Hey Bruce,
 
      Thanks for your response about Elijah.  When you mentioned that Elijah may not have been from the tribe of Isreal, it sparked a way way long ago memory of possibly hearing that in school.  I couldn't find any mention of it in my Bible, but I think I remember someone saying what you did about Elijah also.  Sorry to make a statement without fleshing it out.
 
       If you have the time, I would however ask you to help me to understand where the type of Rebekah and Isaac fit in with your writings.   Look forward to your answer.      Thanks
