Welcome to Prophecy Q & A with Jimmy DeYoung!
Sarah and Isaac were not Jews. In Genesis 32, Jacob had his name changed to Israel, and he would be the father of twelve sons; they would be the sons or tribes of Israel which would become the Jewish people. God brought Abraham, a Gentile, out of Ur (Genesis 12), and God told him that he would make him a nation. He did not father the Arab world. He was the father of the Jewish nation. The son of promise was Isaac, not Ishmael. Isaac fathered Jacob who became the father of all of the sons of Israel and was, ultimately, the Jewish people.
God told Abraham that He would make of him a great nation. Israel comes from God who changed Jacob’s name (Genesis 32). Judah was called the first Jew (2 Kings 16:6). All of the covenants that God made to Abraham, the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12), the Land Covenant (Deuteronomy 30), the Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7), and the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31) are for the Chosen People, the Jewish people (Deuteronomy 7:6-8). “I have chosen you to be a people.”
Abraham was called the first Hebrew (Genesis 14:13).
