What is the Abrahamic covenant promise about all nations being blessed?
The Abrahamic covenant of Genesis chapter 12 promised that through Abraham all nations of the world would be blessed. That blessing comes through the seed of the woman, Jesus Christ, who went to the cross, was raised from the dead, and became the epitome of salvation.
Les teaches that the Abrahamic covenant of Genesis chapter 12 promised that through that man all the nations of the world would be blessed. That blessing comes through the seed of the woman, identified as Christ—the One promised way back in Genesis chapter 3. The context connects this to the seed of Abraham and to Christ, who would go to the cross and be raised from the dead, becoming the very epitome of our salvation experience. Les also moves to Romans 9:6, where "they are not all Israel who are of Israel," and goes back to Genesis 17 for further explanation.
