Day 7 -- Jacob Receives the Promise
Scripture Passage: Genesis 28:10-15 (a longer reading would be verses 1-22)
Jacob, son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham, heir to the promises of God made to them -- Jacob has a dream of a ladder to heaven, with angels ascending and decending. God is at the top of the ladder, and He speaks to Jacob in the dream, reminding Jacob of His promises to Abraham and Isaac (to make a great nation, to send one of their descendants who will bless the world, to provide a lamb, etc.) and extend those promises to Jacob. Jacob wakes knowing He has been in the presence of God, calls the place "the gate of heaven," and then names it "Bethel," which means "house of God."
Key Verse: Genesis 28:15 -- "I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."
Suggested Symbol: ladder (maybe leading into the clouds)
