The Promise of National & Universal Redemption

The Promise of Numerous Descendents Forming

A “…Go forth from your country, and from your father’s house, to the land which I will show you.” (Ge.12:1)

A  “And I will bless those who bless you, and the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” (Ge.12:3)

A  “And I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you, and make your name great; and so you shall be a blessing” (Ge.12:2)

A14…Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward; 15for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever. …17Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you.” (Ge.13:14-15, 17)

A  “And in your descendants all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” (Ge.22:18)

A  “And I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth; so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered” (Ge.13:16)

P3Then the Lord your God will restore you from captivity…4If your outcasts are at the ends of the earth, from there the Lord your God will gather you…5And the Lord your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it; and He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers.” (De.30:3-5 select)

A  “Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as referring to many, but rather to one, “And to your seed,” that is, Christ.” (Ga.3:16)

D  11…The Lord also declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you. …13He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. …16And your house and your kingdom shall endure before Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.” (2Sa.7:11-17 select)

P33As I live, declares the Lord God, surely with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm and with wrath poured out, I shall be king over you…37And I shall make you pass under the rod, and I shall bring you into the bond of the covenant;…41and I shall prove Myself holy among you in the sight of the nations. 42And you will know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land which I swore to give to your forefathers. …44Then you will know that I am the Lord when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel, declares the Lord God.” (Ek.20:33-44 select)

N  31Behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah, 32not like the covenant which I made with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out o the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, although I was a husband to them, declares the Lord. 33But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord, I will put My law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” (Je.31:31-40, select)

A  2And I will establish My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly. 3And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying, 4As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. 5No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I will make you the father of a multitude of nations. …7And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. 8And I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.” (Ge.17:1-8 select)

 

N  6But now He has ordained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. 7For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. …13When He said, ‘A new covenant,’ He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear.” (He.8:6-13 select).

D  20Thus says the Lord, If you can break My covenant the day, and My covenant for the night, so that day and night will not be at their appointed time, 21then My covenant may also be broken with David My servant that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and with the Levitical priests, My ministers. (Je.33:20-21; see 31:35-37)

Abraham’s land promises are developed in the Palestinian covenant; the seed promises are developed in the Davidic covenant; and the blessing promises are developed in the New covenant.
