What is the "it" that Stephen is referring to in Acts 7:5?
The "land" that God promised to Abraham:
Then He said to
him, "I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it" (Acts 7:4,
see Haran).
To what "foreign land" (Acts 7:6) and "nation to whom they will be in
bondage" (Acts 7:7) was God referring?
Egypt, where Abraham's descendants will be oppressed as slaves for four
hundred years before God uses Moses to deliver
them.
When did God tell Abraham about the bondage of his descendants and His deliverance?
Then He said to Abram: "Know certainly that your descendants will
be strangers in a land that is not theirs, and will serve them, and they
will afflict them four hundred years. And also the nation whom they serve I
will judge; afterward they shall come out with great possessions. Now as for
you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good
old age. But in the fourth generation they shall return here, for the
iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete" (Genesis 15:13-16).
"Then you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD: "'Israel is My
son, My firstborn. So I say to you, let My son go that he may serve Me. But
if you refuse to let him go, indeed I will kill your son, your firstborn.'" (Exodus 4:22-23)
With whom did Abraham seal this promise?
With both God the Father and Jesus.
Abraham met Jesus?
