 Okay, so everyone can hear me okay online students all right good okay let's get into last class we we completed chapter one we looked at the different what is what is the covenant the five important covenants the covenant with Noah the covenant with Abraham covenant with Moses and Israel covenant with David and the new covenant the covenant as new creation okay chapter 2 is something that is very common and most of us know about this right that is God's covenant names now as a as God said he's the covenant maker he also has covenant names right now if you look at the Old Testament names were very important yes God told Abraham you change your name from a Bram to Abraham Sarai to Sarah he said Jacob from now on you'll be called Israel right and in the old covenant names were very important it basically described who the person is or what they're going to do in the future right now God has a set of covenant names right now we may think okay why does God have it is calling God no why do you want covenant names see here's the thing when God says he does something he does it because of his covenant and you and I can use his covenant names and what those you know what they are as you know as believers we can use them in our life right so let's look at some of God's covenant names before that Exodus chapter 6 verse 3 to 5 I appeared to Abraham to Isaac and a Jacob as God Almighty that is El Shaddai but by my name Lord I was not known to them I've also established my covenant with them I give them to the land of Kenna the land of their pilgrimage in which they were strangers verse 5 and I also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage and I have remembered my covenant now route all through time from the old covenant God revealed himself through his covenant names or with his covenant names right now each of these covenant names bear titles each of these covenant names is who he is and what he's able to do right so it's not for sure and when God says I am Jehovah Jairah that's who he is and that's who and that's what he does when God says I am Jehovah Rafa that's who he is and that's what he does even right so you and I as God's people we can expect when we are part of a covenant relationship with him we can expect all of his covenant titles or his covenant names to fall upon our lives to be upon us right because you're part of a covenant all the blessings flows with that right let's look at the covenant names number one Jehovah Elohim the eternal creator you know normally we sing songs of all these names right last you know we have these Hindi songs and English songs which talk about who God is Jehovah Elohim he's the eternal creator so how can I apply it in my life so I'm praying thank God right now I don't see an opportunity coming my way but you're a God who creates opportunities you are the Jehovah Elohim you're the creator or you're praying for somebody and you know this person has got some problem with his you know organs in his body saying God you are Jehovah Elohim you can create new organs that's who you are you understand why these names are important you're declaring who God is and what he can do to Adonai Jehovah the Lord our sovereign or Master Lord what is the meaning of sovereign everyone knows the meaning of sovereign sovereign means all-knowing okay supreme that's the word I was looking for supreme right that means there's nothing that he doesn't know he's he's sovereign over everything you sing the song Lord you are sovereign over us do we know what is going to happen next week to us we know what is going to happen next week we don't know but the Bible says in Psalms 139 he knit us together in our mother's womb even before a day came to us he has written all the days of our life why because he is sovereign he knows everything even before a day comes he knows what's going to happen next week he knows what's going to happen next month next year 2025 2035 2045 he knows it why because he's sovereign and when we say he's sovereign sometimes in our life we will go through ups and downs right everything's going well suddenly there's a problem that's when we can declare this God I don't understand what what I what steps should I take next I don't understand why this problem has come but you are sovereign over my life so I surrender myself to you you see how you can apply it in our lives what are you doing all you're doing is using a title of who God is applying it into your life three Jehovah Jairah the Lord will see and provide we all this is something common right we always say God will provide my pockets are empty Jehovah Jairah my God will provide right and this is a common one that we always use why do we say that because we know God will provide that's who he is it will not change but how he provides when he would provide that is his way the problem with us as believers is God when tomorrow next week will I receive next week can you give me a due date no God does not work in due date all he's saying is I am the Lord I will see that I will provide I am Jehovah Jairah you wait for the way I will provide so you and I as believers we pray they say God so for example you want to start your own ministry or some of you here going to become pastors right now to become pastor you you have to do certain things right you may need finances you may need people you may need resources to begin with so you say God I have nothing with me but I know this is what you've called me to do Jehovah you are my provider Jehovah Jairah that's what you're saying God I'm not depending on my ability but I am standing on what you said your name that's who you are that's your character you are Jehovah Jairah so you will provide but and I'm sure God has done this in each of our