God made Promise to Abraham Part 2

‘Obtained the promise.’ The promise referred to in this verse is the supernatural birth of Isaac, but forty-eight promises were given to Abraham (continues): I will multiply you exceedingly (Gen. 17:2; 22:17). You will be the father of many nations (Gen. 17:5-6). I will make you exceedingly fruitful (Gen. 17:6). Kings shall come from you. I will make a covenant with your seed eternally (Gen. 17:7). I will be a God to you and your seed (Gen. 17:7-8). I will bless your wife (Gen. 17:16). I will give you a son from her (Gen. 17:16-19). She shall be a mother of many nations (Gen. 17:16). Kings shall come of her. I will establish My everlasting covenant with Isaac and his seed (Gen. 17:19-21). I will bless Ishmael (Gen. 17:20). I will make him fruitful. I will multiply him abundantly. He shall beget twelve princes. I will make him a great nation. Sarah shall have a son next year (Gen. 17:21; 18:10, 14). I will not destroy Sodom if I find fifty righteous people (Gen. 18:26). I will not destroy the city if I find forty-five righteous people (Gen. 18:28). I will not destroy it if I find forty righteous people (Gen. 18:29). I will not destroy it if I find thirty righteous people (Gen. 18:30). I will not destroy it if I find twenty righteous people (Gen. 18:31). I will not destroy it if I find ten righteous people (Gen. 18:32). In Isaac shall your seed be called (Gen. 21:12). I will multiply your seed as the sand in number (Gen. 22:17). Your seed shall be the victor over their enemies. In your seed shall all nations be blessed (Came through the Gospel and Jesus Christ).

God made Promise to Abraham Part 1

‘Swore by himself.’ There was none greater than He to whom He could appeal, so He pledged His own eternal power to fulfil the promise.

‘Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee.’ This is the 16th Old Testament prophecy in Hebrews (6:14; Gen. 22:17) and is fulfilled.

‘Obtained the promise.’ The promise referred to in this verse is the supernatural birth of Isaac, but forty-eight promises were given to Abraham: I will show you the land (Gen. 12:1). I will make of you a great nation (Gen. 12:2). I will bless you (Gen. 12:2; 22:17). I will make your name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless them that bless you (Gen. 12:3). I will curse them that curse you. In you all nations will be blessed (Gen. 12:3; 22:18). I will give this land to your seed forever (Gen. 12:7; 13:14-17; 15:18-21; 17:8). I will make your seed as the dust in number (Gen. 13:16). I am your shield (Gen. 15:1). I am your great reward (Gen. 15:1). Your own son shall be your heir (Gen. 15:2-4). Your seed shall be as the stars in number (Gen. 15:5; 22:17). Your seed shall be strangers and oppressed for 400 years (Gen. 15:13). I will punish their oppressors (Gen. 15:14). I will bring your seed out of bondage (Gen. 15:14-16. Fulfilled in Exo. 12:1-51). I will bless your seed with great material substance (Gen. 15:14). You will die in peace (Gen. 15:15). You will be buried in a good old age. I will make an eternal covenant with you (Gen. 17:4, 7).
