19 And this is the history of Isaac, the
son of Abraham. Abraham became father to Isaac.
20 And Isaac happened to be 40 years old at
his taking Rebekah, [the] daughter of Bethuel,
the Syrian from Paddan-aram, [the] sister of Laban, the Syrian, as
his wife.
21 And Isaac kept on entreating Jehovah
especially for his wife, because she was barren; so Jehovah let himself be
entreated for him, and Rebekah his wife became pregnant.
22 And the sons within her began to struggle
with each other, so that she said: If this is the way it is, just why am I
alive? With that she went to inquire of Jehovah.
23 And Jehovah proceeded to say to her: 2
nations are in your belly, and 2 national groups will be separated from your
inward parts; and the one national group will be stronger than the other
national group, and the older will serve the younger.
24 Gradually her days came to the full for
giving birth, and, look! twins were in her belly.
25 Then the first came out red all over like
an official garment of hair; so they called his name Esau.
26 And after that his brother came out and
his hand was holding onto the heel of Esau; so he called his name Jacob. And
Isaac was 60 years old at her giving them birth (Genesis 25).
Isaac (2), Rebekah (2).
Rebekah means captivating.
So Isaac is the mediator of the ICC, Rebekah is the ICC, the two nationals in her belly are TCC1 and TCC2, the two national groups not said to be in her belly but in her inward parts are two spirit baptisms, 1NC and EHC. A national group is a part of a Nation. The EHC is stronger spiritually than the 1NC , knowing more, and the older group the 1NC serves/submits to the younger group the EHC. The conflict arises out of Rebekah's being alive, i.e. from those born again in her. It is a battle between living seeds. This is repeated in the case of TCC3 and TCC4.
Also with Isaac as God and Rebekah as the Holy Spirit the twins are the angels and mankind. We surplant them, we are their heel grabbers. They are stronger than us in capabilities and older too, yet they end up in submission to us upstart young heel grabbers.
Barnabus knew that this story had a greater meaning but was unable to get the correct greater meaning...
2
Hear then what the Scripture says concerning the people: And Isaac prayed
concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren, and she conceived. Then
Rebecca went forth to enquire of the Lord and the Lord said to her: two nations
are in thy womb, and two peoples in thy belly, and one people shall overcome a
people, and the greater shall serve the less.
3 You
ought to understand who is Isaac and who is Rebecca, and of whom he has
shown that this people is greater than that people (Barnabus 13).
So Barnabus declares that this story has a greater meaning, just as Paul declared in Galatians that the story of Sarah and Hagar in earlier in Genesis had a greater meaning. Barnabus makes a valiant attempt to interpret Genesis 25, with the Jews struggling with the first century Christians. And both groups were subcovenants of the ICC, so they were both children of the woman of that covenant. But the 12 apostles were all Jews so the one group was not in submission to the other group since both groups were run by the same national group. The general pattern of satanic fleshly competition between spiritual seeds applies, but Barnabus was not quite correct. However he had the same inquiring spirit that Einstein and Jesus both spoke about, keep on asking questions said the one and keep on asking knocking and seeking said the other.
