"The Cards"

Jacob and Esau were twins in Rebecca's womb. How are we to assume that this War is not the Hands of GOD?
Odd.
What is not understood is the Good
Ness of His Mother Nature
Shall they take the time
To consider the sublime
Message being sent to them?
If the younger are to rule over the elder by a birthright deemed to be stolen
I would assume Fate
is Innate and
Must be holding
All the cards....
