The Promise To Abraham Is The GOSPEL

[Davy]

This is definitely not... a false Jew's doctrine. It is a CHRISTIAN doctrine directly from God's Word, even shown early on in The Old Testament Books. However, the false Jews try... to hide it as much as they can. They don't like it because it bursts their trying to make the Promise only about being a chosen born seed of the 12 tribes of Israel.

In both Romans 4 and Galatians 3, Apostle Paul showed that before any giving of God's law, that God gave to Abraham a PROMISE, and Abraham believed God and God counted Abraham's Faith as righteousness. That is why Paul also said this about the Promise...

Rom 9:3-8
3 For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh:
4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service of God, and the promises;
5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Christ came, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel:
7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called.
8 That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed.
KJV

This is why Apostle Paul taught in Galatians 3 that The Gospel was preached to Abraham, that through Abraham's Faith all nations would be blessed (Galatians 3:7-9).

What exactly is included in God's Promise first given to Abraham by Faith, do you know brethren?? You should know, but because of political correctness and men's doctrines flowing in today's Christian Churches, this is not a popular subject; it might upset Jews who think only they are God's chosen to inherit with faithful Abraham.

1. God's Promise to Abraham: The Gospel of Jesus Christ - in Genesis 12 is when God first told Abraham to leave his father's house and God would show Abraham to new lands, and He would make of Abraham a great nation, and through Abraham all the families of the earth would be blessed. Abraham then came to the land of Canaan, to the plain of Moreh, and God said He would give him this land. Because this Promise involved all the families of the earth being blessed through Abraham, it involved The Gospel of Jesus Christ. Abraham believing God's Promise by Faith, and it was counted to Abraham as righteousness. Likewise, all those of Faith, have become the children of Abraham (Galatians 3:6--7).

2. "For all the land thou seest" - in Genesis 13, Abraham dwelt in the land of Canaan and God told him to look in four cardinal directions as far as he could see, then God said He will give that land to Abraham and his seed for ever. Now mind you, nothing had been mentioned about any law yet at this time. So as Apostle Paul showed in Romans 4 and Galatians 3, this giving of this land to Abraham was by Promise, not inheritance. It was a Gift from God's Grace. Abraham did nothing to earn it. It would be like father tells his son he's going to one day given his son a brand new corvette stingray, and the son believed his father. No strings attached, the father offered it by promise, and the son believed. It was the same with God's Promise to Abraham. And likewise it is with us who believe The Gospel Promise along with faithful Abraham.

3. "... I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth" - Gen.13, don't make the mistake of thinking this means only Jews. It doesn't. Per Bible history, the Jews only made up a small portion of the total number of Israel. The majority were made up of the northern ten tribes. Even the Jewish historian Josephus said in his day the ten tribes were still scattered beyond the river Euphrates, and were a great number of people, too many to be counted. He wasn't speaking of Jews. He was speaking of the ten northern tribes of Israel who were scattered first, and were not known as Jews.

But this great number of seed isn't only... about literal seed from Abraham. It is also about the believing Gentiles on The Gospel of Jesus Christ, just as Apostle Paul showed in Romans 9. This also is why Apostle Paul coined the term "commonwealth of Israel" that believing Gentiles had come into via Faith on The Gospel of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2). A commonwealth means a free assembly of nations, nations under Jesus Christ in this case.

4. "... I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee..." - Gen.12, I wanted to cover the idea of the scattered ten tribes first before this. This saying God said to Abraham is most often taught today to mean about the Jews. It's actually about those in the PROMISE of The GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. It's kind of funny that the unbelieving Jews think this applies to them when they reject The Gospel. No, this is for those who BELIEVE, not just because one is born of flesh seed. Want to try me on this??? OK...

Do the Jews in today's nation state of Israel control the borders of their lands? No, the United Nations does. That's why everytime radicals like Hezbollah stirs trouble up against Israel, and the Israelis get fed up and retaliate, they wind up having to give any land they took back. Not a sign of God's blessing, because they don't have but maybe only a 5th of the lands He promised David. And the treaty being worked for the middle east peace today involves giving away more of Israel's lands to an enemy that 'curses' them every day!

Does the nation of Israel have a king of the house of David upon a throne in Jerusalem today? No! Yet God promised David there would never fail a man of Israel to sit upon his throne, unto all generations (2 Samuel 7). And even Genesis 49:10 reveals that David's earthly throne still exists today, but has been removed from Jerusalem (in prophet Jeremiah's day) to some other location. So that Blessing in the Promise isn't there in Jerusalem anymore, and the reason is... are you ready? it's because David's earthly throne is part of God's Promise of The Gospel of Jesus Christ! (Acts 2:29-34; Luke 1:31-33).

5. "... brought forth bread and wine" - Gen.14, Melchizedek, king of Salem, and priest of The Most High God, brought bread and wine to Abraham, and blessed him. What did our Lord Jesus offer His Apostles at the last supper when giving them The New Covenant? It was bread and wine, wasn't it? In Hebrews 7, Apostle Paul points directly to our Lord Jesus Christ as this Melchizedek who met Abraham. The offer to Abraham of bread and wine makes sense, in regards to the Promise by Faith first given through Abraham, don't you think? Yes, it does, and reveals the Promise Abraham believed that God counted to him as righteousness is... The Gospel of Jesus Christ, The New Covenant, an everlasting covenant!

What else did The Gospel Promise to Abraham involve? Let's keep going...

