A Generation of Esaus

One day when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau arrived home from the wilderness exhausted and hungry. Esau said to Jacob, “I’m starved! Give me some of that red stew!” (This is how Esau got his other name, Edom, which means “red.”)
“All right,” Jacob replied, “but trade me your rights as the firstborn son.”
“Look, I’m dying of starvation!” said Esau. “What good is my birthright to me now?”
But Jacob said, “First you must swear that your birthright is mine.” So Esau swore an oath, thereby selling all his rights as the firstborn to his brother, Jacob.
Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and lentil stew. Esau ate the meal, then got up and left. He showed contempt for his rights as the firstborn.
We have a generation ready to sell their and our birthright as admitted to by the Founders of the nation. Like hell, I say.

"Jacob" means, he grasps.
Just like a bunch of graspers are making their grab now. Thanks for helping me with my point.
That doesn't excuse Esau from being a frelling moron, BTW, like it doesn't excuse us.

"God chooses the foolish things to confound the wise"
Nebuchadnezzar was a real a$$ and yet God allowed him, of all people, to write the 4th chapter of Daniel and in it Nebuchadnezzar gave his testimony.

A very good analogy. This lesson would be lost on the children of today I fear. They were not taught what their rights are, where they are from, or what blood was spent to make a Constitution that was supposed to protect them.

And WE let it happen. I'm embarrassed I didn't wake sooner.
