God Consistently Chooses the Latecomer
God consistently chooses the latecomer, the second born, the person of lower social status. And it sets in motion all these cycles of the biblical story that we're calling just under the title of the firstborn. The one of high status can get angry and persecute or get hostile to the one that God has chosen. Sometimes the younger one who's not chosen but thinks they ought to be will engage in hostile rivalry towards their elders. It keeps pointing forward to this promise that eventually comes to be focused on a hoped for king from the lineage of David,. Israel's second king.
