48 - The Promised Child is Born

God visited Sarah with a child at the set time (Genesis 17: 21). He had said before He would give her a child and now the promise was to be fulfilled. The child would come at the exact time the Lord had prophesied. Just as the Lord Jesus came at His first advent at the appointed time. He will return again too at the appointed time to remove His children from this earth and sometime later commence the Tribulation. This will be followed by a thousand year Millennial Kingdom with Christ ruling the government on His shoulders (Isaiah 9: 7). Finally Sarah was able to believe God’s promises as she saw them fulfilled. Her faith had matured to the point that she believed and had confidence in the Word of God. As New Testament saints we are saved by grace through faith. We genuinely believe God’s Word because we know it is true and He is faithful. God whom had opened the wombs of the women of Abimelech now opened the womb of Sarah. He promised and He is capable. Interestingly God said or God had spoken is stated three times in these verses which emphasizes His fulfillment of His Word.
