Where are Israel's forefathers recorded?
Israel's forefathers are recorded in the book—the Scriptures—where Paul asks, 'whose are the fathers?' The list includes Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the twelve patriarchs, Joshua, Samuel, the judges, David, Solomon, and the prophets. This book contains the covenants, law, and promises given to Israel.
Les teaches that in Romans 9:5 Paul asks 'whose are the fathers?' referring to Israel's forefathers. He identifies them as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the twelve patriarchs, then Joshua, Samuel, the judges (Gideon, Samson), King David, Solomon, and the prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel). Les notes all these pertain to the forefathers of the little nation of Israel, and they are all recorded in this book. He also connects this to the covenants, law, and promises given to Israel, and the stage being set for prophecy to be fulfilled.
