Bible Prophecy: Promised Seed Of Isaac.

Bible Text:

Genesis 17:19 KJV

And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.

Fulfillment:

Genesis 18:14 KJV

Is any thing too hard for The Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

Genesis 21:1-3 KJV

1 And The Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and The Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken.

2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

3 And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

Matthew 1:1,2 NLT (Matthew's Account Of The Ancestors of Jesus, The Messiah)

1 This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus The Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham:

2 Abraham was the father of Isaac. Isaac was the father of Jacob. Jacob was the father of Judah and his brothers.

Although, Abraham was 100 years old, and his wife Sarah, 90 years of age, they had a son and called him laughter, for that is the interpretation of the name Isaac.

Can God be trusted, to deliver on His promises?

Trusting In The Lord:

II Samuel 22:3 KJV

The God of my Rock; in Him will I trust: He is my Shield, and the Horn (Power) of my Salvation, my High Tower, and my Refuge, my Savior...”

As for God, His way is perfect; The Word Of The Lord is tried: He is a Buckler (Shield) to all them that trust in Him.

Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him..."

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in The Lord.

30 As for God, His way is perfect: The Word Of The Lord is tried: He is a Buckler to all those that trust in Him.

God's Wisdom:

Psalm 145:17 KJV

The Lord is righteous in all His ways, and holy in all His works.

Psalm 147:5 KJV

Great is our Lord, and of great power: His understanding is infinite.

Isaiah 40:13-15,28 NLT

13 Who is able to advise The Spirit Of The Lord? Who knows enough to give Him

advice or teach Him?

14 Has The Lord ever needed anyone’s advice? Does He need instruction about

what is good? Did someone teach Him what is right or show Him the path of

justice?

15 No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are

nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it

were a grain of sand.

28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is

The Everlasting God, The Creator Of All The Earth. He never grows weak or

weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding.

Isaiah 46:9,10 KJV

9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am

God, and there is none like Me,

10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that

are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My

pleasure:

Isaiah 55:8,9 KJV

8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith

The Lord.

9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your

ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Daniel 2:20 KJV

Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for

wisdom and might are His:

Romans 11:33,34 KJV

33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how

unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out!

34 For who hath known the mind of The Lord? or who hath been His counselor?

The Faith of Abraham

Romans 4:1-25 NLT

1 Abraham was, humanly speaking, the founder of our Jewish nation. What did he discover about being made right with God?

2 If his good deeds had made him acceptable to God, he would have had something to boast about. But that was not God’s way.

3 For the Scriptures tell us, “Abraham believed God, and God counted him as righteous because of his faith.”

4 When people work, their wages are not a gift, but something they have earned.

5 But people are counted as righteous, not because of their work, but because of their faith in God who forgives sinners.

6 David also spoke of this when he described the happiness of those who are declared righteous without working for it:

7 “Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight.

8 Yes, what joy for those whose record The Lord has cleared of sin.”

9 Now, is this blessing only for the Jews, or is it also for uncircumcised Gentiles? Well, we have been saying that Abraham was counted as righteous by God because of his faith.

10 But how did this happen? Was he counted as righteous only after he was circumcised, or was it before he was circumcised? Clearly, God accepted Abraham before he was circumcised!

11 Circumcision was a sign that Abraham already had faith and that God had already accepted him and declared him to be righteous—even before he was circumcised. So Abraham is the spiritual father of those who have faith but have not been circumcised. They are counted as righteous because of their faith.

12 And Abraham is also the spiritual father of those who have been circumcised, but only if they have the same kind of faith Abraham had before he was circumcised.

13 Clearly, God’s promise to give the whole earth to Abraham and his descendants was based not on his obedience to God’s law, but on a right relationship with God that comes by faith.

14 If God’s promise is only for those who obey the law, then faith is not necessary and the promise is pointless.

15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)

16 So the promise is received by faith. It is given as A Free Gift. And we are all certain to receive it, whether or not we live according to the law of Moses, if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe.

17 That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed in the God who brings the dead back to life and who creates new things out of nothing.

18 Even when there was no reason for hope, Abraham kept hoping—believing that he would become the father of many nations. For God had said to him, “That’s how many descendants you will have!” 19 And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though, at about 100 years of age, he figured his body was as good as dead—and so was Sarah’s womb.

20 Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God.

21 He was fully convinced that God is able to do whatever he promises.

22 And because of Abraham’s faith, God counted him as righteous.

23 And when God counted him as righteous, it wasn’t just for Abraham’s benefit. It was recorded

24 for our benefit, too, assuring us that God will also count us as righteous if we believe in Him, the one who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead.

25 He was handed over to die because of our sins, and He was raised to life to make us right with God.

Dear friend, do you have “faith,” in The Lord?

Not just belief in, but total acceptance of God's Son?

Salvation involves, repentance of sin, and acceptance of The Lord Jesus as your personal Savior.

II Corinthians 5:21 KJV

For He (God The Father) hath made Him (Jesus, His Son) to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.

Salvation Prayer:

'Acts 2:21 KJV

“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of The Lord shall be saved.”

Acts 4:12 KJV

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

Romans 6:23 KJV

“For the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 10:9l, 10 KJV
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth The Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto Salvation.
