And the first born bare a son, and called his name Moab: the same is the father of the Moabites unto this day./And the younger, she also bare a son, and called his name Benammi: the same is the father of the children of Ammon unto this day.
Before we come to the significance of the expression,'unto this day' we shall take up the matter of calling and election which the Spirit sets out in stark contrast between the seed of Abraham and of Lot. Where faith became second nature for Abraham God sets Isaac as the heir of promise. Their father son relationship was after the heavenly pattern of His holiness. So the generation of Jesus Christ made Jacob special. This explains why Moses demanded of Pharaoh, "And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith theLord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:/And I say unto thee, Let my son go, that he may serve me: and if thou refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay thy son, even thy firstborn." (Exod.4.22-23) God set judgment over Egypt on the basis of his Son, the firstborn. From the case of Esau, we understand that in the will of God it is 'thy seed the heirs of promise made holy by faith. When Jesus cast the nation of Israel into outer darkness their judgment was pronounced. In this context let us consider the 'unto this day' and it established the day of judgment. It also explains the seed of the two daughters of Lot. The nations of Moab and Ammon were marked out. The daughters relied on their own rationale while Abraham relied on the promise of God which is always 'yea' in his Son.
In the book of Jeremiah chapters 48-49 carry judgment over these nations but it does not save the nation of Israel whose lack of faith fills the dot all the way to Zoar.
