Jacob's escape journey

Jacob's story begins with his journey to escape his homeland. Faced with family strife and uncertainty about the future, he was alone, filled with fear and anxiety. In this situation, he arrived at Bethel and chose to sleep on a stone.

Oracle in a Dream

In his dream, Jacob saw a magnificent ladder reaching to the heavens. God's messengers moved back and forth on the ladder, symbolizing the connection between heaven and earth. In the dream, God appeared to Jacob, promising to be with him and protect him wherever he was. This was a powerful signal, letting Jacob know that even in wandering and loneliness, God's promise would never leave him.

A reliance in loneliness

Jacob's dream is not only a revelation from God, but also a reminder to each of us. In the journey ahead, Jacob may not always feel God's presence, but that unseen strength will sustain him. We too can seek God's presence during life's low points, remembering that even in our loneliest moments, hope and blessings await us.
