The Lord God demands loyalty. In his anger, He takes revenge
on his enemies. The Lord is powerful, yet patient, He makes sure that the
guilty are always punished. He can be seen in storms and in whirlwinds, clouds
are the dust from His feet.
Abraham son
One hot summer afternoon Abraham was sitting by the entrance
to his tent near the sacred trees of mamre, when the lord appeared to him.
Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. While they were eating, he
stood near them under the trees, and they asked, “Where is your wife Sarah?”.
“she is right there in the tent,” Abraham answered. One of the guest was the
Lord, and He said, “I will come back about this time next year, and when I do,
Sarah will already have a son.” Sarah was behind Abraham, listening at the entrance
to the tent. Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was well pass the age
for having children. So she laughed and said to her self, “Now that I am worn
out and my husband is old, will I really know such happiness?”. The Lord asked
Abraham, “why did Sarah laugh? Does she doubt that she can have a child in her
old age? I am the Lord! There is nothing too difficult for me. I will come back
next year at the time I promised, and Sarah will already have a son.” Sarah was
so frightened that she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” “ yes you did” He
answered.
