Galatians 3:26-29
" 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye be Christs, then are ye Abrahams seed, and heirs according to the promise

Answer 2

This should be interesting since it is an absolutely historically accurate fact that what is the western continents had not existed in all practicality at the Time the New Testament was written and the Continent of Australia was not known even during the writing of the New Testament.

Interesting that an Omniscient God did not clue his worshipers in on these facts. Why the Christian Clergy even punished those who said the world was round.

Now, how could your quote of prophesy be fulfilled by writings in the New Testament if there is no writing or true knowledge of whether the unknown areas of the world were peopled. I guess the writers of the new testament just had to ask one who worked magick and divination. A Magus possibly or a wondering trio of Magi.

Also: What happened to "have put on the family likeness of Christ" and when was it your Bible editors made your O.T. prophecy more plausible in the rewording the last phrase of 27.

Answer 3

Ah, that is not yet fulfilled. And if you are looking for it to be fulfilled in the New Testament, you won't find it. Also, it is not a prophecy about Jesus. The basic idea of the covenant with Abraham was that through him and his descendents, that their lifestyle and blessings would be a testament to the earth that there is indeed a God. The Israelites (being Abraham's descendents) were to bless the rest of the world with the blessings that God would bestow on them, but they did not fulfill their end of that covenant. Since Jesus came and gave the Great Commission, (1) Christians all over the world are working to spread the good news of the Gospel to every person on earth and to give them a chance to accept or reject Jesus Christ's live-giving message.

Answer 4

Up to the time of Christ, the knowledge of the True God was limited to the geographic area in which the Israelites lived, with few exceptions. Christ as Messiah was prophecied to be a "light to the Gentiles"

Isaiah 49:6 Indeed He says,
‘ It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant
To raise up the tribes of Jacob,
And to restore the preserved ones of Israel;
I will also give You as a light to the Gentiles,
That You should be My salvation to the ends of the earth.’”

Christ talked about this when he healed the Centurian's servant -

10 When Jesus heard it, He marveled, and said to those who followed, “Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! 11 And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

With Christian missionaries going all over the world for two thousand years, the knowledge of the true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is in every corner of the globe. The New Testament describes those who have faith as the "children of Abraham".

Answer 5

This prophecy will be fulfilled when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to the earth to rule and reign. When the 1000 years are up there will be that many people on the earth. Satan will be let loose out of the bottomless pit and he will go out and deceive that many people because that how many people that will be born during the 1000 years. Revelation 20: 8 And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog, and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

Answer 6

With the Birth, Death, Burial, Resurrectiuon, and Ascension of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. HE was the seed that came thru the linage of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham's belief in GOD was what caused our opportunity to become a reality. Thank GOD for this man. Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
1. We must HEAR GOD’s WORD. - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
2. We are told to BELIEVE. - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
3. We must REPENT (turn from) of our sins. - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
4. We are told to CONFESS CHRIST before men. - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
5. We are to enter the waters and BE BAPTIZED. - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
6. We are told to CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL until death. - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.

Answer 7

This is talking about the nation of Israel, that they would be a holy nation, and the seed that by which all the families of the earth would be blessed is Christ Jesus who came from the nation of Israel, specifically, the tribe of Judah. So it was fulfilled with the birth of Jesus.

Spiritually speaking, John 3;16 would do it. The gospel was first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.
