You know, when you get to, you know, go from Abraham and Sarah, and then you get into Isaac and Rebecca, you will see Rebecca working with her son, Jacob, to try to right wrongs.

Number one is you need to read this, all of this, the patriarchs in Genesis, knowing that Christ fulfills all of this. He fulfills all of it. And from time to time, that will become evident.
