I agree.

However, it would have been a blessing to hear that any unbroken lineage of people had remained SPIRITUALLY faithful to the Lord.
Unfortunately, they did not.

You can’t help but wonder, though....it would be a blessing for me some future day to look down from my place in that “great cloud of witnesses” who’ve crossed to the other side to see that my descendants had remained true to the faith of their fathers.

Thank you oh so very much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

I'm confident that Abraham would have preferred his descendants remain Spiritually faithful to the Lord.

But our perspective is different in His presence. So when you weigh anchor from this mortal realm and go home to that great cloud of witnesses, I am confident you will see everything the same way Abraham does now:

Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. - John 8:56-58
