THE HOLIEST Children
of Abram (Abraham)...
Tablet One
SECTION I
<1>This generation of human with the form as we know
it now started twelve thousand years ago and was completed six thousand
years ago. God took away the
spiritual powers of man and increased his intellectual understandings.
<2>Man became a thinking being rather than a being with spiritual
powers. Through many evolutionary steps,
God brought man to this helpless point in order to guide him. (For more
detail, read The Base).
<3>Through the history of the last six thousand
years, by many lessons from Great Souls,
and through His Prophets,
God
has created a fountain of knowledge and has given many lessons in order to
guide the humans to understand the truth behind this creation and the goal
of the life.
<4>After the flood of Noah, until the time of
Abram's selection as the father of the
Hebrews, many humans went through progress toward higher consciousness,
and were ready to be chosen as
Elected Ones. These
Elected Ones will be used to bring the spiritual truth and realities
behind this universe to humanity.
<5>Also, to make man understand and believe that
these six thousand years of history have been guided by the Lord, great
events which took place in this time period had been predicted and
prophesied by His Messengers, and are written in the Scriptures. These were
given so that many might believe, especially in this time of religious
degeneration.
The earth is
divided:
<6>To start this part of The Plan, the earth was
divided and one part of it was reserved for a great purpose. This event
should have had great significance in that it was recorded in the Bible:
"...for in his days was the earth divided;..." (Gen. 10:25). What was the
purpose of this division, and what land has it been? The answers to these
questions are one part of The Plan.
Abram is chosen as the father of the
Hebrews:
Now the Lord had said unto
Abram,
Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from
thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I
will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt
be a blessing:
And I will bless them that bless thee, and
curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families
of the earth be blessed.
(Genesis 12:1-3)
<7>With this,
God
chose Abram, and commanded him to
"...Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's
house, unto a land that I will shew thee."
Abram complied with the command of the Lord, took all his belongings,
and left his home. So he showed his obedience to the Lord and his detachment
to the external world and its attractions, such as family, friends, and
belongings.
<8>Also, if the command was obeyed there was a
promise: "And I will make of thee a great nation,...will bless thee, and
make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing" and "I will bless them
that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed." <9>The command was obeyed, so the
promise would be fulfilled by the Lord.
A promise is
given about
Abram's seed:
And the Lord said unto
Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine
eyes, and look
from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and
westward:
For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give
it, and to thy seed for ever.
And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so
that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then
shall thy seed also be numbered.
(Genesis 13:14-16)
<10>Two things were promised: First, that a land
would be given to Abram's seed
which stretches northward, southward, eastward and westward (with no mention
of boundaries), and secondly, that he would increase his seed "as the dust
of the earth." So the land should be very large to bear that huge a
population.
This promise is given for
Ishmael:
And Abram
was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare
Ishmael to Abram.
(Genesis 16:16)
<11>These promises were given to
Abram. The seed of Abram was
Ishmael. Later on God changed
the name of Abram to
Abraham
and gave him new promises different from these and also a promise of a new
seed by the name of Isaac. These new promises after the change of the name
to Abraham were given to
Abraham and Isaac. But the promises which were given to
Abram were for his seed,
Ishmael. <12>Also, as we can see historically, the promises given
for Ishmael, the father of the
Arabs, have come true. Arabs are a great nation with a large territory.
