God frequently identifies Himself in Scripture as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. God covenanted with the patriarchs of Israel to write the story of redemption. The primary question of the patriarchal history therefore became, “Who will inherit the promises originally given to Abraham?” The pattern of passing on the blessing is a key theme in Scripture and foreshadows the passing of the gospel among the people of God today. In this lecture, Dr. Sproul discusses the history of the patriarchal blessing in Genesis and its relevance for God’s covenant people today.
