Abraham offered his only son (Gen. [[22:2|bible.1.22.2]], [[12|bible.1.22.12]]). | God offered his only Son (John [[3:16|bible.64.3.16]]). |
Isaac carried the wood for the sacrifice (Gen. [[22:5|bible.1.22.5]]). | Jesus carried the cross for the sacrifice (John [[19:17|bible.64.19.17]]). |
Isaac cried out to his father (Gen. [[22:7|bible.1.22.7]]). | Jesus cried out to His Father (Mtt. [[27:46|bible.61.27.46]]; Mark [[15:34|bible.62.15.34]]). |
Isaac escaped death after three days (Gen. [[22:4|bible.1.22.4]]). | Jesus rose from the dead on the third day (Mtt. [[16:21|bible.61.16.21]]; Mark [[16:2-4|bible.62.16.2-62.16.4]]; Luke [[9:22|bible.63.9.22]]). |
Abraham indicated God will provide a lamb for the sacrifice (Gen. [[22:8|bible.1.22.8]]). | God provided Jesus as The Lamb for the sacrifice (Isa. [[53:7|bible.23.53.7]]; John [[1:29|bible.64.1.29]], [[36|bible.64.1.36]]; Rev. [[5:6|bible.87.5.6]]+; [[7:17|bible.87.7.17]]+). |
God provided a ram, a male sheep, as a substitutionary sacrifice (Gen. [[22:13|bible.1.22.13]]). | God provided a male, Jesus, as a substitutionary sacrifice. |
The ram was caught by its horns (head) in a thicket (thorns) (Gen. [[22:13|bible.1.22.13]]). | Jesus wore a crown of thorns on his head (Mtt. [[27:29|bible.61.27.29]]), a symbol of the sin He bore (Gen. [[3:18|bible.1.3.18]]). |
Sacrifice offered at specific location on Mount Moriah (Gen. [[22:2|bible.1.22.2]], [[9|bible.1.22.9]]). | For hundreds of years, sacrifices would be offered from the same spot inside Solomon's Temple and the Second Temple (2Chr. [[3:1|bible.14.3.1]]). When Jesus is crucified outside the city walls on the same mountain, the veil within the Temple is rent in two (Mark [[15:38|bible.62.15.38]]). |
The ram was God's provision (Gen. [[22:13-14|bible.1.22.13-1.22.14]]). | Abraham prophetically named the place pointing to the crucifixion where God made the ultimate provision: the sacrifice of His Son for sin (Heb. [[9:26-28|bible.79.9.26-79.9.28]]). |
