See Romans 9:22-29 and Galatians chapter 3 and 4. Especially where it says in Galatians 4, "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise."
And in Romans 9:6-7, it says, "Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called."
So from the beginning all the prophecies ultimately referred to Christ (see Paul in Galatians 3:16), who is the seed, and to those who are in Christ.
This is one of the reasons why it's important to get an accurate translation of the Bible like the KJV. You might miss this if you read inaccurate or poorly-made translations of passages like Genesis 22:17. In the KJV, which accurately translates the Hebrew to English, the Bible makes it clear that the promises were always made to Christ (as the singular "seed"), as He is the one originally in view when the prophecies and unconditional covenant were all made. According to Paul in Galatians and Romans (and the rest of the Bible together), those promises belong to us as the joint-heirs of Jesus Christ. This was predicted in passages like Psalm 22:30-31 and Psalm 102:16-18, Hosea 1:10 and Hosea 2:23, as well as Deuteronomy 18:18-19.
