Rebekah and Jacob stand against National Israel and the Laodicean Church
The proverb “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink” is one of the oldest English proverbs still in use today. It is believed to have originated in the 12th century and was initially recorded in Old English Homilies as “Hwa is thet mei thet hors wettrien the him self nule drinken” 1. The phrase has been used in various forms over the years, including “you may bring a horse to the water, but you cannot make him drink” 2.
The proverb is often used to describe a situation where someone is given an opportunity but refuses to take advantage of it. The phrase has been used in literature, music, and other forms of media over the years 1.

Study Background before continuing this study.
Without a good background understanding of WHO - not what - True Israel is, it would be very difficult to fully grasp the depth of this study. Please see background studies as follows:
Note: There are numerous study links in the Blog below. The more you research the background the more you will comprehend the depth of this study. God bless those who diligently study the KING JAMES BIBLE and have COME OUT FROM RELIGION of the LAODICEAN CHURCH. Those who do not worship National Israel and who believe that National Israel who denies and secretly hates Jesus Christ is the Israel of the Scriptures. Those who use perverted Bible translations who are in the NAR DOMINION THEOLOGY including those who deny Dispensational truth including the opposite side of this evil coin the HYPER DISPENSATIONALISTS and AMILLENIALS and REPLACEMENT THEOLOGY followers who deny the RAPTURE and or that the Church is in Prophecy and is joint heirs with Christ to be part of THE REAL TRUE ISRAEL.
The Zionists are laughing all the way to the Bank as they fleece ignorant Evangelical Christians.

I urge you to pay special attention to the commentary by Sister Kristianna in the notes to the above Link as well as the notes here below.
Rebekah the Gentile Bride Chosen for Issac the child of Promise that was chosen OUTSIDE of The Promise Land but Brought into it.
Jacob the One favored - the One who received the BIRTHRIGHT - the One who INHERITED the Blessing to become Israel - the true Israel, appointed by Jesus Christ - The One God whom National Israel rejects who isby The Bride, The Wife The One Chosen by God over the firstborn
We will be looking at Genesis Chapters 24, 25, 27 and 32.
Genesis 24.
One other thought concerning Rebekah is to remember her background of Haran in Syria, and thus a Gentile in contrast to Abraham “the Hebrew”. Later in Deuteronomy 26. 5, when looking back to the origin of God’s chosen people, the Israelite was instructed to stand and confess, “A Syrian ready to perish was my father”. Thus we see that Rebekah was called to leave her “world” to share the pilgrim life of faith with Isaac, and the hope of the Gospel to which we also are called.
GENESIS CHAPTER 24 KJV (kingjamesbibleonline.org)
Verses 1 through 8:
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell:
4But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
5And the servant said unto him, Peradventure the woman will not be willing to follow me unto this land: must I needs bring thy son again unto the land from whence thou camest?
6And Abraham said unto him, Beware thou that thou bring not my son thither again.
7The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his angel before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.
8And if the woman will not be willing to follow thee, then thou shalt be clear from this my oath: only bring not my son thither again.
Genesiss 25:20-26
20And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah to wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padanaram, the sister to Laban the Syrian.
21And Isaac intreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
22And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.
23And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb.
25And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau.
26And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.
Essau I hated - Jacob I loved Romans 9:13.
The lives of Jacob and Esau provide major spiritual lessons.
Matthew 19:30
“But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.”
King James Version (KJV)
Genesis 25:21-23
God's revelation to Rebekah regarding the struggling twins is that two kinds or types of people were in her womb. They were definitely not identical twins. The word "manner," as used in the King James Version, indicates the reason for their rivalry; they were so different despite having the same parents. Their struggling in Rebekah's womb was a precursor of what continued after their birth, which significantly influenced the history of Isaac's descendants.
By his reply, Esau showed that he had little grasp of the worth of the birthright. In fact, he valued his life far above his inheritance. He said to Jacob, in effect, "Look, if I survive, this birthright may be of some profit, but right now I will trade anything to live." In essence, he counted his birthright as worth no more than a meal! Esau's major problem was that he could not properly discern what was truly important. The Bible's portrait of him suggests that his complete attention fell on whatever was before him at the time, and thus he took no thought of the future, whether of blessings or problems or consequences. In wits, then, he was no match for cunning Jacob.

