Please bothers and sisters, could any of you tell me Why is God not called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel? But rather He says 'I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob'. Afterall ,He changed Jacob to Israel. |

In the Bible, the man Jacob, was mostly referred to as Jacob - even after he was renamed Israel by God, right up till his death. You will find that on most occassions where he was referred to as Israel there was some reference to his sons/family. Israel was mostly used to refer to Jacob's descendants collectively, while Jacob mostly reffered to the individual. 'The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob' ,therefore, follows as particular reference is being made to the God that these individuals served. 'God of Israel' is usually used to refer to the God of the descendants of Jacob collectively. 4 Likes |

1 Chronicles 29:18 "O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, our fathers, preserve this forever in the intentions of the heart of Your people, and direct their heart to You;" 1 Kings 18:36 "At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, “O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word.