lives right sometimes it's noticeable sometimes it's not noticeable and then later we know who God only did this I didn't realize he is the Jehovah Jairah Jehovah Nessie the Lord our banner or you can say the Lord is our victory banner right when we say these words Jehovah Nessie we're saying God you are my victory banner like wherever I go you will cause me to be victorious but then some of us may say but where whatever I'm doing is a failure nobody is you know recognizing my skills and nobody's you know encouraging me I'm just doing everything on my own don't worry look at this says God is our Jehovah Nessie he will bring us to victory he will bring us to be he will cause us to be triumphant again the problem with us is we want victory immediately right but you know sometimes God will not give victory very easily he knows when to give the victory but he'll make us learn the hard way you'll make us go through a Caesar so allow God to of course we pray we say God this is who you are we stand on it but if it doesn't happen we don't say oh God what is this no continue to have faith okay God I know that you're there with me I don't see the victory but one day I will see it standing on who he is okay next Jehovah Rafa the Lord our healer now when you go to your settle group leaders or your pastors for prayer they say oh pastor I've got you know headache normally what he'll pray headache be gone in Jesus name because you are Jehovah Rafa why God is our healer right it doesn't matter how big the sickness is if it's a cold still God is our healer right now if you go over play in the rain and say I got cold God you are my healer now don't play in the rain God will say you wait three days the cold will go on its own you understand what I'm trying to say right now there are times we go through sicknesses illnesses even you know sickness in the mind emotional distress right God is our healer and so we are not standing on our own works we're standing on who God is now it took a long time for me to understand this you know I remember at an early age I used to go to these you know evangelist in meetings they would call me so I'd go to different parts of India and I would really pray right that's very young maybe 23 or 24 years old pray and say God you know these people are coming you should do something you should do some miracles here and you know the meetings would happen and people will come forward for prayer nobody will get healed I think myself I used to feel very bad as you say God am I wrong what is happening why people are not getting healed and sometimes I felt like okay maybe I'm not right but over time I realized that I don't have to put pressure on myself am I the healer am I the one who is going to bring healing to this person no all I'm doing is I'm standing on God I'm saying God you are the healer I don't have to do anything I'm putting my faith in you and you are the Jehovah Rafa so you bring the healing there was a switch you know that light bulb moment switch I my responsibility as God's child is to pray and faith God it is your responsibility to heal because you are the healer now you may heal now you may heal after one year you may heal after ten years that's up to you but I've done my part so I began a minister in freedom that is why I like to you know always encourage young folks don't worry don't worry about you how many certificates you have how many subjects you know no when you're praying for people for healing it is not you it is God God is saying I'm the Jehovah Rafa so you're standing on God's name and so feel free to minister to people right feel free to pray for healing now there will be times healing happens praise God but what if healing doesn't happen say hey continue trust God this is what God said he is so he will do it for you who want don't sit and ponder about it oh prayed no healing move on God will do it in his way right next Jehovah Shalom the Lord is our peace we go a little quickly Jehovah Rohi the Lord are shepherd now I want to talk about this what do you think about a shepherd I really when I say when you say when you look at a shepherd what are some of the attributes that come to your mind as a shepherd sorry protective using something okay what else okay think of shepherd and look at sheep everywhere what will the shepherd do number one protective okay man takes it to good place cares for the sheep right he's willing to give his life for the sheep right and and he's responsible to make sure that everything happens right he guides the sheep right now all of that the Lord is our shepherd so in the summer says no the Lord is my shepherd I shall not want he makes me lie down in green pastures now when you say green pastures for a sheep it's like for us you know enjoying the best meal imagine green everywhere full of grass and sheep is that they will keep eating they will eat eat they'll become tired and they will rest over there itself so Jesus God is saying the Lord is my chef David is saying the Lord is my shepherd I shall not be in want he will make me to lie down in green pastures but a shepherd has a shepherd stuff how many of you have seen that shepherd stuff right that stick with the now do you know that I think I've yeah some of them I've said here he guides us he leads us he's our provider yeah so this shepherd stuff right it is used to protect but it is your also used to bring connection your rod and your stuff they comfort me right now as a shepherd if God is our shepherd there are times he will correct us he will continue to correct us there's a time they will he may use the rod and the rod is painful but it's for our good you understand if the sheep is going on going the other side towards the main road he will go call it