Abraham stands in the same position as Noah for all who have lived since his day, as far as eternal blessings are concerned … He was promised the land of Canaan as an everlasting inheritance for him and for his seed. “And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.” (Genesis 13:16.) This has reference to eternal increase, for no man’s seed could exceed in number the dust particles of the earth. “Look now toward heaven,” the Lord said, “and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” And Abraham “believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” (Genesis 15:5-6.) All these things are part of the Abrahamic covenant.Share
