It just occurred to me that if indeed Abraham was offering his son for the world and including himself ..this shows the kind of man Abraham was....a man willing to give his only son....as a sin offering for the world sins...that is beautiful....
And he had faith that hashem would raise him from the dead...so that the promise that his seed would still be fulfilled in Isaac had he been sacrifice....
Yet God chose a ram instead that day....for the seed who would bless all nations would come not from Isaac but yahshua...who died for the worlds sins
Thank you for your reply peace
Yes indeed, and we who are counted as his seed do good to also believe in the resurrection from the dead;
Yet, who was the male Lamb caught in the עבד thicket but The Leader of the Flock himself Abvraham the first born representing every nation;
Abvraham was guilty of righteousness once he imagined himself performing the act of trust and compliance, so there was never a need for Issac to be sacraficed, yet what he was willi.g to do to the Ram who was not his own, was him doing unto another leader of the flock, and thus both the Ram and Abvraham were both dispatched, yet abvraham was as the escape goat, he was the Ram wandering in the wilderness seeking the life of one who was otherwise as good as dead;
If a man had 100 sheep... (how old was Abvraham when he had begotten Isaac?) and one of them were to go astray, who would not leave the 99 sheep... (how old was Sarah when gave birth to Isaac?), and go and seek that which was lost? (How old do you suppose Isaac was when he was prepared to be a living (not dead) sacrifce?)
Perhaps we should digress and consider how the Ressurection plays a role in the title of the Main topic of this thread, for I say, If we be in the Last days when the Resurrection is to occur, then it is going to require Faith, that you (the individual) are actually a Resurrected being;
There are three remarkable things about the 144,000
1) They overcome the Mark-Stigma of the Beast that is not a Beast aka Satan
2) They are Virgins, but what does that mean? The scriptures (not a dictionary persé) define a Virgin as one who is a woman (flesh & bone) that has not Known a Man, think about it for a minute and let that sink in, for to me this means one must be in the flesh, yet recognize no one as being a Carnal man, but as Elohym-Divine beings, though some be fallen...asleep...and walk the earth as the living dead:
3) They are the only ones who not only recognize his voice, and receive him and have become Elohym-Children of the Most high thereby, they are also those in the Resurection who Come to the wedding when they are called just as Abvraham did when he was called;
Thus they had to believe they were resurrected from the dead:
....just a little joke
