ABRAHAM'S
SALVATION DEFINED
TABLE
OF CONTENTS
I)
THE ORIGIN OF ABRAHAM'S SALVATION BEGAN WITH ADAM AND EVE AND GOD'S PLAN
OF SALVATION FOR ALL MANKIND
A)
[GEN 3:14-15]:
*** EXCERPT FROM
GENESIS CHAPTER 3 ***
[Gen
3:14 NKJV]:
FOR
DECEIVING EVE AND CAUSING HER AND ADAM TO SIN, THE LORD GOD CURSED THE
SERPENT WHO WAS POSSESSED BY SATAN, GOD'S ADVERSARY, MORE THAN ANY OTHER
CREATURE, RELEGATING SERPENTS NOW TO CRAWL ON THEIR BELLIES, EATING DUST
AS A SIGN OF JUDGMENT UPON SATAN'S REBELLION
[Compare
Gen 1:26 NIV]:
[Compare
Gen 1:25, 31 NIV]:
[Compare
Ez 28:1-19]:
[Compare
Isa 14:12-15]:
[Compare
Job 1:6 NIV]:
[Gen
3:15]:
TWO
SPIRITUAL (NOT BIOLOGICAL) SEEDS ARE IN VIEW:
1)
THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO FOLLOW SATAN IN SPIRITUAL REBELLION ARE DECLARED
SEED OF SATAN - ANGELS AND HUMANS ALIKE. THEY ARE FURTHER DECLARED BY
GOD TO BE AT ENMITY WITH THE WOMAN, EVE, AND HER SEED:
2)
A SEED, WHICH BIOLOGICALLY COMES FROM THE MALE, IN ORDER TO BE THE SEED
OF THE WOMAN, HAD TO BE PRODUCED INTO A FEMALE PHYSICAL DESCENDANT OF
THE WOMAN SUPERNATURALLY AND SPIRITUALLY BY GOD TO RESULT IN AN
INDIVIDUAL MALE DESCENDANT TO REPRESENT THE HUMAN RACE - A
MESSIAH-SAVIOR - IN THE BATTLE WITH SATAN AND HIS SEED TO PROVIDE
ETERNAL RECONCILIATION FOR HUMANITY WITH GOD AND REGAIN SOVEREIGNTY OF
THE HUMAN RACE OVER THE WORLD
THE
SEED OF THE WOMAN PORTRAYS AN INDIVIDUAL OF SUPERNATURAL BIRTH VIA A
SPIRITUALLY PROVIDED SEED WHO WILL REPRESENT ALL OF HUMANITY IN BATTLE
WITH SATAN AND HIS SEED TO REGAIN THE LOST SOVEREIGNTY OF THE HUMAN RACE
OVER THE WORLD AND PROVIDE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERY INDIVIDUAL HUMAN
BEING TO BE ETERNALLY RECONCILED WITH GOD RELATIVE TO SIN. THIS
MESSIAH-SAVIOR WILL BRUISE SATAN'S HEAD = DELIVER A MORTAL BLOW TO
DESTROY HIM, AND SATAN WILL BRUISE HIS HEEL - A NON-MORTAL BLOW

