Subject: Why the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob? |
Bible Note: 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 |
