(2) The end of the whole was, that [Greek or Hebrew]; compos factus est 1Promissionis; obtinuit Promissionem; He obtained or enjoyed the Promise. Sundry Expositors refer this obtaining of the Promise to the Birth of Isaac, a Son by Sarah, which he so long waited for and at length enjoyed; for this was the principal Hinge whereon all other privileges of the Promises did depend. But Isaac was upwards of 20 years old, at that time when the Promise was confirmed by the Oath of God, which the Apostle hath respect unto. It cannot therefore be that his Birth should be the thing promised. Besides he twice informs us, chap. 11. ver. 13, 19. that the Ancient Patriarchs among whom he reckoneth Abraham as one, received not the Promises. That which he there intends is their full Accomplishment in the actual exhibition of the promised Seed. It is not therefore a full actual enjoyment of the thing promised that is here intended, as it would be, if it respected only the Birth of Isaac. Wherefore Abraham's obtaining the Promise was no more but his enjoyment of the Mercy, Benefit, and Privilege of it, in every state and condition, whereof in that state and condition he was capable.
