One day, As Abram was 99 years old the Lord appeared and told Abram he would make a covenant between them and he would increase their numbers. Hearing this Abram fell to his knees. The Lord then made this Covenant everlasting.
This is my Covenant with you. You will be a father of many nations. You will no longer be called Abram but Abraham, for I have made you a father of many nations. Kings will come from you. To the whole land of Canaan I will give everlasting possession to you and the descendants after you.
Thank you so much Lord.
As God continued speaking to Abram he mentioned changing both his name and his wives. He told Abram when his son would be coming.
For your names Abram, you will be Abraham, as I have made you a father of many nations. As for your wife, she will no longer be called Sarai, it will be Sarah. I will bless her and will surely give her a son. Your sons name will be Isaac. I will establish a covenant with him with an everlasting one to go to the descendants!
When they had finished speaking God went up from him.
As only if Ishmael might live under your blessing! And for Ishmael I will bless him and greatly increase him numbers. Sarah will bear Isaac to you this time next year!
But Lord, how will I a 99 year old man, bear and care for a child?
Although the Lord had told Issac pretty much everything he still wasn't sure how he a 99 year old man would have a child.
