- "Welcome to the Bible Stories Channel, where we delve into the timeless narratives that have shaped cultures, religions, and individuals for centuries. Today, we embark on a captivating journey through the life of Abraham, a key figure in the biblical narrative and often referred to as the 'Father of Nations.' From his initial call to leave his homeland to the harrowing events in Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham's story is one of faith, obedience, and divine intervention. Join us as we unfold the layers of this compelling tale, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and the overarching themes that resonate through the ages."
Leave your homeland and your father's house, and go to the land that I will show you. A voice resounded in the silence of my heart, a voice that, though not audible to the ears, was clearer and more powerful than the roar of any storm. "I will make of you a great nation; I will bless those who bless you and curse him who curses you, and by you all the peoples of the earth will be blessed." These were the words of the Lord that resonated in my being, marking the beginning of my story. I am Abraham, born as Abram and a resident of Ur of the Chaldees, a prosperous city in Mesopotamia where the Tigris and Euphrates rivers feed the land with life. My father, Terah, was a respected man, but our lives were ordinary, marked by the seasons and the rituals of a polytheistic society. The divine call was both an awakening and a rupture. "I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing" (Genesis 12). How could someone like me, a mere mortal among so many, be the one chosen for such a destiny? The promise was as overwhelming as the night sky under which I stood, and it is here, at the age of 75, that my incredible story begins. When I decided to conquer fear and set out on the journey, I could not have imagined that I would make it to 178 years old or that I would have a great offspring. This is where my story begins, with a heart full of hope and a budding faith. I obeyed the Lord and set out with my wife, Sarai, Lot, my nephew, and all our possessions and the people we had gathered. We headed for the land of Canaan, a journey full of hope guided by divine promise. We traveled northwest through Haran and finally arrived in Canaan, a land of rolling hills and fertile valleys. It was a diverse region inhabited by Canaanite peoples and fortified city-states, each ruled by its own king. Life in Canaan was different from Ur; here, fields and vineyards stretched as far as the eye could see, and the scent of olive and fig trees filled the air. We discovered that although the land stretching before us was rich and promising, it was occupied by other peoples and cultures.
I traveled through the country to the holy place of Shechem under the oak of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were the owners of those lands. It was there that the Lord appeared to me again, promising me, "To your descendants, I will give this land." In honor of Him and His promise, I erected an altar in that holy place. Then I moved toward the hill country east of Bethel and between Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. I set up my camp there too, erected an altar to the Lord, and called upon His name, marking every place of my sojourn with an act of faith and devotion. However, the test of our faith was not long in coming. The promised land, which had welcomed my steps under the blessing of a divine promise, soon became inhospitable under the yoke of severe famine. "Why have you brought us to this place?" I wondered, looking skyward, searching for answers.

Curious. What nations are Abraham's children?
Middle Eastern. I regret looking back not OBEY the HOLY GHOST. Satan tricked me and I am feel lost. I was Biblically sound then this is bad.
I believe it was "Ur." NOT ear.
