Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him. For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth. And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.-Genesis 26:12-16***Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) was a friend of God. Isaac was the only child born to Abraham and his wife Sarah (Sarai). The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that Isaac was living in the Philistine territory of Gerar due to a famine. Previously, Isaac had zn encounter with King Abimelech, ruler of the Philistines in Gerar, after Abimelech noticed the true relationship between Isaac and Isaac's wife Rebekah. When Isaac was 60 years old, fraternal twins sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to Isaac and Rebekah. Decades thereafter, Jacob married Rebekah's nieces Leah and Rachel. Over 1,900 years after Judah was born to Jacob and Leah, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born in Bethlehem, over 65 miles from Gerar, into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 1:1-35:29, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, James 2:14-26
