6.10.09 Gn25, Mt24

Genesis 25:
Abraham took another wife, and she bore him a lot of sons, but he sent all of them away from the land, because it was meant to be for Isaac. When Abraham was 175 years old, he died, and Ishmael and Issac buried him with Sarah. Ishmael had a lot of sons too, and he died at 137, his sons lived in hostility toward all their brothers.
After Issac married Rebekah, he prayed to the Lord for children, for Rebekah was Barren. The Lord then gave her twins in her womb, and predicted that the two will be two nations, and one stronger than the other, and the old would serve the young. Esau came out first, he was covered with red hair, and Jacob came out grabbing his heal. Isaac favored Esau for he was good at hunting, however, Rebekah favored Jacob.
One day, when Jacob was cooking, Esau came in asking for the food. Jacob asked Esau to sell his birthright to Esau, and Esau agreed on the price of some bread and lentil stew.

Matthew 24:
Jesus left the building, and his disciples came and wanted him to look at the bildings, and Jesus said that none the stone would be left with another, all would be broken down. The disciples followed him the Mount of Olives, and had him explain when this would all happen. Jesus said that there would be people rising up calling themselves Christs, and there would be wars and famines. Then the disciples would be taken away and persecuted, and killed. Their love would grow cold, and they would hate others. But only the one that stood firm would be saved. Let those in Judea flee to the mountains when the proper sign came, don't let people back to their place to grab their possessions. Do not believe whoever called himself the Christ. Therefore, do not follow the ones who would try to fulfill the prophecies. When those days end, the world would be pitch blac, everything would fall from the sky. The only thing in the sky would be the Son of Man coming from heavens with angesl and trumpet calls. He would gather his all his elect. This could be learned from the fig trees, when the trees start sprouting, the one should know that summer was near, same, when there was a sign, then one should know that Christ was coming soon.
However when he comes, he would come in quietness because his elects would have to be prepared all the time. Therefore, keep watch and be the faithful servant who was keeping his masters household in order and giving other servants food at a certain time, instead of the unfaithful servant who beat up other servants, but when the master came back unexpectedly, he would be in trouble.
