Topic: Abraham & God (Gen. 12:1; Gen. 11:27-32)

Previous Thought: Once God asked Abraham (then Abram) to leave his father's house to a land He would show him, Abraham did so immediately and therefore received several promises. Hence, the name "Father of Faith".

Actual revelation: Abraham did not obey God immediately.

Explanation: Please hold unto your bible and let the Holy Spirit teach us. If we read Genesis 12:1 carefully, especially using KJV and NKJV (I'm always wary of some translations):

Genesis 12:1a says "Now the Lord had said to Abram...". There is a 'had', which makes it past participle. God had once instructed him to leave his father's house as stated in the rest of Genesis 12:1, before that moment. Where and when was he previously instructed? Aren't we reading too much into the scriptures by basing the first argument on the word 'had'?

Let's read Genesis 11:27-32 carefully which tells us about the family background of Abraham. His father was Terah. He had three sons: Abraham, Nahor and Haran (who begat Lot). They were living in their native land which is in Ur of Chaldeans (this was actually the same people that ruled in Babylon and took Abraham's descendants to exile through Nebuchadnezzar, in the book of Daniel but that's by the way).
It's important to note that Ur was a city in Mesopotamia. Lot's father (Haran) died in their native land Ur. Abraham and Nahor got married.

Isn't it strange that in Genesis 11:31 which reads: "And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.", Terah was already heading to the same land which we later discover God was going to promise his son, Abraham? But he was probably distracted by the name of a city which reminded him of his dead son- Haran - and settled there. Actually, God distracted him because it was Abraham God had spoken to previously to leave his father's house to a land He would show him but Abraham probably was hesitant. Then, God touched Terah's heart to initiate the idea of a migration to the land of Canaan. He settled and died in Haran. Then, God now reminded Abraham in Genesis 12:1 what He had said.

Please, open your bible to Acts 7:2-4. Stephen was facing the high priest and his detractors and spoke under the inspiration of the Holy Ghost saying: "And he said, “Brethren and fathers, listen: The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Haran, and said to him "Get out of your country and your relatives to a land that I will show you. Then he came out of the land of the Chaldeans and dwelt in Haran. And from there, when his father was dead, He moved him to this land in which you now dwell". God originally appeared to Abraham in Mesopotamia...in the land Ur! And that was when the words of Genesis 12:1-3 were originally given to him. But even the one that eventually became the Father of Faith had his own doubts about just leaving his father's house.

Nehemiah 9:7 reads: “You are the Lord God, Who chose Abram, And brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans, And gave him the name Abraham...". God's call to Abraham did not start from the city of Haran. God orchestrated EVERYTHING to clear Abraham's doubts and hesitation and develop his faith in this "Person" that is speaking to him.

God reminded Abraham in Genesis 15:7 that: "Then He said to him, “I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.” God had been speaking to Abraham since he was still at his native land of Ur. After his father, Terah (who I believe Abraham clinged unto so much) died, God then reminded him of the original instruction. Hence, in Genesis 12:1- "The Lord had said...".

What is the usefulness of this little insight you may ask? It actually humanizes Abraham as someone like us, not as an unrealistic historical figure of faith. Even James 5:17 says "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months." These people are just like us! They also had frailties. If Abraham could doubt God's voice at first when such strange instruction was coming, it is no sin for a young believer to err on the side of caution when he starts to hear God. He needs to be sure and guided by the Holy Spirit and the Bible. Because it is strange when we read the news nowadays and someone says a 'voice' told him to sleep with his daughter. Even if the person is dunce enough to not know that's clearly against the scriptures, you don't have to obey immediately since you should know it's a strange instruction. This insight also makes you appreciate growth in our personal walk with God.

Abraham also grew over time in his faith walk. Note that he was 75 years old here. When he was above 100 years and already had Isaac, and God now requested he sacrifice his son in Genesis 22, he had mastered the voice over 25 years (and more actually) to be sure this is the same God talking to him.

Glory to God. Jesus Christ said: "I know my sheep, and my sheep hear my voice...".

God bless you
