Genesis 11:28-32
And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
Well, after all that time, not much has changed. It seems very much that God is still in the business of calling life out from the broken places there once again. Abraham started off as one of the founding fathers in general and as one mentioned in the Lord's genealogical record in Matthew, it bears noticing in particular that much for sure. Which one Abraham is we haven't figured out quite yet, and sure he's got a lot of stuff going on in his life. First off, he's nowhere near to where the Lord has called him to be. He's over here in the land of his birth, well the text calls it a nativity really almost as Christ was when he was just a little baby. It sounds funny doesn't it and as such it's more than probably wrong once again. Basically, Ur of the Chaldees was a long way from home and a sight for sore eyes in the end. It's like saying almost that he'd come from a certain Germanic section of countries, you know as the land grew and expanded on northward or outward cause that's where it would've been more than likely without using a boat to travel at first you would find, my friend. Though to come back home as the Lord had called them, they had to go through a narrowest section in particular and it cost them something, more than each one was probably thinking. For Sarah, it was the possiblity of never having children again and for Terah who stopped on the journey near unto Canan it was his own life back then. Thus, it was to go where God wanted Abraham lost all his closest friends and his relatives. Sure, he'd have been better off just to trust in the Lord. I mean, the prime years of his life had just passed as but a mere breath in the wind. At this time, his memory's fading along with whatever was left from the land of his peoples and for most of us, that's rebirth in general. Not that reincarnation is ever an issue in Scripture, just to point out that wherever he leads, you had better follow on after.
