What Do You Think Was On Isaac's Mind With His Father About To Slash His Throat? by Nobody: 6:26am On Oct 16, 2018 |
I can't say exactly but i could only imagine how horrifying the experience would've been for him at the time. For it is scary enough to have someone that close to killing you, but when that same person happens to be your blood father who you've known all your life to be very loving and caring towards you, it becomes an entire different thing. Something i believe though is that what transpired on that very occasion would have been very pivotal to his relationship with God later on, as he was an eye witness of all that happened at that moment when he would have taught he'd breathed his last, and then the timely intervention of God to stop his father from carrying it out. And then the sacrifice of the lamb in his place and everything else that took place afterwards, he was a witness to it all with both his eyes and ear. So although it may have been a very horrifying experience at the beginning, turned out an invaluable one to him in the end as he was said to have also walked with the God of his father Abraham. |

"And it came to pass
after these things,
that God did tempt
Abraham, and said
unto him, Abraham:
and he said, Behold, here I am. And he said, Take
now thy son, thine
only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,
and get thee into the
land of Moriah; and
offer him there for a
burnt offering upon
one of the mountains which I will tell thee
of. And Abraham rose
up early in the
morning, and
saddled his ass, and
took two of his
young men with him, and Isaac his son,
and clave the wood
for the burnt offering,
and rose up, and
went unto the place
of which God had told him. Then on the third day
Abraham lifted up his
eyes, and saw the
place afar off. And Abraham said
unto his young men,
Abide ye here with
the ass; and I and
the lad will go yonder
and worship, and come again to you. And Abraham took
the wood of the burnt
offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son;
and he took the fire
in his hand, and a
knife; and they went
both of them
together... |

...And Isaac spake
unto Abraham his
father, and said, My
father: and he said,
Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold
the fire and the
wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt
offering? And Abraham said,
My son, God will
provide himself a
lamb for a burnt
offering: so they
went both of them together. And they came to
the place which God
had told him of; and
Abraham built an
altar there, and laid
the wood in order, and bound Isaac his
son, and laid him on
the altar upon the
wood. And Abraham
stretched forth his
hand, and took the
knife to slay his son. And the angel of the
LORD called unto
him out of heaven,
and said, Abraham,
Abraham: and he
said, Here am I. And he said, Lay not
thine hand upon the
lad, neither do thou
any thing unto him:
for now I know that
thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not
withheld thy son,
thine only son from me... |

...And Abraham lifted
up his eyes, and
looked, and behold
behind him a ram caught in a thicket
by his horns: and
Abraham went and
took the ram, and
offered him up for a
burnt offering in the stead of his son. And Abraham called
the name of that
place Jehovahjireh:
as it is said to this day, In the mount of
the LORD it shall be
seen. And the angel of the
LORD called unto
Abraham out of
heaven the second
time, And said, By myself
have I sworn, saith
the LORD, for
because thou hast
done this thing, and
hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will
bless thee, and in
multiplying I will
multiply thy seed as
the stars of the
heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and
thy seed shall
possess the gate of
his enemies; And in thy seed shall
all the nations of the
earth be blessed;
because thou hast
obeyed my voice." Gen 22:1-18.(KJV). |

Abraham is Faith. Isaac is The(Article). Christ is The-Faith. The two combined. Christ Crucifixion and Resurrection was a complete Replay of Isaac's Relevance to God. Isaac was The Son of Man. Isaac full of Grace(Holy Spirit directly from God) would be saying, "if this Cup could be taken away from me". The Cup was taken away and replaced by The Lamb of God which carried away The Sins of The World. It was The Lamb that John saw at The Temple of Grace in The Revelation. 1 Like |

orisa37:Preach oh preacher...but then if Jesus crucifixion and ressurection was a complete replay of what happened to Isaac, why wasn't the cup also taken away from Jesus? |

jesusjnr:. Jesus was not only Son of Man but as Christ, He is Son of God also. As soon as The Holy Spirit reminded Him of Himself, He surrendered to The Will of God. May The Will of God prevail in The coming 2019 Election. IJN AMEN !!! 1 Like |

orisa37:So in a nutshell you are saying that you agree with me then that it wasn't what happened to Isaac that was the complete replay of Jesus crucifixtion and ressurection but what happened to the lamb. For while Isaac represented mankind the lamb represented Jesus who died in the place of man. |

Seems God can't do without playing some stupid games with he's servant even when he has already arranged and put everything as he pleases, The poor son of Abraham must have suffered alot from the hands of his delusional father |

jesusjnr: Why wouldn't you when you can justify evil acts with religious beliefs |
Re: What Do You Think Was On Isaac's Mind With His Father About To Slash His Throat? by Nobody: 11:19pm On Oct 16, 2018 |
obinna58:Ok now i can see where you are coming and i would still rather suffer the supposed "evil acts" that Isaac passed through and later be in heaven than to be in your "hell fire" bent shoes right now if you don't repent. |

Isaac curiously asked his father where the lamb for the sacrifice was, Abraham his father prophetically even without knowing it, said that God would provide the lamb for the sacrifice. And indeed God did provide the lamb for the sacrifice. |