6. "So shall they seed be" - Gen.15, this is in connection with children as many as the dust of the earth. God also showed it would be 'as many as the stars' also. This Paul applied to ALL believing Christians per Romans 9, even quoting to Roman Gentiles Old Testament Scripture originally written only to the seed of Israel (Rom.9 quoting the OT prophets Hosea and Isaiah). Abraham believed God on this, and it was counted to Abraham as righteousness (Genesis 15:6).

John 8 has an interesting little debate between our Lord Jesus and the false Jews who wanted to murder Him. They claimed Abraham as their father, but they also said they had never been in bondage to any man. Hmmmm...? red flag....? The children of Israel were in bondage to Egypt 400 years before God led them out through the hand of Moses. Those false Jews told on themselves, they showed they were not born Israelites. Our Lord Jesus rebuked them there too. What that shows is the false Jew continually tries to usurp God's promises to His chosen Israel when they don't even believe The Gospel Promise which God first gave Abraham.

7. "... from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates..." - Gen.15, that's the borders God promised to Abraham and his seed. Do we see the borders of today's nation of Israel reaching that far? No. Obviously then, that should reveal these promises are all about The Promise involving The Gospel of Jesus Christ. That realization won't be fulfilled until our Lord Jesus returns in our near future.

8. "...they seed shall possess the gate of his enemies." - Gen.22, Abraham's son Isaac is who God said would continue in the Promise. This blessing is about controlling the going and coming of one's enemies. The main purpose of God's Promise involved The Gospel which was foreordained before the foundation of the world. So of course He would bless the seed in The Gospel with protections like subjecting the gates of their enemies.

Where have we seen this through history. We first saw it in Bible history when God gave the children of Israel power to conquer the second influx of the giant hybrid race, even David slaying the giant Goliath with 'five' stones (5 = Biblical number of God's Grace). We saw it with God giving Israel power over the nations of Canaan. We saw it with Gideon, and even with the female judge over Israel like Deborah when the men of Israel at that time were weak minded. No worries, God would preserve His Gospel Promise through ALL... generations, including today. And speaking of today, what kind of power do the Christian nations have over their enemies? Don't believe the anti-Christian hype, not even from the ignorant Liberals and Communists who hate the free nations, especially the Christian nations of history. My point being, this part of God's Promise to Abraham can really be seen today established among the military powers of the Christian nations.

God's Blessings involving His Promise continue to Abraham's son Isaac, and then to Isaac's son Jacob. And to Jacob per Genesis 35:11, God said He would make of his seed "a nation, and a company of nations." We know the nation of Israel is that singular "nation" there, but who are those "company of nations" of Jacob's seed? That my friend is about the western Christian nations in The Gospel Promise. It further reveals that the Promise to Abraham and his seed was about The Gospel of Jesus Christ and those of Faith all along!!! And that is exactly the concept Apostle Paul taught too.

I like it...British Israelism.

It's not really British Israelism, which is a doctrine that the ten tribes wound up in Britain. The reality is that the "multitude of nations" involving the promise to Jacob and Ephraim in Genesis 35:11 and Genesis 48, involves ALL the western Christian nations in The Gospel of Jesus Christ! That means it involves the free Gentile nations under Christ Jesus also.

9. "...in thy seed shall the nations of the earth be blessed" - Gen.26, God said that to Isaac, continuing the Promise and blessings that go with it to Abraham's son Isaac. That confirms what Apostle Paul was saying in Romans 9 that those of the Promise are 'counted' as Israel, and not those of the flesh. This is also why Apostle Paul would teach about believing Gentiles becoming joined in the "commonwealth of Israel" per Ephesians 2. This even further... confirms that the Promise to Abraham by Faith was about The Gospel of Jesus Christ, and not about the law. So once again, why have the Jews missed this point in God's Word? It is very, very obvious. Yet they will continue to make the false claim that one must be flesh born of Israel to be God's Israel and in covenant with God.

10. "Therefore God give thee of the dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:..." - Gen.27, That was Isaac blessing his son Jacob, thinking he was Esau the elder, since the birthright is to go to the elder son. Yet God had already promised that the younger Jacob would rule over the elder Esau, and Esau sold his birthright to Jacob. The idea of the dew of heaven, fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine is put for having the best crop producing lands of the earth.

Have you every heard the phrase 'amber waves of grain' in the song America The Beautiful? Just where have the Christian nations traditionally dwelt regarding the lands of the earth? If you'll take notice, they dwell in some of the best resources and crop producing soils upon this earth! Do you really think that is by chance? And then look at the nations which deny Christ, look at their lands compared to those of the western Christian nations. Even the resources the poorer nations do have, it has taken those of the Christian nations to show them how to retrieve those resources out of their land for use. This blessing God has given the nations in Christ Jesus is not by chance; it is by Promise because it is part of The Gospel first given through Abraham. Alaska was bought from Russia in 1867 for roughly 7 million dollars, about 2 cents an acre. Although the purchase was originally considered a bad deal for America by those against it, the amount of natural resources and wealth it has produced has been astounding.

When Jacob's brother Esau returned from the field, he asked his father Isaac's blessing, but it was too late. Isaac had already given Jacob the birthright blessing. Esau still cried to his father for a blessing, so Isaac gave him one also. The KJV Bible blessing says Esau's dwelling would be among the fatness of the land too. Yet per the Revised Standard Version Bible (RSV) and (NAS) and (NIV), because of the Hebrew difference of 'away from', Esau's dwelling would be away from the fatness of the land, i.e., the reverse of Jacob's blessing. And so it has been.
