GENESIS ABRAHAMIC COVENANT

Genesis Abrahamic Covenant

Genesis Abrahamic Covenant

Introduction

The Abrahamic Three-Fold Covenant was foundational to all further Biblical Covenants amid Yahweh and His natives (Kline, 2007):

The pledge of land: Israel's ownership of the Promised Land — Deuteronomy 30:1-10

The pledge of kingly offspringss in the Davidic Covenant during which the Messiah is pledged — 2 Samuel 7:12-16

The pledge that all countries would be blessed through Abraham is accomplished in the New Covenant in Christ — Jeremiah 31:31-40; Luke 22:17-20

Genesis 12:1-3

God set off His covenant with Abram at the time he was dwelling in Ur of the Chaldeans, promising land, offspring, and a universal blessing.

Genesis 12:4, 5

Genesis 13:14-17

Lot as well as Abram take apart; God once more promises the land to Abram and his descendants

Genesis 15:1-21

God swears a son by Sarah during whom the covenant will grow bigger. The symbol of the covenant as circumcision is founded for all males from the 8th day of the child being born.

Genesis 22:15-18

The fastening of Isaac: evidence of the covenant during Abraham's agreement: "and in your offspring all the countries of the earth shall find blessing..."

As New Covenant believers we become the heirs of Abraham: Romans 9:6-8 "For not all Israelites are factual Israelites neither are all Abraham's offspring his young children, but as Scripture states, 'through Isaac will your offspring be called.' That means that it is not the young children of the body material who are the young children of God; it is the young children of the pledge who are to be advised offspring (Ellisen, 2003).

This good thing expressly mentions to the land “from the river of Egypt [not the Nile, but a stream that divides Egypt from Israel] unto . . . the stream Euphrates” (Genesis 15:18), which really proceeds after the boundaries of what we generally call Canaan (or Israel, or Palestine). Since the time of Abraham, some or that entire expanded locality has been inhabited by Abraham's posterity through Ishmael, Isaac, and the children of Keturah (Truman, 2001). When the Lord improved the covenant with Abraham's ...
