Abraham, Prophet and Priest

Abraham, Prophet and Priest

The LORD had come to visit Abraham and Sarah and to reassure them of the fulfillment of the promise, and that promise was a son. It seems quite likely that Sarah’s faith was improved, strengthened by the appearance of the LORD.

God Went Up…

And God Went Up…

“And he left off talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.” Genesis 17:22 (KJV)
