In Genesis 27:27-29 we see the blessing given to Jacob. Though this blessing was attained through sinful means, ultimately it will be used to advance the holy purposes of God. In these verses it is prophesied that Christ will have a universal reign over all people, that this will be the means by which the blessing of the nations comes, that He will be exalted above all the people of God, and that the entire world will be divided on the question of whether or not one blesses Christ.