All About Edom (Part One)
Genesis 27:27-30
27And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
28Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.
30And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarce gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
31And he also had made savoury meat, and brought it unto his father, and said unto his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
32And Isaac his father said unto him, Who art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn Esau.
33And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? where is he that hath taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him? yea, and he shall be blessed.
34And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said unto his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
35And he said, Thy brother came with subtilty, and hath taken away thy blessing.
36And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?
37And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?
38And Esau said unto his father, Hast thou but one blessing, my father? bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
39And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above;
40And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.
As possessor of the birthright, Jacob, with the help of his mother, tricks his father Isaac into passing down the blessing to him as well (Genesis 27:1-29). Upon discovering this duplicitous turn of events, Esau is devastated:
When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me—me also, O my father!" But [Isaac] said, "Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing." And Esau said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright. And now look, he has taken away my blessing!" And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?" Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, (Genesis 27:34-37)
Even realizing what Jacob had done, Esau did not truly understand what had happened. He cried out, in effect, "It was all Jacob's doing! I don't bear any fault in all of this!" God looks at it a bit differently, however. As Paul explained, God had already chosen Jacob, and though He certainly did not approve of Rebekah and Jacob's tactics, He allowed the blessing to fall on Jacob because it fit into His purpose.
Hebrews 12:17 says that though Esau earnestly desired the blessing, "he was rejected," for he did not have the strength of character to handle it for God's purposes. He had already shown that he "despised his birthright," and God judged that he would have eventually shown the same scorn for the blessing. Esau is a classic example of a despiser of good (II Timothy 3:3).
Esau's "Blessing"
Once Isaac had given his—really God's—blessing, there was nothing left for Esau. The blessing was an "all or nothing" addition to the inheritance; it could not be portioned between Isaac's two sons. In reality, the subsequent "blessing" Esau receives is tantamount to a curse. Isaac blesses Esau in Genesis 27:39-40, yet it is not a blessing but a prophecy

These thoughts are brief indeed, but sufficient to illustrate the work of the Holy Spirit in this dispensation in visiting the Gentiles, “to take out of them a people for his name”, Acts 15. 14. It is being accomplished through the preaching of the Gospel, “calling" men and women to the “obedience of faith" in Christ. It is not enough that we read and understand these great chapters of the Old Testament. The questions we must all face are: Have I from the heart responded to the message? Has the One of whom it speaks captivated my heart, so that with Peter we can say, “whom having not seen, ye love"? And has the Holy Spirit sealed me as one with Him for ever?

Regarding Jacob and Israel
Genesis 32: 26-32
26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
29 And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there.
30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.
31 And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and he halted upon his thigh.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day: because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew that shrank.

There’s something about Rebekah. Beautiful concise insights in the above article.
I sensed the Holy Spirit leading to the word “water” part of the sign which Abraham’s servant observed at the well, where Rebekah appeared and so sincerely and generously fetches and pours out the water for Abraham’s servant, and camels.
She has hospitality, kindness, a servants heart, and fruits of the Holy Spirit. She does all cheerfully. In faith-and belief she proclaims later “I will go” with the servant to meet Isaac. She is empathic and sensitive to the Lord’s leading.

could it be a picture of today in "churchianity"?
Jacob-belief (despite his early supplanting)
Esau – unbelief
Ruled by his “belly” avarice, oafish, unthinking, shallow, careless, of this world, an earth-dweller.
A picture of the false church vs. the True Bride/church (?)
One of the Spirit,
One of the flesh
One depicting worldly national Israel
One depicting Spiritual Israel/ circumcision of the heart from above
Just a few thoughts
Genesis 24:64
“And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel.”
Kind of a sweet picture, the word “lighted off” means in the concordance---she fell off the camel. Love at first sight. Awwww.
