INTRODUCTION
As a new believer I discovered the parallels between the life of any believer and the lives of every believer.
The parallels between the life of the church and the life of every believer.
God’s plan all can be seen in any.
Abram enters world history approximately 400 years after the death of Noah.
Abram, later to be renamed to Abraham, was from the land of Ur.
The name Abram meant “exalted thinker, high or honored father.
Ur (ur) = Light; fire; furnace; (root = to make light; to kindle).
Smith, S., & Cornwall, J. (1998).
In The exhaustive dictionary of Bible names (p.
242).
North Brunswick, NJ: Bridge-Logos.
Chaldees (kal’-dees) = Same as Chaldean = Astrologer.
Wanderers.
Abram was pagan worshipper of the Moon god whose name was “Sin”.
God takes wanderers and plants them that they may become fruitful.
Sin (sin) = Clay; thorn; mire; (root = to be muddy or clayey).
So, to summarize, God reached into the clay, of sin, and kindled a flame that would one day light the world.
We meet, father of Abram in Genesis 11:26.
You may breathe, slowly born, to delay, wild goat; turning, wandering.
Again we see the theme: God takes wanderers and plants them that they may become fruitful.
My three sons;
Abram - High father.
Nahor - Snorting, inflamed, heated (hot head)
Haran - Mountaineer; very high; enlightened; strong.
Sarai’s name means “Contentious, princess”.
We see that to this point she had not been able to have children.
What happened to Nahor?
The Bible isn’t clear whether Haran was named before or after Terah’s arrival, but either way, Terah chose to camp out at the memory of loss, at the expense of the living in the present.
Terah’s desire is to go to Caanan, but he never get’s past Haran.
Caanan means; merchant, trader, servant.
Terah had the potential to lead a life of accomplishment, purpose, and service, we see no evidence that he ever did so.
Then in chapter 12 we the call given
To a place, what place?
A place I am yet to show you.
(Lamp unto my feet, light unto my path, not my destination.)
In vs.s 4-5 we see the call accepted...
The call wasn’t accepted until he acted on what he had received by faith.
God waited until Abram was 75 years old to give him his calling… there is a wisdom that comes from age and experience.
The fruit of a few successes and many failures from which one has learned life skills.
It’s not all rags to riches in the Kingdom...
Picking back up with the story… When they arrived in Canaan...
Shechem - Neck, diligence.
Moreh - A hill, Teacher, a picture of moving higher to a place of learning.
Bethel - House of God
Ai - A heap of ruins; (root = to bend; to twist; to distort; to act perversely; to subvert; sin; to contort with pain as in a woman giving birth).
The altar of worship is established...
Negev - the parched place, the place of hunger.
