What were the promises of the Abrahamic covenant?
The Abrahamic covenant promised that God would make Israel a separated, special nation of people, place them in a geographical area of land, and at the appropriate time come to be their king or set up the government, forming the Kingdom.
Les explains that the Abrahamic covenant was the covenant between God and the nation of Israel. God promised to make them a nation of people—a separated, special nation—to put them in a geographical area of land, and at the appropriate time to come and be their king or set up the government. This, he says, comprises the Kingdom that everything is looking forward to. He also points out that the Kingdom idea was on God's mind from the very onset of the book itself, especially after the call of Abraham, and he connects it to Psalms 2, where the Messiah is rejected, the nations are held in derision, tribulation comes, and then God sets His king upon His holy hill of Zion in Jerusalem.
