" But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
In v.18 'in the same day' refers to the day decreed for the Son. (Ps.2.6-7) While we study subsequent narrative the Spirit uses several variations on this single word 'Day'. Unto this day for example. This day is Person specific. "For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever."(13.15)
" In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land,.." The everlasting Covenant is merely fit to Abraham whose faith is now aligned with that of his Son. So in the generation of Jesus Christ he is the son of Abraham. Similarly we have the story of Ruth, a Moabitess woman into the narrative so thy seed is not merely that Israel but also of the Gentiles. This explains the opening sentence in the Matthew gospel. Jesus Christ is the son David. " The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham."
Israel was in Egypt' and it was according to the word of God which has a Command number Four. This number is in direct frame of reference to Jesus Christ."When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt."( Hosea 11.1) This is the mother of days, so unto this day or 'in that day' a fountan opened' must be understood the context: "In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness."(Zec.13.1)
"Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates." Compare this with the Rev.16.12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared" God shall not surely promise a river that is going to be dried up in order for the great battle of the Lord?
