Part One of Two
Two Dry Stumps
The LORD lists, in the generations of Noah’s sons, a significant fact, with a powerful lesson for every Christian on Earth today, Gen. 11:29-30 KJV;
And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
Sing Thou That Didst Not Bear
God was working on His plan to use their infertile marriage to establish numerous earthly tribes and kingdoms, and one eternal spiritual Kingdom; as He prophesied through Isaiah 54:1 KJV;
Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
The Promised Children
More, He says more, and Christians have experienced what He was prophesying about, for as the Holy Ghost declares under the New Covenant, we are those very children of Promise, Gal. 4:26-28 KJV;
But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
Abram and Sarai faithfully followed The LORD Almighty all their adult lives.
