The Mystery of Jacob and Esau

The story of Jacob and Esa is so fascinating because God makes this choice before Jacob or Esau could choose. And then Jacob becomes Israel in the most bizarre way he steals the blessing from the firstborn. So Paul just throws out all these examples and back to our original question we say it's not all of Israel is Israel well now he's back to Israel who is Jacob. It depends not on human will or exertion but upon God who has mercy for the scripture says to Pharaoh I have raised you up that I might show my power in you.
