This is one of the Parables that contain prophecy referring to the Two Countries. The Israel and the Philippines. The Older is Israel and the Younger is The Philippines. Sarah fooled her husband Isaac to give the Blessings to Jacob instead of Issau his older brother. Another story foretold where Jacob crossed his hands to anoint the two brothers. The left hand placed on the head of Manasseh the older, and the right hand placed on Ephraim’s head the younger. So it was the younger that were chosen to be blessed contrary to Hebrew’s tradition. Why this was foretold if GOD has nothing to hide beneath the stories?
