In response to Isaac's sin, God protects him and blesses him, and quickly. Within a year, Isaac sows and reaps 100-fold. Because of his success, King Abimelech tries to get rid of him, which is one thing we'll see a lot of. Anytime this family that God has established a relationship with starts to flourish, the people around them notice. They become jealous of them or afraid of them.

They want them dead and gone. This is a theme with Abraham's descendants, but God preserves them. Next, God appears to Isaac again at the very first well his father Abraham had taken possession of back in chapter 21, Beersheba. And God promises again to bless and multiply him.

The promise that was originally for Isaac's father Abraham must extend through Isaac because he is the child of the promise, the only child of Abraham and Sarah. As we learned yesterday, Isaac got married at age 40. And today we see that he and Rebecca have their first child when he is 60.

This actually happens 15 years before Abraham dies, but sometimes Genesis likes to give these weird flash-forward moments, so just bear with it. Anyway, Rebekah is barren for 20 years, but Isaac knows the God who grants life. He's evidence of it. So he intercedes on behalf of Rebekah, and God answers his prayers with a yes. Sometimes, God answers with a no.

But all of God's answers to our prayers, whether yes or no or wait, serve to establish His very good plans. In this instance, in order for God to fulfill His promise of many offspring to Abraham and Isaac, God would have to open Rebekah's womb. And when He does, Rebekah becomes pregnant with twins. I wonder if these are the very first twins ever.

Rebecca has a lot of questions about what's happening, and I love that she takes her questions to God, and he answers her. God's answer is kind of perplexing, though, because he basically tells her that his plan for these two children would go against the cultural norms of their day. The older son will not take prominence. Instead, the younger son will rule.

This would be kind of like if the crown passed straight from King Charles to Prince Harry, skipping over all of Prince William and his kids. Then, through a whole tangled mess of sin, God accomplishes his purposes to that end. We see part of that unfolding today, and we'll see the rest tomorrow.
