...................................................................LET US LEARN TOGETHER WHAT IS GOOD. Job 34:4b(NIV)................................................................Some people see the Bible as a long and boring book filled with incidents and events from the lives of ancient people who probably never existed. The biblical stories are seen as fables. Notably, Romans 15:4 reveals: For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.(KJV) In this blog, many of the situations and conversations found in the divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible have been placed in categories that correspond to expressive sayings and phrases. Reference information, background information and links connecting the people and places are given to help you find a place to begin reading the Bible for yourself.

Evidenced by God's Omniscience

And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and these cattle are my cattle, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children which they have born? Now therefore come thou, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee. And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar. And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made an heap: and they did eat there upon the heap. And Laban called it Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob called it Galeed. And Laban said, This heap is a witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed; And Mizpah; for he said, The LORD watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another. If thou shalt afflict my daughters, or if thou shalt take other wives beside my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.-Genesis 31:43-50***Laban the Syrian (Aramean) and Rebekah were born to Bethuel the Syrian (Aramean). Bethuel was born to Nahor (Nachor). Nahor, Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai) were born to Terah. Terah was the great-great-great-great-great-grandson of Arphaxad. Arphaxad was born to Shem. Shem was born to Noah the ark builder. Noah was the great-grandson of Enoch. Enoch was the great-great-great-grandson of Seth. Seth was born to Adam and Eve. Adam was the 1st man. The divinely inspired Scriptures of the Holy Bible reveal that the Lord God created Adam. The Lord God formed Adam from the dust of the ground, and the Lord God made Adam's wife Eve, the mother of all living, after taking a part out of Adam. When Abraham was 86 years old, Ishmael was born to Abraham and Hagar, Sarah's maidservant. Isaac was born to 100-year-old Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah. When Isaac was 60 years old, he was married to Rebekah.  Fraternal twin sons Esau (Edom) and Jacob (Israel) were born to 60-year-old Isaac and Rebekah. Esau was Isaac's favorite, and Jacob was Rebekah's favorite. After Rebekah helped Jacob trick Isaac, and cheat Esau, and Esau planned to kill Jacob, Rebekah's words to Isaac led him to send Jacob to Bethuel and Laban in Padan Aram, Haran, in northern Mesopotamia. Almost immediately, Jacob loved Rachel, and Jacob and Laban made a deal. However, Laban tricked Jacob, and Leah became Jacob's 1st wife. Jacob was married to Rachel a week after Laban told Jacob the terms of another deal. Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, and daughter Dinah were born to Jacob and Leah. Dan and Naphtali were born to Jacob and maidservant Bilhah. Gad and Asher were born to Jacob and maidservant Zilpah. After Joseph was born to Jacob and Rachel, Jacob wanted to return to Canaan with his family, and Laban and Jacob made another deal. During Jacob's 20th year in Haran, the Lord God spoke to Jacob and told him to return to Canaan. Jacob spoke to Leah and Rachel, and told them the instructions of the Lord God. Due to previous circumstances, Jacob did not tell Laban they were leaving. After Laban heard the news, he went after them. The Lord God spoke to Laban when Laban was dreaming, and Laban spoke purposefully to Jacob. Jacob was reunited with Esau, and Benjamin was born to Jacob and Rachel near Bethlehem in Canaan, and Rachel died, before Jacob was reunited with Isaac in Hebron, Canaan. At least 1,900 years after 180-year-old Isaac died, and Esau and Jacob buried Isaac's body in the cave in Canaan wherein the bodies of Sarah, Abraham, and Rebekah were buried, 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 into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17, 3:1-24, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