you say don't go there pull it you know say no that's not the right place to you come back come back then what will you do he'll turn that stuff and give one whack oh the sheep it'll pay in for the sheep but he'll know I should not go there why is the shepherd doing that because he cares for the sheep the same way God is our shepherd there will be times you know what he may bring the rod of correction to us but it's for our good yes or no right that's who he is right he is our Jehovah sitkin the Lord our righteousness he is Jehovah Shama the Lord who is present he is Jehovah Sabot which is the Lord of hosts Jehovah Mechadisham which is the Lord our sanctifier you know what is sanctify sanctify means to set apart to be made holy who makes us holy God makes us holy people the enemy the devil make us feel unholy you may say you've done these many sins you are unholy you better there's no use of you praying there's no use of you reading the word there's no use for you to you know study God's word there's no use that's the devil's work but you say hey Jehovah Mechadisham the Lord is my sanctifier have I made mistakes yes have I sinned yes but the Lord will sanctify me he will make me clean he will make me holy right Jehovah Elion the Lord Most High the Lord Jehovah Hussainu which is the Lord our maker Jehovah Elohimu which is the Lord our God Jehovah Eloheka which is the Lord thy God Jehovah Elohi which is the Lord my God so the point of all of this is that you and I as believers and use this covenant names in our life it is not meant to make a frame and only keep on the wall frames are good but it is meant to declare it over your life so make it a habit right as believers make it a habit wherever you are right you wake up in the morning say you you know you're just tired you're very good you are my strength you say God Jehovah Roy you are with me and sometimes we may feel you know we may feel far away from God say God I know you are with me you are next to me you are Jehovah Shama the God who's present and you may get up with full of body pain God I know you are my Jehovah Rafa my healer use them in your life make it meaningful amen right so let's go to chapter 3 understanding blood covenant are you sure we didn't do this we haven't done this okay okay understanding the blood covenant okay in the book of Exodus and then go on to Leviticus we see there were many offerings involved right and one very important covenant or an offering was the blood covenant so what is this blood covenant though it is the word the blood covenant refers to agreement or involvement of two or three parties by shedding of blood that's a blood covenant right now let me give you the example Abraham God sorry Adam and Eve sinned what happened after that they knew that they were naked God asked them how do you know you're naked why because the eyes are open now they knew they covered themselves in leaves what did God do he killed an animal and they've covered themselves in a animal skin first blood covenant a blood covenant is when two or three parties make a covenant by shedding of blood the shedding of blood can you give me the perfect example of a blood covenant very simple Jesus dying on the cross yes perfect perfect example of a blood covenant Jesus did not say okay your sins are washed away you believe in me you just believe in me your sins are washed away you have you're a new person no Jesus I'm gonna make it a covenant and not just a regular covenant I'm gonna make it a blood covenant that's going to be shedding of blood right okay so let's look at some of it and then we can learn more from examples right it's an agreement of shedding of blood when you and I enter a blood covenant with someone it is until death and a blood covenant between two people is the strongest born on earth out of all the covenants the blood covenant is the strongest it's like you're saying hey I shed my blood remember we we cut ourselves we put blood example right we put blood now I'm not talking about this you know this things that happen between youth no no no this is I'm talking about the covenant of God the blood that was the blood in the old covenant what it is signify and then also in the new covenant right it is your life it signified your love and your protection until death nobody could break a blood covenant just like that right because when the covenant is made it was binding forever I mean look at a few examples as well the blood's covenant ceremony was to announce the terms or words of the covenant and then it was ratified or sealed with blood it comes into effect the moment the covenant is backed up with your life and any violation of this covenant will cost life that means when the covenant is made if I choose to go away from this covenant my life is on the line I'm not allowed to do that over time what gave the people of Israel a series of covenants that is the Abrahamic covenant the Messiah covenant the Davidic covenant and the Messiah covenant now let's go through these covenants and see what we can learn from them okay the blood covenant with Abraham Genesis chapter 12 1 to 3 can maybe one of us read that Genesis 12 1 to 3 go ahead God told Abraham leave your country your family and your father's home for a land that I will show you I'll make you a great nation and bless you I'll make you famous you'll be a blessing I'll bless those who bless you those who curse you I'll curse all the families of the earth will be blessed through you okay let's also read Genesis 17 7 through 11 talking about the circumcision Genesis 17 7 through 11 Genesis chapter 17 verse 7 and I will establish my covenant between me and you and your descendants after you in their generations for an everlasting covenant to be God