The messianic line would come through Isaac. The problem now is that Isaac and Rebekah are going to have twins. So the question becomes which child will the messiah come through now?
People read this and think God is picking Jacob over Esau before they’re born. He’s not.
Just so the LORD can show His power, He ignores the natural order and declares His blessing on the younger child, whoever that will be. This is critical to understand. When the LORD says the elder shall serve the younger, He’s not saying Jacob shall rule over Esau. It doesn’t matter who comes out first and who comes out last. The LORD is just ignoring the natural order of blessings so that His power might be made manifest.
Romans 9:10-13
This is not about the predestination of an individual. It is and was always about the power of God.
