Genesis 33: Reconciled at Last - a podcast by The Epic Life - Bob Hallman

Genesis 33 is a pivotal chapter in Jacob’s life.  20 years earlier, Jacob had left his home because his brother had sworn to kill him for stealing his birthright and the blessing of his father, Isaac (Gen 27:41-45). Rebekah had told Jacob “when your brother is no longer angry with you and forgets what you did to him, I'll send word for you to come back from there.

Gen 27:45. But since she never sent for him, Jacob had every reason to believethat20 years had not diminished Esau’s anger.

Story: A reporter was interviewing an old man on his 100th birthday. “What are you most proud of?” he asked. “Well,” said the man, “I don’t have an enemy in the world.” “What a beautiful thought! How inspirational!” said the reporter. “Yep,” added the centenarian, “I outlived every last one of‘ em. ”But outliving Esau was not an option for Jacob. Because for Jacob to fulfill his divine calling to be a blessing to all nations, he had to go back home and face his brother Esau. As I have stated before, sometimes you have to first go back in order to advance.
