[@SeraphsWitness]

That's nothing, Methuselah lived to 969. And he's actually touching on an important connection between Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac and God sacrificing Jesus. That's something theologians have pointed out for centuries actually. When Isaac inquires why they've ascended the mountain without a sacrifice, Abraham replies, "God will provide the sacrifice". He even tells the servant, "you wait here, and I will return with the boy". Abraham clearly understands that God does not intend to actually kill Isaac, or at least not to leave him dead. And sure enough, they find a goat in the briars to be the sacrifice. A picture of the Christ, sacrificed in our place. The sacrificial lamb tangled in a thorny crown.

Finally, simply having some bible literacy, whether you believe it or not, sheds a lot of light on what these narratives are actually about.

You got there before me. Isaac though was Abe's only son and true heir begotten by his wife Sarah. Ishmael was the spare sired at Sarah's insistence who, later on, also wanted him nixed when Ishmael started lording over Isaac. Women, huh.

[@SeraphsWitness]

God disagrees with you in Genesis 22:2 when he calls Isaac, "[Abraham's] only son". That's because Ishmael was not the son of the promise. He was an illegitimate son brought through Abraham's disobedience.
