What does Genesis 24 picture about the Holy Spirit and the church?
Genesis 24 pictures God sending the Holy Spirit out among the Gentiles to gather a bride for His Son, which is the church. Abraham sending his servant to a far country for Isaac's bride foreshadows the Spirit's present mission of calling out the church as Christ's bride.
Les teaches that Genesis 24 is a beautiful picture: Abraham sent his servant up into a far country to get a bride for his son, Isaac. That correlates with God sending the Holy Spirit out amongst the Gentiles to gather a bride for His Son, and that bride is the church. He also connects this to how the Old Testament program was interrupted and brought about through the conversion of the Apostle Paul, along with Paul's revelations of the great doctrines of grace found nowhere else in Scripture.
And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
