God Chose Abram for Unknown Reason

God did not bother to explain to us why He chose Abram to make him patriarch of Jewish nation and of three monotheistic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) and the founder of the special relationship between God and the Jews.

All we know that one day, completely out of the blue,

“… the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation…” (Genesis 12: 1-2, Didache Bible)

Abram obliged (did he have a choice???) … and the rest is history. I personally believe (as it is God’s Standard Operating Procedure) that God specifically created (and groomed) Abram for this very purpose.

However, before He could make Abram patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (three monotheistic religions), He had to convert the latter from religion that Abram (like everyone else in that land) was worshipping.

Cult of Baal. Moloch. The Devil.
