The Promise made to Abraham’s Seed … God commanded Abraham to leave Ur with his father and head for Haran which is located in northwestern Mesopotamia. In Abraham’s day Haran was a major caravan city serving as a resting point for traders coming from the north on their way to Palmyra, about 110 miles to the south of Haran. Abraham and family had already traveled through the God-forsaken city of Palmyra which housed the Temple of Bel, the patron god of Babylon.

Today in the 21st century, God is still calling His people out from amongst the unbelievers. God’s true followers believe there is only One referred to as His seed and that’s none other than Christ Jesus. Our question today is why the Mormon Church teaches God had two sons He had to choose from to be the Savior. One is Jesus and the other is Lucifer.
