Genesis 12: And I will make a great nation from you, and will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. “I will also bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and in you shall all families of the Earth be blessed.”

***Genesis 12: And I will make a great nation from you, and will bless you, and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing. “I will also bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; and in you shall all families of the Earth be blessed.”**

Matthew 10. New International Version

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.

15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

The Lord makes three covenants with Abraham, promising that his descendants would become:

A great nation (Gen. 15), fulfilled in the founding of Old Covenant Israel by Moses and grounded in the twelve tribes of Jacob-Israel (Exod. 24)

A great kingdom (Gen. 17), initially fulfilled in David and his royal descendants who reign over the kingdom of Israel (1 Samuel 16)

Universal blessing fulfilled in Christ. The Catholic Church - The ‘New’ Israel, one meant to impact all nations.. (Gen. 22:18),
