Did the Lord fulfill the promise below? For your weekend assignment, identify the range of chapters in the Bible that shows the fulfillment of the promise below. Is a promise always sweet and glorious? My opinion is no by looking at what God said to Abram below. So Dont lose hope or stay depressed when trials and persecution comes since its all part of the promise that get you to the other side. Just like pregnancy (fruit of the womb) and child birth (being fruitful and multiplying) are promises, doesn’t it come with pain?
Genesis 15:13-16
13 Then the Lord said to him, “Know for certain that for four hundred years your descendants will be strangers in a country not their own and that they will be enslaved and mistreated there.
14 But I will punish the nation they serve as slaves, and afterward they will come out with great possessions.
15 You, however, will go to your ancestors in peace and be buried at a good old age.
16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.”
