The First Hebrew received Promises identifying all the rest!
Abraham would give rise to a great nations through whom all Peoples of the Earth would be blessed (Genesis 12:3, 18:17).
All nations of the earth were to be blessed through Abraham (Genesis 12:3, 18:17).
Justice and judgement would be established in the world through descendants of Abraham (Genesis 18: 17, 22:15)..
Abraham was to be given The Promised Land stretching from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River which flows through Syria and Iraq and into Turkey (Genesis 15:17, 18, 19). This however was on condition that his descendants keep the Law (Genesis 17:7-8, 9 ).
Abraham was promised that many nations would emerge from him (Genesis 17:5).
Abraham was promised that his descendants would be very numerous (Genesis 22:15).
Abraham was promised that from his descents would come nations ruled by monarchs parallel to one another (Genesis 17:6, 16).
Abraham was promised that from his seed would come a people who would rule over much of the earth and control important sea-lanes and strategic thoroughfares (Genesis 22:15, 24:60).
Abraham was promised that the promises made to him were henceforth to be unconditional apart from those concerned with settling in the Land (Genesis 17: 9, 22: ).
A regurgitation (with changes) of Blessings to Abraham.
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were the forefathers of the Israelite People.
Jacob was renamed Israel. He begat the 12 Tribes of Israel. The future Blessings and destinied Tasks of the Chosen Peoples were already found in the Blessings to Abraham.
The Promises included a Spiritual Dimension and a Material one. The Blessings were for the Offspring of Abraham in their own right and also in order to enable them to fulfill their role in World Affairs. The Blessings at first were conditional on worshipping God, keeping the commandments, and Circumcision of the Flesh. Possessing the Promised Land was contingent on that. At first all the other Blessigns were also dependent on those conditions BUT after the Binding of Isaac they became UNCONDITIONAL.
Genesis (NKJV) 12:
1 NOW THE LORD HAD SAID TO ABRAM:
GET OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY,
FROM YOUR FAMILY
AND FROM YOUR FATHERS HOUSE,
TO A LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.
2 I WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT NATION;
I WILL BLESS YOU
AND MAKE YOUR NAME GREAT;
AND YOU SHALL BE A BLESSING.
3 I WILL BLESS THOSE WHO BLESS YOU,
AND I WILL CURSE HIM WHO CURSES YOU;
AND IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.
Abraham would give rise to great nations through whom all Peoples of the Earth would be blessed.
Genesis (NKJV) 14:
18 THEN MELCHIZEDEK KING OF SALEM BROUGHT OUT BREAD AND WINE; HE WAS THE PRIEST OF GOD MOST HIGH. 19 AND HE BLESSED HIM AND SAID:
BLESSED BE ABRAM OF GOD MOST HIGH,
POSSESSOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH;
20 AND BLESSED BE GOD MOST HIGH,
WHO HAS DELIVERED YOUR ENEMIES INTO YOUR HAND.
AND HE GAVE HIM A TITHE OF ALL.
Abraham gave a tithe (one tenth) to Melchizedek who at that time served as a kind of High Priest before God.
We in Brit-Am are not really priests. Nevertheless we serve a need to reveal the wil of the Almighty concerning the Lost Ten Tribes and who they really are. This is something that is really needed in our time. We too need the support of others.
Genesis (NKJV) 15:
12 NOW WHEN THE SUN WAS GOING DOWN, A DEEP SLEEP FELL UPON ABRAM; AND BEHOLD, HORROR AND GREAT DARKNESS FELL UPON HIM. 13 THEN HE SAID TO ABRAM: KNOW CERTAINLY THAT YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE STRANGERS IN A LAND THAT IS NOT THEIRS, AND WILL SERVE THEM, AND THEY WILL AFFLICT THEM FOUR HUNDRED YEARS. 14 AND ALSO THE NATION WHOM THEY SERVE I WILL JUDGE; AFTERWARD THEY SHALL COME OUT WITH GREAT POSSESSIONS. 15 NOW AS FOR YOU, YOU SHALL GO TO YOUR FATHERS IN PEACE; YOU SHALL BE BURIED AT A GOOD OLD AGE. 16 BUT IN THE FOURTH GENERATION THEY SHALL RETURN HERE, FOR THE INIQUITY OF THE AMORITES IS NOT YET COMPLETE.
