Jacob became Israel, Israel became Esau

The Father was showing many things today about the birthright of Esau so easily thrown away by him. He showed Jacob who wrestled with an angel, saying, "I will not let you go until you bless me". Jacob fighting to hold on, and Esau throwing down his birthright for nothing, just a bowl of lentils. Then the Father showed me Israel throwing down its birthright as easily as did Esau. That birthright was Jesus, the beating heart of the Father, the Reconciliation of Israel and of the whole world. Jacob would not let go of heaven, but Esau saw nothing of heaven, and had his head down to the earth all his life.

And then the Father said: "Jacob became Israel, and Israel became Esau".

Israel must come to the Reconciliation of the Father, lifting up its head to heaven and receiving the birthright given, Jesus the Messiah, who is the third bread taken away and hidden and then returned. (The third bread is one of the three pieces of unleavened bread in the Passover Sedar, which was broken and hidden and brought back at the end of the meal, according to Jewish tradition.)