to you and your descendants after you was 8 also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are stranger all the land of Kenan as an everlasting position and I will be their God yes verse 9 and God said to Abraham as for you you shall keep my covenant you and your descendants after you throughout their generations verse 10 this is my covenant with the you shall keep between me and you and your descendants after you every male child among you shall be circumcised was 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flash of your foreskin and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you okay look at what God does God tells Abraham okay these are the things I'm going to do Genesis 17 I'm gonna bless you I'm going to make you the father of many nations I'm going to make you a great person now what is the sign of this covenant circumcision so every male child why male because they're going to take on the generation right one generation next generation comes to the male right so every male child must be circumcised right and so blood was shed and God is reminding Abraham and he saying this is a blood covenant that I'm making with you the covenant required Abraham to walk in obedience and walk in faith right it was it was shedding of blood God tells Abraham you do it and then every male child from generation to generation will get circumcised and when the day they're getting circumcised that moment you're getting circumcised remember that this is a covenant that I have made it's a blood covenant I've established it so I will fulfill it and I'm fulfilling it so even now if you look at the Jews they have they follow the circumcision it's very important to them why it's God told Abraham God told Abraham to do it it's a blood covenant now you know now people may not even know why they're doing it you know sometimes you come to a time generation where people do things because everyone are doing it blood covenant with Abraham God told Abraham because of you because of your faith because of what you are going to be the generations later I'm going to seal it with blood I promised you Abraham that when you look up to the skies you see the stars up there many will be your generation I'm going to seal it with blood so I am not going to break the covenant Abraham was faithful that's why we see the generation going on and on and on and on right there were blessings God gave the promise and he also signed it off signed off on the promise as a guarantee there were blessings promised to Abraham and to all his descendants as part of the Abrahamic covenant you think of this imagine one you know Abraham Isaac Jacob Joseph and imagine the generation kept going and there's one one group of people who you know they did evil in the eyes of God they didn't want to do anything but because of God's covenant with Abraham if you three read through the Old Testament every now and then you'll see I made a covenant with your forefathers a forefather Abraham so I'm not going to destroy you look at Chronicles first Chronicles second Chronicles the people were going against God they they sinned they did evil in the eyes of God every now and then you'll see that as I promised your the your forefather as I promised him as I made a covenant with him I'm not going to wipe you off I'm not going to destroy you you understand so the old when we look at it there was only one reason I would say that why God didn't destroy the people of Israel because he made a blood covenant with Abraham he said no I can't do this I will not destroy them because I promised Abraham it's a blood covenant are they doing wrong are they doing evil in the eyes of God yes but because of Abraham now you are part of the covenant so I'm not going to destroy you right the ultimate purpose of God's covenant with us is relationship it was not just so that we can receive all the benefits it was relationship the ultimate purpose and just as Abraham he was called a friend of God you know nowadays when people get circumcised it's not about relationship it's just you know it's just a task to do okay I'm a Jew I have to get circumcised it doesn't mean anything right and even later on when you look at in the scriptures when the Jews were you know the Israelites they were living in sin what were they doing they were going doing all the sacrifices following all the laws the rules and regulations but they were also sinning there was no relationship it was only oh what do you call that it was just something to get done a task to fulfill right but here it says the ultimate purpose of God's blood covenant was relationship second one Abraham believed God the shedding of blood made a covenant with God possible God established his covenant with Abraham with the blood look at this I'll read this Genesis 15 1 through 6 after these things after what things after God telling him everything the word of the Lord came to Abraham in a vision saying do not be afraid of Abraham I am your shield your exceedingly great reward but Abraham said Lord God what will you give me seeing I go childless and the air of my house is a laser of the masses and Abraham said look you have given me no offsprings indeed one born in my house is my air and behold the word of the Lord came to him saying this one shall not be your air but one who will come from your own body shall be your air then he brought him outside and said look now towards the heavens and count the stars if you're able to number them and he said to him so shall be your descendants and he believed in the Lord and he accounted it to him for righteousness look at let's look at the next one how did God ratify that means how did he establish this covenant with with Abraham now in Genesis 15 1 and 6 he's