This message is extremely profound. I've never thought of Abraham's "leaving" as that extensive. It points out how rooted, connected, an associate who and what we are with the physical and our temporal surroundings.
Abraham’s family were idolaters. This is why God told him to leave his family, country and nation to a place where He would bless him. Blessing him so that he would NOT be tainted by “IDOLATRY”. When God tells YOU to leave a place, LEAVE.
So true what Voddie said. You can be blacker than me, but if you speak like Voddies here in Africa, you’ll not be considered a POC or a minority, but simply an American. You are no different than the white man. But as Christians we are all one family.
Abraham was not a Jew either. Or noah Or Adam Israel wasn't even a Jew. His sons, now that's where you can say it started. And also remember. The Holy Land was Canaan. And Jerusalem was always known as Holy Ground. The Canaanites knew this. It's where the name comes from. Salem. It means Gods garden or land or something like that. Stop letting people teach you. Let The Holy Spirit teach you.
@@suzieaguilar397 I wouldn’t say that God completely cut off His relationship with Israel at the time His Son was executed. In fact, Jesus foretold the end of God’s covenant with the nation as a whole in Mark 13:14-18 and Luke 21:20. He echoed the words of the prophet Daniel found in Daniel 9:27, 11:31, and 12:11. In Luke 21:20, the armies surrounding Jerusalem-specifically the Roman army that laid waste to Jerusalem and destroyed the final Temple in 70 AD-marked the moment when God officially ended His covenant with the nation of Israel.
@toreyhorton1789 He gifted them with an extra forty years, so that the Apostles could evanelize them. They began with Jerusalem, the outer suburbs, the towns radiating around thag area. Then can God's wrath from 67 - 70 a.d. Remember please that Messiah was there walking in their towns, and the Pharsees were plotting His death. I was writing only about the old Covenant for the ancient nation, for which Christ died. The famous priest Galieel (spelling), God spoke through him, had him say, "It is better for One to die, than for all the people of Israel to die. It was written to be an everlasting covenant, maintained or ended by the death of Christ. He then began the New Covenant Church.
Abraham wasn't a Jew either. He was called a Hebrew in Genesis 14 before God gave the covenant of the circumcision to him. First time the word Jew(s) was used was 2 Kings 16:6. This was when Ahaz began to reign king of Judah. Long after the time Israel split into two nations. Israel to the north, and Judah to the south. The Hebrews of the south, Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, started to be called Jews. Not sure how Abraham's linage became known as Hebrews. Maybe from an ancestor Eber. But I don't know why that would be.
@eodee8459, Yes, Abraham (Abram) was a Gentile from the land of Ur of the Caldeans. God called Abram to leave his land and to follow Him into the land, which He was giving to Abe's descendants. Abram obeyed Him, and I think it is recorded in Genesis chapter 15, that tells us that Abraham believed God, and was "saved"; today we know it is the way one becomes a believer in Christ and is given the gift of salvation.
@@suzieaguilar397Abram was not a gentile. Abraham was called a Hebrew in Genesis 14. That was before the covenant of the circumcision. While there was an isle of the gentiles in Genesis 10. The distinction was made between the two by circumsion. Abrams linage thru Issac were the Hebrews.. Also, be careful about comparing that Abraham was "saved" by believing God to the way the church is saved. For one thing, the scriptures say that Abraham believed God and it was imputed to him for righteousness. That isn't how Christians get saved. Abraham was before the law, the church came after the law was fulfilled by Jesus Christ. The church follows Jesus Christ, not Abraham. To be born again, the church must follow Christ in his death burial and resurrection. Repentance, dying out to sin, baptism in water in the name of Jesus Christ, buried with him in baptism, washing away our sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Being filled with the Holy Ghost, resurrecting to walk in the newness of life. That's God's one and only plan for the new testament church.
Came here to say the same thing. It's also valuable to note that the term jew was used as a pejorative against an apostate nation that the surrounding people also didn't like.
Indeed, Abraham was neither a Jew nor an Israelite. It's simply impossible to be the child of your own grandson. The term "Israelites" refers to the descendants of Israel. Abraham is recognized as a Hebrew. Genesis 14:13 While all the children of Israel were of Hebrew descent, not all Hebrews were descendants of Israel. Moreover, the promise spoke of in Galatians 3:7-18 always included Gentiles. Why? The promise was made to a Gentile man named, Abram ie Abraham. He was not a Jew or a descendant of Israel. Genesis 12:3, 18:18
Romans 11:1-2a I say then, has God cast away His people? Certainly not! For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 2 God has not cast away His people whom He foreknew. Roans 11:11-12 I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. 12 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness! There is NO excuse for replacement theology. If we choose to not trust God's Word and follow the plans He has made for the opportunity of the salvation to come for all people/nations to be saved then we are ignoring the value the Jewish people have and exalting our own way to fulfill the Great Commission. Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.

@richardhicks, Have you heard of the church? Modern day Israel is a political nation, dating back to '40's. England helped them bc they possessed the land that had been ancient Israel.
@suzieaguilar397 It was always Israel just because some country helped it to declare itself a state does not make it any different to what it was in ancient times. Ignorance is not an excuse.
@thomasdavenport7935 tell me you don't understand Hebrew Israelite doctrine without telling me .... they say no Gentiles can be saved .. with Abraham alone that shuts down their doctrine , how about you read
The descendants of Jacobs clan who left Egypt and created a covenant with God were called Israel. The merenptah stele has a reference of Israel. This is not speaking just of Judah. I would study ancient near eastern clans and tribes.
@ What is one times one times one? God is One. No reason at all the Trinity cannot be One. However the Father is not the Son nor the Holy Spirit, The Son is not the Father nor the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit is not the Father nor the Son. Each of the three is God, but God is not the Father, God is not the Son, and God is not the Holy Spirit. The three are One, and God is One. I believe the Bible.

Love this, now that's a lesson it's like looking at a picture you have owned for years, and then you noticed something all together new about it
Amen. Keep us strong in your spirit Lord
It is not just Christ coming in and fixing some things. It is us centering ourselves around Christ and being fixed by Him.
WOW 🤯🤯🤯 This word is a revelation 😲

You sound knowledgeable about this; are you?
I'm a long time Christian, but I have a question about this.
Do you know more about Abraham?
@ Read the bible and you will know about Abraham...
Abraham was not a Jew
Jews are those from and named.after the Tribe of Judah
The Tribe of Judah did not exist until 3-4 generations after Abraham
@LynnRene
You can learn more about this stuff but you'll need to get your hands on old-ish books and study yourself.

Abraham’s father made idols for living. Abraham spoke with God. God told him to leave the idols and he believed God and obeyed.

A Covenant people. That all the nations of the earth shall be blessed. Salvation is of the Jews❤. John chapter 4.
Ancient 'ews, and I can give you the name of a ministry over there in the modern nation, if you want the name.
The ancient Jews were, not the modern groups who misappropriated that designation.

All 12 tribes are true Jews.
@ no all Jews are Israelites but not all Israelites are Jews…(12 tribes) Judah is just one tribe of Isreal
@thomasdavenport7935 how do you not understand this?
@brianringham9745 you are correct ma'am!!!
Hebrews, Israelites and jews, in that order. Abraham was not a jew
Technically even Abraham isn't a Jew because a new is the descendant of Judah. Abraham is an ancestor of The Jews and he is a Hebrew.
@ngatatan, Yes, Abraham was a Gentile. Read about him in the book of Genesis.
Being called a White Man when you are a Black Man is not a positive or a compliment. What he sounds like and look like are two different realities.
And God will protect those people, and those who stand against Israel stand against God.
