God promised Abram that he would be the father of many nations, even though he was nearly one hundred years old. Isaac was his firstborn through Sarah. This line would eventually bring Jesus the Messiah. Moreover, because of Jesus all nations can experience the blessing, if they believe on Him. In the future, after Jesus returns all nations will surely be blessed when war is removed and replaced with peace that the world has not known since before the fall of humanity.
