<Are you aware that "nearly" everyone living on earth today has mixed somewhere in their lineage, seed of Abraham? Think about it.
http://scriptures.lds.org/query?words=Genesis+15&scripturesearch_button=SearchWhen we are talking about the Abrahamic covenant we are talking about ourselves. we are the seed that is as numerous as the stars. Abraham was before the tower of Babal, when languages came into existance. This is a subject that reaches out to all. In other words, we have "claim" on the blessings of Abraham "if" we keep the abrahamic covenants. What are they?
