OK. I'll give it one more try. Here is the full text we discuss. Hebrews 11:8-13.
8 "By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
9 By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
10 For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.
11 Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.
12 Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable.
13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth."
Verse 8 introduces a man who was promised something - a Land with borders. Not one of the characters in the preceding verses received a promise. Vere 9 then includes two more men who received the "same promise" - Isaac and Jacob. They all dwelt in the "place" (v.8) that they should receive as an inheritance. The subject of the Promise was a PLACE, not an MAN, and these who received the promised dwelt IN it but confessed that (i) it was a strange country, though it was (ii) the LAND of promise. In verse 10 the significance of dwelling in "TABERNACLES" in this strange Land is made apparent. It is CONTRASTED to a CITY. A CITY in scripture is a place of RULING - of GOVERNMENT. So, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob never GOVERNED this Land which they were promised. Though Abraham defeated its kings, he refused the spoil and declared that he would receive them only at the hand of God, not men.
Next, Sarah is introduced. Sarah's contribution is, together with Abraham, to bring forth, from a barren womb, two peoples. (i) A people as the stars of heaven, and (ii) a people as the sand of the sea shore. And the emphasis is on the "many". Who isable to count the stars and who can accurately number the grains of sand on a shoreline? Who are these? Well, for a start, they are defined as those who did NOT receive the PROMISES! Who then did not receive the promises but died before they could be delivered? The answer is FOUR GENERATIONS OF ISRAELITES! We pick up in Genesis 15:13-16 with Abraham about to RATIFY the Covenant of PROMISE with blood.
13 "And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years;
14 And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance.
15 And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age.
16 But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, his twelve sons, and FOUR generations of Israelites, SEED OF ABRAHAM, died before they could receive the PROMISED LAND! The fourth generation was numbered at about 2 million, with 600,000 men of war above 20 years of age. This is the "ALL" of Hebrews 11:13. Neither Abel, Enoch or Noah received a Covenant of Promise for a PLACE, a LAND with borders, an INHERITANCE. Abel, Enoch and Noah CANNOT be included in the "ALL" of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and four generations of his SEED. They were NOT part of the Covenant of Promise. God made it with Abraham's SEED, not Adam's seed.
The Bible states that Enoch did NOT see death. There is, after this, no record of his death. It should be our pleasure to BELIEVE God's Word and not expend all our energy trying to invalidate it.
Thanks for the exchange brother. Go well.
