MP3-P417-19B Revelation – Revelation 7 – Blessing – Genesis 48 – A Message for Communion by Pastor Dave Sweet
Pastor Dave continued in Revelation by sharing an illustration from Genesis 48 of the Blessing by Jacob upon Joseph's two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. He explained that customarily the first born (Manasseh) would have received Jacob's blessing, but that Jacob switched so that the younger son (Ephraim) received his blessing first. Joseph tried to correct the placement of his father Jacob's hands, but Jacob's action is an illustration to us today of God's blessing to us, as seen through the Communion Table today.
