In chapter 15 God says to Abraham (when he was still known as Abram): “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” (Gen. 15:5) God then told Abraham to make a sacrifice. He did so, and God told him of a karma that would come upon his seed which was a prophecy of the captivity of the twelve tribes in Egypt. | In chapter 15 God says to Abraham (when he was still known as Abram): “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.” (Gen. 15:5) God then told Abraham to make a sacrifice.

Sanat Kumara chose Abraham to be the father of the Israelites, to be the one who would receive in his old age, through Sarah, the son Isaac. Isaac would then have the son Jacob; Jacob would give birth to twelve sons, who would become the progenitors of the twelve tribes. Thus, Abraham is the great patriarch of the lightbearers, chosen to bear the seed of [[Alpha]]. These souls came with a specific mission to be a witness unto the true God in the midst of idolatry, in the midst of the great darkness of the Middle East, such as that seen at Sodom and Gomorrah. They came to illustrate the blessedness of serving God, to receive and preserve the prophecy and the revelations, and above all, to be the channel through whom the Messiah would be born. | Sanat Kumara chose Abraham to be the father of the Israelites, to be the one who would receive in his old age, through Sarah, the son Isaac.
