The genealogy of Terah in order to introduce
Abraham. Genesis 11:27-32, Ur means fire in Hebrew. Chaldeans means
destruction in Hebrew. Haran means fruitlessness in Hebrew.
Stephen said Abraham was called in Ur (Mesopotamia) before he went to Haran
Acts 7:2-ff.
The Promise given to Abraham was, personal,
national & international Genesis 12:1- 3.
Abram journeys to the Promise Land Genesis 12:4-9.
Shechem means the place of strength in Hebrew. Moreh means the
place of instruction in Hebrew. Canaan means bow the knee in
Hebrew. Bethel means the House of God in Hebrew.
So these things become a Great Parable in the lives
of all future believers and children of Abraham. Just as Abraham, we are
called from: Fire, destruction and fruitlessness to a place of strength,
a place of instruction, so that we might bow the knee and that place is the
House of God. Abraham
