The Promise Keeper

 

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and you shall bruise him on the heel.—Genesis 3:13

Since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed—Genesis 18:18

“The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.—Genesis 49:10

There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.—Isaiah 9:7

God Directs the Course of the Promise

• Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign—Isaiah 7:14

God Determines the Terms of the Promise

• Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.—Isaiah 7:14

God Disposes the Efficacy of the Promise

• When it was reported to the house of David, . . . his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake with the wind.—Isaiah 7:2
