+------Ladder Of Opportunity; Jacob's Thoughts After Dreaming Of The Ladder 

It haunts me at night, my
fears. The stars transmuting,
fusing together to form a grand dragon
pale…the clouds, smoke fumes
discharged from his mouth’s
roaring. Red eyes glaring at
me like failure. In the distance, I hear
intensifying epithets of my father for
being deceived. I often wake
panting, sweat like streams fleeing
Eden recently lost. But this night, this land
is different, Angels as proselytes,
working fate, ascending and
descending a ladder of God in the sky
on my behalf. Like they want to
believe too…all of this isn’t chance.
Like my dream of a better life suddenly
calls; Heaven’s Gate unbarred, opening.
Bethel: city of my seed forever.

------Genesis 28:10-22
Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.  When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There above it stood the Lord, and he said: “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.” Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz. Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will watch over me on this journey I am taking and will give me food to eat and clothes to wear so that I return safely to my father’s household, then the Lord will be my God and this stone that I have set up as a pillar will be God’s house, and of all that you give me I will give you a tenth.”
