In this episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, host Lance Smith delves into the profound promise made by God to Jacob, as recorded in Genesis 46:4. The discussion navigates through Jacob's emotional journey to Egypt, his reunion with his son Joseph, and the multifaceted interpretations of God's promise to bring Jacob back from Egypt.

Explore three distinct fulfillments of this divine assurance: the national return of Jacob's descendants, Jacob's burial in the promised land, and the eschatological vision of resurrection. This episode highlights the enduring nature of God's promises and their relevance to our lives today.
