To see Genesis 13 without my comments click HERE.
When Abram and Lot left Egypt they once again traveled in the direction of Canaan land. The bible makes it very clear that he was a very rich man, and undoubtedly at least some of his riches came from the Pharaoh in Egypt. The wealth going to the Abram and his descendants coming from Egypt also happens in the story of the Exodus with Moses.
As an act of faith Abram returns to the alter of Genesis 12:8 and makes a sacrifice to the lord. I think it's important to note that Lot was not involved in this sacrifice. Soon after arriving there was problems between Abram and Lot's men as the land was not able to support both at the same time. Abram gave Lot a choice of where he wanted to go and Abram went the other direction. Lot ends up taking the land to the east which is approximately the area around the south end of the dead sea we know this area today as the area where the wicked city of Sodom once stood.
This is also the place in the bible when Father Yahweh makes an unconditional covenant to Abram that his seed would be innumerable. Genesis 13:16 "And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered."
Just this covenant alone will show you that the descendants of Abram will become the majority of the planet which cannot be found in the Jews as most Judeo-Chrsitan churches teach, as they are numbered and are not the majority.
It is also very important to realize that Abram was not a Jew as we know the word today, as the word Jew represents a person that practices the Anti-Christ religion of Judaism. Even if one uses the definition that a Jew is one that comes from the tribe of Judah (Judahite) then the argument does not hold water because the one tribe of Judah out of the 12 tribes did not exist then. If you remember it goes Abraham-Issac-Jacob-Judah and Abram was the great grand father of Judah so he could not be from Judah, he was not a Jew!
This fact is best summized by Howard B. Rand in his book called "Primogenesis" pg.68
"Let those who maintain that Abraham was a Jew explain why many races, other than the Jews, are represented in his descendants. Those who teach this do not understand the story the bible tells. It is absolutely necessary to recognize the true origin of races, including the Jews, if we are to understand the meaning of history and the current happenings of today.
Abraham was not a Jew although he was a Hebrew (Gen. 14:13). He had a number of sons, but they did not all have the same mother. Ishmael was born of Hagar. Isaac was born of Sarah. After the death of Sarah, Abraham married Keturah, who became the mother of six sons."
Praise the Lord for his unchanging word!
