Promised Land to Abraham and descendants
Question: Is it true that Abraham got a Promised Land?
The Promised Land of Scripture refers to the promises made by Almighty God to Abraham, and his descendants. After the birth of Ishmael, which he fathered with Hagar, Sarah’s servant, his name was changed by God from Abram to Abraham, which means “father of a multitude”. Although Ishmael was his first born, he was not first in blessing and inheritance, because he was conceived and born other than through the Will of God, as is embodied in the Promise of God to Abram in Gen. 15:4, and to Sarah in Gen. 17:16 and 19. In v.19, God makes clear to Abraham, that His Covenant will be established with and through his yet future son Isaac, which is the Covenant of fatherhood, Nationhood and the Land which will be theirs in the future.
