The Inheritance

In the New Testament, Esau’s decision to sell his birthright is utilized as an illustration of ungodli ness—a “godless” person who will put worldly attractions over spiritual blessings (Hebrews 12:15 17 KJV). By his instructive example, Esau warns us to hold firm to what is truly valuable, even if it means rebuking the desires of the flesh. The Bible uses the account of Jacob and Esau to represent God’s calling and election. God chose the younger Jacob to carry on the Abrahamic covenant. In this reboot of the story of Jacob and Esau our characters; Felony and Suspect, manipulate each other’s weaknesses for their own personal good, setting the stage for their fall from grace under their own power. Follow these twins on their foray into the depts of overwhelming greed and deception for the love of money and see how that pathology self perpetuates across one generation to another, in “The Inheritance” a short story saga.
