The story of Isaac and Rebekah’s betrothal is a prophetic charade set in motion, from which you can learn what qualifications you must meet to be chosen as the Bride of Christ. Allow yourself to be led to a well of knowledge and understanding of this story, and how Rebekah’s simple act of kindness determined the fate of a nation. Discover how your actions today will determine your destiny tomorrow.
This text is the longest single episode in Genesis with sixty-seven verses, and it is repeated six more times in the Bible, heightening its significance. In it we find the Spirit of God calling to us that no matter how dark it seems, there is a greater power of love shaping history.
A Portrait of the Bride: Rebekah walks you through Genesis 24, studying in detail Isaac and Rebekah’s betrothal, and why her story is a significant prophetic picture of the Bride of the Messiah.
How to be Chosen for Greatness
As we begin this story, we will see three major characters: Abraham, Eliezer, and Rebekah. Each character grants a different perspective:
• Abraham demonstrates how God seeks a bride for His only begotten Son, Yeshua.
• Eliezer shows us how to allow the Spirit to lead us toward our destiny.
• Rebekah illustrates how to be chosen by God for greatness.
The Groom
And Abraham was old, [and] well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
—Genesis 24:1
The story of Abraham’s desire to find a bride for his son, Isaac, is clearly a prophetic picture of how our Heavenly Father desires a bride for His Son from among His family of believers. Each of the characters mentioned in the story are used as similitudes (or types/shadows of things to come):
• Abraham represents God the Father.
• His servant, Eliezer, represents the Holy Spirit.
• His family represents Israel, the true believers—a type of the church.
• His son, Isaac, represents Christ.
• Rebekah represents the Bride of Christ.
The Hebrew word for similitudes
is Damah, which means to compare, devise, mean, think, and use similitudes.
Each Hebrew letter of a word conveys a deeper meaning. In the Hebrew pictorial: Dalet (door
), Mem (water, change, transition
), and Hay (behold
)—or Behold the door of transition!
This word is found in Hosea 12:10: I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
Wilson’s Old Testament Word Studies defines similitudes
as likeness, representation, or image.
The author of Hebrews writes in 11:19, "Accounting that God
