“In this lesson, we discover how Satan learns something important. It permits him to narrow down his attack strategy as he seeks to prevent the arrival of the Messiah and to prevent his own eventual destruction. God sovereignly elects Abraham, and He makes an unconditional, irrevocable, and unilateral covenant with Abraham that promises two key things: (1.) the Messiah would come through his lineage, and (2.) his descendants would receive a large physical territory. These covenant terms originate all the reasons for the spiritual problem of antisemitism which have plagued history and modern times.”
