"he Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect." In an earlier instance we read God assuring him thus. " Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward."(15.1) Here we are looking at the Covenant as working in the nations. The blessing in his Son consequently is anchored on Abraham who is the friend of God. As a friend He confides of the judgment over Egypt,"And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance." What is the great substance promised to his seed? It cannot be in terms of worldly goods since the Israelites were slaves; besides Abraham would not even take a shoe latchet from the king of Sodom the nation God had set apart for destruction. What God allowed the former slaves were their back wages.
We have it mentioned " That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." (22,17-18) What better reward can anyone have than God who assures the patriarch,'I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward'?
This reward is becoming part of the glorious spiritual body of Christ. So faith is one and it is what obeying the voice would mean. It is thus the Law of the Spirit has twelve as a tag for the gospel: the compound number Twelve made up of 3x4=12 The Covenant in seven days blessings in heaven take uo the first four and on earth it three which makes up the compound number. Four is the command number for the word and Three is a tag for the Son.
These seven days as stipulated in the Covenant is Person specific. which is by the Law of the Spirit is ratified.
