After more than a thousand years ago, Israeli was officially formed, there was a tribe that made a living by grazing. Abram is the eldest son of the family and the future successor of this tribe.
Abram not only has herds of cattle and sheep, but also a beautiful wife, Sarai. The only flaw is that he is over 70 years old, but he has no children because his wife Sarai cannot have children.
Because he loves his wife deeply, he doesn’t have too many thoughts about his children. The father and younger brother often advised him to worship the moon god so that he could seek his son as soon as possible. But he refused them all.
Even so, he can't avoid feeling lonely from time to time.
In a blink of an eye, he reached his 99-year-old age, and his wife Sarai still had not given birth to a son or a half daughter for him.
Abraham sat lonely under the tree
On this day, he was sitting alone under a tree, and at this moment he seemed a little haggard.
Suddenly, a sound of calling his name came from my ears. Tell Abram to make a vow with him, that he will no longer be called Abram, but Abraham, who means the father of many nations, and that he will have many descendants.
And his wife will no longer be called Sarai, but will change her name to Sarah, meaning queen. She will also bless her, so that she can get a son, and tell him to name the son " Isaac ".
Abraham and God’s covenant
Hearing this, Abraham was so excited that he almost cried. He asked worriedly, can he have another son at this age? The voice continued, this is my assurance to you.
If his descendants can abide by this agreement, the land where they live now, Jialan will be able to live forever. Abraham raised his hands devoutly, which was exactly what he dreamed of.
The next day, three messengers came to his house. He thought they were passing guests, so he warmly received them. One of the messengers said, thank you, Abraham.
Abraham was stunned
Abraham was stunned when he heard the messenger's words. Later, when the messenger continued to ask about his wife Sarah, he immediately understood.
He told his wife to entertain the guests in front of him with the best ingredients. When Sarah heard the conversation between the messenger and her husband, he couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Yes, after waiting for so many years, I finally hope that they will have a son. This is so exciting! When she gave the messenger a refreshment, the messenger told her the news in person.
The three messengers told Sarah
and told them that they would come again in a year, when Isaac, the son of Abraham, would be born.
After saying that, the messengers bid farewell to Abraham, because they also have to decide the fate of a sinful city, Sotom. And Sotoma is where Abraham's nephew Rhodes live.
He thought of Rhodes and came to a clearing land. He asked the messenger worriedly, are you going to destroy that city? What if there are good people inside?
Abraham asked the messenger
The messenger replied that if there were 10 good people in the city, the city would be pardoned.
But when the three messengers came to this city, all the scenes of supreme, extravagance, and promiscuous sins came into view, and they continued to walk in the city.
At this moment, Rhodes saw them and found that they had no place to live, so he enthusiastically invited them to stay at his home. So they came to Rhode's house.
Three messengers were at Rhode's home
At this moment, a group of Sotoma's evil people came to find fault and said that there were three outsiders in your family. They must be spies, so Rhodes asked them to hand them over quickly.
Rod said they were his friends, but these evil people refused to give up and were about to take action. At this time, an envoy came out, and then the eyes of these wicked men suddenly disappeared.
Then, the three messengers took Rhodes and his family outside and asked them to run to the mountain quickly. Remember not to look back, because the city is about to be destroyed.
Just after Rhodes and the others left, the sky suddenly flashed and thundered, and the whole city was instantly in the sea of fire.In this way, the city of sin was quickly burned to ashes.
derogatory city turned into ruins
At a blink of an eye, Abraham was waiting anxiously outside the tent because his son Isaac was about to be born.
At this moment, a huge test awaits him and his wife Sarah. Sarah had a difficult childbirth because she was too old. Abraham was even more worried that he would lose Sarah because of this.
all fell and were nervous and worried. Suddenly, a baby cries came, and the prodigal son Isaac was born. Abraham came to the tent and saw that his wife and children were safe and sound, so he felt relieved.
The Proud Son of Day Isaac
Sarah saw Abraham, and the two looked at each other and smiled. They had been waiting for this moment for too long, from their black hair to their white hair. Now their wish has finally come true.
Abraham came outside excitedly with Isaac. All the people outside the tent were cheering and shouting Isaac, immersing in this happy moment.
Isaac soon grew up. He was smart, cute and well-behaved. Later, he successfully inherited the tribe and became the new leader of the tribe.
Isaac later had a pair of twin sons, Esau and Jacob . Jacob gave birth to twelve sons in his life, one of which was famous was Joseph .
