The Gospel

The Gospel was preached to Abraham by the Scripture before it was manifest in the coming of Messia. This Gospel was quite simple. Thw Scripture said to Abraham in your seed all the nation of the earth would be blessed! The word for seed in Hebrew is זרע . The word for your seed I imagine is זרעך This is because ך is a suffix used in Hebrew at the end of nouns to make the noun personal. The word for in in Hebrew is often expressed by the letter bet ב in Hebrew. So I imagine Yahuah said בזרעך to express the thought in your seed. The word for nations in Hebrew is a masculine plural noun גוים This word is made up of two parts, the noun meaning nation גוי and the suffix making indicating is it is a plural noun ים . Thus usually that might turn into גויים . The root letters for bless in Hebrew is  ברך . However I imagine the Scripture was teachng in the future tense and referring to all nations. So to make the the root future we will place a prefix on it. This prefix in this case would the letter yod י . Thus the hebrew "He will bless" would be read יברך . But Yahuah said all the nations so we would need a suffix to turn the third person singular to third person plural like so יברכו . You will notice the shape of the letter kaph changed from ך the shape it takes at the end of a word to כ the shape it takes in the middle of the word. This kind of change of letter shapes takes place in Arabic and Greek too. Thus יברכו they will bless. But the Scripture probably says they will BE blessed which means we probably need a passive use of the word bless not the active you. The nations will be blessed in the seed of Abraham. This is the gospel preach ahead of time. To turned the word to passive we need to change from the simple active verb system called paal פעל to the simple passive system called niphal נפעל . This means in the future tense or in Biblical Hebrew terms the Imperfect aspect referring to an action yet to be completed we add a yod to the suffix, ייברכו . Thus the whole phrase might read בזרעך כל גויי הארץ ייברכו . In your seed will all the nation of the earth be blessed. As you will have worked our kol כל means all and eretz ארץ means earth. Yahuah be with you all in the blessing of Abraham. Watch out for the kerygma actually preached to apply  this blessing. Yahuah be with you.
