First week of the Translation Consultants' Seminar


The first week is over. Everything is going well, it would appear. I have contributed a devotional on Monday and lectures on Wednesday and Friday.

The devotional was on "The Promise of God is fulfilled as Its True Heir is Saved from Submission to Worldly and Demonic Forces" (Gen 31:22-34: 31) You can read the outline at the left if you click on the image.
See for yourselves if you can agree with me that when God blessed Jacob at the Jabok River, there was a decisive turning-point in the story. I see the meeting of Jacob with Esau as being anticlimactic after Jacob has received his new name and fresh blessing from God. Surely no false pretender to the promises of God could defeat God's declared plan to bless Jacob.
