Jacob's Ladder Bible Story Explained
What Was Jacob's Ladder Dream About
Great to have you back again. Many have heard of Jacob's ladder but
have not understood the Truth of Jacob's ladder. In this study we
will talk a little but about Jacob's ladder as to know the whole
spiritual Truth of Jacobs ladder and how Angels use Jacobs ladder. We
learned quite a lot in our last adventure with Jacob and Esau, and
had quite a Spiritual lesson as well. Our Soul is tested many times
in life and we are to never allow the winds of mediocrity to
extinguish our candle's flame as to allow us to surrender our
Salvation. Never allow anything from hunger as Esau did to anger,
jealousy, lust, fear, greed or doubt to ever overwhelm you into
making the wrong choices. Instead seek Faith, Truth, Love, Strength,
Courage, Wisdom and Understanding. These are the qualities that will
help keep you on the path to Salvation. Forget not that it is not our
works but His Grace that creates within us a new heart which
naturally seeks to do His will and our fruits will then be seen as
good works.
Now, let's look into another adventure shall we? We have Jacob
preparing to leave his home because his brother is so angry about his
choices and losing his inheritance and his blessing to Jacob. Esau
has now threatened to kill Jacob.
To start off our story, Rebekah (the Mother of Jacob and Esau)
despised the women of Canaan. She had so much disdain for them that
she felt if Jacob married one of them, she would have no reason to
live. Remember that Esau has two wives already, both of them from
Canaan.
Esau learned that Isaac wasn't happy that his wives were from Canaan,
out of spite, he went to his Uncle Ishmael (Remember Ishmael was the
brother to Isaac which was sent away.) and took one of his daughters
as a wife. Ishmael's wives were from Canaan too. Esau doesn't seem to
be one bit bashful about his jealousy for his little brother. So Esau
and Ishmael have begun a new bloodline which will lead to the other
nations in the Middle East which still hate Israel to this day
because of the events that occurred.
Jacob's Ladder Bible Story Interpretation
Jacob's Ladder Dream Vision
Meanwhile Jacob traveled as far as he could until dark. He took some
stones and used them for pillows and went to sleep. Jacob had a dream
that night, of a ladder that reached to Heaven, with Angels of God
ascending and descending on it. The Lord stood above the ladder and
said, I am the Lord God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac:
the land where you're sleeping, I'll give to you and your descendants
and they'll be as many as the dust of the earth. And you'll spread to
the west, east, north, and south and through you and your descendants
all the families of the earth will be blessed. (This statement is
referring to Jesus being placed in this bloodline later and through
Him we are able to be saved, therefore blessed.) Remember I'm with you
and I'll protect you wherever you go. I'll bring you back to this
land and I won't leave you until I've done what I've just told you.
What a promise !!!
Jacob woke up and said, The Lord is truly here and I didn't know it.
And the magnificence of it frightened him and he said, This can't be
anything but the house of God and the gate of Heaven.
He got up early in the morning and took the stone that he used as a
pillow and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on it. He named that
place Bethel, but before that, it was called Luz.
He made a promise to God that if He would protect him and give him
food and clothes and let him return to his father's house in peace,
that the Lord will be his God and of everything that God gives him,
he will give 1/10th of it back to Him.
Jacob's Ladder Bible Story Summary
Jacob's Ladder Dream Conclusion
In one of our first stories, we talked about tithing and notice
again, that when Jacob made his vow of tithing, it was of
everything that God provided him with.
Up until now we've had some interesting things happen in the lives of
Abraham and Isaac since the Lord made his covenant. It will be
exciting to find out what God has in store for Jacob in our next
story as he continues his journey to Haran, the home of his Uncle
Laban. Join us again here at Daily Bread.
