As Abram sleeps, God alone passes between the divided carcasses of a variety of animals to confirm His covenant to make the then-childless and elderly Abram the "father of many nations" and of Abram's Seed to come, Messiah Jesus, who alone would one day sacrifice Himself to save the world. Message #19 in Pastor Brian Larson's verse-by-verse study of the Book of Genesis, given at Calvary Chapel of Truckee on Wednesday, January 23, 2013.
