This is exactly how it was promised in Genesis 12 (“I will make you into a great nation … I will make your name great”). His name is great only because the children became nation(s) that kept the record of his life – and then individuals and nations that came from him became great. He did nothing except camp out where he was told to go and father a few children. He was not a great writer, king, inventor or military leader.

Surprisingly Abraham really did nothing important in his life. At that time the name of Abraham was not well-known so the promise came true only after it was written down, not before. which means the promise has been in writing since at least that time. The earliest copy of Genesis found in the Dead Sea Scrolls is dated 200-100 B.C. In the Bible God says ‘I will make your name great’ and today the name of Abraham/Abram is known worldwide. Most of us wonder if there is a God and if He really is the God of the Bible. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse Īnd all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (Genesis 12:2-3) Abraham’s name became Great I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you We can take his story seriously because the places and cities he visited are mentioned in other old writings. This ancient man is Abraham (also known as Abram). The Bible says that his story affects our future.

Why? A look at Israel’s history in the book of Genesis in the Bible reveals that 4000 years ago a man, who is now very well known, went on a camping trip in that part of the world. The news continues to report on Jews moving to Israel, on the technology invented there, but also on conflict, wars and tensions with surrounding people. Even though Israel is a small country it is always in the news.
