EARTH's NIGHT OF SIN TO TERMINATE IN A MORNING OF JOY.
Genesis 15 :
12 As the sun was going down ( man's fall because of sin), Abram fell into a trance (deep sleep) and great and fearful darkness came over him.
Luke 22 :
39 Then he (Jesus) went out and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, accompanied by the disciples.
40 When he (Jesus) reached the PLACE he (Jesus) said to them, "PRAY THAT YOU MAY BE SPARED THE TEST."
41 He (Jesus) himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray:
42 "FATHER, IF IT BE YOUR WILL, TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME. YET NOT MY WILL BUT YOURS BE DONE."
43 And now there appeared to him an angel from heaven bringing him STRENGTH,
44 and IN ANGUISH OF SPIRIT HE PRAYED THE MORE URGENTLY; and his sweat was like
drops of blood falling to the ground.
45 When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples he found them asleep, WORN OUT BY GRIEF.
46 "WHY ARE YOU SLEEPING?" he said. "RISE AND PRAY THAT YOU MAY BE SPARED THE TEST."
Genesis 15 :
13 The LORD said to Abram, "KNOW THIS FOR CERTAIN : YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL
BE ALIENS LIVING IN A LAND THAT IS NOT THEIR OWN; THEY WILL BE
ENSLAVED AND HELD IN OPPRESSION FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS.
14 BUT I SHALL PUNISH THE NATION WHOSE SLAVES THEY ARE, AND
AFTERWARDS THEY WILL DEPART WITH GREAT POSSESSIONS.
15 YOU YOURSELF WILL JOIN YOUR FOREFATHERS IN PEACE AND BE BURIED
AT A RIPE OLD AGE.
16 BUT IT WILL BE THE FOURTH GENERATION WHO WILL RETURN HERE, FOR TILL
THEN THE AMORITES WILL NOT BE RIPE FOR PUNISHMENT."
17 The sun went down and it was dusk, and there appeared a smoking brazier and a flaming torch
which passed between the divided pieces.
18 That DAY the LORD made a COVENANT with Abram, and said, " I GIVE TO YOUR
DESCENDANTS THIS LAND FROM THE RIVER OF EGYPT TO THE GREAT RIVER,
THE RIVER EUPHRATES, THE TERRITORY OF THE KENITES, KENIZZITES,
KADMONITES, HITTITES, PERIZZITES, REPHAIM, AMORITES, CANAANITES,
GIRGASHITES, and JEBUSITES. "
