And theLordsaid unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward:/For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."
It is similar to what God commands Moses before building a tabernacle in the wilderness."According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it."( Exod. 25.9) When God is showing, you may be certain that it is where He is at rest. In the case of Moses he was to build accordingly along their way, so they would walk with God rather. His Son as a spiritual rock moved so did God dwell among them so to speak. Can two walk together unless agreed upon? ( Amos 3.3) The Covenant between the Father Son relationship followed the pattern,'even so shall ye make it' set symbolism of instruments delineate the Son.
Notice the context in which God promises 'all the land which thou seest' is from where he stood. His faith let his nephew make his choice, trusting that the Lord was his portion. He says, "And look from the place where thou art' and God does not thrust second choices on anyone who in His eyes is double for his Son. All along it was heavenly Zion and it shall never change. His promise is to his seed 'forever' Faith was the DNA on which the Covenant worked and his seed shall all have this quality. The expression 'forever' referred to the Son.
