The Covenant With Abraham Will Bless All Nations (Genesis 22:18)

5 min readMar 14, 2022

“And by means of your offspring all nations of the earth will obtain a blessing for themselves because you have listened to my voice” (Genesis 22:18)

The Abrahamic covenant is a promise that all humanity obedient to God, will be blessed through the offspring of Abraham. He had a son, Isaac, with his wife Sarah (for a very long time barren) (Genesis 17:19). Abraham, Sarah and Isaac are the main characters in a prophetic drama that represents, at the same time, the meaning of the sacred secret, and the way by which God will save the obedient humanity (Genesis 3:15).

- Jehovah God is the Great Abraham: “For you are our Father; although Abraham may not know us And Israel may not recognize us, You, O Jehovah, are our Father. Our Repurchaser of long ago is your name” (Isaiah 63:16, Luke 16:22).

(Jehovah is the name of God)

(We must worship Jehovah exclusively (Matthew 22: 37,38))

- The Heavenly Woman is the Great Sarah, for a long time, barren and childless woman (Regarding Genesis 3:15): “For it is written: “Be glad, you barren woman who does not give birth; break into joyful shouting, you woman who does not have birth pains; for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than those of her who has the husband.” Now you, brothers, are children of the promise the same as Isaac was. But just as then the one born through natural descent began persecuting the one born through spirit, so also now. Nevertheless, what does the scripture say? “Drive out the servant girl and her son, for the son of the servant girl will by no means be an heir with the son of the free woman.” So, brothers, we are children, not of a servant girl, but of the free woman” (Galatians 4: 27–31).

- Jesus Christ is the Great Isaac: “Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “and to your descendants,” in the sense of many. Rather, it says, “and to your offspring,” in the sense of one, who is Christ” (Galatians 3:16).

(The sacrifice of Christ allows the salvation of an obedient humanity to God (John 3:16,36))

- The Heel Injury of the Heavenly Woman: Jehovah God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham did not refuse (because he thought God would resurrect Isaac afterwards this sacrifice (Hebrews 11:17–19)). Just before the sacrifice, God prevented Abraham to do it. Isaac has been substituted by a ram sacrificed by Abraham: “Now after this the true God put Abraham to the test, and he said to him: “Abraham!” to which he replied: “Here I am!” 2 Then he said: “Take, please, your son, your only son whom you so love, Isaac, and travel to the land of Moriah and offer him up there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I will designate to you. (…) Finally they reached the place that the true God had indicated to him, and Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac hand and foot and put him on the altar on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But Jehovah’s angel called to him from the heavens and said: “Abraham, Abraham!” to which he answered: “Here I am!” Then he said: “Do not harm the boy, and do not do anything at all to him, for now I do know that you are God-fearing because you have not withheld your son, your only one, from me.” At that Abraham looked up, and there just beyond him was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering in place of his son. And Abraham named that place Jehovah-jireh. This is why it is still said today: “In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided””(Genesis 22: 1–14).

Yes, Jehovah would provide, this time: His Own Beloved Son (Please read again “Take, please, your son, your only son whom you so love). This prophetic representation is the fulfillment of the very painful sacrifice for Jehovah God (and for his Son Jesus Christ), the Great Abraham, who sacrificed His Beloved Son Jesus Christ, the Great Isaac for the salvation of the obedient mankind: “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only-begotten Son, so that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life. (…) The one who exercises faith in the Son has everlasting life; the one who disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him” (John 3: 16,36).

The last fulfillment of the promise of God made to Abraham, will occur by the everlasting blessing of the obedient humanity at the end of Christ’s millennial reign: “With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away” (Revelation 21: 3,4).
