Gen 22:1-2, Now it came to pass after these things that GOD TESTED ABRAHAM, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “TAKE NOW YOUR SON, YOUR ONLY SON ISAAC, WHOM YOU LOVE, and go to the land of Moriah, and OFFER HIM THERE AS A BURNT OFFERING on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
Other, so called gods, required human sacrifice to please them YET, our LORD provided HIMSELF!
Gen 22:8, And Abraham said, “MY SON, GOD WILL
PROVIDE for HIMSELF THE LAMB FOR A BURNT OFFERING.” So the two of
them went together.
In the KJV the word “For” is not used! So what we are seeing here is the FATHER TALKING about HIS Son. “MY SON, GOD, WILL PROVIDE HIMSELF THE LAMB FOR A BURNT OFFERING!
The Father called HIS Son God! Just like
Heb 1:8, But to the Son He says: “YOUR THRONE, O GOD, IS FOREVER AND EVER; A SCEPTER OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS THE SCEPTER OF YOUR KINGDOM.
BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD! FULL OF MERCY & GRACE! WHO GAVE ALL THAT HE HAD FOR HIS BRIDE! HE WILL RETURN FOR HER, FOR ALL THOSE WHO PUT THEIR FAITH IN HIM! BE READY FOR HIS RETURN IS NEAR! BE READY!
