(7) Did Isaac have to do anything to receive the benefits of the promise to Abraham?

Genesis 24:58-67 (58) And they called Rebekah, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man? And she said, I will go. (59) And they sent away Rebekah their sister, and her nurse, and Abraham's servant, and his men. (60) And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, Thou {art} our sister, be thou {the mother} of thousands of millions) and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them. (61) And Rebekah arose, and her damsels, and they rode upon the camels, and followed the man: and the servant took Rebekah, and went his way. (62) And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi; for he dwelt in the south country. (63) And Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the even tide; and he lifted up his eyes, and saw, and, behold, the camels {were} coming, (64) And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac, she lighted off the camel. (65) For she {had} said unto the servant. What man {is} this that walketh in the field to meet us? And the servant {had} said. It {is} my master: therefore she took a vail, and covered her self. (66) And the servant told Isaac all things that he had done. (67) And Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah’s tent, and took Rebekah, and she became his wife; and he loved her: and Isaac was com forted after his mother's {death}.

( )Yes. ( )No.

(8) The covenant between God and Isaac was:

( ) a. Conditional: “If you do this, then I will do that.”

( ) b. Unconditional: “This is what I promise to do to or for you.”

Genesis 22:15-18 (15) And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, (16) And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only {son}: (17) That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which {is} upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; (18) And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

(9) In Genesis 24:60 the covenant promise passed to Rebekah, the wife of Isaac. It is written, “be thou (Rebekah) the moth er of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.” The Jews have always been small in number. There are about 20 million Jews in the world today. In North America alone there are about 200 million

Christians of the White race. No one knows accurately how many more millions are to be found in Europe, England, South America, Australia, South Africa, and other nations. Which race, most nearly, fulfills this promise to Rebekah, “be the mother of thousands of millions?”

( ) a. The White race. ( ) b. The Jewish race.

(10) We also read, “and let thy seed possess the gate of those who hate thee.” Think about these points. (1) Some colored races have a dislike, even a hatred for the White race. (2) The word “gate” means “an open ing, a door, gate or port.” A port is a gate to the sea. (3) Look at a map of the world. In the Americas some of the world’s sea gates are the Bering Straights, The Panama Canal, The Straight of Magellan. In the Atlantic Ocean, The Azores, In Europe, The Straights of Gibraltar, the English Channel. In Africa, The Cape of Good Hope and the Suez Canal. Other land and sea gates, in Turkey, the Bosporus Straights and the Dardanelles. In India, the Kyber pass. Until recently, on every continent and in every ocean, almost without exception, the world’s land and sea gates are in the hands of:
