I will make of thee a great nation and through thee bless each family” He went forth the land of Canaan and God said “unto thy seed I give this land”.

God made a covenant with Abram that their bondage not be in vain “The river of Egypt to the Euphrates unto thy seed have I given this land all. This I promise the nation of Israel should they hearken unto my call” God said “thy name shall be Abraham - a father to many nations have I made thee. I will make thee exceedingly fruitful and kings of thy numbered seed will be” “Between us an everlasting covenant will you and thy seed follow long after you, and as a token betwixt you and me shall ye be circumcised old and new” And God said unto Abraham “behold that Sarah, thy wife, shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Issac and he will see my covenant done” God did tempt and test Abraham that alas he take his only son for a sacrifice, and he bound Issac upon an altar and took his knife that he pay a price The angel of The Lord called to him saying “Abraham, Abraham, here am I, lay not thine hand upon the lad and fear not that thy son must die” The angel of The Lord called again saying “that because you in obedience did, I will multiply thy seed as the stars and posses thy gate of all foes amid Written: September 2010
