Beraishis 12C – Stage 2 – ואברכך – And I will Bless You (With the Land of Israel)

STAGE TWO

ואברכך – And I will Bless You

The nation will be planted in a land flowing with milk & honey.

This second stage of Jewish history, the creation of a nation out of Avraham, was to have become a reality in Eretz Yisrael. There, Israel would live apart from the nations. Not only would Israel be blessed, but blessing would spring from Israel. Israel would become a source of blessing.

Had we been worthy, all the promises to us that are to be fulfilled at the End of Days would have been fulfilled thousands of years ago, and the whole course of human history would have been radically different.
