Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
We get to really see God’s good side here. There’s quite a bit of blessing, and not a whole lot of cursing, commanding, and genocide (well, maybe a little cursing). God promises to make Abram a great nation, and this is Biblical proof that the United States was made by God for Abram.
One point that some people miss is that God is promising Abram that his (Abram’s) name will be great, but he neglects to mention that he’ll later be changing Abram’s name.
