Abraham and Isaac


Look at Genesis 22
Abraham and Isaac

Note the Parallels with Isaac and Jesus

Isaac carries the Wood - Jesus carrying the cross

Isaac laid on the wood on the altar - Jesus on the cross

Abraham says that God will provide the Lamb.
But Abraham offers a Ram - Not a Lamb.
Notice that it was a RAM, Not a Lamb, offered by Abraham.

This was a messianic prophecy / promise :
God will provide the Lamb,
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God

Genesis 22


Abraham rose in the morning and saddled his Donkey,
and took Isaac his son.

> Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a Donkey


Then on the Third day,
Abraham took the Wood of the burnt offering
and Laid it on his son Isaac.

> The Abraham the father laid the Wood on this son Isaac
> Jesus carried the wood cross


Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said:
My father!
Look, the fire and the Wood,
but where is the Lamb for a burnt offering?

And Abraham said:
My son,
God will provide for Himself the Lamb
for a burnt offering.

> God will provide the Lamb = Jesus


Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order,
and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the Wood.

But the Angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said,
Abraham, Abraham!”
Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”

Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a Ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the Ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

> Abraham offered a RAM - Not a Lamb

Abraham called the name of the place,
The-Lord-Will-Provide,
as it is said to this day,
In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided.”
