Lecture: Biblical Series XII: The Great Sacrifice: Abraham and Isaac

Watch Exodus available exclusively on DailyWire+: bit.ly/3UgQLe6
In this, the final lecture of the Summer 2017 12-part series The Psychological Significance of the Biblical Stories, we encounter, first, Hagar's banishment to the desert with Ishmael and then the demand made by God to Abraham for the sacrifice of Isaac.
To sacrifice now is to gain later: perhaps the greatest of human discoveries. What, then, should best be sacrificed? And what might be the greatest gain? There are few eternal questions more profound and difficult.
In this lecture, I read an excerpt from Chapter 7 of my new book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, now available for pre-order at Amazon.ca (amzn.to/2wkb7MY) and Amazon.com (amzn.to/2x1hfXF).
I am currently making arrangements to continue this series with a monthly lecture. That will start in September at a date and time yet to be announced.

Damnation Forsaken it's complete allegory if you knew Hebrew and the structure of Hebrew poetry and writing. The story has to do with balancing polarities within and sacrificing yourself within.

[@damnationforsaken9430]

Mr.Sobrino firstly, i don't think it was allegory in the way you are saying when it was written, i think they did the best to convey what they wanted to, secondly, even if it were allegory, what you are saying implies that the writers were deliberately trying to mislead, which would make them dishonest ... thirdly even in that case what makes you think that your interpretation of 'allegory' is the valid one...... I think they are pretty straightforward in what they were saying allegory or not.

You’ve helped me to understand what I did. The good mother fails... I knew the world was harsh and raised them to be strong, to get up when they fell, to be independent women. I didn’t want them to get beat by life, as it is never easy. So I was maybe too harsh, never accepting weakness or failure. I pushed my 3 daughters into the world while pointing out the dangers. I was once young and alone in a very harsh world... I wanted them to be better equipped. They are grown, 20 to 25 and I miss them so much. They are all what I raised them to be and independent, but also independent of me. Brilliant, beautiful and kind, they are no longer in need of me. I miss my daughters as much as I am proud of who they became. I’ve been saddened by their physical absence from my life. The good mother...

[@carolr.556]

I can definitely relate in some way..I wanted the opposite..My children to serve Christ..They are good people .but are they walking with God? Still praying..

Genesis 22:8 "God himself will provide the lamb" or "God will provide himself, a Lamb" is echoed in John 1:29 "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" Mind blown.

[@patrickbolding9729]

Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

[@djbillyrae]

Want more mind blowing? The Ram was found with his horns caught in a thicket. A thicket is a thorn bush. Basically the sacrificial ram had a crown of thorns. Some more? Abraham placed the wood for the sacrifice on Isaac's back, so Isaac carried his cross up the mountain.

[@MatthewSchellenberg]

Here's some more: Mount Moriah is in what later would be known as Jerusalem, the very place where Jesus was crucified. Furthermore, the Hebrew text is in the future/incomplete tense: "On this mountain the Lord will see to it/provide". The very place where the lamb of God would be sacrificed.

[@MatthewSchellenberg]

A ram is not a lamb. When Abraham said the Lord will provide a lamb, it was unfulfilled at the end of this story. The lamb of God comes in the New Testament, speaking of Jesus.

[@MatthewSchellenberg]

Also, the journey was supposed to be for three days. After three days the attendants would see the son again. Abraham promised them that they would return, so he reasoned that no matter what, Isaac was coming back alive. The New Testament points out that Abraham reasoned his way to the resurrection, that if his son's life is taken, he must get it back again, seeing as the promise would be fulfilled, and that Abraham trusted that God would fulfill his promise.

[@climbtheladder9440]

Fringe Wizard all right. So, maybe you're right. Maybe, as a society, we need to let some stuff burn away before we can move up and gain better understandings and processes. I don't think anyone needs to wish for a challenger because it will be self evident when we all start to challenge these ideas by living out our lives. The proof is in the pudding (or it WILL be, anyway), so to speak.

It is remarkable that it took 40 years to finally encounter a TRULY good teacher. That is how rare they are. It is the lack of understanding the subject matter which has always kept me from living life. Yes, because these were the earliest stories told to me, and I knew they held incredibly deep meaning, but could not be put forward to me in any deeper way than literally. This stripped them of nearly all meaning, as the rabbis, cantors, Hebrew school teachers, Sunday school teachers and so on continuously collected their paychecks, some innocently but others not so innocently convinced of their superb contribution to society, and blamed my ADHD, and secretly, my adopted non-Jewish blood for my disinterest, lack of passion, and often openly despised attempts at levity through mockery of the subject matter.

