“And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep. And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed (to be realized in His Millennial Kingdom); And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. (See Zechariah 8:23, which also speaks of the preeminence of the Jews during the Millennial Kingdom) And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of.” [Genesis 28:10-15]

The dream of Jacob (with right of first-born) alludes to a past day when Adam was created in the image of God and before him was set the ‘first-born’ right of Kingdom rule on Earth. Adam being in unhindered communion with the Creator… in that God said directly, without mediator, “…be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion… over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.” And then Jacob’s ‘dream’ directly speaks to the future days of the Second Adam (Jesus) when He, as the Son of Man, will have attained the ‘First-Born’ right and blessing again for man, obtaining all authority in heaven and earth and fulfilling Adam’s calling.

Adam’s creation was a point of satan’s/Lucifer’s great contention with God… in that ‘Man’ was given privilege to stand in a place of authority, which was once occupied by himself (Lucifer, a spirit and a higher created being) and his angel hierarchy, before his fall, in this Realm’s heaven and earth. That prideful contention and lust for lost authority led to his tempting and ruining ‘Man’ in his Calling, now lost. Scripture reveals without any speculation how that seeming ‘victory’ unwittingly would lead him to disastrously affect his own eternal destiny. (Genesis 3:15… “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” See also 1st Corinthians… “Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”) Mankind’s and Angels’ destinies were interwoven together, as has been proclaimed by the recorded words of the Son of Man.

The Son of God the Son of Man… is the Savior of the Lost seed of Adam, the Condemner of the wicked… the Messiah of Israel (Luke 1:32-33… “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.”); He is also the Bridegroom of the loving faithful follower (Revelation 19:7-9… “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” Note that these stand before the Bridegroom with their own righteousness, and not just imputed righteousness.)… Who, by His Atonement offering, encompasses all these titles/offices. (This is a foundational understanding).

Symbolized by the ladder from heaven to earth, Jesus, the Promised Seed, ‘Son of Jacob’ brings Jacob’s dream 1800 years later to the prophetic forefront… in John 1:47-51… “Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite (‘Israelite’ meaning a son of Jacob) indeed, in whom is no guile (an allusion to Jacob’s personal spiritual maturing from guile/deception unto his new name; Israel)! Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee (Jesus, the......
