Further, the adultery was not only happening, but was encouraged and not stopped. As Jeremiah 23:14 references Sodom and Gomorrah in the fact of prophets, too, committing adultery and “strengthening the hands of evildoers”, it goes to show that not only are the people doing these things, but that no one tries to stop them besides Lot, who gets out safely (NIV).

In this passage, Abraham represents the Holy Spirit, Lot represents the believers, and the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah represents the wickedness on the earth. Below are primary lessons on the Spirit’s intercession for the believer;

Her mother is said have been helped by the angel Gabriel. Abraham is born with a light emanating from him and in her confusion; his mother leaves him in the cave. The angel Gabriel is said to make it that milk will flow from Abraham’s finger so that he will not starve. The legend also states that Abraham knew in infancy of the “one true God.” Abraham was later reunited with his family and made it his mission to convert everyone to his faith (Goldstein p. 49). Later, Abraham received a divine command to circumcise himself and all his male descendants with the promise that this would lead to future greatness. Shortly after Abraham had fulfilled this command he and his wife, Sarah, changed their names (previously Abram and Sarai). Name-changing is an important Jewish custom as well and will be discussed later (Goldstein p. 50). Shortly after, their first son Isaac was born, and it is said that God tested Abraham by commanding him to kill his son. When Abraham was about to go through with the command the angel Gabriel stopped him (Goldstein p. 50-51). The Jewish people trace their ancestry to Abraham through his son Isaac (Abraham also had another son, Ishmael with a servant girl who the Muslims trace their ancestry) (Goldstein p. 54). The legends of Abraham are very important in the Jewish faith because it is the basis of their entire religion. Abraham is seen as the first

Abraham, father of the Jewish nation, did not need his child Isaac to wed one of the agnostic Canaanite ladies in the range, so he sent his worker Eliezer to his country to discover a spouse for Isaac. At the point when the worker arrived, he implored that the right young lady would not just offer him a beverage of water from the well, however offer to water his ten camels as well.

Upon reaching Egypt, Abram realizes that because of Sarai's beauty that the Egyptians most likely murder him in order to take his wife, so he tells her to say that she is his sister so that he will not be harmed. The Pharaoh's men do notice Sarai's beauty and take her to the Pharaoh's palace. An angel from God appears before the Pharaoh, punishes the Pharaoh, afterwards the Pharaoh releases Sarai along with his daughter to be her hand-maiden as well as several servants, livestock, riches and wealth, then allows Abram with Sarai to leave with their new servants and wealth.

Genesis 1:2 reveals the earth was without form and void; darkness covered the face of the deep. Light was absent. As the Holy Spirit hovered, God spoke light into being and saw it was good with everything he did for his next six creative days. All of this

God is accepted Jacob and that his descendants would rule the land of Canaan through Isaac 's blessing. Esau also accepted Jacob into love and was kind to him when they met further in both of their lives . When Jacob saw Esau coming he had four hundred men with him, Jacob was fearful of his brother so he guarded his family and prayed to God that his brother would spare his life and spare the lives of his family. When Esau came to Jacob he didn 't kill him, but embraced him and helped him. Jacob also did not accept Leah, Rachel 's sister for whom he loved more. This favor towards Rachel also followed through when she was barren, but finally gave birth to Joseph. Jacob loved Joseph more than all his children Chronicles 5:1 the

forgiveness he gave Abraham an opportunity to repent his sins and confess the truth to him.

Abraham still had faith in God even though his promise had not been fulfilled by God/God did not fulfil his promise. Abraham and Sarah fulfilled all the commands/orders that God asked them to do and they completed his commands faithfully like they didn’t ignore his command or ran away from God. This means, we should trust God no matter what it takes and instead of ignoring or running away from God’s command start following them and he will give you whatever you want or fulfil your promise.

The story of Joseph, recorded in Genesis 37-50, is common in multitudinous places of worship throughout the world. For the most part, the story is one of a forgiving, strong man. After years of hardship as a result of a decision made by nine of his brothers, Joseph was blessed by God and forgave those nine brothers. What those places of worship don’t tend to discuss, however, is the fact that Joseph, throughout the story, tended to pick favorites amongst his brothers and hold grudges against the nine that made the critical decision, causing the character to seem slightly hostile and unforgiving, a counter-narrative of the typical story told in churches and synagogues everywhere.

But Joseph himself also had two children – Ephraim and Manasseh. In taking away her disgrace, God showered Rachel with His grace.

History shows that God continues with His plan. God chooses Abraham, to bless all nations through him and his Seed . As they multiplied, covenantal promises were given through Moses. To instruct,

After hearing this from God, Abram agrees to leave his home and move southwest to Canaan with his wife and his nephew, Lot, to a land which God has promised to give to Abram’s descendants. Abram takes up residence there and creates several altars throughout the land as symbols to prove his devotion to God. Soon after his stay in Egypt, Abram becomes wealthy and returns to Canaan, and with the help of 318 men, he defeats marauding armies from the East that has descended upon Sodom, where Lot is currently living. The king of Sodom recognizes Abram for his great deed, and the priest Melchizedek blesses Abram with a gift of bread and wine. Soon after, God comes to him again, telling Abraham that he and Sarah will have a child of his own, and when Abraham is 100 and his wife is 90, God gives them a child, named Isaac, his name meaning happiness. Once Isaac is older, Abraham is once again, asked to prove his devotion to God, this

(Genesis 3:15) The man and woman had children and eventually their decedents spread far and wide. God looked for a holy people in a fallen world through which to accomplish His purposes, yet sin was rooted in the hearts of humanity and they kept turning from Him. Eventually, God spoke to a man named Abraham and promised to bless Abraham and give him descendants that outnumbered all the stars God had made so that they could be a blessing to all nations. Through Abraham’s family line God would bring the ultimate blessing, the promised one who would restore God’s people to Him. Though Abraham and his wife were very old and past their childbearing years, Abraham believed God’s promise, and because of his faith, God considered Abraham righteous and in a good relationship with Him. (Genesis 12:1-3; Genesis 15:5-6)

"For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and