EXCERPT FROM GEN 3 ******
B)
GOD PROVIDED ANIMAL SKINS TO REPLACE THE INEFFECTIVE FIG LEAVES WHICH
ADAM AND EVE CHOSE TO WEAR IN ORDER TO COVER UP THEIR NAKEDNESS -
EVIDENCE OF THEIR FALLEN / SINFUL NATURES
THE ANIMAL SKINS -
EVIDENTLY A RESULT OF ANIMAL SACRIFICE - WERE A SIGN TO ADAM AND EVE OF
GOD'S COVERING / FORGIVENESS OF THEIR SIN GIVEN TO THEM WITHOUT THEIR
HAVING TO PAY FOR IT, I.E., GIVEN BY GOD'S GRACE; NEITHER WIELDING HIS
TEMPORAL NOR HIS ETERNAL WRATH UPON THEM DESPITE THEIR SIN.
THIS WAS DONE BY GOD IN
ANTICIPATION OF A FUTURE, SUBSTITUTIONARY AND ACTUAL ATONING SACRIFICE BY
THE SEED OF THE WOMAN - A DESCENDANT OF EVE, FOR THEIR SIN AND ALL THE
SINS OF ALL MANKIND IN ORDER TO MAKE PROVISION FOR AND JUSTIFY GOD'S
COVERING / FORGIVENESS OF TEMPORAL SINS BY GOD'S GRACE TO THOSE WHO
TRUSTED IN HIM VIA THE PROPER EXECUTION OF THOSE ANIMAL SACRIFICES WHICH
INCLUDED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ONES SINFUL NATURE TO GOD - PROVISION BOTH
IN THE TEMPORAL LIFE AND FOR ETERNAL LIFE FOR THOSE WHO TRUSTED IN THE
LORD FOR THAT, AS ADAM AND EVE EVIDENTLY HAD DONE
1)
[Gen 3:21]:
C)
THE SACRIFICE OF AN ANIMAL WITHOUT BLEMISH WAS TO BE MADE AS A BURNT
OFFERING BY AN INDIVIDUAL ACCOMPANIED BY AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF HIS SINFUL
NATURE SO AS TO RECEIVE GOD'S BLESSING AND NOT BE UNDER HIS TEMPORAL
WRATH. IMPLIED IS GOD'S COVERING / FORGIVENESS OF THAT INDIVIDUAL'S SIN
BY GOD'S GRACE IN ANTICIPATION OF A FUTURE, SUBSTITUTIONARY AND ACTUAL
ATONING SACRIFICE BY THE SEED OF THE WOMAN, A DESCENDANT OF EVE, FOR THE
SINS OF THE WORLD IN ORDER TO MAKE PROVISION FOR AND JUSTIFY GOD'S
COVERING / FORGIVENESS OF TEMPORAL SINS BY GOD'S GRACE TO THOSE WHO
TRUSTED IN HIM VIA THE PROPER EXECUTION OF THOSE ANIMAL SACRIFICES WHICH
INCLUDED AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF ONES SINFUL NATURE TO GOD - PROVISION
BOTH IN THE TEMPORAL LIFE AND FOR ETERNAL LIFE FOR THOSE WHO TRUSTED IN
THE LORD FOR THAT AS ADAM AND EVE EVIDENTLY HAD DONE

[Compare Lev 1:1-17]:
II)
THE LORD PROMISED TO BRING ABRAM TO THE PROMISED LAND AND THERE MAKE HIM
A GREAT NATION - A PROMISE OF RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD UNTO ETERNAL
LIFE IN ORDER TO BE THAT GREAT NATION - A PROMISE TO BE ENABLED THROUGH
ABRAHAM'S SEED - HIS DESCENDANT

[Gen 11:27-12:3]:

11:27-12:1]:
(Gen
11:27-12:1) THE LORD GOD REPEATEDLY APPEARED AND SPOKE TO ABRAM FROM THE
TIME HE WAS IN UR THROUGH WHEN HE WAS IN HARAN. HE GRACIOUSLY KEPT ON
SAYING TO ABRAM TO GO FROM UR, HIS RELATIVES AND HIS FATHER'S HOUSEHOLD
TO A LAND THE LORD WILL SHOW HIM IMPLYING PROSPERITY AND OWNERSHIP OF
THAT LAND

