GOD`S SPECIAL NATION

God said to Israel `You shall be a special treasure to me above all people.` (Ez. 19: 5)

 

Q. Why did God make another Nation?

God in His foresight knew that mankind would continually go their own way. So God had planned to establish His own special nation that would not only learn His ways, but would teach & rule over the other nations of the world.

 

God chose Abraham to be the father of this special nation. He promised him a son, even in his old age. This promised son was Isaac, a miracle of God. he came from a godly line of Seth, & then through Noah`s son Shem. This line had a special relationship with God.

Noah said - `blessed be the Lord, the God of Shem...` (Gen. 9: 26)

 

God also told Abraham that through him all the families of the earth (eventually) would be blessed, & that every nation would be accountable to God as to how they treated God`s special nation.

`The Lord said to Abram, “...I will make you a great nation,....I will bless those who bless you, & the one who curses you I will curse.`  (Gen. 12: 1 – 3)

 

As Abraham & his descendants began to grow in numbers, they came in contact with various other nations, - Assyria in the north & Egypt to the South.

A study of Israel`s history shows that those nations, tribes, that cared for God`s Special Nation of Israel, were blessed while others such as Egypt were judged. (Gen. 26: 1 & 26 – 29  &  Ex. 12: 29 – 31)
