The Abrahamic Covenant is the Covenant made between God and Abraham, that Abraham would be a Great Nation, and that his descendants would be a blessing to the whole world. It is understood that the descendants of Abraham according to this covenant consist not of Abraham's fleshly descendants (although God does make clear that the covenant would be established through a specific physical genealogy, from Abraham, through Isaac, through David, to Jesus), but rather of all believers (see Romans 9:1-15). This covenant is fulfilled by Jesus, who is the blessing to all nations, and by means of belief in whom we all are able to become sons of Abraham through the covenant, thereby joining ourselves as citizens to that Great Nation, whereof Jesus is King, the very nation which Theonomy attempts to describe.
