For those of you who were unable to attend the “Bridegroom’s Chamber Prophetic Conference,” in Allentown Pennsylvania, on the 2nd day of the Conference, the teaching on Thursday August 28th 2014 was as follows: “The Bridegroom gives the Bride the Key to his Chamber.” *The notes to this teaching come from Maria’s ebook & blog entitled: “The Key of David: He that Opens and No Man Shuts.” http://doubleportioninheritance.blogspot.com/2013/10/pre-tribulation-or-post-tribulation.html Mattithyahuw (Matthew) 9:15 And Yahuwshuwa said unto them, Can the children of the bride chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.

In this episode, the Mormon Matters "Genesis Team"--David Bokovoy, Tom Roberts, and Brian Hauglid--join host Dan Wotherspoon for a discussion of Genesis 24-33, which focus on the God-ordained meeting and marriage of Isaac and Rebekah, and the tales of their twin sons, Esau and Jacob--many of which focus on trickery and deception in order to fulfill Yahweh’s plans to continue the purity of the bloodline and the pass along the blessings of the Abrahamic covenant. It also looks long and hard at Jacob and his journey from somewhat of a "Mama’s boy" to full-fledged prophet-hero--to a great extent aided by his mighty wrestle with Yahweh himself. The episode contains important insights into the text and its sources, various laws, customs, and folk magic that help explain some very strange actions--How does one create a lot of spotted, speckled, and ringstraked livestock? By putting similar things in front of them while they mate!--and the troubling presence of parental favoritism that plagues the families of many biblical prophets. It also gives the panel and host chances to reflect on powerful moments of forgiveness and the spiritual growth of many characters, growth that is, in many of our lives, aided by great physical and mental striving.

In this inaugural episode of "Matters of Perspective," Rick Jepson reads his November 2005 Sunstone article, "Godwrestling: Physicality, Conflict, and Redemption in Mormon Doctrine," which explores through many different angles the transformative power of struggle, both physical and spiritual. It contains one of the most complete discussions in all of Mormon writing of the Genesis story of Jacob’s wrestle with the angel, and links Jacob’s transformation from this intense battle with physical ordeals in the lives of other prophets, especially Joseph Smith, as well as Jesus’s struggle to complete the Atonement. It also examines in wonderful ways Jacob’s and Esau’s difficult relationship, Jacob's struggle to win the esteem of his father, Isaac, and even some of the reasons it was important for him to break free from the influence of his mother, Rebekah. It also teaches us a ton of fascinating things about wrestling! This article is a master example of the power of both the personal voice--Jepson reveals a great deal about himself and formative experiences in his life and that of his family--as well as first-rate scholarship. We are so pleased to offer it as the first in the Matters of Perspective series!

Many of you thought that the “Ten Days of Awe” is not mentioned in scripture. But think again! Maria shared from Revelation 2:10 where the Congregation at Smyrna is told by Messiah that they will have “ten days of tribulation.” The Hebrew word for “awe” means “tribulation” and “sister rivalry”! Rebekah was asked to stay “ten days” before going to meet her bridegroom Isaac, but she did not want to wait 10 days. She wanted to “go meet the bridegroom!” This is a prophetic picture of “the five wise virgins” out of the “ten virgins” during these ten days between the Feast of Trumpets & the Day of Atonement. Yahuwshuwa Messiah will gather two brides prophetically typified in Leah & Rachel. These 10 days are a period of repentance for the bride has made herself ready! See Maria’s blog entitled: “Ten Days of Awe Leading Up to Yom Kippur!” http://doubleportioninheritance.blogspot.com/2011/08/ten-days-of-awe-leading-up-to-yom.html

Favouritism and deceitfulness can rip families apart, which is why Isaac and Rebekah's family is known as one of the most dysfunctional families in the Bible. So what can we learn from their story?

Abraham commands his servant to find a wife for Isaac from his kindred. God sovereignly leads the servant to Rebekah. God ensures the continuation of Abraham's descendants in this dramatic love story.
