The Plan
Prophecy Thread of Week 11
Noah Webster's 1828 Dictionary Definition of Truth:
Conformity to fact or reality; exact accordance with that which is, or has been, or shall be. The truth of history constitutes its whole value. We rely on the truth of the scriptural prophecies.
ABRAM TO BE A BLESSING (FATHER OF MANY NATIONS)
God promised Abram that he would be the father of many nations, even though he was nearly one hundred years old. Isaac was his firstborn through Sarah. This line would eventually bring Jesus the Messiah. Moreover, because of Jesus all nations can experience the blessing, if they believe on Him. In the future, after Jesus returns all nations will surely be blessed when war is removed and replaced with peace that the world has not known since before the fall of humanity.
