Lineage Journey

The next person of note in the biblical narrative is Abraham named Abraham at birth. He lived in I, which is located in modern day Iraq between the Persian Gulf and Baghdad. Accompanied with his family, he moved to Heron, which is located in modern day Turkey. He lived there for several years until at the age of 75 he received a call from God to move down to Canaan, complying with this command. By God, he and his family, his wife, his nephew, and his considerable belongings. He moved down to Canaan. God promised that he would make up Abraham a great nation, that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars of the sky. But the journey from this promise to its fulfillment was not a smooth or easy ride. His wife Sarah, was Barron, meaning she couldn't have children, and therein lies the problem. His earthly situation was at odds with the biblical promise. After living in Cana for 10 years, Sarah, his wife, told Abraham now 84 years old, that in order to fulfill the biblical promise, he should take Hagar, her Egyptian handmade and have a child with her. This he did. She conceived Boris son and his name was Ishmael. After the birth of Ishma, when Abraham was 99 years old, God changed his name to Abraham and again promised that he'll be a father of many nations. He was told he would have a son through Sarah, who despite her old age, believed in the promise and by faith, she had a son. Isaac grew up here in this country, enjoying life at home, looking after cattle, and enjoying the moderate climate. Then as a young man, his father had a test like no other. Abraham was told to take his son, his son that he loved, and take him to the land of Mariah and offer him as a sacrifice, packing up the donkey. The next day he left with his son, and on the way, Isaac asked him, where is the lamb? His heart must have been pierced and heavy, and by faith. He responded, the Lord will provide Reaching the top of Mount Mariah and still no lamb in sight. He built an altar and instructed his son, Isaac, to get on it, raising his hand to kill his son. He heard the Lord call out Abraham. Abraham. He responded, here am I. God said, do not lay your hand on your son or do anything to him. For now I know that, that you fear God, seeing you have not withheld your only son from me. This test of faith, this irrefutable faith, this trust in God, trust that God would fulfill his promise to make him a father of many nations. Trust to do anything that God asks is what sets him apart as being the father of the faithful. The three Abrahamic faith of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity all recognize the importance of Abraham and believed that Mariah, where Abraham offered up Isaac is where the Temple Mount is today located right here in Jerusalem. For Jews is where the temple once stood, and today they worship at the western wall. For Christians is where the temple would've been that Jesus worshiped in, and for Muslims is the third holiest sight. After Mecca and Medina, Abraham lies buried here in Hebron. In the cave of Ella, he was a great man of faith who trusted God's word implicitly, always in obedience to God's call. The Bible says that if we are Christ, then we are Abraham seed, and hes according to the promises. The blessings that will promised to Abraham and his children can be yours today when you reach out by faith and live a surrendered life.
