"SARAH’S LIFETIME"
(Weekly Reading>>Genesis 23:1-25:18, 1 Kings 1:1-31, 2 Timothy 2:15)
Isaac, the bridegroom, is the one who will remove Rebekah’s veil. Our Bridegroom, Yeshua, removed the veil at the Temple when He died. The veil was torn from top to bottom by the power of the shedding of His blood in order to redeemed His Bride. Yeshua is the one who will remove the veil that has covered the bride’s heart when she by faith draws close to her Bridegroom. Hearts that are circumcised at the lifting of the veil (Yom Kippur) have been delivered from all that previously hindered the bride’s love for her Bridegroom.
The Holy Spirit/Ruach HaKodesh will deliver the bride to her Bridegroom. The bride will be found scattered among the nations. She is the one who has crossed over as she has prepared herself while in the Wilderness. The Groom sends for her and draws her from the nations. She has kept the Word of Yahweh alive in her heart and walked faithfully in His ways. The Spirit of Yahweh woos her from the Twelve Tribes among all the Nations and brings her to the Bridegroom, dressed in bridal garments ready for her wedding.
Isaac found Rebekah worthy to step into the role of his mother Sarah, the matriarch of the family. Isaac brought Rebekah into the tent of Sarah and married her. In doing this, she inherited the blessing Yahweh gave to Sarah. “I will bless her so that she will be the mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her” (Genesis 17:16). Isaac found great consolation in this and was comfort after his mother’s death. Rebekah became his wife and Isaac loved her.
Abraham Dies
(Genesis 25)
Abraham lived thirty-five more years after Isaac married Rebekah and he took another wife named Keturah, who gave him six more sons. The Midianites are from her offspring.
When Abraham died his inheritance was left to Isaac, the son of the promise, as he was the firstborn and only son of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham gave gifts to all his children but only Isaac, received the birthright inheritance. Sarah’s bondwoman Hagar and Abraham’s second wife Keturah’s children were also blessed and become fathers and princes of many nations but their children were not the progenitors of the promised seed. This title was reserved only for Isaac and his seed after him. The seed of Isaac retains the Covenant (Genesis 25:16; 1 Chronicles 1:32).
Abraham’s whole family was with him at his death, including his son Ishmael. Abraham was buried with his wife Sarah in the cave of Machpelah near Mamre, in the field of Ephron the Hittite (near Hebron), the field that Abraham had bought.
Abraham lived to see his third generation. Isaac’s sons Jacob and Esau were fifteen when their grandfather passed away.
