Day twenty-five of a walk through the whole Bible to know the God who speaks, opened up. Genesis 15:1-6 in the Hebrew: the shield (magen) and reward (sakar) God names Himself after the battle; the ancient Nuzi custom of adopting a servant as heir that lies behind Abram's worry; and the two words that carry the whole scene, aman, the root of 'amen', the firmness of a child leaning its full weight on arms it trusts, and chashab, the accountant's word for what God enters in the ledger when He counts Abram's trust as righteousness. Why this quiet night is where Scripture defines faith, and how Paul reads it straight through to Jesus.
Day twenty-five of a walk through the whole Bible to know the God who speaks. Abram is rich and childless, and God comes to him in the dark with a shield, a reward, and a sky full of stars he cannot count. Abram says his ache out loud, God answers with one child and a countless family, and Abram believes Him, the moment Scripture will call the first man credited as righteous for taking God at His word. Why believing what God says, when your life still argues the other way, is how anyone comes to know Him and be counted right with Him.
Day twenty-four of a walk through the whole Bible to know the God who speaks, opened up. Genesis 14:17-24 in the Hebrew: Melchizedek (malki-tsedeq), king of righteousness and king of Salem (shalem), peace; the first time God is called Most High (Elyon); and the surprising verb behind Creator of heaven and earth, qanah, the word for owning what you have made. Why the first tithe in the Bible lands before the Law, why the book of Hebrews says Levi paid it too, and how a priest-king with no recorded father is the pattern Christ fulfils.
Day twenty-four of a walk through the whole Bible to know the God who speaks. Abram rides home from the battle, and two kings come out to meet him: the king of Sodom, who wants to strike a deal, and Melchizedek, a priest-king who appears once in Genesis and never again, bringing bread and wine and a blessing. Melchizedek names the God Abram serves, Creator of heaven and earth; and an hour later Abram borrows those very words to turn down every reward Sodom offers him. Why knowing who God is set Abram free to refuse a fortune, and how a priest with no recorded father points all the way to Christ.
Day twenty-three of a walk through the whole Bible to know the God who speaks, opened up. Genesis 14:1-16 in the Hebrew: Abram called the Hebrew (ibri), the man who crossed over and lives apart; the 318 trained (chanik) men born in his house; the draw out (ruq), pursue (radaph) and bring back (shuv) that shape the first rescue in Scripture; and the captives (shabah) carried off from Sodom. Why the man who held a promise could move while the man who chose by sight was taken, and how Abram going into the night for his brother foreshadows Christ, who came to proclaim liberty to the captives.
Day twenty-three of a walk through the whole Bible to know the God who speaks. Four eastern kings sweep down, sack Sodom, and drag off Lot, the nephew who once chose the best land by sight; and Abram, the man who let that land go and kept only a promise, arms 318 men born in his household and rides through the night to bring him back. Why the one holding a word from God was free to act while the one who lived by sight ended up a prisoner, why Abram fought only for his family, with the whole land already promised to him, and how a rescue in the dark points all the way to the One who came to set captives free.
