There are close to 200 passages of Scripture that describe these promises of new land for the Israelites, a son for Abraham and Sarah, also the development of a great nation for them, the coming of the Messiah, the Gospel news to spread, the Holy Spirit for comfort, eternal life and inheritance for His followers.
