Essential Studies.
Genesis 13 and 14, Abram’s faith in the promise tested (Additional studies: Genesis Index)
When the history of Abram opens, God is not anyone’s God. He has been rejected as God and as Creator at Babel. The rebellion at Babel introduced paganism among men as a religion, to replace YHVH, the Creator God, as God. But when God spoke to Abram, Abram listened to Him and obeyed Him. God’s instruction was, “Separate yourself, and I will make a nation of you, so that in you I might bless all the families of the earth.” You mean, all those seventy families from Gen 10-11 that just rejected YHVH as God and turned to serve the creature rather than the Creator? Yes, precisely all those families. The nation of Abram’s seed will have YHVH as their God (Gen 17:7), unlike every other nation on the face of the earth, and will be a blessing to all the other nations who have rejected God. Where is the vengeful, wrathful, judgmental, angry God of the Old Testament? His plan is to bless those families that rejected Him, by making a way for them to return to Him, through the nation of Abram’s seed.
