D. Abrahamic Covenant (A.C.)
1. Characteristics :
a. It (A.C.) is to be literally fulfilled :
(1) Past aspects (e.g. personal blessing to Abraham; a son as an
heir) were fulfilled literally.
Genesis 13:2,14-15
"Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in
silver and gold."...
" The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted
from him, "Lift up your eyes from where you are and look
north and south, east and west. 15 All the land that you
see I will give to you and your offspring forever."
Genesis 21:1-2
"Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as He had said,
and the Lord did for Sarah what He had promised.
2 Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham
in his old age, at the very time God had promised him."
(2) Present aspects (e.g. nations blessed in Abraham) are
being fulfilled literally.
Galatians 3:7-8
"Understand, then, that those who believe are children of
Abraham. 8 The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the
Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to
Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed through you.""
(3) Future aspects (prophecies, yet future) will be
fulfilled literally (this is the study of eschatology – end times).
