Isaac and His Divine Bride

Isaac grew into a wonderful man. Later, Isaac’s mother, Sarah, died at the ripe old age of 127 years and was buried in Canaan. As Isaac grew older, Abraham wanted Isaac to marry a righteous and virtuous woman from Abraham’s homeland of Mesopotamia and not from the wicked women of Canaan, who would make Isaac’s life miserable. Abraham did not want his son Isaac to leave Canaan because Canaan (Israel-Palestine) was the Promised Land from God for his descendants. Abraham sent his faithful servant to his homeland with abundant gifts to provide for Isaac’s new bride. Also, Abraham assured his servant that the living Sovereign LORD God would send His holy angel to lead and guide his servant to find Isaac’s divine bride. After reaching Abraham’s homeland, Abraham’s servant prayed from his heart with faith to the Sovereign LORD God, asking for His success, grace, and guidance to lead him to the right woman to become Isaac’s wife. The servant responded to the LORD that he would know the right woman He appointed for Isaac if the woman showed kindness and goodness by offering water to him and his camels to drink from the well. Before the servant finished praying, the LORD answered the servant’s prayers by bringing a beautiful young woman who was a virgin to the well named Rebekah. Rebekah generously offered Abraham’s servant and his animals water to drink, and she offered lodging for the servant and his animals. The Holy Bible notes that Rebekah had all the qualities of a good wife: caring, generous, beautiful, diligent, good-hearted, selfless, and hospitable. Abraham’s servant blessed Rebekah with abundant gifts, and they went to Rebekah’s father. Abraham’s servant bowed his head in humble worship and thanksgiving to the LORD for His providence, divine care, and guidance in choosing Rebekah as Isaac’s bride. Rebekah was a descendant of Abraham’s brother, Nabor, and his wife, Milcah. Rebekah’s brother Laban graciously welcomed Abraham’s servant, his companions, and animals into their home and provided food for their comfort. The servant asked the father and his family permission to take Rebekah to Isaac to become Isaac’s new bride, and they all agreed. Rebekah was so happy and willingly agreed to marry Isaac without delay. Rebekah’s family blessed her to become the mother of thousands of descendants with God’s blessings. When Isaac saw Rebekah, he fell in love with Rebekah, and they were married. After their marriage, Isaac and Rebekah gave birth to twin boys named Esau and Jacob (father of Israel). The Sovereign LORD God blessed Abraham greatly with honor and an everlasting covenant, along with many servants, animals, silver, and gold. Abraham left all his possessions and riches with God’s blessings to Isaac, the chosen son of God’s covenant promise. The Sovereign LORD God called Abraham and his descendants to walk blamelessly and faithfully obey Him. God’s hand guided Abraham and his covenant descendants with blessings, including Isaac, Jacob (Israel), and King David, leading to Christ Jesus our Savior. Abraham died at a good old age of 175, an older man full of years, and he was buried by his two sons, Isaac and Ishmael, with his wife Sarah in the Promised Land of Canaan (Israel-Palestine). The Holy Bible describes Abraham as the “father of many nations.” and the descendant (Seed) of Christ Jesus our Anointed Lord and Savior.  Jesus is Lord!
