Our message this week is the fifth in a series illustrating how Jehovah God chose the Jewish People for a very important mission and gave them the land of Israel in the process. In the first message we shared that this is mentioned over 20 times in the Book of Genesis alone.
God Truly Wants Us To Understand This Message!
Last week we learned that God was to perform the miracle of granting Abraham and Sarah a baby boy to be named Isaac even though they were both well advanced in age. The Covenant God established with Abraham continues through Isaac.
In Genesis 26 Isaac is now an adult, God spoke to him in verses 2-5 and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham. I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed."
A number of times notice that the foundational verses of Genesis 12:1-3 are confirmed by God when He says He Will Bless His Chosen People; He Will Keep The Covenant Established With Abraham And All The Nations Of The Earth Will Be Blessed Through The Jewish People.
God Truly Wants Us To Understand This Message!
Also, Jehovah God proclaims again that He is giving the land of Israel to Abraham, Isaac and their descendants. Genesis 26:3-4 confirms this when God says TWICE to Isaac, "To your descendants I give all these lands." When God spoke to Isaac He was physically located at Gerar that is part of current day Israel. God clearly desires for us to understand:
Israel Belongs To The Jewish People! Amen And Amen!
May The Lord Bless You And Keep You This Day And Every Day,
Frank
