• 2:15

• 2:53
  with Jesus Christ, the only sufficient sacrifice, Lord, I
• 2:58
  pray against false religion, Lord, I pray against false

  I pray against the spirit God of the Antichrist in our lives,
• 3:09
  God, form a hedge of protection around our houses, around our
• 3:13
  families, Lord, heal our bodies, Lord.
• 3:15
  I pray that you'll remove cancer, that you'll remove

• 3:24
  Reverse diabetes, reverse heart disease, reverse Alzheimer's and
• 3:28
  dementia, Reverse all of the ailments, Father of your people
• 3:32
  who are called by your name that will inherit eternal life.
• 3:36
  I pray God for sound mind and a sound body.
• 3:39
  Lord, I pray that we'll charge the hill and take the whole word
• 3:43
  to the whole world. It's all about Yeshua.
• 3:45
  It's always been about Yeshua. Hide me, hide my words, hide my
• 3:50
  thoughts. I decrease as you increase the
• 3:53
  spirit and the bride say come, Maranatha, come.
• 3:57
  And it's in Jesus Christ, holy and precious, powerful name that
• 4:00
  I pray. Amen.
• 4:05
  Well, let's start in verse one. And it came to pass after these
• 4:10
  things that God did tempt Abraham and said unto him,
• 4:15
  Abraham, and he said, Behold, here I am.
• 4:19
  That's our response. Behold, here I am, Lord, send me
• 4:25
  God, touch my lips, touch my tongue with the coal from the
• 4:30
  altar. Cleanse us.
• 4:32
  We are a people of unclean lips. Cleanse us here I am send me and
• 4:38
  Abraham, the father of faith, look at how he exudes this faith
• 4:43
  and he says yes, Lord, I am listening.
• 4:46
  What is it that you want? And God does not tempt us to see
• 4:51
  what we will do. God is developing the character
• 4:54
  within us, this sanctification process.
• 4:58
  And that is what's about to happen with Abraham verse 2.
• 5:03
  And he said, take now your son, your only son, Isaac, whom you
• 5:08
  love, and get you into the land of Moriah, and offer him there
• 5:13
  for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains, which I will show
• 5:18
  you of. He's going to lead him into
• 5:19
  Jerusalem. This is his only begotten son.
• 5:23
  Look at how this is a mirror and a model of what Jesus Christ
• 5:27
  will do. And we know from the story how
• 5:30
  it ends. And we're going to see the faith
• 5:33
  of Abraham expand. We're going to see this
• 5:36
  teenager, Isaac go willfully, just like Jesus did with the
• 5:40
  Father. And you're going to see so many
• 5:43
  different types and shadows here in this chapter.
• 5:47
  Let's keep moving, Three. And Abraham rose up early in the
• 5:52
  morning and saddled his donkey and the two of his young men
• 5:55
  with him, and Isaac his son, And he claved the wood for the burnt
• 5:59
  offering, and rose up and went into the place of which God had
• 6:03
  told him. So here you can see this old man
• 6:05
  out splitting wood. He's gathering all the materials
• 6:09
  together and it is when when he journeys, when he goes and he
• 6:14
  barks on this journey, it is as if Isaac is already dead.
• 6:19
  It's going to be a three day journey.
• 6:21
  And this is synonymous with Christ as he goes into the
• 6:25
  sepulchre, as he goes into Joseph of Arimathea's tomb and
• 6:30
  he's dead for three days and he rises on the third.
• 6:33
  This is going to be synonymous with that.
• 6:36
  If you'll just lock in and look at all the parallels here, it is
• 6:40
  undeniable what God was after in this.
• 6:43
  And God never asked for child's sacrifice.
• 6:45
  He's not that kind of God. And here he is stretching
• 6:50
  Abraham's faith to see so that Abraham will see that he is
• 6:55
  faithful even though he's failed many times.
• 6:59
  All of those failures throughout all of that time has led to this
• 7:03
  development here that you're finding out in this 22nd chapter
• 7:08
  of Genesis. For on the third day Abraham
• 7:12
  lifted up his eyes, and he saw the place far off five.
• 7:17
  And Abraham said to his young men, Abide here with the donkey,
• 7:24
  I, and the lad will go Yonder and worship and come again to
• 7:28
  you. Abraham, we learn in the book of
• 7:31
  Hebrews, the writer of Hebrews tells us that Abraham reckoned
• 7:35
  within his own mind that God could raise Isaac from the dead.
• 7:40
  He could even put him back together from the ashes if he
• 7:44
  was to go through with the killing of Isaac.
• 7:47
  And if he was go through with the complete burning of Isaac,
• 7:51
  that God could raise him from the dead and he could put him
• 7:54
  back together from the ashes. And here you could see the faith
• 7:57
  of Abraham. He knows that the promises of
• 8:01
  God are not going to come through Ishmael.
