Re: Has the New Covenant started or is it still in the future?
You are correct. God richly blessed Abraham and his descendants. Not only Issac, and Jacob. But God also blesses Ishmael and his seed.
Genesis 17:20
And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
But we know the promise came thru Jacob. He foretold this to Abraham, saying:
Genesis 22:18
And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.
We know the seed (being one) was Christ Jesus. And Ishmael was a descendant of Abraham also who was blessed in the seed.
