“The Thigh Witness”
Everything we do in time has eternal consequences.
Therefore God has purposed for man to know
within himself the purpose of God’s will. The thigh
witness is God’s purpose personified.
Genesis 24:1-4
• Genesis 24:1-4 (KJV)
1 And Abraham was old, and well stricken in age:
and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his
house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray
thee, thy hand under my thigh:
3 And I will make thee swear by the LORD, the
God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that
thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the
daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I
dwell:
4 But thou shalt go unto my country, and to my
kindred, and take a wife unto my son Isaac.