17 AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN THE SUN WENT DOWN AND IT WAS DARK, THAT BEHOLD, THERE APPEARED A SMOKING OVEN AND A BURNING TORCH THAT PASSED BETWEEN THOSE PIECES. 18 ON THE SAME DAY THE LORD MADE A COVENANT WITH ABRAM, SAYING:
TO YOUR DESCENDANTS I HAVE GIVEN THIS LAND, FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT TO THE GREAT RIVER, THE RIVER EUPHRATES
19 THE KENITES, THE KENEZZITES, THE KADMONITES, 20 THE HITTITES, THE PERIZZITES, THE REPHAIM, 21 THE AMORITES, THE CANAANITES, THE GIRGASHITES, AND THE JEBUSITES.
The Promised Land stretches over a good section of the Middle East from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River which flows through Syria and Iraq and into Turkey.
Genesis (NKJV) 17:
1 WHEN ABRAM WAS NINETY-NINE YEARS OLD, THE LORD APPEARED TO ABRAM AND SAID TO HIM, I AM ALMIGHTY GOD; WALK BEFORE ME AND BE BLAMELESS. 2 AND I WILL MAKE MY COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND YOU, AND WILL MULTIPLY YOU EXCEEDINGLY. 3 THEN ABRAM FELL ON HIS FACE, AND GOD TALKED WITH HIM, SAYING: 4 AS FOR ME, BEHOLD, MY COVENANT IS WITH YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS. 5 NO LONGER SHALL YOUR NAME BE CALLED ABRAM, BUT YOUR NAME SHALL BE ABRAHAM; FOR I HAVE MADE YOU A FATHER OF MANY NATIONS. 6 I WILL MAKE YOU EXCEEDINGLY FRUITFUL; AND I WILL MAKE NATIONS OF YOU, AND KINGS SHALL COME FROM YOU. 7 AND I WILL ESTABLISH MY COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU IN THEIR GENERATIONS, FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT, TO BE GOD TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU. 8 ALSO I GIVE TO YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU THE LAND IN WHICH YOU ARE A STRANGER, ALL THE LAND OF CANAAN, AS AN EVERLASTING POSSESSION; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
Possessing the Land was conditional on keeping the Commandments, I WILL BE THEIR GOD.
The Nations of the Promise descended from Abraham needed to include:
Many Nations..
Exceedingly fruitful.
Kings of the different nations ruling parallel to each other, e.g. King or Queen of Britain and the Commonwealth, King or Queen of Belgium, of the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Denmark, Norway, Sweden. .
A Covenant to be established later connected with ruling ALL of the Land.
Genesis (NKJV) 17: 9 AND GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM: AS FOR YOU, YOU SHALL KEEP MY COVENANT, YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU THROUGHOUT THEIR GENERATIONS. 10 THIS IS MY COVENANT WHICH YOU SHALL KEEP, BETWEEN ME AND YOU AND YOUR DESCENDANTS AFTER YOU: EVERY MALE CHILD AMONG YOU SHALL BE CIRCUMCISED; 11 AND YOU SHALL BE CIRCUMCISED IN THE FLESH OF YOUR FORESKINS, AND IT SHALL BE A SIGN OF THE COVENANT BETWEEN ME AND YOU. 12 HE WHO IS EIGHT DAYS OLD AMONG YOU SHALL BE CIRCUMCISED, EVERY MALE CHILD IN YOUR GENERATIONS, HE WHO IS BORN IN YOUR HOUSE OR BOUGHT WITH MONEY FROM ANY FOREIGNER WHO IS NOT YOUR DESCENDANT. 13 HE WHO IS BORN IN YOUR HOUSE AND HE WHO IS BOUGHT WITH YOUR MONEY MUST BE CIRCUMCISED, AND MY COVENANT SHALL BE IN YOUR FLESH FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT. 14 AND THE UNCIRCUMCISED MALE CHILD, WHO IS NOT CIRCUMCISED IN THE FLESH OF HIS FORESKIN, THAT PERSON SHALL BE CUT OFF FROM HIS PEOPLE; HE HAS BROKEN MY COVENANT.
The Future Covenant included circumcision on the 8th day as the Jews do it.
Genesis (NKJV) 17: 15 THEN GOD SAID TO ABRAHAM, AS FOR SARAI YOUR WIFE, YOU SHALL NOT CALL HER NAME SARAI, BUT SARAH SHALL BE HER NAME.
16 AND I WILL BLESS HER AND ALSO GIVE YOU A SON BY HER; THEN I WILL BLESS HER, AND SHE SHALL BE A MOTHER OF NATIONS; KINGS OF PEOPLES SHALL BE FROM HER.
