    Annotated Gen.ch.12 "Nation"

    "And I will make of thee a great nation," What makes a nation? Let us put this in proper context." I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob." (Mt.22.32) God is the God of the living and Jesus declared the individual names of the three partiarchs that ihe nation called to occupy the land of the living is already in formation. It is what the generation of Jesus Christ indicates.. When Jesus delivered this doctrine that God is the God of the living the people were astonished at his doctrine.. What is his doctrine but that of his Father? Jn 7.16-18. The only way this Father Son can be understood is by doing the will of God.

    'The firmament sheweth his handiwork', this much oft quoted verse is called heaven and what are the works of God? In another place Jesus explained,"This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."

    There are only two nations either you belong to the light which is the life of men or of darkness. So when God promises inheritance, "Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates:"The river of Egypt is reserved for darkness while the great river, the river of Ephrates is the river of time that shall never break as with the word of God."Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.." In Daniel's vision this river takes the place of Ulai,as in this verse, the 'man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river' (Dan.12.6-7)

    The man clothed in linen is an angel, "my name is in him" and it is thus God made angels spirit, and thy shall lead ther heirs of promise to the land.

    In the caseof Moses there were two other signs signifying the two great lights. leading the Israelites,"For the cloud of the Lord was upon the tabernacle by day, and fire was on it by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys."(Exod.40.38)
