" And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered."
The upper limit of God's exceeding reward was the great river Euphrates to whch are four angels bound, " Loose the four angels which are bound in the great river Euphrates./And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men."(Rev.9.14-15). God counts from his throne to his footstool. (Isa.66.1) The earth and lower parts included form the other boundary. So God tells him, "Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee."(v.17) Unless the word is ready by the light what are you? "John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven."( Jn 3.27)
God separated light from darkness and by the same token God calls Abram out,"Now the Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:/And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:"(12.1-3). Abram refused to accept even a shoe latchet from the king of Sodom and it obeyed the word which is eternal. "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you./And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."(2 Cor.6.17-18)
Abraham is therefore set as blessed which cannot be said for all 'thy seed'. Why did an horror of 'great' darkness fell over Abram? The curse . Whence did this two- state problem arise for the Jews. Land is like a bride, is it not? "Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein." Then as now.(Deut.28.30)
