Our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Genesis 39: In the land of Egypt, there was a man named Yosef, a descendant of Akobe (Jacob). He was sold as a slave by his jealous brothers to a wealthy Egyptian named Potiphar. Yosef served in Potiphar’s house with great diligence, and the Great Creator enriched all that he did. Potiphar recognized Yosef’s talents […]
Yawada, aka Juda (Judah) and the daytime TV Soap drama with Tamara. In the vibrant tapestry of ancient Africa, the land of Shem, a tale of love, loss, and reprieve developed.

As the house of Akobe grew, his sons began to expand in the land of Canaan. And in the land where Akobe, a man of great strength and wisdom, dwelt as a stranger, a remarkable tale unfolded. The story of Akobe’s son, Yosef (Josef, Joseph), a young lad full of dreams and adorned with a […]
Jacob, who we now call Akobe was in a conundrum. Akobe became concerned with what the rest of the Canaanite families may do against him and his sons because of the savage vengeance performed by Lewi and Simeon.

As Akobe was on his way back home, some of the Great Creator’s Angels came and met him. When Akobe saw them, he said, “This is the Eternal Father’s camp.” So he named the place Mahanaim. What is amazing to me is how Akobe and Abram recognized the Angels of the Creator. Now keep in […]
Jacob’s stay with his uncle Laban had not been entirely pleasant. Laban’s sons had accused Jacob (Akobe) of stealing their father’s property and were envious of Jacob’s success.

Right off the back, we have to uncover some minor unprofitable lies in this, Genesis 29 chapter. Observe: In the Contemporary English Version, it is written: “As Jacob continued on his way to the east (Genesis 29:1).” Other translations also declare Akobe came into the land of the east; even King James says he went […]
Welcome back, let’s get right into the story as Akobe heads to Padan Aram. So Akobe left Beersheba and went toward Haran. On his way, he stopped at a certain place and stayed there all night. He took stones there for his pillows and laid down to sleep. And today we stop at hotels. Listen […]
