Did God just get a brainwave over making one family special, after seeing a guy named Abram doesn’t worship idols like his father does?
Or was it planned long before?
“God has not rejected His people whom He foreknew...” Romans 11:2
In Luke 3, Jesus’ ancestry thru Mary is carefully detailed,
all the way back to Adam, ‘the son of God’.
How is this possible?
“Then beginning with Moses and with all the prophets, He explained to them the things concerning Himself in ALL the Scriptures.” Luke 24:27
When we go back to Genesis we find the compilation of 11
‘toledoths’ or family records of Jacob’s ancestry – Mr. Israel. It is the
ancestry of the nation of Israel at conception.
According to Deuteronomy 32:8 here is what Moses told Israel...
“When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He separated the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples, according to the number of the sons of Israel”
How many nations were established at Babel? 70
Long before the Patriarchs were even born!
How many of Jacob’s family moved into Egypt?
70 Gen 46:27
God had always planned
to use Israel as His witness to the world, and thru whom Messiah would come!
