Bible Question: I have heard preached that God has promised the salvation of our families down to a thousand generations, or something of that effect. My problem is that I have looked and looked for that specific scripture and haven't been able to find it or one similar. Could any one please tell to what scripture this refers? |
Bible Answer: Perhaps you are referring to Exodus 20:6, Deuteronomy 7:9, 1 Chronicles 16:15, and Psalm 105:8. These are not to be taken as literal numbers. From the context, we can see that what is meant is forever. By looking at these same commands in other passages of scripture we can insure that that is what is meant. |
