I. Jacob’s Flight to Haran.
He fled from an outraged brother.
His deceit and cunning got him into
trouble. Hie long exile from home
was the result of his selfish ambition.
“Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap." Rebekah made her plea
before Isaac for sending Jacob away,
stating her fear of Jacob’s probable
marriage with a daughter of Canaan,
when in reality she feared that Esau
would kill him. Isaac at once recog-
nized the wisdom of her suggestion.
He knew that the success or failure
of one’s life is largely determined by
his marriage. It was clear that if
Jacob were to continue in the line of
the covenant blessing care must be
exercised in his marriage. Besides, it
is a parental duty to see that chil-
dren are well married. Among Chris-
tians only marriage in the Lord is
allowable (I Cor. 7:89). Isaac, alive
to Jacob's destiny, issued his com-
mand and bestowed upon him the
covenant blessing which had come
from God Almighty to Abraham (Gen.
17:1). The elements embraced in this
blessing are:
(1) A numerous offspring (v. 8).
(2) Possession of the promised land
(v. 4).
(8) And everything that is included
in the Abrahamic covenant (Gen. 12:
1-8 and Gen. 15:1-8).
We should learn from the experi-
ence of Jacob.
1. Be sure your sin will find you
out.
Jacob deceived his father. He in
turn was deceived by his children.
2. That wrong home life has its
perils.
Isaac knew that the blessing was
to be Jacob's, yet he planned for Esau
to have the place of prominence. He
was willing for the sake of a little
venison to give to Esau that which
God had planned for Jacob.
II. Jacob at Bethel.
1. The Lord meets Jacob at Bethel
(vv. 10-15).
With a spirit clouded by home-
sickness on the one hand and by fear
on the other, he had a dream that
night in which God appeared to him.
In thia dream Jacob beheld a ladder or
stair reaching from earth to heaven,
upon which angels were ascending and
descending. Above the ladder stood
the Lord who spoke to him. This lad-
der suggests a means of communica-
tion between earth and heaven, be-
tween man and God. Jesus Christ
is the ladder which provides us a
means of communication with heaven
(John 1:51; 14:6; Heb. 10:19-20). Je-
sus became a real ladder to us, bridging
the chasm between earth and heaven.
He was a real man that He might
identify himself with the race. He is
very God, really divine, that He might
lift us up to God and secure a recon-
ciliation with Him. Earth and heaven,
man and God, were separated by the
introduction of sin, but through Christ
a means of intercourse is re-estab-
lished. This vision suggested to Jacob
that the only approach to God was
through a mediator. The angels as-
sending and descending are heavenly
messengers which are aent to minister
to man through the mediatory work as
Christ (Heb. 1:14). God spoke to him
from the top of the ladder and assured
him that Ha la the God who entered
into covenant with Abroham and re-
newed the same unto his father Isaac
(v. 18). Thia assurance embraced the
following:
(1) The possession of the land (v.
18). /
(2) A numerous offspring (v. 14).
(8) The promise of His personal
presence and preservation (v. 15).
This promise was fulfilled in a mar-
velous way with Jacob and is still be-
ing fulfilled with his seed.
/III. Jacob’s Vow to the Lord (vv.
6-22).
He set up as a monument the stone
which he had had for a pillow. He
named the place Bethel, which means
the house of God. Jacob now vowed
that since God had so graciously obli-
gated himself to perform all this for
him, he would enthrone God as the
Lord of his life and give back to Him
one-tenth of all that was given to him.
Borrowing From God
Of all created comforts God is the
lender; you are the borrower, not the
owner.----Rutherford.
His Word Alone
One monarch to obey, one creed to
own; that monarch God, that creed
His Word alone.
Safety Valves
Tears are the safety valves of the
heart when too much pressure is laid
on it.

Why Flag le Flown Astern
The origin of the custom of placing
a United States flag at the stern of
a ship is obscure. Several theories
have been advanced, one of the most
substantial being that, in the case of
old sailing vessels, the flag was flown
over the captain’s quarters, which are
aft on board ship.
Worth Knowing
If you ever find the silver polish
bottle empty when you are going to
have a party, ordinary tooth paste will
clean silver beautifully and will help
you out in an emergency.
