The
Heritage
of
Israel.
Part Seventeen.
The Covenants & The Promises. Part 12.
The Abrahamic Covenant. Part Nine.
To conclude this coverage
of the Abrahamic Covenants, we will look at the final portion of Genesis
12:2-3;
“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:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
This, as we see, is associated with special blessing, not only to
Abraham and his descendants, but to the rest of the world. But this
promise is contained within, and dependant on, the fulfilment of the promise
of greatness as a nation. This greatness, as we have seen, did not
eventuate as a result of military invasion and conquest, as was the case
with so many other nations who achieved greatness, but by the Divine Will
of the Lord God of Israel, who in His foreknowledge had made this greatness
a vital part of His plan for His chosen people Israel. Whilst there
was always a military presence involved, and sometimes used in order to
maintain their presence, settlement of the present lands did not occur
through military type invasion. For instance, we in Australia were
settled primarily by convicts sent from England. Certainly there
were conflicts with the Aboriginal people who were here at the time, but
they were certainly not conquered and taken over by military invasion as
the present “activists’ would have the world believe. When the white
Anglo-Saxon people came, the indigenous people, who claim to have been
here for some 40,000 years, hadn’t even seen a wheel, let alone developed
any form of civilisation. Housing, as we know it, was non-existent.
The population consisted of numerous bands of largely independent wandering
tribes who knew nothing of any form of national social structure outside
those of their various tribal customs. When viewed against their
present position, which provides them with housing and social and health
and education benefits of a standard and extent their forefathers never
dreamed of, the blessings brought to them by our Israelite forefathers
who came to this country are quite remarkable. And without our presence,
they would probably never have even heard the Gospel of our Lord Jesus
Christ.
The same principle applied to most other lands where the white Anglo-Saxon
Israelite people have settled. Some, like the North American continent,
were settled by men and women seeking freedom of worship, and from Babylonian
domination over their lives. Others were settled for reasons of trade,
but in every instance, one of the most inevitable results was the introduction
of the blessing of the Christian Gospel, and the health, education, and
law which accompanied it. There is no doubt that in many instances
there were woeful abuses of power and authority by unscrupulous individuals
and organisations made against the original occupants of the countries
in which we settled. But this is no excuse whatsoever for the abuse
we now receive at the hands of some sections of the indigenous people in
all our present day Israel nations, led by self-serving and power-hungry
activists who, in the main, have very minute, if any, descendency from
the people they claim to represent. In some countries, particularly
South Africa and Zimbabwe, the blessings of Christian society which the
white people introduced are now being totally destroyed by the very people
who for many years were the recipients of these blessings. In every
country where the Law of God has been lost to the people because we have
been removed by pressure from God’s enemies, that nation or country has
descended back into the barbarism from which it had once been saved.
The so-called “terrible colonial” powers established peace and security
in so many of these lands, despite many abuses, which is now but a very
faded memory to their present occupants.
But of course, it doesn’t end there. God’s promise to Abraham
as to the blessing his seed would be to future generations is as certain
of fulfilment as every other promise He ever made. The promise is
first made in Geneses 12:3,
“and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
This is repeated as a second witness in Genesis 18:17-19;
“ And the LORD said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;
Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?
For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.”
The Israelites were part of the Adamic race descendant from the
Adam of Genesis chapter two, who was referred to in Luke 3:38 as “the
(or a ) son of God”. Whilst in this present age there are those
who are being called to be individual “sons of God”, it is quite clear
from the Scriptures that the entire nation of Israel is destined to become
“The Sons of God”, ruling with our Lord Jesus Christ over the entire world
and beyond. It is these of whom Paul spoke in Romans 8:19;
“For the earnest expectation of the creature (creation) waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God”.The result of this revealing will be as Paul stated in Romans 11:15;
“For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, (kosmos = world order) what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?”
And the evidence of this promise of world-wide blessing will be
fully realised in the terms of Micah 4:1-2;
“But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken it.”
God did not make these promises to our father Abraham as some restricted
and personal reward to him for his own particular faithfulness and obedience.
They were made as a part of God’s overall plan of restoration for the entire
world, as a result of which the Edenic perfection which once obtained before
sin entered through the disobedience of our parents Adam and Eve, would
again be established throughout the world. The Great Lord God of
Israel would again be not only known, but would be glorified through those
who were initially called to be His witnesses to this glorious fact.
