Uni-verse 221/10,000 For better through verse Isaiah 61 v 9
Isa 61:9 And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD hath blessed.

Jesus is the way of truth and life and we are each a signboard pointing to people around that this is the way to take. A signboard has a narrow pointed front portion- this denotes the suffering in our lives that the Lord allows and uses to shape us up. The major part of a signboard is flat on which the name of the way is written. This portion denotes the abundance of blessings in our lives. Every believer's testimony or life story has two portions - suffering and then, how out of the suffering the Lord delivered and blessed.

Abraham believed Jehovah and his belief was taken as obedience and he was greatly blessed. His suffering was the fact that he had no offspring. When a son was born to him and Sarah, he became known among the Gentiles as a man whom the Lord had blessed abundantly. His son Isaac was similarly blessed. Isaac's son Jacob wrestled with the angel of the Lord and did not let go till he had been blessed. Jacob' s son Joseph was greatly blessed and everyone acknowledged him as ruler in ancient Egypt. Similarly, we too will be seen as greatly blessed by our colleagues, peers and contemporaries. Our children and their children will be similarly blessed. For the Lord delights in the prosperity of His servants and is faithful to His promise.

It is only God who can see and know of things that will happen beyond not just one generation but in all of posterity. This uni-verse contains the amazing promise that not only are we blessed like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph but our posterity or future generations will be blessed and all will see how much they have been blessed and acknowledge that the Lord had blessed them.
