"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:"
The Spirit is setting the pure speech between God and man so the spiritual purport of God a Spirit cannot be lost and the man shall not miss the command either since it is delivered in his Son. God commanded Noah with regards to the ark and the spirit informs us, "Thus did Noah; according to all that God commanded him, so did he."(6.22) Similarly when God blessed Noah and his sons before they stepped out of the ark it was as promised between God and Man in the Covenant. "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."(9.1) Consequently we read, "These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood."(10.22). Faith is the third space between Heaven and the earth, and it serves as a sign. So the just shall live refers to the divine promise and it is a land. The land of the living it is called. Every believer in his Son holds a volume to which this land is what the world of the Spirit offers. " I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."(Ps.27.13)
God is the God of the living as Jesus referred to the patriarchs, is now calling Abraham to walk with him even as Noah and Enoch before him did.
The life of Abraham can be broadly shown in three divisions. firstly he walked one full circle, 'Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee.".(13.17) This is in preparation to enter into the death of his son so God establishes the covenant. " a deep sleep fell upon Abram" as with the sleep of Adam refers to the death of his Son.(15.12) The last division is his life in faith. Circumcision is a pledge to indicate the glory of resurrection.
