Is “ESAU” A “REFERENCE” To “CHRIST”?

SOME of “YOU” MAY NOT “AGREE” with me, but this is MY “UNDERSTANDING” of this topic.

Is "ESAU" a "REFERENCE" to “CHRIST”?

Let’s LOOK at the "RED HEIFER" in "NUMBERS 19:2", in which the "RED HEIFER" is "CHRIST", with “ESAU”;

"And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau."-Genesis 25:25 (KJV)

While;

"This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring thee a red heifer without spot, wherein is no blemish, and upon which never came yoke:"-Numbers 19:2 (KJV)

The “RED HEIFER” in “NUMBERS 19:2 is “REFERRING” to “CHRIST”, because THROUGHOUT Christ’s “LIFE”, “CHRIST” WAS & STILL is WITHOUT “SPOT” or “BLEMISH”.

Now let’s CONTINUE.

So "ESAU" SOLD HIS "BIRTHRIGHT" to HIS BROTHER "JACOB", since;

"Jacob sod pottage: and Esau came from the field, and he was faint: And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom. And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob."-Genesis 25:29-33 (KJV)

While "CHRIST" "GAVE" HIS "LIFE, because of HIM SAYING that;

"Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."-John 10:17-18 (KJV)

“JACOB” HAVING Esau’s “BIRTHRIGHT” WAS HIS “BLESSING” from HIS FATHER “ISAAC”, because;

Genesis 27:11-27 (KJV):

11. And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:

12. My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

13. And his mother said unto him, Upon me be thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me them.

14. And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.

15. And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:

16. And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:

17. And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

18. And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?

19. And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau thy first born; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.

20. And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou hast found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord thy God brought it to me.

21. And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.

22. And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

23. And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.

24. And he said, Art thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.

25. And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank.

26. And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.

27. And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which the Lord hath blessed:

Since “JACOB” HAD Esau’s “BIRTHRIGHT”, & the “BLESSING” from HIS FATHER “ISAAC”, then;

“Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have “RIGHT” to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.”-Revelations 22:14 (KJV)

So the question is, DO YOU “THINK” or “BELIEVE” that “ESAU” a “REFERENCE” to “CHRIST”?
