  • Ancient Secrets for the Modern World - Esau was Immoral

    Esau was often seen as a figure overlooked by God, primarily due to his immoral actions. He was driven by impulse, frequently giving in to the desires of the flesh without considering the consequences. This impulsiveness led to significant decisions that seemed to stray from the faith and values of his parents. One of the most notable instances of this was his choice of wives, which did not align with the faith and traditions of his family, further illustrating his departure from the path laid out by his ancestors.

    Esau's life serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of self-restraint and adherence to one's faith and values. His story is a reminder that decisions made in the heat of the moment can have long-lasting impacts, not only on one's life but also on their spiritual journey. By examining Esau's choices, we can better understand the significance of thoughtful decision-making and the potential consequences of neglecting one's moral and spiritual responsibilities.

At times though he was afraid and made poor choices e.g. leaving his father in law Laban without saying goodbye, but Jacob was only human and despite his humanity God used him to help birth a nation!