Dear everyone, the reason Christ said, "My God, My God why have You forsaken me", is because He continues to be, exactly who He claimed to be. While on the cross, He starts the first line of a song written by King David in the Old Testament. Psalms 22. Now just imagine, you are witnessing this man, claiming to be the Son of God, being crucified unto death. Then all of a sudden, this Man begins to sing the first line of a song, that you and the rest of your culture are very familiar with and have been for over 800 years. What happens next, as you continue to sing the rest of the lyrics the Dying Man began to sing, you begin to witness the lyrics, play out in real time, and realize the Son of Man hanging on the cross is from God. Psalm 22 written around 800 years before Jesus. Now wrap your own brain around that.

To add another layer to that: Christ's Passion is prophesied another time as though from the perspective of His persecutors and detractors, written perhaps only 100 years before, in the Book of Wisdom, Chapter 2 (1 and 3 adds a lot to it too), which Professor Peterson partly quoted at 32:00, but read on a little further. Then read also Matthew 27:36-46. (Wisdom is not part of the biblical canon for Protestants, but it is for Catholics and Orthodox.)

Come on people, let's get 12 Rules for Life up the Amazon charts. Pre-ordered my copy already.

[@AB-eq9mm]

32 hours 8 minutes and 29 seconds of amazing content in this series so far. Never stop.

[@robotomasher]

Long live Professor Jordan of house Peterson, first of his name, heir to the hierarchy, the rightful ruler of big five personality traits, breaker of pronouns, the un-triggered, and the protector of the memes. The Kek remembers....roughly speaking.

[@ForgottenFirearm]

...I think that's the right way to think about it.

[@amycifuentes5970]

Beautiful.

An original Troll/Meme comment. Nice.

Bravo Mr. Peterson. The Abraham Issac story and the way you let that play out was beautiful. Bravo i say 👏

[@KevinOroszSpeaks]

This man is an absolute legend. Authentic. Real. Savage. Thank you assisting me in re-orienting my life towards the ultimate good, and for lots of laughs!

[@briandaems6446]

Absolutely brilliant summary at the end, informed by by years of reading out of the best books, clinical work, and just living the tough life he has lived! I would say he is inspired by the Spirit and loyal to truth. What a privilege to listen to these incredible lectures.

[@Bust4]

My mind kept blowing up when he started reading what he wrote, it's amazing and it all makes sense if you listen to it carefully.

[@helgaursula]

I am mesmerized By Dr, Petersons explaining the biblical stories. It opens so many doors in my understanding of the bible, for me. Thank you so much

[@ifyouwereme]

I cried from the last part while driving home from work in traffic. Very touching.

[@rodrigo3732]

Ohhhhhh man!!!! That ending was like a season finale.

[@patrickndeze5387]

Really greatful for these lectures. You made me clean my room... I have been struggling with this idea since I was a teenager but you gave me reasons why it should be clean and my life has changed. Thank you Dr. Peterson

[@jacksonmay153]

How can anyone paint Dr. Peterson in a negative light?! This man has no hate in him for anyone. How can people not feel Dr. Peterson's love for humanity and life itself?! He truly wants what's best for everyone; in his actions, thoughts, and teachings.

[@ffemt66]

Wow this one tied it all together. I was weed whacking my lawn & all the sudden I am sobbing. I’m freaking 6’3 & 240(my playing weight was 220 so yeah, not muscle) and I was out there yesterday sobbing like a baby. Just applying this to my life thinking about my 14 & 12 year old kids, my wife losing her parents in the past 5 years and how much giving her only son to this world will hurt her. A good mother fails. So true, so brilliant. Starting 50:25 and rolling all the way through is some of the most intense words I’ve ever heard. Our ark was not built a few years ago but we had a choice, sink or swim. We saw Jordan in Philly last year and his topic was “opportunity lurks where responsibility has been abdicated.” I highly recommend. Feels so good to know there’s others out there that understand this and how much it has helped us all. Keep going everyone. 💪

[@Chris-cf2kp]

So incredible that someone proposed here at the end. I mean, it's just something that might not have happened without the guidance that Jordan has provided. There's just something really beautiful about that happening. It is a direct positive result of someone taking the lessons to heart.

[@Integralsouls]

this is the most beautiful ending I ve ever seen of any thing ever. No wonder why people love him.

[@limitless1692]

This man changed my life Thank You Sir Jordan B Peterson

[@willianschultzBR]

Men, he closed up this first 12 lectures with golden key. This lecture is top quality from begining to end

[@NotAFanMan88]

The marriage proposal at the end, absolutely perfect with all the bucko memes abound.

[@NicksAreOverrated]

Sharing is investing into the future, I can't even tell you how that blew my mind

[@rajab2852]

I'm almost done with the book Notes from the Underground by Dostoevsky (yes, I bought it and read it after this incredible genius Dr Peterson suggested it) and even though I was already warned when he had admired Dostoevsky and the book for being terrifyingly true, I could not help but be flabbergasted at the depth and genius of the ideas Dostoevsky put forward in that book. There were moments when I just read on like a little kid that was introduced to a horrific idea (I presume I looked like that because that's how I felt). Dr. Peterson, thank you for suggesting such an amazing book! I also have other Dostoevsky and Tolstoy books in my library now and intend to read and digest them in coming months/years.

