Lord’s Promise – Base Art – Rare Hebrew Event – AlephTau Set – Bible TCG

A Star-Lit Covenant Written in the Heavens

Lord’s Promise is a Rare Event from the Hebrew Age, costing 3 faith and allowing you to draw two verses. This card offers powerful resource generation and is a perfect fit for control and combo decks, providing key assistance at mid-game tempo swings.

Look Up: God’s Covenant Pictured in the Stars

In a quiet night under a sky full of stars, God led Abram outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them…” – Genesis 15:5. While Abram gazed at the countless celestial stars, God painted a picture, a story in the heavens, that told of a future blessing extending far beyond one lifetime.

Those stars tell a grand design, the coming of the Messiah and the unfolding of redemption through Abram’s seed. The constellations weren’t random, they are markers of divine hope, each shining point echoing a step in the unfolding gospel. God told Abram: “So shall thy seed be.” It was a promise, a preview of God’s purpose. From one father would come many nations, all lighted by the grace of the coming Savior.

This card's verse is Genesis 15:5:

"And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be."

God spoke not only promising words, but He ensured what He spoke. Abram believed, and his faith was counted as righteousness. This moment paints a portrait of faith anchored not in sight but in God’s sure word. The stars numbered themselves, and Abram’s descendants would too, but his seed was far greater than any earthly nation. The promise reached to include believers from every tribe on earth.

Covenant Fulfilled in the One and Only

Jesus Christ is the perfect culmination of that heavenly promise. He is the Son who was promised in the stars, the seed through whom many nations are born, not through the flesh, but by the Spirit. Galatians 3:16 clarifies, “To Abraham and his seed were the promises made… and to thy seed, which is Christ.” In Jesus, the uncountable stars finally aligned, shining with fulfillment and faithfulness.

Through faith in Him, believers become part of Abram’s legacy. The promise extends to us, you and I, children of the covenant, heirs of hope, seated with Christ in heavenly places. This inheritance isn’t earned or inherited by lineage, it’s received by faith in the blood, counted by God for everyone who believes. The covenant is made real by Jesus, for Jesus, and through Jesus.

Believer, whenever you feel your resources running low, remember: God’s promise is as vast as the stars. His word is bountiful, your inheritance is secure, and the grace that began in Genesis carries you home. Heaven’s story continues now in you, so look up, draw from His Word, and rest in the fullness of His covenant.
