”Why Israel Matters” Part One- The Covenants of Promise

In this first installment of the series "Why Israel Matters", we look at the eight covenants of the Bible.  In particular, we look at the Abrahamic Covenant.  In that covenant, the LORD promised Abraham several things: a great nation (Israel), blessings (material/spiritual), a great name, the obligation to be a blessing, that He would bless those that bless Israel, He would curse those that curse Israel, and that all of the families of the earth would receive a blessing.  The last promise sees its fulfilment in the Messiah (Gal 3:8). With that being said, it doesn't negate the other aspects of the Abrahamic covenant.  And as we shall see that covenant was unilateral, unconditional, and eternal!
