Abraham Gathered to His People

The life of Abraham in the flesh came to an end, but his legacy continued through his son Isaac. The covenant promises from GOD, he finished in right-standing with them. Therefore, for all his righteous seed after him, they will inherit all the promises, thanks to Abraham their father.

Genesis 25:7-11 KJV

[7] And these are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived, an hundred threescore and fifteen years. [8] Then Abraham gave up the ghost, and died in a good old age, an old man, and full of years ; and was gathered to his people.

[9] And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before Mamre; [10] The field which Abraham purchased of the sons of Heth: there was Abraham buried, and Sarah his wife.

[11] And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahai-roi.
