Location and TimesGenesis 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel. 11 And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins; 12 And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac, to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land.
God has made this same promise to Abraham and to Isaac. Now He makes the promise to Jacob. Jacob’s name is changed to Israel. This promise will also be for Jacob’s seed that will come after Him.
God is a God of His Word. When He promises something it will come true. Israel will get her land. God will provide for them. He continues to keep His Word.
The good thing for us to know is that as we have seen God keep His Word all through the Bible we can know that He will keep His Word with us as well.
