WHAT I LEARNED WHEN I READ THE BIBLE
We see the tenth Old Testament prophecy pointing to Jesus in Genesis 17:19, “Then God said, ‘Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.’” (emphasis mine). God is so clear about this He states it a second time, “But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” (Genesis 17:21 NIV). Sarah gives birth to Isaac, and one of Isaac’s son’s is Jacob. God changes Jacob’s name to Israel, and it is through the bloodline of Jacob (Israel) that Jesus is born. This is what God meant that His “everlasting” covenant was established through Sarah and Abraham.
