Fifty (bible) reasons why the jews are not israel

[Daytonabill0001]

How is Rebekah a gentile? Just wondering, does her seed possess any gates of those which hate them? What are gates anyway?

Well, Abraham was a gentile and became a Hebrew via a covenant God cut with him, That made Abraham the first Hebrew. Likewise, Rebekah came from the same land as Abraham, thus she was a gentile, just like Abraham used to be.

Gates are denoted as power and authority. Rebekah is a forerunner, or type of Jesus' Bride. Isaac is a forerunner, or type of Jesus the Messiah.

The Bride of Christ, the church, will rule and reign over the world with Jesus during the Millennial reign of Christ.

I found this article that would better explain this than I could, Allow me to copy and past it here...

John Gill's Expository commentary;
and let thy seed possess the gate of those that hate them; exercise dominion and authority over their enemies: let them not only be numerous, but powerful and victorious, as both the nations were at times, and especially the latter; and particularly this had its accomplishment in Christ, who sprung from her in the line of Jacob, Mat_1:2; some respect seems to be had to the promise made to Abraham, Gen_22:17; of which this family might have knowledge from Abraham's servant, who might report not only how great his master was, but what promises were made to him with respect to his posterity.

And this is from The Preacher's Corner on Bridal studies...
