Call of Abram. Now we have humankind divided into 2 different parts, Jews and Gentiles.
Abram is the father of Israel, the father of all with faith.
Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will show thee:
Genesis 48:4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
Israel promised this earth and Israel promised a particular territory on this earth that territory called Eden
(See pt 3 of this lesson " Aug 9 2009 Eden Fertile Crescent 108-3")
See why all the fighting has been going on there down through the centuries. The fighting remains there today.
Genesis 35:12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
Genesis 28:10 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Genesis 28:11 And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Genesis 28:12 And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.
Genesis 28:13 And, behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed;
Jacob saw a ladder ascending into heaven. He saw the angelic host ascending and descending from what had been the control center of the earth.
Genesis 28:16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not.
Genesis 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
How dreadful..archaic English for how incredibly awesome is this place. This is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of heaven.
When you destroy the gates of your enemy you go right to the heart of your enemy. You go inside so to speak and destroy the power base of that enemy. This earth in that territory where Jacob was given to see is God's house. Was the gates. Was the power base at one time of the heavenly realm and God was claiming it back and he's going to do it through a nation, the nation Israel.
Matthew 5:5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
If you have ever wondered if you are going to inherit the earth forever or if you're going to heaven when you die, this tells you folks.
God has a plan for this earth. It pertains to the nation
Israel.
God has a plan for the heavenlies that pertains to you and I. That pertains to those folks today who will take God at his message through the apostle of the Gentiles, the apostle Paul.
Jacobs sons became the 12 tribes of Israel and Israel went into Egyptian captivity for 400 years. He sent Moses to go get them to get them out of captivity and to lead them to that land.
Lucifer had been there. God gave Eden to Israel.
Genesis 17:8 And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
Ezekiel 28:13 Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.
Ezekiel 28:16 ... I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God:
Isaiah 56:7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain,
Ezekiel 20:40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, there shall all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, serve me: there will I accept them,
Ezekiel 28:16...and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
Revelation 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Revelation 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
That city is going to be the capital city of the universe in time future and Israel will be dwelling there. Israel is going to be walking up and down midst the stones of fire in time future.
Every precious stone was Lucifer's covering ( Ezekiel 28- 13-16)
