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 have noticed a similarity between this occasion and what God does via His personal Son in the New Testament. In both events a father is offering up his only son as a sacrifice for other individuals. Casually studying the Genesis account you may have believed that the stories quit becoming comparable when God spares Isaac, right after-all Jesus did enable 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 finish of the event

Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off collectively for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba. (Gen 22:19) (NIV)

Wheres Isaac? Certainly he was there, where else would he go? So if he was there why was he not mentioned? He was talked about as they were going up the mountain, so whats distinct now?

In fact we are not told what Isaac is doing following this occasion for two entire chapters. Lets see what he is carrying out the next 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 particular 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 identified for him. Now, this is quite subtle but this precisely what is occurring proper now. Jesus has left earth, His Fathers servant (the Holy Spirit) is retrieving His bride, and we will not see Him yet again until He receives us as His bride.

Have you received Jesus in your heart as your Lord? [http://www.youbarcelona.com/es/sutton-lista quality lista sutton] [http://www.youbarcelona.com/es/club/soho-barcelona web address] [http://www.youbarcelona.com/es/ check this out]