• 8:03
  They were not going to come through his nephew Lot, and they
• 8:06
  were not going to come through another child that they must
• 8:09
  come through Isaac. So he's operating within the
• 8:12
  faith. He's remembering what God said,
• 8:15
  and he tells his young men here, stay here, and we will come back
• 8:19
  to you, the both of us. 6 And Abraham took the wood of the
• 8:24
  burnt offering and laid it upon Isaac's son, and took the fire
• 8:28
  in his hand and a knife, and they both went to them together.
• 8:33
  So willingly Isaac goes and look at how Isaac's carrying the
• 8:37
  wood. Is this not synonymous of Jesus
• 8:40
  Christ carrying the cross? And you can see he has the fire
• 8:45
  and the knife together. Friends, what an amazing thought
• 8:49
  this is of looking at how God is all in this and He's writing
• 8:54
  this masterpiece. He is painting a masterpiece,
• 8:58
  friends, all pointing and culminating at the cross of
• 9:02
  Christ at this exact geographical location on planet
• 9:06
  earth. You can see that God knows
• 9:09
  everything, the beginning from the end, and He's inviting
• 9:12
  Abraham and He's inviting Isaac into the greater story of Christ
• 9:18
  and what Christ will do at that exact place later on. 7 And
• 9:27
  Isaac spoke to Abraham his father, and said, My father,
• 9:32
  here I am, my son. And he said, behold the fire and
• 9:36
  the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
• 9:42
  So here Isaac is wondering. He's starting to figure things
• 9:48
  out. He sees it all.
• 9:50
  He has seen this before play out.
• 9:53
  And usually there would be a lamb there, but we know that
• 9:57
  Jesus Christ is the Lamb of God that is slain to take away the
• 10:03
  sins of the world. And what is Isaac going to or
• 10:06
  what is Abraham going to tell Isaac here?
• 10:10
  8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for
• 10:15
  a burnt offering. So they went, both of them
• 10:17
  together. And is that not what God did?
• 10:20
  He provided us Jesus Christ, the only one found worthy to open
• 10:25
  the scroll. 9 And they came to the place which God had told him
• 10:31
  of, And Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in
• 10:34
  order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon
• 10:39
  the wood. Most scholars and theologians
• 10:43
  will all agree that Isaac was big enough to resist his older
• 10:53
  father here. And you can see that it was a
• 10:59
  willful binding and a willful laying down upon the altar. 10
• 11:07
  And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and he took the knife to
• 11:10
  slay his son, and he reckoned within his own self that God
• 11:14
  could raise him from the dead. 11 And the Angel of the Lord
• 11:24
  called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham.
• 11:28
  And he said, Here I am, So here this voice from heaven speaks
• 11:35
  out. It gets his attention before he
• 11:38
  can put the knife to his son Isaac. 12 And he said, Lay not
• 11:45
  your hand upon the lad, neither do you anything to him.
• 11:52
  For now I know that you fear God, seeing that you have not
• 11:56
  withheld your son, your only son, from me.
• 12:01
  So Abraham was willing to put it all on the line.
• 12:04
  He believed God at his word that everything would culminate
• 12:08
  through Isaac. All the descendants would be
• 12:10
  more numerous than the stars in the sky, more numerous than the
• 12:15
  sand on the seashore. And here you can see that he was
• 12:20
  willing to take God at His word. And if God said it, he was going
• 12:25
  to do it. And that was all that was there.
• 12:29
  13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and beheld
• 12:32
  behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns.
• 12:36
  And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a
• 12:40
  burnt offering in the stead of his son.
• 12:42
  Look at how God provided the sacrifice.
• 12:46
  And He did the same thing for you, and He did the same thing
• 12:49
  for me. If we will lay down all of our
• 12:53
  own wants, desires, and passions, God will provide the
• 12:57
  sacrifice and give us the abundant life and give us
• 13:02
  eternal life and fill all the cracks and crevices in the hole
• 13:06
  in our heart and make us complete.
• 13:08
  And this is what God was after with Abraham.
• 13:12
  He wanted him to know that he could not worship the the
• 13:19
  promise that was given to him in Isaac.
• 13:23
  And it is a fair assessment to say that once Isaac was born,
• 13:31
  Abraham would have started to worship the promise and worship
• 13:39
  what God had given him. And here God is saying, do not
• 13:44
  take your eyes off of me and put them on Isaac.
• 13:47
  That is nowhere that Isaac has any place to be.
• 13:52
  And so we need to make sure that we do not try to manufacture
• 13:56
  God's promises. We wait on the Lord when God
• 14:00
  promises something to us, and especially in light of eternity,
• 14:06
  especially in light of our eternal destination, we do not
• 14:11
  need to forget about God. We do not need to take our eyes
• 14:14
  off of God. It is not just this once saved,
• 14:18
  always saved, and once you get dunked in water, you pray a
• 14:21
  prayer and walk an aisle, then you're good to go and you can
• 14:24
  live life however you want. It does not work that way.
