To be told your future, how would that feel? Would I want to know what my father thought I would be like or would I just laugh under my breath and think "whatever"? Blessings, curses, and predestination are they all true? Do we make our own path? I think we do and what Jacob was telling his boys was their characteristics as related to the world back then. As parents we look at our children now and we can do the same but we don't. We tell them work hard, study and be an all around good person and things will go well, thats a blessing in a way. We typically don't tell them they are lazy and worthless and they will always be fighting with everyone, though we may feel that way we do not say that. We encourage instead and hope for the best. I guess things have not changed as much as we thought. Reply to this