The prophet Isaiah tells us;
“But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.
Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.” (Isa.41:8-9).
“I the LORD have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;
To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.” (Isa.42:6-7).
“But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.” (Isa. 43:1).
“I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.” (Isa. 43:12).
“This people have I formed for myself; they shall show forth my praise.” (Isa. 43:21).
None of the above would ever have been, nor ever could be fulfilled,
if God had not fully honoured His covenant and promise to our forefather
Abraham.
The Israel Nation and Company of Nations, together with the Great People,
forming the two major portions of the tribes of Israel, as being the descendants
of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh, and clearly identified as the British
Commonwealth of Nations and The United States of America, (despite their
present position as the strongholds of anti-Christ), are the pivotal nations
of history. We have been formed, developed, trained, punished,
and protected for a purpose. We have risen to the heights of human
glory, and have been brought to the lowest points of human degradation.
But the best is yet to come, when our King and Redeemer returns to take
the throne of His father David, and reign over us with Justice and Righteousness
for evermore.
But there is one other aspect of this promise of blessing which we
should not overlook. How many times have we heard the sickening claim
of false Israel to the blessing made to Abraham;
“And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee.”
The world has, for centuries, been blackmailed by the repetition
of this claim by the Jews in order to convince everyone that to bless them
would bring blessing from God, and that to curse, or oppose, them, would
bring equal cursing from God. Those who have really studied the previous
three chapters in this series will recognise the perfidy of this claim.
These false claimants to the Abrahamic covenants have drained the wealth
of the true Israel nations, and indeed the rest of the world, by this paranoid
obsession. And with the help of virtually every Christian church
and organisation you can name, have succeeded beyond even their own diabolical
expectations in deceiving even the very elect.
Just think about it for a moment. If we of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic
people are in fact, as we claim, the true descendants of the people of
Israel, and the literal descendants of Abraham, then how come that the
claim of non-Abrahamic people to the terms and promises of the Abrahamic
covenants are so readily accepted and honoured?
One of the major reasons for this situation is that our Israel heritage
has been deliberately hidden from us by the efforts of the very enemy from
whom we are supposed to separate ourselves. Just recently I spoke
to a friend of mine who is a newspaper editor. Some time back he
was in Scotland, he told me, and decided to check on something in the main
library in Glasgow. He found there so much information supporting
our Israelite descent, that he became a dedicated believer. He told
me that he wished he could have brought home a whole armful of the books
and information they had there. So why haven’t our people been told
about this? This knowledge would have entirely changed our
national life, to say nothing of the blessings it would have brought to
hundreds of thousands of our people throughout the Israel nations scattered
throughout the world. Yet we are virtually told that to belong to
God’s chosen race of people is “racist”. Well it’s not if it’s applied
to the Jews, so why the different standard? One would think
that it is an insult of the gravest consequence to be so closely allied
to Almighty God. Long before the establishment and separate development
of the various branches of the Israel people throughout the world, the
following Coat of Arms was adopted by the British nation. Take a
good look at it.
The motto across the bottom reads,
“DIEU ET MON DROIT”
It means;
“God and my Right”,
being a direct reference to the Birthright which belongs specifically and solely, to God’s Israel people.
Around the shield, on “the buckler” is written,
“HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE”
This is translated loosely as;
“Evil be to him that thinks evil”
a clear reference to God’s promise to Abraham that he would “curse them that cursed him or his descendants.”
Now I don’t know about you, but that gives me a whole lot of hope and
confidence. In these days of evil and persecution upon all those
who really love and sincerely follow our Lord Jesus Christ, and who especially
know our God-given identity and destiny, this must be the best news we
could ever have.
And all this because of the faithfulness of just two people.
Firstly, Abraham, of whom it was said;
“Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted to him for righteousness”.
But secondly, and by far most importantly, the Lord God of Abraham,
our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it was recorded in Hebrews 6:13-15;
“For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware by himself,
Saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise.”
Now let me assure you that when God swears something upon His own
Name, it is not something to be taken lightly and trifled with. God
takes no delight in fools. He not only really means what He has said, but
He fully expects that we exercise the same faith as Abraham, and
believe Him with just as much fervour and obedience. The rewards
of simply believing God are beyond our imagination.
