Now Playing: ABRAHAM-A FRIEND OF GOD
350 years after the flood,faithfull Noah died.It was just two years later that the man you see in the picture was born.He was very special person to GOD.His name was Abraham.He lived with his family in that city of Ur.One day JEHOVAH told Abraham:'Leave Ur and your relatives,and go to a country I will show you.'Did Abramham obey GOD and leave behind all the comforts of Ur?Yes,he did.And it was because Abraham always obeyed GOD that he came to be known as GOD's friend.Some of Abraham's family went along with him when he left Ur.His father Te'rah did.So did his newphew Lot.And,of course,Abraham's wife Sarah went too.In time they all arrived at a place called Ha'ran,where Te'rah died.They were far away from Ur,After a while Abraham and his household left Ha'ran and came to the land called Ca'naan.There JEHOVAH said:"This is the land that I will give to your children.'Abraham stayed in Ca'naan and lived in tents.GOD began to help Abraham so that he came to have great flocks of sheep and other animals and hundreds of servants.But he and sarah did not have any children of their own.When Abraham was 99 years old,JEHOVAH said:'I promise that you will become father to many nations of people,'But how could this happen,since Abraham and Sarah were now to old to have a child?(READ GENESIS 11:1-7 17:1-8 THEN 18:9-19)
