A New Study For A New Year: Personalities

Genesis 18

18 And the Lord appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:

5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.

6 And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.

7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.

8 And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

9 And they said unto him, Where is Sarah thy wife? And he said, Behold, in the tent.

10 And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in the tent door, which was behind him.

11 Now Abraham and Sarah were old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after the manner of women.

12 Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?

13 And the Lord said unto Abraham, Wherefore did Sarah laugh, saying, Shall I of a surety bear a child, which am old?

14 Is any thing too hard for the Lord? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

15 Then Sarah denied, saying, I laughed not; for she was afraid. And he said, Nay; but thou didst laugh.

16 And the men rose up from thence, and looked toward Sodom: and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way.

17 And the Lord said, Shall I hide from Abraham that thing which I do;

18 Seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him.

20 And the Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;

21 I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.

22 And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the Lord.

23 And Abraham drew near, and said, Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

24 Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?

25 That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

26 And the Lord said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

27 And Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, which am but dust and ashes:

28 Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous: wilt thou destroy all the city for lack of five? And he said, If I find there forty and five, I will not destroy it.

29 And he spake unto him yet again, and said, Peradventure there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

30 And he said unto him, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there.

31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake.

32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

33 And the Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing with Abraham: and Abraham returned unto his place.

Oh LORD,

According To Your Will and Promise.
We Pray That You Will Forgive The Sins
of Our Own Nation,
and Lead us all to Godly Repentance.
Create in Us Clean Hearts, Oh LORD,
and Renew a Right Spirit Within Us.

And Make All Things Right.

Good Morning, Everybody. I hope you are safe and warm during this epic winter storm. The snow hasn't started yet in my area, but it's miserably COLD. Perhaps it will stay that way so that the snow will be light and fluffy and easier to shovel. Stay Warm and Be Safe!

There is so much to explore in Today's Chapter that we may be here for a while. Let's start with AbraHam, who is now in a Covenant Relationship with The Almighty. He has a New Name, which designates him as God's Appointee, and an alteration in his own physical body that sets him apart. However, it was neither of these "alterations" that had made Abraham righteous. God had already imputed Righteousness to him because of his Faith. That Faith manifested itself in ACTION: leaving Ur, Fighting a coalition of kings, doing the Circumcisions on himself and all the males of his household, (they must REALLY have thought that old Abe had really gone around the bend on THAT ONE!), and just following God wherever he was led.

Abraham also made some stupid decisions during this time that directly coincided with a faltering of that Faith. The business in Egypt, the incident with Hagar, and allowing himself to be "henpecked" by his beloved Sarah, all could have destroyed his relationship with God. All of those incidents were the result of FEAR, which is the Opposite of Faith. By far, the worst Fear is the fear that God won't keep His Promise. That's when Fear becomes a Sin.

In spite of all that, God DOES keep His Promise, and the time has come for fulfillment.

Three Visitors come to Abraham's Tent in the Middle of Nowhere, and Abraham switches into a whole new aspect of his Personality. In an instant, Abraham morphs into The King of HOSPITALTY and General Manager of the Hotel Abraham. Meat is prepared, Cheese and Side Dishes made, Seat Cushions Fluffed Up, and the Tent is opened. The Guests are welcomed, their feet washed, and invited in. Sarah and the rest of the family and servants are instructed to do everything to make the Three Visitors comfortable.

Eastern Orthodox Iconography depicts these Three Visitors with wings and halos. While some Scholars of Sacred Art theorize that They are The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit, most interpret The Three Visitors as Angels...Messengers From God. (I prefer the latter Explanation, but that's just me).

Tomorrow we'll talk about Sarah, and her reaction to the Message.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

”Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” (Hosea 6:3 NIV)
