75-1 Didn’t God hate the unborn infant Esau?

God prophesied to Rebekah before her sons were born that the older would serve the younger and that God would hate Esau and love Jacob. 

This does not mean that God hated Esau before his birth, although both brothers were born into the sin of Adam*, but Esau’s actions were evil in the eyes of the Lord so He warned Rebekah of this sin in His prophesy.

God was not unjust for hating Esau** because His love for Jacob was such a rare blessing under the Old Covenant that only God’s chosen people received it.

* Romans 3:23  “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,”

** Romans 9:14  “What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!”
