The Covenant with Abram (Genesis 15)

Listen to this post

It’s very important to pay attention here. If we recap, this should be sound in your mind. The Tower of Babel in the land of Sennar, modern-day Sudan, is where the majority of the people after the flood dispersed from. The children of Ham (who are written in Genesis 10 as the children of Japheth), left the continent.

The children of Shem went from Sennar, north, west, and a few sprinkled south. One of the prominent to go south went at the command of the Father in Heaven; this was Abram. If we use modern-day names for Abram’s journey, he left Sudan, went to Nigeria, was commanded to leave Nigeria, and went to Namibia and even South Africa.

The Great Spirit promised to give him and his descendants ALL of the lands of Shem (which is the continent of Africa). This was reiterated to him in chapter 13, and he was coronated by the sitting high priest of the Melchizedek Order in chapter 14.

He’s passing all the steps to be the holder of the covenant.

The Great Spirit spoke to Abram in a vision reiterating the promises of land and riches, He also told Abram that He Himself was Abram’s shield and great reward. It does not get any better than that. But Abram thought, how would he receive all these things with no physical heir to leave them to? He only had his steward, Eliezer from Damascus (northern Nigeria).

The Great Spirit told Abram a physical son from his own bowels will be his heir. From this heir, Abram will have children like the stars in the sky and the sand on the beaches. Abram believed in the Great Spirit and his belief alone is counted for righteousness. The Great Spirit then proved to Abram this whole ordeal was not a figment of his imagination.

Genesis 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.

13 And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;

14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.

15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.

17 And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

The Vision

As the sun was setting, Abram fell into a deep sleep, and everything became dark and terrifyingly frightening. Abram then received a prophetic word (that may very well be two-fold). His offspring will be strangers in a land that was not theirs (some people say ancient Egypt, some people say modern-day America) and will be forced into slavery.

They will be abused and ill-treated for 400 years, but the nation that afflicts them will be repaid. The Great Spirit will judge that nation harshly and Abram’s seed would come out with great wealth and substance. Abram was then promised his seed will be given “this land.”

They will have the land from the river of Egypt (the Nile we call it today) to the great river, the Euphrates and this is the Niger River (See the Abantu Research and Study Bible).

19 The Kenites, and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites, 20 And the Hittites, and the Perizzites, and the Rephaims, 21 And the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

Verse 19 is east, verse 20 is central, and verse 21 is south. Essentially, this is what will be given to Abram’s offspring.

That is the Continent of Africa
