Arise - Genesis 13:14-18

Genesis 13:14-18 ESV 


The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward, for all the land that you see I will give to you and to your offspring forever. I will make your offspring as the dust of the earth, so that if one can count the dust of the earth, your offspring also can be counted. Arise, walk through the length and the breadth of the land, for I will give it to you.” So Abram moved his tent and came and settled by the oaks of Mamre, which are at Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.


God told Abram to arise and walk on the land that God was promising to give to him and his descendants forever. He did so and built an alter to worship the Lord. 


Jesus tells us to arise on the land He promises to give us forever. We are transferred to the kingdom of heaven