• 14:27
  We must keep our eyes steadfast on the Lord so that when we get
• 14:32
  there, he will not say depart from me, for I never knew you.
• 14:36
  It is staying lockstep with our Lord.
• 14:38
  It's staying in tune with our Lord.
• 14:41
  His sheep hear his voice. And this is where Abraham is at.
• 14:45
  He's following lockstep with God Almighty.
• 14:48
  And when God says move, he moves.
• 14:50
  And when God says stop, he stops. 14 And Abraham called the
• 15:00
  name of that place Jehovah Jireh, as it is said today in
• 15:04
  the mount of the Lord, it shall be seen.
• 15:07
  So here. God is our provider.
• 15:10
  He provided Jesus Christ as a substitution for all of our
• 15:16
  sins. He traded all of our sins for
• 15:19
  his righteousness, and he is our provider. 15 The Angel of the
• 15:24
  Lord called to Abraham out of heaven the second time, and said
• 15:28
  by myself, have I sworn, says the Lord, Because you have done
• 15:33
  this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only
• 15:36
  son. 17 In that in blessing I will bless you, and in
• 15:40
  multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven and
• 15:45
  as the sand which is upon the seashore, and this and your seed
• 15:50
  shall possess the gate of his enemies.
• 15:54
  Look at this promise from God. He's promising that through
• 15:57
  Isaac, when we worship the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
• 16:01
  and through Abraham's son of promise, the son of the
• 16:06
  covenant, all the nations of the earth will be blessed. 18 And in
• 16:13
  your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.
• 16:17
  Because you have obeyed my voice, Are you obeying God's
• 16:21
  voice? I pray that you are.
• 16:25
  I pray that it is not just some genie in the bottle that you rub
• 16:29
  the right way to get whatever you want from Him.
• 16:32
  I pray that this life is not unto yourself of all the things
• 16:35
  that you want. I pray that God is God in your
• 16:39
  life, the great I am. I pray that He is actually able
• 16:44
  to come in and wreck your theology and doctrine, direct
• 16:48
  all of your bylaws, and that you are hyper fixated upon His face
• 16:54
  with His eyes like fire and hair like wool, the voice of the many
• 16:57
  multitudes as you sit in His presence and workout your
• 17:02
  salvation with fear and trembling before a mighty God.
• 17:06
  I pray that that is your story. I pray that He is not just your
• 17:11
  buddy, your pal, your friend, your guy.
• 17:13
  I pray that he is Lord over your life.
• 17:16
  I pray that you see Him rightly in all of His glory and His
• 17:22
  Majesty. That is where we must get to,
• 17:26
  friends. 19 And Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose
• 17:34
  up and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham dwelt at
• 17:39
  Beersheba. So look at how Isaac came back
• 17:42
  with his daddy. And we know that Jesus Christ
• 17:46
  rose from the dead and ascended to the right hand of the Father.
• 17:52
  20 And it came to pass after these things that it was told
• 17:55
  Abraham, saying, Behold, Milka, she has also born children unto
• 18:01
  your brother Nahor. 21 Huss his first born, and Buzz his
• 18:07
  brother, and communal the father of Abram. 22 at Chestnut and
• 18:12
  Huss, and Phil Dash jidlop in Bethuwel. 23 And Bethuwel had
• 18:20
  Rebecca these 8. Milka did bear to Nehor,
• 18:24
  Abraham's brother. We'll end on 24 and it's
• 18:28
  concubine whose name was Rima Shibor, also Tiba, Gaham, Tahash
• 18:35
  and Maka. So here, just as we end this
• 18:41
  wonderful, amazing chapter, we get to see a genealogy and we're
• 18:45
  going to see the future wife of his son, Isaac.
• 18:51
  It's Rebecca. And it's going to be an amazing
• 18:54
  story that we're going to get to journey through together.
• 18:59
  But just know that there is a rich tapestry here in this
• 19:02
  genealogy. And we could trace all these
• 19:04
  names back to whenever Abraham was called out of the land of
• 19:08
  the earth, the Chaldees, and he lost his brother, and then his
• 19:12
  dad mourned and they stayed in that place.
• 19:14
  And you can see how God made everything wonderful.
• 19:19
  And he's going to weave these two families together, his
• 19:25
  brothers, daughter, and then also his son.
• 19:28
  And they're all going to culminate in the family of God
• 19:32
  that we are attached to. Isn't our God so incredibly rich
• 19:38
  and how he does things? I hope you've been blessed by
• 19:40
  this amazing chapter in God's Word.
• 19:43
  I know I sure have. I'm looking forward to
• 19:45
  continuing this journey with you.
• 19:47
  I'm glad you're here. Keep the faith.
• 19:52
  If you get to a place in the reading where you do not
• 19:55
  understand it, just keep pressing.
• 20:00
  I love you, God loves you. We'll see you back here
• 20:03
  tomorrow. God bless you.
