Meditation
The sages say that Messiah himself, Avraham’s greatest seed, will establish and enlarge borders promised to Avraham and his seed (Genesis 15:18; Stone, p. 997, n24). Torah promises that the nation that cleaves to God will inherit the Land. But it will be Messiah who brings the kind of obedience required to appropriate these grand promises.
