Genesis 22:2 KJV [2] 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.https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.2.KJV
What is a burnt 🔥 offering??? A sign of complete surrender. A giving up of that which is offered without any part of it in usable Form.A burnt offering is all and wholly given to the LORD
Genesis 22:3 KJV [3] 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. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.3.KJV
This man of God… So apt and prompt to do the spirits bidding
Genesis 22:4 KJV [4] Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.4.KJV
Wow.. So this was a three day journey… Then it indeed was a far place. He had a long time to think through his decision
Genesis 22:5 KJV [5] 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. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.5.KJV
Story story ☺… To go worship and come??? He was indeed going to worship 🛐 but… 🙄
Genesis 22:7 KJV [7] 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? https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.7.KJV
Such a heart wrenching question… I can almost see Abraham nearly give up in tears 😭 but kept his face 😔 so he can accomplish this mission
Genesis 22:9 KJV [9] 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. https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.9.KJV
How did he get Isaac on the altar.. Okay so this is how he did it. Somehow he bound him up 👆.Sad 😔, even after how will Isaac ever trust or even relate to his father who listens 👂 to voices that tells him to offer his son.
Genesis 22:15 KJV [15] And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, https://bible.com/bible/1/gen.22.15.KJV
Who was this angel 😇 of the lord because he presumes not only to speak for God but speaks as God.However if this angel was God it would have been plainly stated.But then know ordinary angel 😇 speaks as God.There is no other angel thus who does this
