How does the Lineage of Esau show God's fulfillment of His promise to Abraham?
The lineage of Esau is irrelevant to God's promise to Abraham, the promise will be fulfilled by Jesus Christ, who is of the lineage of Jacob, Esau's twin brother.
Why did god hate esau?
In the Bible, God did not hate Esau. God's relationship with Esau was complex and ultimately came down to the choices Esau made in his life, particularly in selling his birthright. God's actions towards Esau were a response to his behavior rather than hatred.
When God got mad at Esau to whom did God gave Esau's inheritance instead?
There is no evidence from the Bible itself, that God got mad at Esau. Esau surrendered his birthright because he valued food more highly. This is a case of 'short term gain, long term pain.' It also was prophesied, even before birth, that the birthright belonged to Jacob. 'The elder shall serve the younger.'
Did ishmael and esau worship the same god as Abraham?
Yes, Ishmael and Esau did worship the same God as Abraham, who is considered the patriarch of the Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam). They all followed the monotheistic faith that believes in one God.
Was Jacob or Esau really evil?
It is missing the mark to think of either Jacob or Esau as evil. The story of the twins is obviously mythical in its origin, as evidenced by the passage that tells of them fighting in the womb and the new-born Jacob holding onto Esau's heel (Genesis 25:26). Jacob was successful because of his deceit, but was nevertheless favoured by the Israelites over Esau, and they came to believe him to be their real forefather. Arguably the earliest origins of the myth were of Jacob as the moon god, while Esau was the sun god. Esau was red and hairy (Genesis 25:25) just as the sun was depicted. The early Israelites favoured the moon god, for which we can see many allusions in the Old Testament, and Esau went to the east, where the sun rises. The ancient Near Eastern myths saw constant tension between the moon god and the sun god, each vying for the attention of their father. A fragment of the story of the rivalry between the two, although Esau is not named, is the famous one of Jacob wrestling all night with a god who had to leave when the sun rose.
Why did God favor Jacob?
Because God needed it for Jacobs future.God allowed Esau to choose with his own free-will to sell his birthright (Genesis ch.25), because Jacob was the worthier of the two.
Who were the two twins of Isacc and rebekah?
Your are probably referring to Jacob and Esau. They were twins born to Isaac and Rebekah. God chose Jacob to continue the Hebrew (Israel) race and He rejected Esau. Esau became the "father" of the Edomite's. They would be distant cousins of Israel. To read of the fascinating story of Jacob and Esau see Genesis, chapter 27.
What did rebekah feel when Jacob and esau were in her tummy?
Jacob would kick when she would pass a house of God, and Esau would kick when they would pass a house of idol worship.

The Bible does not say that God chose Jacob; in fact Jacob's success is explained in the Bible as coming about by Jacob's repeated unethical conduct, which would presumably be anathema to God.
