Rebecca said she saw him

[Groundzero]

I've heard this theme several times, and well, I wanted to know where it originated, since I have no idea where that could be found in Scripture!​

[/left][/left]

The verse is from a song by Mark Bishop, called 'You must come in at the door.'​

[/left][/left]

Well, Rebecca she said she saw Him​

​

​

Come riding up in the air​

​

​

Well it was so high you couldn’t get over​

​

​

The Bible does declare.​

​

​

​

​

​

So, just wondering, does anyone have any clue about this?​

[Arnie Manitoba]

I think the whole theme of the song is you must come in by the door (Jesus) . But to answer your question , I am not familiar with Rebekah making such a quote in scripture.

To be fair, I have also never seen the words "Amazing Grace , How Sweet the Sound" quoted in scriptures either.

It is probably simply a musician taking some license to promote a theme.

You Must Come In At The Door
V.O. Stamps/Yandell Marshall/Stamps-Baxter Music/BMI

Well don’t you know It’s so high (so high) you can’t get over it.​

So low (so low) you can’t get under it​

So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it​

You must come in at the door​

So high (so high) you can’t get over it​

So low (so low) you can’t get under it.​

So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it​

You must come in at the door​

Well, you can’t get there by walking​

And you can’t get there by land​

Now if you want to get to Heaven at all​

You must go hand in hand.​

And you can’t get there by walking​

And you can’t get there by air.​

Now if you want to see Heaven at all​

You must go there by prayer.​

So high (so high) you can’t get over it​

So low (so low) you can’t get under it.​

So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it​

You must come in at the door​

Well, Rebecca she said she saw Him​

Come riding up in the air​

Well it was so high you couldn’t get over​

The Bible does declare.​

Brother Jonah in the bottom of the deep blue sea.​

In the belly of the whale he stopped.​

Well he was so low he couldn’t get under​

He had to come to the top​

So high (so high) you can’t get over it​

So low (so low) you can’t get under it.​

So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it​

You must come in at the door​

Now old Pharaoh he drove those children​

Across the wide sea and he found​

That it was so wide he couldn’t get around​

So he went right through and drowned​

Now I told you folks how hard it was​

I made it plain to see​

So if you want to get o Heaven at all​

Come on and follow me​

So high (so high) you can’t get over it​

So low (so low) you can’t get under it.​

So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it​

You must come in at the door​

So high (so high) you can’t get over it​

So low (so low) you can’t get under it.​

So wide (so wide) you can’t get around it​

You must come in at the door​

Amazing Grace, however, is talking about something that happened to that person. This isn't the only song that uses such a reference. There is also a song by the 'Soul Stirrers' which mentions the exact same thing. I really can't see how the writer of the song would have made such a thing up. It doesn't quite click.​
