God Starts Over: Abraham, an Idol Maker’s Son
The garden. The flood. The tower. Three times humanity rebelled, and three times the story fell apart. So God starts over. Not with a nation, not with an army, but with one man from a city that worshiped the moon.
Three of the world’s great faiths trace their story back to Abraham. Jews call him father. Christians call him the father of faith. Muslims call him Khalil Allah, the friend of God. But who was he before God called him?
In Episode 24 of Into the Gap, we meet Abram before he was Abraham. We walk through Ur of the Chaldeans, one of the great cities of the ancient world, with its giant temple tower and its moon god. We follow his family to Harran, where they stopped halfway. And we read Joshua 24:2, where the Bible tells us something most people miss: Abraham’s family served other gods.
We also explore the famous legends: the boy who smashed his father’s idols, the showdown with King Nimrod, and the star the king’s astrologers saw the night he was born. These stories are fascinating, but they aren’t Scripture, and we’ll show you where they come from.
Here’s the twist. The legends say Abraham found God. The Bible says God found him.
Key passages: Genesis 11:26-32, Genesis 12:1-4, Joshua 24:2-3, Acts 7:2-4, Isaiah 51:1-2, Romans 4:2-5, Hebrews 11:8, Genesis 15:5
