Genesis 15:7-21

In Genesis 15:7-21 God gives Abram a vision foreshadowing the future redemption of the Exodus to give Abram confidence about the promises of God. God does this as an act of grace that he might be encouraged in the midst of the trials of life. Though these kinds of visions are not given today, God still acts to give His people confidence in the promises He has made. The prophecies of the OT still function this way, giving us confidence that the redemption accomplished through Christ will culminate in the New Creation.
