CHRIST IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT

Before Bethlehem, Jesus intervened often in this world. This series presents some of those occasions, along with “types” of Christ: people and objects who represent Him and His qualities.

ABRAHAM’S SACRIFICE OF HIS ONLY SON, ISAAC—A Type of Christ

GENESIS 22

God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

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

Knew this would be a great series of paintings, so many excellent works! Hard to even pick favorites but i like 9-10-11

Also gotta hand it to Gustave dore as that type of art is so tedious, but he excelled at it.

Love the look on Abraham’s face in 20.

Lots of excellent artistic work by artists I hadn’t seen before too.

[No name given]

Thank you very much for posting these beautiful works of art and may God bless and keep you for doing so!

[Hebrews 11:6]

You’re a true appreciate-or, Bob.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Thanks again’.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

I love Tissot and von Reutern, but I think 44, showing Isaac as an adult is thought-provoking (if not exactly accurate) in that it really brings out the connection that Isaac of the first covenant is foreshadowing Christ of the final covenant. For that reason alone it is both unique and remarkable.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

It also apparently brings out run-on sentences…

[Big Red Badger]

Fascinating!
.
We don’t read of Isaac again until
He is in pursuit of ‘His Bride!’
.
Coincidence,,,?
I think Not.

[Hebrews 11:6]

44, showing Isaac as an adult is thought-provoking

The thought it provokes in me is it argues that Isaac, like Christ, went willingly onto that altar.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good point!

[SisterK]

#6 Tissot
Isaac bears wood for his sacrifice...even as Jesus carried His wooden cross.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Profound observation: profoundly true, and profoundly puzzling why I’ve never heard of nor thought of this intentional correlation.

Thank you exceedingly, SisterK. I am in your debt.

[SisterK]

I am in your debt.

LOL
hardly!

you are providing a great service and blessing to us

[Hebrews 11:6]

I meant what I said. The Holy Spirit was able to speak through you because you allowed Him to. You are the Lord’s handmaiden.
