1 | Why the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob? | Gen 50:24 | jbw | 85179 | ||
I personally believe that He referenced Abraham, Issac and Jacob to show that He is stable or that he has a tract record of doing what He says He is going to do. So,God would reference them so a person could back and read through biblical history that He never changed or wavered in his promises to these men in their times. Therefore He would not waver with us....just my thoughts.... | ||||||
2 | Why the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob? | Gen 50:24 | beva | 85216 | ||
I agree with your answer jbw. Whenever God was referred to as 'the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob', a covenant of some kind was being discussed. I agree that God was referencing His covenant by calling Himself 'the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'. Also consider this possibility... was God giving us an (earthly) representation of the Trinity? (Abraham was the father who was going to sacrifice his son Isaac, who agreed to be sacrificed, and Jacob was the one who had to submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit). And/or was God giving us 3 different types of leaders to look to? These 3 men all had very different personalities with different challenges that had to be overcome. Was God giving us examples of how He uses all different kinds of people to accomplish his will? What do you think? --beva |

You opened up so many thoughts with your comments my mind is just racing. All of the above could be correct. My mind is actually racing. It never dawned on me that the Lord could have been giving suddle hints regarding the trinity. Or the fact that they could have been leaders for us to pattern after because each one stayed with the Lord..hmmmmm Now that was good..If you're not a teacher of the Gospel you should seek the Lord about that thing...........that was better than good and plenty candy...(Smile)...really | ||||||
