Does Torah foreshow that gentiles will be saved by faith in Jesus? ~ Cross reference of Galatians 3:8 to Genesis 12:3, Genesis 18:18, Genesis 22:18

Paul insists that all the blessings G-d gave Abraham that though him "all nations will be blessed" is a prophecy about Jesus. His point is that through Jesus, all the nations have been blessed. While he is correct that though Abraham all nations will be blessed, his assertion that Jesus is that fulfillment needs to be examined. It is true that the Jews are G=d's special people and through them, G-d will bless the nations with the truth [Torah] when the messianic age commences. There are several passages that describes the messianic age as how Eden was. Jesus never accomplished any of the things that the messiah was supposed to do both for Israel and the world. Most importantly after he came the messianic age did not start. On the contrary the world got worse in the last 2000 years. All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended.

So the true meaning of G-d's promise to Abraham is that though his descendants all the nations will be blessed. The blessing is going to be terrestrial not saving people from sins.
