Napsal(a) Jonathan S. Rose
Title: Leah and Rachel
Topic: Salvation
Summary: Of the two wives of Jacob, Leah symbolizes earthly priorities and Rachel symbolizes spiritual priorities. Jacob loved Rachel more, but we start out preferring what is meant by Leah. Over time, though, the Lord can teach us to value what is meant by Rachel.

All the presidents of the kingdom, the deputies and the satraps, the counselors and the governors, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a strong decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except of you, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.
