God Calls Abram from Idolatry

It was from the midst of this idolatry that God called Abram to go out into a land which he would show him, and he obeyed, and "went out not knowing whither he went." For "the God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran [Haran], and said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall show thee. Then came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, and dwelt in Charran; and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell." Acts 7:2-4.