telling Abraham Genesis 15 7 to 21 then he said to him I am the Lord who brought you out of or that or the child of the Chaldeans to give you this land to inherit it and he said Lord God shall I know that how shall I know that I will inherit it he said to him look at this just picture this right God is told Abraham this is what will be you will be then Abraham is saying how do I know that you're going to give me a big land my own place with my own with you know like numbers of the stars in the sky I'm going to have a generation how do I know it I know you're God you're telling me how do I know it here's what God's reply is and he said verse 9 bring me a three-year-old heifer a three-year-old female goat a three-year-old ram a turtle dove and a young pigeon so God is saying all this right bring all these animals then he brought all of these to him and cut them into two down in the middle and placed each piece opposite to each other but he did not cut the birds in two and when the vultures came down on the carcasses Abraham drew that drove them away now when the Sun was going down a deep sleep fell upon Abraham and behold horror and great darkness fell upon him then he said to Abraham know certainly that your descendants will be strangers in a land that is not theirs and will serve them and they will be afflicted for 400 years and also the nation whom they serve I will judge after that they shall come out with great possessions now as for you you shall go to your father's in peace and you shall be buried at your old age but in the fourth generation they shall return here for the inequity of the Amorites is not it complete verse 17 and it came to pass when the Sun went down it was dark that behold there appeared a smoking oven and a burning post that passed between those two pieces on the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham saying to your descendants I've given this land from the river to the great river the river Euphrates then he goes on to explain who are the people who will live there now I want you to picture this okay everyone think about this in your mind see this happening as I'm saying it Abraham God is told Abraham right you will be the father of many nations now Abraham say how do I know okay God says go bring a three-year-old hypha a three-year-old female goat what what are the other things a three-year-old ram a turtle dove and some young pigeons so Abraham goes he brings them God tells him cut it into half right except for the birds cut it into half now when you cut an animal what happens blood is shed okay so Abraham did it cut it and he kept it in opposite directions except for the birds the birds are there Abraham doesn't know what to do he's just sitting there he falls into a deep sleep and then God speaks to him and says now I'm going to establish my covenant what happens God himself walks in between and I say God himself his presence his power his glory walks in between the burnt the blood the offering that was made and he says now the covenant which I told you is established I've established it I have walked through this blood and now I've established a blood covenant with you he also goes on to say listen Abraham your descendants will go to a foreign land for 400 years does that happen who goes Israelites are in Egypt for 400 years but they will come out and they will get back into their the land that I promised and so what happens here God himself passed between those two offerings blood covenant established do you think that would have increased Abraham's faith yes every time he's maybe sleeping he's saying when will I have a son no no no no I remember I cut that animal I put it there and I remember God walking through that and he made a blood covenant with me whether I'm 100 years old whether I'm 150 years old God made the covenant so I have to believe it right a blood covenant first one secondly when when he makes a covenant he changes our names he changes he gives us a new identity he gives us a new nature Abraham's name was changed he was an old man walking around called Abraham but now suddenly one morning God is telling the night God has told him you'll be a father of many nations change your name from Abraham to Abraham now he's Abraham father of many nations now his identity is changed right it's like in the national when we talk about it Bible call a student now suddenly after you graduate from here pastor identity is changed the thinking changes yes or no will you keep worrying about whether the tea is come or not you're not worried about all of that because your identity is changed right you your your thinking changes now you're a pastor but ten days back only you graduated that's okay your thinking changes new identity new nature then God says circumcision is the sign or the seal of the covenant use this before right if there's a if I give you a paper and I put the seal of the church or the seal of an organization it is valid but if I write and I say my name is Paul I am you know I'm the teacher and I just give it that person will look at the paper and return it back to you say go give it back to them it's moment the seal is dead at value for Abraham circumcision was the seal of the covenant and it followed on all through the Old Testament until the time of Jesus that the seal the covenant was there now what happened after the cross we don't need that anymore we'll talk about that later right because God made a better covenant with Abraham so what is Abraham in heaven saying but what about my covenant no God is saying I've got I've made a better one Abraham you don't worry who I'm sending my own son to die on the cross a blood covenant for everyone right okay next one Abraham was a friend of God God revealed reveals