Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 27
“ You, dear reader, will probably imagine that the possession of the land by the twelve tribes was a fulfillment of the promise so far as the land was concerned; but remember that the words are, "To thee and to thy seed." ”
Thomas Williams, The Great Salvation — Proposition 27
“ We have shown that the promises made to Abraham are called the gospel (Gal. 3:8) . The gospel cannot be preached unless Christ is preached. In what sense was Christ preached in these promises to Abraham? Is it not Christ that is to possess all nations of the earth"? Is it not to Christ that the "uttermost parts of the earth are to be given (Isa. 2:8) ? But let us be sure that Christ is the very essence, as it were, of the promises made to the fathers ”
