayed</c><00:02:09.539><c> that</c><00:02:09.740><c> if</c><00:02:09.960><c> God</c><00:02:10.379><c> would</c><00:02:10.800><c> bring</c><00:02:10.919><c> him</c><00:02:11.159><c> safely</c><00:02:11.539><c> again</c>

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:14.479
to<00:02:12.199><c> the</c><00:02:13.000><c> the</c><00:02:13.159><c> tents</c><00:02:13.259><c> of</c><00:02:13.439><c> his</c><00:02:13.620><c> father,</c>

00:02:14.819 --> 00:02:16.400
the<00:02:15.300><c> God</c><00:02:15.580><c> will</c><00:02:15.800><c> be</c><00:02:15.819><c> his</c><00:02:16.060><c> God.</c>

00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:21.199
And<00:02:16.780><c> he</c><00:02:17.000><c> prayed</c><00:02:17.199><c> it</c><00:02:17.360><c> because</c><00:02:17.460><c> he</c><00:02:17.599><c> was</c><00:02:17.840><c> terrified</c><00:02:18.599><c> that</c><00:02:19.460><c> it</c><00:02:19.599><c> might</c><00:02:19.819><c> not</c><00:02:20.099><c> happen.</c>

00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.060
Does<00:02:25.500><c> the</c><00:02:25.780><c> Psalm</c><00:02:26.020><c> mention</c><00:02:26.400><c> the</c><00:02:26.620><c> God</c><00:02:26.860><c> of</c><00:02:27.099><c> Jacob</c><00:02:27.340><c> because</c><00:02:27.719><c> Jacob</c>

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:29.539
was<00:02:28.379><c> fearless?</c>

00:02:31.419 --> 00:02:31.960
Clearly<00:02:31.659><c> not.</c>

00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:37.639
I<00:02:32.120><c> think</c><00:02:32.319><c> the</c><00:02:32.580><c> Psalm</c><00:02:32.740><c> is</c><00:02:33.039><c> saying</c><00:02:33.580><c> that</c><00:02:35.400><c> a</c><00:02:35.599><c> God</c><00:02:35.860><c> that</c><00:02:36.020><c> could</c><00:02:36.120><c> help</c><00:02:36.340><c> Jacob</c><00:02:36.960><c> is</c>

00:02:37.639 --> 00:02:39.280
a<00:02:37.819><c> God</c><00:02:38.000><c> that</c><00:02:38.099><c> can</c><00:02:38.219><c> be</c><00:02:38.439><c> trusted.</c>

00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:42.860
So<00:02:41.199><c> let's</c><00:02:41.319><c> see</c><00:02:41.460><c> how</c><00:02:41.599><c> this</c><00:02:41.860><c> plays</c><00:02:42.039><c> out</c><00:02:42.259><c> in</c><00:02:42.340><c> this</c><00:02:42.520><c> chapter.</c>

00:02:42.860 --> 00:02:50.599
So<00:02:43.740><c> Jacob</c><00:02:44.539><c> sends</c><00:02:45.580><c> messengers</c><00:02:46.060><c> to</c><00:02:46.360><c> Esau,</c><00:02:49.319><c> and</c><00:02:49.479><c> he</c><00:02:49.639><c> commands</c><00:02:50.039><c> them</c><00:02:50.340><c> to</c>

00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:52.120
say<00:02:50.780><c> something</c><00:02:51.120><c> very</c><00:02:51.699><c> interesting</c>

00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:52.599

00:03:01.780 --> 00:03:06.840
He<00:03:01.919><c> says,</c><00:03:03.680><c> Jacob</c><00:03:03.939><c> commands</c><00:03:04.300><c> the</c><00:03:04.539><c> messengers,</c><00:03:05.020><c> go</c><00:03:05.099><c> to</c><00:03:05.280><c> Esau</c><00:03:05.439><c> and</c><00:03:05.639><c> say</c><00:03:05.840><c> this,</c><00:03:06.659><c> I</c>

00:03:27.659 --> 00:03:28.900
He<00:03:27.979><c> certainly</c><00:03:28.180><c> isn't</c><00:03:28.400><c> bragging.</c>

00:03:28.919 --> 00:03:32.039
He's<00:03:29.080><c> not</c><00:03:29.259><c> trying</c><00:03:29.439><c> to</c><00:03:29.520><c> say</c><00:03:29.659><c> to</c><00:03:29.840><c> Esau,</c><00:03:30.379><c> hey,</c><00:03:30.520><c> look,</c><00:03:30.759><c> look</c><00:03:31.060><c> how</c><00:03:31.340><c> wealthy</c><00:03:31.680><c> I</c>

00:03:32.460 --> 00:03:34.500
I've<00:03:32.680><c> really</c><00:03:32.900><c> made</c><00:03:33.120><c> something</c><00:03:33.419><c> of</c><00:03:33.599><c> myself,</c><00:03:34.139><c> haven't</c><00:03:34.360><c> I?</c>

00:03:34.659 --> 00:03:37.080
I<00:03:34.919><c> don't</c><00:03:35.060><c> think</c><00:03:35.199><c> that's</c><00:03:35.539><c> his</c><00:03:35.719><c> reason</c><00:03:35.960><c> at</c><00:03:36.219><c> all.</c>

00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:49.240
He's<00:03:39.759><c> telling</c><00:03:40.020><c> Esau</c><00:03:40.719><c> that</c><00:03:42.479><c> he</c><00:03:42.780><c> has</c><00:03:43.259><c> no</c><00:03:44.180><c> need</c><00:03:44.800><c> of</c><00:03:46.360><c> Esau's</c><00:03:46.900><c> money,</c><00:03:48.979><c> that</c>

God<00:03:49.599><c> has</c><00:03:49.919><c> blessed</c><00:03:50.139><c> him</c><00:03:50.419><c> richly.</c>

00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:56.340
Esau<00:03:52.639><c> doesn't</c><00:03:52.960><c> need</c><00:03:53.219><c> to</c><00:03:53.340><c> have</c><00:03:53.539><c> any</c><00:03:54.240><c> further</c><00:03:54.699><c> worries</c><00:03:55.400><c> about</c>

Esau's<00:04:04.419><c> expense.</c>

00:04:06.159 --> 00:04:08.560
That's<00:04:06.580><c> why</c><00:04:06.740><c> he's</c><00:04:07.020><c> telling</c><00:04:07.180><c> that</c><00:04:07.419><c> to</c><00:04:07.639><c> Esau.</c>

00:04:10.500 --> 00:04:14.539
Now,<00:04:11.300><c> the</c><00:04:11.520><c> messengers</c><00:04:11.860><c> return</c><00:04:12.539><c> to</c><00:04:12.840><c> Jacob</c><00:04:13.219><c> and</c><00:04:13.960><c> they</c><00:04:14.099><c> say</c><00:04:14.219><c> that</c>

00:04:14.539 --> 00:04:20.120
Esau<00:04:14.780><c> is</c><00:04:15.120><c> coming</c><00:04:15.479><c> with</c><00:04:16.480><c> 400</c><00:04:17.959><c> men</c>

and<00:04:21.560><c> Jacob</c><00:04:21.980><c> is</c><00:04:22.680><c> both</c><00:04:22.980><c> afraid</c><00:04:23.459><c> and</c><00:04:23.779><c> distressed.</c>

00:04:25.759 --> 00:04:27.100
Of<00:04:26.560><c> course</c><00:04:26.779><c> he</c><00:04:26.899><c> is.</c>

00:04:27.180 --> 00:04:29.500
I<00:04:27.180><c> mean,</c><00:04:28.199><c> consider</c><00:04:28.600><c> this.</c>

00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:40.139
Why<00:04:34.060><c> take</c><00:04:34.759><c> 400</c><00:04:35.500><c> men</c><00:04:36.319><c> to</c><00:04:37.040><c> meet</c><00:04:37.240><c> Jacob</c><00:04:37.779><c> and</c><00:04:39.319><c> you</c><00:04:39.519><c> just</c><00:04:39.839><c> want</c><00:04:40.000><c> to</c>

00:04:40.139 --> 00:04:41.579
get<00:04:40.360><c> reacquainted?</c>

00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:50.180
Further,<00:04:46.439><c> if</c><00:04:46.579><c> Esau's</c><00:04:47.259><c> intentions</c><00:04:47.899><c> were</c><00:04:48.459><c> merely</c><00:04:48.899><c> peaceful,</c>

00:04:50.620 --> 00:04:54.500
why<00:04:50.920><c> not</c><00:04:51.379><c> send</c><00:04:51.540><c> an</c><00:04:51.860><c> encouraging</c><00:04:52.379><c> word</c><00:04:52.800><c> with</c><00:04:53.060><c> Jacob's</c><00:04:53.600><c> messengers?</c>

00:04:55.399 --> 00:05:00.740
Hey,<00:04:56.439><c> go</c><00:04:56.819><c> tell</c><00:04:57.040><c> my</c><00:04:57.300><c> brother</c><00:04:57.620><c> Jacob</c><00:04:57.959><c> I'm</c><00:04:58.720><c> super</c><00:04:59.199><c> happy</c><00:04:59.540><c> to</c><00:04:59.740><c> meet</c><00:04:59.899><c> him.</c>

00:05:05.620 --> 00:05:10.540
If<00:05:06.300><c> Jacob's</c><00:05:06.839><c> messengers</c><00:05:07.100><c> were</c><00:05:07.439><c> sure</c><00:05:07.720><c> that</c><00:05:08.060><c> Esau</c><00:05:08.240><c> had</c><00:05:08.540><c> no</c><00:05:08.819><c> intention</c><00:05:09.300><c> for</c><00:05:09.699><c> malice,</c>

00:05:11.540 --> 00:05:16.519
why<00:05:12.019><c> would</c><00:05:12.220><c> they</c><00:05:12.579><c> not</c><00:05:12.899><c> pass</c><00:05:13.199><c> on</c><00:05:13.459><c> that</c><00:05:13.759><c> confidence</c><00:05:14.420><c> to</c><00:05:15.720><c> Jacob?</c>

00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:30.040
is<00:05:24.579><c> that</c><00:05:24.959><c> Esau</c><00:05:25.300><c> was</c><00:05:25.600><c> coming</c><00:05:26.319><c> to</c><00:05:28.439><c> settle</c><00:05:28.660><c> an</c><00:05:28.860><c> old</c><00:05:29.139><c> score,</c>

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:47.360
And<00:05:44.220><c> perhaps</c><00:05:44.759><c> Esau</c><00:05:45.379><c> had</c><00:05:45.639><c> another</c><00:05:45.939><c> motive</c><00:05:46.240><c> as</c><00:05:46.519><c> well.</c>

massive<00:06:08.560><c> flock.</c>

00:06:08.939 --> 00:06:13.800
We<00:06:09.100><c> know</c><00:06:09.360><c> that's</c><00:06:09.660><c> how</c><00:06:09.819><c> that</c><00:06:10.100><c> happened,</c><00:06:10.860><c> but</c><00:06:11.220><c> Esau</c><00:06:11.519><c> was</c><00:06:11.800><c> no</c><00:06:12.100><c> shepherd,</c><00:06:13.500><c> he</c>
