5 Steps To Understanding God's Plan For The Ages...
... And Israel's Role In It

(Reproduced with kind permission of UAFC in South Africa)

STEP 1 - God Had A Plan For Israel

From the beginning, way back in the book of Genesis, God made it clear that He had a plan and purpose for Israel.

God said to Abraham (Genesis 12: 1- 3) “…in thee and thy seed will all nations of the earth be blessed”. He said that He was going to use Israel to bless the world, and He entered into a covenant or contract with Abraham.

Exodus 19:4-6 further tells us that God was to make a model spiritual nation of Israel, an example to the entire world, a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation!
