Who does the Abrahamic covenant apply to after Abraham?
The Abrahamic covenant, originally made with Abraham, extends after him to the nation of Israel. It is an agreement that originates and ends in God, and it never becomes invalid, is never broken, and is never rescinded, regardless of what man does. Thus it applies to Israel.
Les explains that the Abrahamic covenant, found in Genesis 12:1-3, is the starting point for the kingship idea that Matthew later presents. Although the covenant was made with Abraham, it continues and falls into the nation of Israel. Les emphasizes that a covenant is an agreement that originates and ends in God, so even though it is made with man, it never becomes invalid, is never broken, and is never rescinded. This means its application extends beyond Abraham to Israel.
