Genesis 12 begins God’s call and promises to Abram. God’s call to Abram is to separate from the other peoples on the earth and follow Him. God’s first promise to Abram is that He will make Abram into a great nation that will become a blessing; to those that bless Abram and his offspring, God will bless, to those who dishonour them, God will curse. Jesus Christ is the ultimate fulfillment of this promise to Abram. Through Abraham’s descendants, the Jewish people, came Jesus the Messiah who is the ultimate blessing to all of mankind. This is something that we can miss, if we aren’t paying attention to the bigger picture as we read through Genesis. God is setting up and enacting the early parts of His salvation plan. Genesis 13 sees Abram
moving to Canaan, a place where God will establish His physical promise so that in time, He would arrive there as mankind’s Saviour. With all this spiritual significance attached to the land of Israel, is it any wonder that we continue to see fighting over this small patch of land?
