After Abram returns from the battle of the kings, God appears to him in a vision and reaffirms His promise of a seed and many descendants. Abram believes God and his faith (belief in God’s promise) is counted as righteousness.
After Lot departs from Abram, there is a war of the kings in the Transjordanian area. Lot is captured and Abram is determined to save him. What will become of the promise (seed)? That is, what happens if Abram dies in battle? What does this say to the future descendants of Abraham?
After returning from the battle of the kings, Abram is met by Melchizedec. Who is this Melchizedec? And what is so significant about this encounter?
After Lot separates from Abram, God renews His covenant promise with Abram. However, this time He expands it to INCLUDE Abram himself (Genesis 12:7). However, by the time Abraham dies this promise remains unfulfilled. So what does this mean? This is the principle of resurrection that is taught in the Old Testament.
Now that Abram has returned back to the Promised Land from his stay in Egypt, he discovers that God provides for him there. He repents and continues life with his wife and nephew Lot until there is disagreement about the land resources.
