How can anyone compare Yahweh of the Hebrew Bible who was opposed to sacrificing offspring/children

Here in Genesis 22:1-2 is the template for what would happen with Jesus...yet Jesus was't commanded to do anything...he did it of His own free will...in that way, He was in the role of both Abraham and Isaac (He was the offerer and the sacrifice)...

"1": 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. "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.

Another point that has been made by both Hebrew and Christian scholars is that Isaac bored the wood (to be used in the burnt sacrifice) on his own shoulders just as Jesus bore the wooden cross.

Sounds a lot like those that support Nostradamus. After the fact they see all these things that fit!
