Era.

The Unbroken Force of the Abrahamic Blessings of Healing and Prosperity During
the New Testament Era, More Fully Demonstrated

In previous volumes, we demonstrated that the Abrahamic Covenant provided healing
and prosperity in addition to salvation for the Abrahamic Seed Group. We also
demonstrated that Christians compose the present day "membership roster" of the
Abrahamic Seed Group. Then, we demonstrated that the new (KAINOS) covenant is the
completion of the Abrahamic Covenant by Jesus on Golgotha. In this volume, we
demonstrate more fully, the healing and prosperity guaranteed to the Abrahamic Seed
Group, in both the Old and New Testament eras continues without interruption. We
accomplish this in three ways.

1. We demonstrate more fully from Scripture that the Abrahamic Seed Group is the same
group in both the Old and New Testaments and this group is still covered by God's
healing and prosperity covenant with Abraham.

2. We demonstrate from Scripture how Jewish Christians are incorporated into the
unbroken flow of healing and prosperity provided by the Abrahamic Covenant.

3. We demonstrate from Scripture how Gentile Christians are incorporated into the
unbroken flow of healing and prosperity provided by the Abrahamic Covenant.

The Abrahamic Covenant Provided the Foundation for Healing and Prosperity in
Addition to Salvation During the Old Testament Era

"God, the Father of the universe, who has exercised his boundless wisdom, power, and
goodness, in producing various beings of different capacities; who created the earth, and
appointed divers climates, soils, and situations in it; hath, from the beginning of the
world, introduced several schemes and dispensations for promoting the virtue and
happiness of his rational creatures, for curing their corruption, and preserving among
them the knowledge and worship of himself, the true God, the possessor of all being, and
the fountain of all good."
In pursuance of this grand and gracious design, when, about four hundred years after
the flood, the generality of mankind were fallen into idolatry, (a vice which in those times
made its first appearance in the world.) and served other gods, thereby renouncing
allegiance to the one God, the maker and governor of heaven and earth, He, to counteract
this new and prevailing corruption, was pleased, in his infinite wisdom, to select one
family of the earth to be a repository of true knowledge and the pattern of obedience and
reward among the nations; that, as mankind were propagated, and idolatry took its rise
and was dispersed from one part of the world into various countries, so also the
1
knowledge, worship, and obedience of the true God might be propagated and spread from
nearly the same quarter; or, however, from those parts which then were most famous and
distinguished. To this family he particularly revealed himself, visited them with several
public and remarkable dispensations of providence, and at last formed them into a nation
under his special protection, and governed them by laws delivered from himself, placing
them in the open view of the world, first in Egypt, and afterwards in the land of Canaan.
The head or root of this family was Abraham, the son of Terah, who lived in Ur of the
Chaldees, beyond Euphrates. His family was infected with the common contagion of
idolatry, as appears from Joshua 24:2, 3: "And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith
the Lord God of Israel, your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood (or river
Euphrates) in old time; even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and
they served other gods. And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood,
&c." And the Apostle Paul intimates as much, Romans 4:3-5: "For what saith the
Scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteous-ness. Now
to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that
worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for
righteousness." Abraham is the person he is discoursing about; and he plainly hints,
though he did not care to speak out, that even Abraham was chargeable with not paying
due reverence and worship to God; as the word...ungodly, properly imports.
But, though Abraham had been an idolater, God was pleased, in his infinite wisdom
and goodness, to single him out to be the head or root of that family or nation which he
intended to separate to himself from the rest of mankind for the forementioned purposes.
Accordingly he appeared to him in his native country, and ordered him to leave it and his
idolatrous kindred, and to remove into a distant land to which he would direct and
conduct him, declaring at the same time his covenant or grant of mercy to him, in these
words, Genesis 12:2, 3: "I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and
make thy name great, and thou shalt be a blessing. And I will bless them that bless thee,
and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed."
So certainly did God make himself known to Abraham, that he was satisfied this was a
revelation from the one true God, and that it was his duty to pay an implicit obedience to
it. Accordingly, upon the foot of this faith, he went out, though he did not know whither
he was to go. The same covenant, or promise of blessings, God afterwards at sundry
times repeated to him; particularly when it is said, Genesis 15:5: "And he (the Lord)
brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now towards heaven, and tell the stars, if thou
be able to number them: and he said unto him, so shall thy seed be." Here again he
believed in the Lord, and he counted it to him for righteousness. Also, in Genesis 17:1-8,
he repeats and establishes the same covenant, to be a God unto him and his seed after
him; promising him the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and appointing
circumcision as a perpetual token of the certainty and perpetuity of this covenant. Thus
Abraham was taken into God's covenant, and became entitled to the blessings it
conveyed; not because he was not chargeable before God with impiety, irreligion, and
idolatry; but because God, on his part, freely forgave his prior transgressions, and
because Abraham, on his part, believed in the power and goodness of God; without which
belief or persuasion that God was both true and able to perform what he had promised, he
could have paid no regard to the Divine manifestations; and consequently must have been
