Genesis 12, the Promise of God

Gen 12:1, NOW THE LORD HAD SAID TO ABRAM: “GET OUT OF YOUR COUNTRY, FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FROM YOUR FATHER’S HOUSE, TO A LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU. 

Terah & his family (Abram) lived in Haran until his death, Yet before they got to Haran God had already told Abram to leave his country!

Act 7:2, …The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, BEFORE HE DWELT IN HARAN,

I believe that Abraham was taking care of his father Terah and, in his mind couldn’t leave because he needed help! Upon his death, God repeated HIS command to Abram!  HE DOESN’T GIVE UP ON US THAT EASILY!

Rom 4:3, For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS ACCOUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS.”

Gen 12:3, i will bless those who bless you, and i will curse him who curses you; AND IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.”

This promise still holds true today! ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED BECAUSE OF THE COMING MESSIAH! HE CAME ONCE AS PER THE SCRIPTURES AND HE WILL COME AGAIN!  BE PREPARED FOR HE IS NEAR!