to Abraham what he was planning to do this is called fellowship and friendship the ultimate purpose of relationship now God didn't this tell Abraham I'm going to do this but he also gave some details of how he's going to do it but he tells Abraham Abraham your next couple of generations ahead 400 years they will not be in the land that I promised you it's like two friends talking he gives him details and Abraham was able to have that relationship because he was in a blood covenant you and I are in a blood covenant with Jesus I don't we sing that song no I'm a friend of God there are many songs talking about being friends with Jesus what a friend we have in Jesus why how can we call him friend because we are in covenant with him and a friend and as a friend we can speak to him and he will speak to us right look at here are look at a few examples of intercession based on the blood covenant relationship with God Abraham's test Genesis chapter 22 God tests Abraham now God is blessed Abraham with Isaac is it Isaac is growing up as a nice smart young boy he's probably in the steens God tells Abraham okay Abraham do one thing you take Isaac take him up that mountain and sacrifice him one more blood covenant second blood go Abraham was thinking why would I want to do that you said you'll bless me you said you made a blood covenant with me you gave me a boy he's grown up also and why would you want to ask him again but Abraham was faithful he said God is my friend and as my friend as a as I'm in relationship with him I know that he will only want good for me I can only imagine Abraham taking Isaac and going it's easy to preach on this when you're not married the moment you're married and you have a son you'll not even pick up this topic it is true I've preached on this Abraham and Isaac have preached my heart out after I had a son I try not to preach it's not easy it's not at all easy you think Abraham you think it's good looking at a young boy God is saying goes to sacrifice him think it's easy your own son I waited 25 years for this I didn't wait any years I waited nine months 25 years you're telling sacrifice but God Abraham knew that I'm in relationship with God I'm in a covenant he will not break my covenant even if he asked me to sacrifice Isaac he'll give me another son because he's made a covenant with me you understand that picture that Abraham had that's why Paul is writing in the book of Romans and he says just as Abraham believed God he's a father of faith even if Isaac goes he'll give me another Isaac if that Isaac goes he'll give me another Isaac he tells me to sacrifice three Isaacs I'll do it because I know that he will fulfill it that was the fate that Abraham walked in is it easy very very difficult as common as rule as you and I are in covenant relationship with Jesus we are to walk in that measure of faith but God is patient with us yes and he's helping us to learn and grow okay then what does he say by myself oh sorry a deeper revelation of God so Genesis 22 now Abraham is taking Isaac he goes up the mountain he's go ties him up he's going to kill him then Abraham lifted his eyes and look and there behind him was a ram caught in the ticket by its horn so Abraham went took the ram offered it as a burnt offering to his son and Abraham called that called the name of the place the Lord will provide Jehovah Tyra can you picture Abraham he's tied up Isaac he's ready to you know kill Isaac God says wait there's a ram can you picture how Abraham will be feeling when he's untying Isaac oh my son you're the covenant you see I told you God who God is you think God changes now he doesn't there's the offering you're not gonna go you're a God made a blood covenant with me there's the ram get the ram and come got the ram sacrifices and Abraham named it the Lord will provide you know a ram will not go so high up a mountain that's not what Rams are for Rams are not designed to go so high they're designed to be on land maybe a little height that's it Abraham went up the mountain God told this ram okay that raise your last day go up the mountain God made the ram go up was it natural it was not natural but God said I will provide right a deeper revelation of who God is imagine Abraham coming down that mountain I said I told you you know that's what he is he is a God who keeps his covenant he will not change and imagine his faith how much stronger it would have become but had a deeper revelation of who God is like then he says by myself I have sworn God backs up his covenant with himself Hebrews 6 13 and 15 for when God made a promise to Abraham because he could swear by no one greater he swore by himself surely blessings I will bless you and multiply and I will multiply multiplying I will multiply you and so after he had patiently endured he obtained the promise God swore by himself because there is no one greater than he couldn't swear on now as friends I don't know if you did this when he was small you and your friend are you know talking they say eat more as a holiday promise promise mother promise have you heard of that mother promise it so weird swear on your mother I said no no no it's school is there why why why everything changes because you swearing on your mother's life and God is saying there's no one greater I'm swearing on my own self meaning I'm telling on my the covenant is backed on me I am telling that I am doing this simple it's a promise backed by what I am saying so since I'm a God who doesn't change I will do it how I do it when I do it that is up to you that's why the verse says in Hebrews so after Abraham patiently endured he obtained the promise after enduring 25 years he obtained the promise right okay let's take a break we'll come back and continue