TO MAKE ABRAM A GREAT NATION IN THE PROMISED LAND WHICH IMPLIES MANY
DESCENDANTS AND RULERSHIP FOREVER VIA A MESSIAH-SAVIOR, THE SEED OF
ABRAM;
(2)
TO BLESS ABRAM IN THE PROMISED LAND WHICH IMPLIES TEMPORAL AND SPIRITUAL
PROSPERITY AND LONGEVITY UNTO ETERNAL LIFE;
(3)
TO MAKE ABRAM'S NAME GREAT IN THE PROMISED LAND, WHICH IMPLIES ENABLING
ABRAM TO BE FAITHFUL IN DOING GREAT AND GODLY THINGS AS PART OF GOD'S
PLAN FOR MAN'S ETERNAL RECONCILIATION WITH HIM AND RESTORATION OF
MANKIND'S SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE EARTH THROUGH A DESCENDANT OF ABRAM
(4)
WHEREBY THE LORD DECLARED THAT IN ABRAM ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH -
OF ALL TIME - WOULD BE BLESSED IMPLYING THE TEMPORAL AND THE ETERNAL AS
PART OF GOD'S PLAN FOR MAN'S ETERNAL RECONCILIATION WITH HIM AND
RESTORATION OF MANKIND'S SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE EARTH THROUGH A DESCENDANT
OF ABRAM
[Compare
Gen 12:3]:
[Gen
12:3]:
GOD
PROMISES TO BLESS THOSE THAT BLESS ABRAM, CURSE THOSE THAT CURSE HIM AND
IN ABRAM ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE WORLD WILL BE BLESSED. THE LORD'S
PROMISE OF A SEED OF THE WOMAN EVE - A MESSIAH-SAVIOR REPRESENTING ALL
OF HUMANITY TO DEFEAT SATAN AND HIS SEED RESULTING IN THE AVAILABILITY
OF ETERNAL RECONCILIATION OF MAN WITH GOD AND THE RESTORATION OF THE
SOVEREIGNTY OF HUMANITY OVER THE EARTH WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY THE LORD
THROUGH ABRAM BECOMING A GREAT NATION AND A GREAT NAME AND IN ABRAM WILL
ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE WORLD BE SO BLESSED

FROM GENESIS CHAPTER 12 ******
**** COMPARE WITH
EXCERPT FROM GENESIS CHAPTER 13 ****
[Gen
13:14-16]:
ABRAM
SEPARATED FROM LOT FULFILLING THE LORD'S COMMAND TO SEPARATE HIMSELF
FROM HIS RELATIVES. THE LORD THEN REITERATED HIS PROMISE TO ABRAM AND
HIS SEED, AN INDIVIDUAL PHYSICAL DESCENDANT, TO POSSESS THE PROMISED
LAND FOREVER IMPLYING JUSTIFICATION UNTO ETERNAL LIFE THROUGH THIS
INDIVIDUAL 'SEED'. THEN HE COMMANDED ABRAM TO WALK AND VIEW THE LAND HE
WILL POSSESS. ABRAM THEN BUILT ANOTHER ALTAR TO THE LORD IN HEBRON BY
THE GREAT TREES OF MAMRE

[Compare Gen 15:1-6]:
1)
By The Grace Of The LORD, Abram had:
Won The
Battle Against Chedalaomer And His Allies,
Rescued His
Nephew Lot From Captivity,
Received
The Blessing And Revelation Of King / Priest Melchizadek, An Incarnate
Appearance Of The LORD,
Given A
Tenth Of All He Had To Melchizadek And
Taken An
Oath To The LORD To Refuse Any Spoils Of War From The King Of Sodom;
Whereupon
The Word Of The LORD Came To Abram In A Vision Saying, 'Do Not fear,
Abram, I Am A Shield To You Making Very Great Your Reward
2)
In Spite Of The LORD's Persistent Assurance, Supernatural Enablement And
Protection, Abram Continued To Lack faith In The Promises Of The LORD
3)
The LORD Told Abram That Eliezer Would Not Become Abram's Heir, That A
Physical Descendant Would Be The Heir That The LORD Promised Abram. And
The LORD Told Abram That Just As The Night Sky Had Countless Number Of
Stars So Would Be Abram's Physical Descendants. This Implied That Abram
Would Have An Everlasting Life With The Lord, Implying That Abram Would
Have Accounted To Himself The Righteousness Of God In Order To Be Given
The Gift Of Eternal Life - And This The LORD Promised Would Come Through
Abram's Seed (Singular)
4)
Abram Began Believing, In The Time Frame Of Genesis 15:4-6, in God
Promise Of Innumerable Descendants Through Abram's Seed Supernaturally
Provided By God And Relative To The LORD's Promise Of Inheriting The
Land At Which Time God Accounted It To Abram For Righteousness Unto
Eternal Life And Confirmed His Entire Covenant With Abram Unilaterally
