Les Feldick Bible Study

Did the covenant promises to Abraham continue through Ishmael or through Isaac?

The covenant promises given to Abraham continued through Isaac, the promised son, not through Ishmael. The context states that the covenants would continue not through Ishmael but through Isaac. This identifies Isaac as the heir of the Abrahamic covenant line, according to the promise, rather than Ishmael.

Les teaches that the promise to Abraham was that the covenants would continue, not through Ishmael, but through the promised son, Isaac. He presents this as the finished point from the previous program and emphasizes that the covenant line goes through Isaac rather than Ishmael. The surrounding context also notes that this is an informal Bible study, but the specific covenant promise is stated clearly: it continues through Isaac.
