Now, God made good all His promises to Abraham and his descendants. He began by giving Abraham a child at his old age; when all natural, historical and medical facts proved that it was impossible. Beyond every expectation.
In fact, a certain translation said that Sarah gave birth to Isaac when her womb has already been considered DEAD. Sarah was ninety and Abraham one hundred years! Do you want to talk about the riches and wealth? He did exactly what He promised Abraham. He made him rich, famous and very powerful, just as He promised.
What do you want to say about the descendants of Abraham? Can you count them today? The Nation of Israel, the Arab Jews, African Jews, European Jews. The Jews in America, Russia, even in Asia. Remember also that there are those who are children of Abraham by faith and these are billions of Christians all over the world. All very formidable, organised, wealthy and powerful. In fact, I always laugh when Israel is being threatened.

This is because I know very well that no nation on earth can easily defeat those people. When you point at the Israel in Palestine, you will be contending with the uncountable (and sometimes unidentifiable), powerful, formidable Jewish solidarity in Diaspora. God’s promises truly cannot fail. You can trust Him.