17 THEN ABRAHAM FELL ON HIS FACE AND LAUGHED, AND SAID IN HIS HEART, SHALL A CHILD BE BORN TO A MAN WHO IS ONE HUNDRED YEARS OLD? AND SHALL SARAH, WHO IS NINETY YEARS OLD, BEAR A CHILD? 18 AND ABRAHAM SAID TO GOD, OH, THAT ISHMAEL MIGHT LIVE BEFORE YOU!
Nations, Kings of Peoples.
Genesis (NKJV) 17:19 THEN GOD SAID: NO, SARAH YOUR WIFE SHALL BEAR YOU A SON, AND YOU SHALL CALL HIS NAME ISAAC; I WILL ESTABLISH MY COVENANT WITH HIM FOR AN EVERLASTING COVENANT, AND WITH HIS DESCENDANTS AFTER HIM. 20 AND AS FOR ISHMAEL, I HAVE HEARD YOU. BEHOLD, I HAVE BLESSED HIM, AND WILL MAKE HIM FRUITFUL, AND WILL MULTIPLY HIM EXCEEDINGLY. HE SHALL BEGET TWELVE PRINCES, AND I WILL MAKE HIM A GREAT NATION. 21 BUT MY COVENANT I WILL ESTABLISH WITH ISAAC, WHOM SARAH SHALL BEAR TO YOU AT THIS SET TIME NEXT YEAR. 22 THEN HE FINISHED TALKING WITH HIM, AND GOD WENT UP FROM ABRAHAM.
Ishmael to become a great nation BUIT NOT the People of the Promise.
Genesis (NKJV) 18:
17 AND THE LORD SAID, SHALL I HIDE FROM ABRAHAM WHAT I AM DOING, 18 SINCE ABRAHAM SHALL SURELY BECOME A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM? 19 FOR I HAVE KNOWN HIM, IN ORDER THAT HE MAY COMMAND HIS CHILDREN AND HIS HOUSEHOLD AFTER HIM, THAT THEY KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, THAT THE LORD MAY BRING TO ABRAHAM WHAT HE HAS SPOKEN TO HIM.
A GREAT AND MIGHTY NATION, AND ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM .... KEEP THE WAY OF THE LORD, TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE, THAT THE LORD MAY BRING TO ABRAHAM WHAT HE HAS SPOKEN TO HIM.
Genesis (NKJV) 22:
15 THEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD CALLED TO ABRAHAM A SECOND TIME OUT OF HEAVEN, 16 AND SAID: BY MYSELF I HAVE SWORN, SAYS THE LORD, BECAUSE YOU HAVE DONE THIS THING, AND HAVE NOT WITHHELD YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON 17 BLESSING I WILL BLESS YOU, AND MULTIPLYING I WILL MULTIPLY YOUR DESCENDANTS AS THE STARS OF THE HEAVEN AND AS THE SAND WHICH IS ON THE SEASHORE; AND YOUR DESCENDANTS SHALL POSSESS THE GATE OF THEIR ENEMIES. 18 IN YOUR SEED ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED, BECAUSE YOU HAVE OBEYED MY VOICE.
BY MYSELF I HAVE SWORN - Unconditionally.
Following the binding of Isaac the Blessings Henceforth became Unconditional. Strategic thoroughfares and passes.
All nations blessed in this people. They were expected to be a blessing to all other nations and also TO DO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUSTICE.
Genesis (NKJV) 24:
59 SO THEY SENT AWAY REBEKAH THEIR SISTER AND HER NURSE, AND ABRAHAMS SERVANT AND HIS MEN.
60 AND THEY BLESSED REBEKAH AND SAID TO HER:
OUR SISTER, MAY YOU BECOME
THE MOTHER OF THOUSANDS OF TEN THOUSANDS;
AND MAY YOUR DESCENDANTS POSSESS
THE GATES OF THOSE WHO HATE THEM.
Strategic thoroughfares and passes as possessed in the past by the British and today by the USA, All nations blessed in this people. Numberins hundreds of millions - as interpreted by the "Chatam Sofer," Rabbi Moses Schreiber, 1762-1839, probably the foremost Rabbi of his age. Lived in Hungary when it was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, see RABBIS QUOTED. Only Western Peoples, especially the English-Speaking ones, descendants of Joseph, have fulfilled all of these points.
