Genesis 25:21 And Isaac intreated the Lord for his wife, because she was barren: and the Lord was intreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. 22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the Lord.
Again, let’s go back to that scenario with Rebekah. The children had not yet seen or heard any evil, and they had not watched call of duty, or any one of the movies that promulgate violence, and yet, here they were, fist fighting in the womb, before they were even born.
Were those ongoing fights the result of a conscious choice on their part, or was it the result of our fallen human nature manifesting itself in capricious, and often random ways? What is worthy of note is that they never stopped fighting up to the point of delivery, for even as the mother was experiencing labor pains, the continued fighting never abated.
That’s the reason why, when studying the issues of generational curses we must look deeper than mere choice, for genetic factors are also to be brought to bear on the issue. As David reflected on what he did with Bathsheba he was greatly surprised and greatly dismayed that he, who had written so many verses of scripture, could descend so low as to kill a man to hide his rendezvous.
Psalms 51:3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that You may be justified when You speak, and be clear when You judge. 5 Behold, I was shaped in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
