God met with Jacob and gave him a greater blessing than his father, Isaac, had given him.
\nI cannot recall a time when I did not receive a blessing when I meet with God? After all,
\n“Every good gift and every perfect (free, large, full) gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of all [that gives] light, in [the shining of] Whom there can be no variation [rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [as in an eclipse]. He is the author of all good and perfect gifts.” James 1:17 Amplified Bible (AMP)<\/p>\n
Genesis 28:13-15
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n13 And behold, the Lord stood over and beside him and said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father [forefather] and the God of Isaac; I will give to you and to your descendants the land on which you are lying.
\n14 And your offspring shall be as [countless as] the dust or sand of the ground, and you shall spread abroad to the west and the east and the north and the south; and by you and your Offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed and bless themselves.
\n15 And behold, I am with you and will keep (watch over you with care, take notice of) you wherever you may go, and I will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done all of which I have told you.<\/p>\n
Psalm 113:5-8
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n5 Who is like the Lord our God, Who has His seat on high,
\n6 Who humbles Himself to regard the heavens and the earth!
\n7 [The Lord] raises the poor out of the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap and the dung hill,
\n8 That He may seat them with princes, even with the princes of His people.<\/p>\n
Proverbs 23:17-18
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n17 Let not your heart envy sinners, but continue in the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord all the day long.
\n18 For surely there is a latter end [a future and a reward], and your hope and expectation shall not be cut off.<\/p>\n
Prophecy of Christ and Fulfillment<\/p>\n
Zechariah 11:12
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n12 And I said to them, If it seems just and right to you, give me my wages; but if not, withhold them. So they weighed out for my price thirty pieces of silver.<\/p>\n
Matthew 26:14-15
\nAmplified Bible (AMP)
\n14 Then one of the Twelve [apostles], who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
\n15 And said, What are you willing to give me if I hand Him over to you? And they weighed out for and paid to him thirty pieces of silver [about twenty-one dollars and sixty cents.]<\/p>\n
