Genesis 28:10-15 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.… Four points present themselves for consideration in the spiritual meaning of this vision. I. The perfect Manhood of our Lord Jesus Christ. The ladder "was set up on the earth." II. The eternal Godhead of our Lord Jesus Christ. "The top of it reached to heaven." III. The mediatorial character of our Lord Jesus Christ, resulting from this union of two natures in one Person. He is here represented as a ladder between earth and heaven. IV. The communications carried on through the Mediator between earth and heaven. The angels of God were seen "ascending and descending on" the ladder. Prayer, grace, mercy, peace, praise — these are the messages, with which the several angels are charged respectively. (Dean Goulburn).
