    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 7, 2014
     | 7,184 views

    The Life of Abraham, Part 14: Isaac Shall Be Heir Genesis 21:8-21 Introduction The birth of Isaac was a time of great joy. But the birth of Isaac also would have important implications.

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.
