Across the many early centuries following the time of Abraham, God’s promise was fulfilled by physical multiplication through Abraham’s descendants.

However, in Jehovah’s sovereign timing when the Messiah miraculously arrived, heaven’s promises were wonderfully fulfilled! (See Isaiah 7:14, 53:1-12, 56:8, 49:6, 60:1-3) Soon after that, Abraham’s seed also began blessing the Gentile nations - even though they were not originally God’s people!

Thoughtfully, consider and then rejoice over God’s words written through His Hebrew prophet Hosea, “I will say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people!’ and they shall say, ‘You are my God!’” (Hosea 2:23)

Now, slowly reread this highly understandable prophecy. Devout believing Gentiles were prophetically expected to become just like the devout believing Hebrews in the eyes of God. The finished work of salvation accomplished through heaven’s spotless Lamb, (see 1 Peter 1:18-19), was genetically from the seed of Abraham. God’s own perfect self-sacrifice ushered in a new global era designed to bless all repentant and believing sinners everywhere.
