Symbol Of Pottage

Jacob was a plain man dwelling in tents, while Esau hunted in the field. “Jacob makes Red Soup,” made of lentils, and colored red. We do not know the kind of coloring Jacob used to obtain the tempting shade of that fancy dish; Evidently he alone Knew the Secret. {SR1: 58.2}

“And Jacob makes Red Soup: And Esau came from the field, and he was Faint: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: Therefore, was his name called ‘Edom.’ And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said Behold, I am at the point to die: And what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: And he Sold his Birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: Thus, Esau despised his birthright.” Gen. 25:29-34. {SR1: 58.3}

Esau came from the field that day without any game. As he entered the house, he saw Jacob garnishing the fancy article of food.

Immediately Esau exclaimed: “Feed me I pray thee with that same red pottage; for I am faint.” Esau was not faint because of great hunger, but, seeing the new article of food, could not control his appetite. Jacob’s answer was, “Sell me this day thy Birthright,” if you must have any of this pottage. And Esau said, “Behold, I am on the point to die: And what profit shall this birthright do to me?” Esau was not on the point to die because of hunger or physical ailment, for a sick man cannot eat as he did. Neither was it because of lack of food, for he was in his father’s house, and Isaac was a rich man. It was because of his lust for the pottage, for “He did eat and drink and rose up and went his way.” The Symbol of the Pottage is Health Reform. “Because of his indifference to the divine blessings and requirements, Esau is called in Scripture, ‘a profane person.’ He represents those who lightly value the redemption purchased for them by CHRIST, and are ready to sacrifice their heirship to heaven for the perishable things of Earth. Multitudes live for the present, with no thought or care for the future. Like Esau, they cry, ‘Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.’” — Patriarchs and Prophets, page 181. {SR1: 58.4}

“As Esau awoke to see the folly of his rash exchange when it was too late to recover his loss, so it will be in the day of GOD with those who have bartered their heirship to Heaven for selfish Gratifications.” Id. page 182. We must make our choice while we are given the freedom to select either the Pottage or the Birthright. {SR1: 59.1} Thanks my LORD JESUS & Thanks Prophet E.G.White the 3^rd massage of 3^rd Angel Rev.14:9 & Prophet V.T.Houteff the 4^th massage of 4^th Angel Rev.18:1 !
