The Birthright Promise of Multitudes in Scripture

Abraham's birthright promise of MULTITUDES is hardly hidden from plain sight. יהוה, in His set-apart scriptures, unconditionally and repetitively promised a multitude of descendants to Abraham and his sons. That birthright was passed down to Isaac, then to Jacob (Israel), then to Joseph, and finally to Ephraim.

"Since there can be no mistaking the purport of these covenant promises regarding a natural and multitudinous posterity for these promise-inheritors, and inasmuch as these promises were promised and re-promised, by the Divine promise-maker to the successive promise-holders, then, when that promised multitude of people shall have materialized, it is they, and they only, who can be called "The Children of the Promise." And the only crucial test is that they be Abraham's seed who have descended from Isaac through Jacob." - J. H. Allen

"What is promised without condition, by Who under NO condition can lie, must be so or to be SO". That is my motto. Laughing
