Background of the Abrahamic Covenant

Noah was God's chosen man to inaugurate His "new" post-diluvian world, and He chose Abram out of that world - still groaning under the curse - to be His instrument for ushering in the actual new creation that the post-flood world prefigured. This message examines the human and historical context for God's covenant with Abram, which is crucial for understanding the covenant's purpose in its own time, in the life of Israel, and in God's larger purpose for His creation fulfilled in the Messiah.
