Genesis 22 :1-8 (Amplified Bible)
The continuation of Prayer and conversation between God and Abraham, in Chapter 22 This chapter has so much to say and so much to show us on Abrahams side, on Isaacs side and in every tiny detail that we would need a book to cover all that is in this chapter of the bible. To get to the main points of this chapter we are to look at what God is asking for and it is that He (God) wants all of us. not just a part of us. He wants to be able to provide for us in the midst of what we know and what we don’t. He wants our trust factor. We see that in this story.
Bible History tells fills in the blanks to help us understand more of this story. The area and times that this took place there were false religions that sacrifice their children to the anger and fire gods. The age of these children as sacrifices as children were infants. This was done as a fire sacrifice which later became the god of Baal. However this story is not about an infant. The story of Isaac that takes place at the age between the age of 21 years 30 of age. He is not yet married and doesn’t have his own family yet. Isaac is a major part of the family and is very much his fathers son. and is a Jewish son at that who bevels and follows his father and does what his father asks out of respect and out of much love and honor.
Genesis 22 (Amplified Bible)
1AFTER THESE events, God tested and proved Abraham and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here I am.
2[God] said, Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the region of Moriah; and offer him there as a burnt offering upon one of the mountains of which I will tell you.
I am into looking things up and giving information that give meaning to names of places and possible meaning of places by name. this page of information comes from the Jewish encyclopedia http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/vi...&search=Moriah
God spoke to Abraham in a moment of Prayer. God gave instruction. To leave the place you are in now and go to a place where I tell you. Take your son to the Mountain in which I tell you.
3So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and then began the trip to the place of which God had told him. 4On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.
This is a camping trip for sacrifice. Abraham took 2 servants and his son with him and a donkey to take supplies and firewood for the sacrifice. This trip is beginning to look a lot like to passion story in the new testament in its timing.
5And Abraham said to his servants, Settle down and stay here with the donkey, and I and the young man will go yonder and worship and [a]come again to you. 6Then Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on [the shoulders of ] Isaac his son, and he took the fire (the firepot) in his own hand, and a knife; and the two of them went on together. 7And Isaac said to Abraham, My father! And he said, Here I am, my son. [Isaac] said, See, here are the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt sacrifice? 8Abraham said, My son, God Himself will provide a lamb for the burnt offering. So the two went on together.
This section of scripture has so many applications. The servants were told to make a base camp and wait. While Abraham and Isaac went to worship and returning to the base camp. In vs. 6 the scripture says that Abraham took the firewood and placed it on the shoulders of Isaac and the firepot in his hands and the rope and knife Abraham carried and up the trail they went to worship. This is also a picture of Christ carrying the cross through the streets of Jerusalem. Vs 7 is a question of a child like faith coming from a grown man . a Jewish man in deep respect for his father. Following his leadership and imitating his faith. As we have seen parent child relationships between lots wife not being here for her daughters because of her sin of looking back. Abraham is here for his son in the midst of trusting God for provision.
I am going to stop here .. we sill pic this up again next time
