The only Promises to Abraham that were fulfilled in Christ . . . that I can recall off the top of my head . . . are: 1. That the Messiah would come through him. 2. That the gentiles would also be blessed through him. Am I forgetting one?

The promise to Abraham was that his heir was to inherit the entire world.

This was fulfilled.

The promise to Abraham was that his heir was to inherit the entire world.

Rom 4:13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

This was fulfilled.

NO, in most of the terms we'd consider as evidence of fulfillment in our sphere of existence--no. NOT YET!

YES, Christ took legal title deed again at The Cross/Cresurrection/going to The Father after seeing the gals at the tomb.

But taking overt possession as in overtly ruling and reigning over all conquered forces; having locked satan and his forces up; etc. in THIS SPHERE OF EXISTENCE--HAS NOT YET HAPPENED. But is clearly afoot as the Bible prophecies related to such are being fulfilled at a faster and faster clip.
