Genesis: Jacob’s Ladder – What Was It?

BIBLE STUDY
About this episode

In Genesis 28, Jacob dreamed of a ladder.

The ladder reached all the way from Heaven to Earth.

So, what was this dream all about? For centuries, no one knew. For centuries, it remained a mystery. But then, in the first chapter of John, the answer was finally provided.Join us as we consider ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ in today’s study of Genesis.

Questions That We’ll Answer:

A) Why was Jacob all alone, using a rock for a pillow?

B) What was the nature of his dream – and what exactly did he see?

C) What was Jacob’s response (after waking from this dream)?
