Why do the names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob keep appearing throughout the Bible?
The names Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob keep appearing because everything is based on the promise God gave to those three men—the Abrahamic covenant. God swore to give their descendants the land and to be their king, and this promise carries all the way through the Bible, into the New Testament and the book of Acts.
Les explains that those three names—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—pop up all the way through the Bible, well into the New Testament and the book of Acts, because everything is based upon the promise God gave to those three gentlemen. The Abrahamic covenant included God making a nation out of Abraham, giving them a geographical area of land, and one day coming to be their king. In the passage, God says He will bring the children of Israel into the land He swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and He will give it to them for a heritage. He can do this because He is the Lord, the Creator, and the Sovereign God. Even when Moses delivered this promise to the children of Israel, they did not hearken because of their anguish of spirit and cruel bondage, yet the promise remained.
