Dateline: Beersheba – Abraham, the father of Isaac, and heir to the promises of God, including the prophecy that one day Abraham’s descendants would possess all the land from the Nile River in Egypt to the Euphrates River in Mesopotamia, died this week at the age of 175 years. Sources close to the family state that Isaac and Ishmael, Abraham’s sons buried him in the cave of Machpelah which Abraham had purchased years earlier from Ephron the Hittite in order to bury his wife, Sarah, when she passed away. He is survived by his sons, Ishmael, the son of Hagar, and twelve grandsons, the sons of Ishmael; Isaac, the son of Sarah, who has not yet married.
Many of our readers may remember that we have been following closely any developments in the ongoing story of God’s intervention in Abraham’s life and the many promises that God made over the years in his several appearances to Abraham. According to those promises, Abraham’s son, Isaac, would be the heir of the promise through which these prophecies and promises would be fulfilled. (Genesis 25:7-16)
