“Your father Abraham
rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad."
Abraham is the
father of the believers.
He believed in the
Savior.
Our spiritual father
must believe the same way we do.
Take another look at
Melchizedek
whom Abraham paid
tithes to and who served communion to Abraham.
Melchizedek, King of
peace, had no earthly parents,
had no beginning of
days
or end of life.
The only person He
appeared to was the father of believers, Abraham.
He appeared to
Abraham approximately 2,000 years after Adam's birth.
Jesus appeared 2,000
years after that as a baby.
And our King of
kings and Lord of lords will appear in the eastern sky approximately 2,000
years after that.
Think on this.
indicates that
Abraham saw Christ’s day (“having seen them afar off”).
Abraham particularly
saw in the continuing seed of Isaac the beginning of God’s fulfilling the
covenant that would culminate in Christ.
John 8:57
“Then said the Jews
unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?"
Their view of Jesus
was strictly physical.
They had not
understood what He had been telling them at all; that He was eternal God the
Son.
John 8:58
“Jesus said unto
them,
Verily, verily, I
say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am."
