We see God building upon foundations again and again
Throughout Scripture, we see God building upon foundations again and again. He spoke, and the universe came into existence … but he wasn't finished. After creation, he began revealing himself to his creatures.
Adam and Eve learned God's discipline when they disobeyed him. Noah and his generation learned God's judgment and the consequences of unrighteousness. Abraham received the first promise that he would father God's chosen people, through whom all the nations would be blessed. Israel learned of God's redemption when he brought us out of Egypt. We learned of his holy character and expectations when he gave us the Torah. We learned that he holds us accountable for our disobedience when he sent us into exile. And we learned how he is faithful to keep his promises when he brought us back to the land of Israel.
As we study the unfolding of these events, it should be obvious that we can trust God to bring the Messiah on schedule.
