In Genesis God tests Abrahams faith by telling him to supply up his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen 22:1-19). Abraham was faithful and God intervened at the final moment. This is a story most of us are familiar with and you may well have noticed a similarity between this event and what God does through His own Son in the New Testament. In each events a father is offering up his only son as a sacrifice for other people. Casually studying the Genesis account you could have believed that the stories stop being comparable when God spares Isaac, right after-all Jesus did allow Himself to be a sacrifice for us, but the similarities do go on just a bit further. Lets take a close look at Genesis 22:19 which happens at the end of the occasion Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off with each other for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba. (Gen 22:19) (NIV) Wheres Isaac? Obviously he was there, where else would he go? So if he was there why was he not mentioned? He was talked about as they had been going up the mountain, so whats various now? In reality we are not told what Isaac is performing immediately after this event for two entire chapters. Lets see what he is undertaking the subsequent time we are told about him Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in Negev. He went out to the field one day to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac... ...Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and he married Rebekah. (Gen 24:62-64, 67) (NIV) So the subsequent time we see Isaac in the Bible is when he is receiving his bride, which his fathers servant found for him. Now, this is extremely subtle but this specifically what is occurring right now. Jesus has left earth, His Fathers servant (the Holy Spirit) is retrieving His bride, and we will not see Him once again until He receives us as His bride. Have you received Jesus in your heart as your Lord? intangible