[@wolfieinu]

No kidding. "Crime and Punishment" had me walking around in a daze for days (NPI). I haven't felt that since back when I'd read every sci-fi anthology I could find. Good stuff.

[@arochasalangam2150]

With the previous comment already 1 year ago, today having enjoyed and loving each and every word for the first time, this must available for ever. You have enormously upgraded my thinking and even explained many past experiences. Jordan Peterson: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[@josephhummert8756]

I've listened to this series three times now. Not sure how I missed the ending to this one! Best wishes to that couple wherever you are! A year ago October 1, I lost my soulmate of 20 years to a rapid illness. Marriage isn't for the faint of heart! You can't be a quitter! Properly executed, though, it is heaven on earth! Good luck to you and God bless Dr. Peterson and all that learn from him! Well done Doc!

[@BIA_N]

Please Dr Peterson, turn these lectures into a book. This is so great.

[@cameronmapes]

That marriage proposal made me tear up. Well done my man.

[@HispanusHorribilis]

I'm a cradle Catholic and could say that I was a CINO (Catholic in name only) During college I went through a socialist phase but the most worrying phase was the atheist one. I remember this very vividly: September 2018 on my 4hr daily commute to work from TJ to San Diego I decided that in order to keep my sanity I'd better start listening to a smart podcast while on queue to cross the border to get to work. That moment @59:29 got to me. Tired and hopeless because I was once again almost late for work. And I listened very carefully to this part. I started crying. The innocence of Isaac and Abraham's abandonment on God is such a powerful story. I learned that if I wanted structure in my life for things to work out I needed to fill in that spiritual void. I am still a sinner but now I am trying to become that temple in which the Holy Spirit must reside. Thank you, Dr. Peterson, for being the catalyst that made this poor sinner reach out to his faith. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@etphonehome1071]

I am a "good mother" who has "failed" five times. I love this quote - it is so true, and it explains why my kids have grown into such fantastic adults even though I was a negligent, sub-par mother.

[@Roescoe]

Hey, That's great!

[@untamedpandasweg8986]

E Tphonehome Having a rough childhood doesn't 100% make people serial killers, but many killers had rough childhoods. Also, one of your children can go crazy after you die. You'll never know the full extent of possible damage you allegedly inflicted upon them.

[@JesusFreeForAll]

Yes feel good that your children turned out as they did. That's amazing take a while to love and embrace it with all the struggle and joys that you went through to meet this outcome. This makes me think a bird mum does not push their young out of the nest by randomness or accident. They teach them to fly when they see the young bird is ready - and let go too. So be wise when you teach and "let go" concerning children. And be there for them. If the bird simply didn't think and pushed the young. Then resilience and life lottery will play a major role in the outcome. And the mother bird is luck and should be happy if the young learn to fly and they turn out well in life. Thank you.

[@OliverSteadman]

This is my favourite JBP content to date, best of all lectures & interviews: it seems to touch on most of his most brilliant themes & anecdotes, it is emotive, it is inspiring to a sublime degree.

[@jhl3653]

What a way to end a lecture. In both big and little ways, Dr Peterson is making such an amazing and positive difference in the world. All this began when just one person had the wisdom and strength of conviction to stand up and say "No" in the face of rising tyranny. God bless you sir.

[@78jetpilot]

this is very insightful. "If you play the game of your enemies and you win, you win their game. You don't win. That's not victory. You just become the most successful component of their pathology." - J. Peterson

[@dlenger1655]

I recently looked through the courses of my university , which I have to take the next year. They have names like “ The pedagogy of the oppressed “. I am not looking forward 😂🙈🙈

[@MrKmas508]

Dominique Lengersdorf RIP

[@dlenger1655]

No need for worry. I will use this course as an opportunity to speak up against the postmodern doctrine, slaying some SJW- Dragons and step into the chaos of resistance from the extreme left :P // I actually believe in the humanities and maybe I can take my part in fighting against the corruption of the humanities :)

[@sircastic959]

Good luck with redeeming the humanities. I am halfway in the humanties but I also do economics and right now I feel like that´s how it will end with me. Capitalism all the way.

[@polishfish]

Pedagogy of the Oppressed is quite an interesting book, don't discount it because of the word oppressed!

[@OrthoSebastianLopez]

Dominique Lengersdorf yea I have to take an anthropology class I'm not looking forward to the liberal bs I'm about to hear

[@AfroReporter]

Did this 12-part series just end with a marriage proposal? Best 40 hours I've ever spent

[@karensilver8853]

It gave me the chills and made me start to clean up my act. There are echo notes between the Covenant with Noah, the covenant with Abraham and the covenant with Moses; faithfulness to the covenant doesn't negate chaos but it shields each by giving them a horizon to move toward.

[@derekjager4697]

I got an ad for a Christian dating site during this video...I burst into laughter in my work place and my co workers just stared at me like I was a mad man. Made my day.
