What are the three main tenets of the Abrahamic covenant?
The three main tenets are: God would make from one man a nation of people; He would place that nation in its own geographical area of land; and at a future day, God in the flesh would be their King, fulfilling the promise of the Messiah and Redeemer.
Les explains that the Abrahamic covenant has three main tenets. First, God will make of this one man, Abraham, a nation of people. Second, He will put them in their own geographical area of land. Third, at some future day He, in the person of God in the flesh, would be their King. That third tenet is the promise of the Messiah and the Redeemer. Les connects these tenets to the 2000 BC call of Abraham, after which God dealt for the next 2000 years up to Christ's first advent with Jew only, with exceptions. He calls this period from Abraham until the church age the time of prophecy, the prophetic program, or the Old Testament program, which was interrupted. Les also notes that true prophecy, especially in the Old Testament, almost always put God's promises in a time frame, naming the day and the number of years involved.
