Who was comforted by God with a vision of a ladder reaching to heaven while fleeing from his brother?

Correct Answer

B) Jacob

Jacob was fleeing from his brother Esau when he stopped to rest at Bethel. While he slept, he had a vision of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven, with angels ascending and descending on it. In this dream, God spoke to Jacob, promising to be with him and protect him wherever he went. This story, found in Genesis 28:10-17, illustrates how God provides comfort and reassurance during times of fear and uncertainty. Just as God comforted Jacob with His presence and promises, He offers us His loving care and protection, reflecting the theme of God’s comforting embrace as highlighted in Isaiah 66:13.
