Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem





Lambs, Sheep, and Shepherds

Genesis 22

Abraham Tested

22 Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”

“Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.

“The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”

8 Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.

9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

12 “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”

13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram[a] caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”

15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring[b] all nations on earth will be blessed,[c] because you have obeyed me.”

19 Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba.

Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem






This pivotal Passage in Genesis has profoundly disturbed both Christians and Jews for centuries. Why would God ask such a thing of Abraham? Wasn't God totally against the horrible practice of human sacrifice? What must have been going through Abraham's mind as they walked up that mountain?

The verse that pops out is this one:

“God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”

That is what Abraham BELIEVED. He had Faith in God, and that God is GOOD.

And that was credited to him as Righteousness.

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.

"He was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." (Romans 4:25)

God Bless America!

When the money from the many Arab countries stops flowing to the palis, hamm-ass, hezbulla, then and only then will they come to the realization that they either make peace or all palis will die {and Israel will live and prosper}.

Then there will be true peace {or at least as much as you can get from a mooselimb, but you know my views on them}.

Well, yes, of course. This has been going on for over 5000 years, but God tells us to pray, so we pray. (Psalm 126)

Peace be unto YOU! :-)

“God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.”
That is what Abraham BELIEVED. He had Faith in God, and that God is GOOD.
And that was credited to him as Righteousness.

Abraham added reason:

Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death. Hebrews 11:19

“Reason” Yes...because a GOOD God would have either stayed Abraham’s hand (which He did) or raise Isaac from the dead (which would have even been more of a foreshadowing of calvary!)
