The Birthing of the Vision
ABRAM - God gave the vision to Abram, personally, as God
spoke to him on a number of occasions. Abram received the
vision for the first time. It involves him, his children and
the nations.
Genesis 12:1-3
Now the LORD had said to Abram: “Get out of your country,
from your family and from your father’s house, to a land that
I will show you. 2 I will make you a great nation; I will bless
you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who
curses you; and in you all the families of the earth shall
be blessed."
The vision is confirmed and Abram is told to obey
specific instructions.
Genesis 13:14-17
The LORD said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him:
“Lift your eyes now and look from the place where you are -
northward, southward, eastward, and westward; 15 for all
the land which you see I give to you and your descendants
forever. 17 Arise, walk in the land through its length and its
width, for I give it to you."
God again confirms the vision, and tells Abram to walk before
Him and be blameless. He and Sarai are both encouraged
and have their names changed as a further confirmation.
Genesis 17:1-6
As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall
be a father of many nations. (5) No longer shall your name
be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham."
The vision is confirmed and a specific time for its fulfillment
is given.
Genesis 18:14
“Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I
will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah
shall have a son.”
