Episode Details

In Jacob’s final days, he blesses Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. God’s sovereignty is evident as Jacob crosses his hands and gives the greater blessing to Ephraim, the younger brother. Likewise, God’s sovereignty is further demonstrated as Jacob blesses his own sons, revealing their future roles in the nation of Israel. The theme “looking ahead” reminds us God is in control of history and the future. Though we face uncertainty, we can trust God’s guidance over our lives and the lives of future generations.
