What did God promise Abraham about his descendants and land?
God promised Abraham that a nation of people would come from him, that He would put them in a geographical area of land, and that one day His own Son would come as their Messiah, King, and Redeemer, confirming the promises and covenants made to the fathers.
Les teaches that from Abraham would come a nation of people, and God would put them in a geographical area of land. He also explains that one day God Himself, in the person of the Son, would come and be their Messiah, King, and Redeemer. This was all promised in the Old Testament. He came to Israel first and foremost to confirm the promises and covenants made to the fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Even though Israel rejected Him, the promises made to Abraham were the seed through which Gentiles also might glorify God for His mercy.
