This FINALLY Explains Why God Told Abraham To SACRIFICE His Son 👀

[@Kolodbalevav]

From a scientific point of view: The story tells Abraham that God does not want child sacrifice. This was revolutionary and humane in a time when child sacrifice was very common to 'appease' any given God.

[@imankhandaker6103]

@@Kolodbalevav So the way to NOT want a child sacrifice - is to ask for one? Very scientific - but I would like to see the working out. I suppose this proves that God is a woman?

This was beautiful. More videos like this, please! I heard about the principle of chiasm before (and I keep encountering it in the prophesies of Isaiah, within the book as a whole, within the chapters, within 'substories'), but I didn't know how to use it. Thanks for the explanation! It also resonates on another level. 1. What if God DID provide himself a lamb? (What would he need a lamb for, by the way?) "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29). 2. Would God ask Abraham to do something he himself would not be willing to do? (could there be a prophetic meaning to sacrificing the 'firstborn' - the promised son) "For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only Son" (John 3:16a) He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours, but for the sins of the whole world" (1 John 2:2). 3. You talk about Abraham's loyalty to both his son and to God. He didn't leave either of them alone. It was hard for him, but he didn't walk away, not even emotionally. "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, than you will know that I am and that I do nothing on my own but speak just what the Father has taught me. The one who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone, for I aways do what pleases him" (John 8:29). "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done" (Matthew 26:42). 4. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (...). By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice (...). Abraham reasoned that God could raise the dead, and figuratively speaking, he did receive Isaac back from death" (Hebrews 11:1, 17, 19).

The Torah in its entirety is one big Atbash - the first two books and the last two point to the center book, Leviticus/Vayrikra, which at its center has the "holiness code" which at its center has the central Law of Creation - "Love Thy Neighbor as Yourself." (lev 19:18). Thus as Hillel said - "This is the whole of the Law - now go study."

[@giantfactory]

1. Holy is derived from the Hebrew - choly, which is defined as the implications of the trauma and suffering inflicted as a result of the plague we know as religion. 2. There is Hebrew word for “law.” God did not hand down laws and He certainly did not command anyone to “love thy neighbors.”

[@randallcarter3353]

@ I don’t know what you are on about and personally don’t care …. but Leviticus 19:18 is pretty clear in English. This whole section of Torah is commonly know in English as “the holiness code.”. Here holy comes from the word kedush which although translated as “holy” literally means “to keep separate “. “You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against members of your people. Love your fellow as yourself: I am יהוה.”

[@JenniferRighter]

Abraham had incredible faith! He believed GOD'S promise despite GOD'S request to prove that Abraham loved GOD more than his son. What a predicament! But Abraham was faithful to his GOD and passed the test. This whole ordeal foreshadowed the sacrificing of GOD'S SON in the same exact spot hundreds of years later. There are no coincidences with GOD!😊

Many thanks to you for elucidating your perspective on this chiastic piece of Scripture! I believe you have captured a huge piece of it. Yet, according to my study, this is only part of the foundation of God's statement of his benevolence toward people, and of his trust of Abraham to be the father of all nations through Isaac his son. I wish so much that you would be able to carry on to bring the whole of the chiasm together, starting with the very central piece you've done so well, and then carrying it on to completion. This is a stupendous message God placed in his Torah for all of us, and all of this pericope needs to be presented to all people. You have started it; keep on with it! Praying, I am! Lord God, may it be done according to your will, that this message, so central to your Jewish people, could be made complete for it to be available to all your aspiring people!

It is important to keep in mind that the Torah is not a running historical record made by man. Torah is the breath of G-d given to humanity for our instruction and edification. What everyone seems to miss, is that this is as much a test for Isaac as it was for Abraham. Unlike the Isaac we see depicted in the works of Flemish artists, Isaac was not a 12 year old child at the time of the Akedah, Isaac was at least 30 years old. It is also imperative that one take note of G-d's previous promises, and the covenant He made with Abraham from Gen. 15 onwards. Isaac was in the prime of life, and at any time could have resisted, thus we know he went willingly, knowing he was the offering. Both Abraham and Isaac trusted G-d, and whatever was about to transpire, they knew that the L-rd would fulfill His promise to make a mighty nation through the offspring of Isaac.

As a Christian, I think the interpretation and character of God changes throughout the Bible for so many of the religious leaders of the times and eras they lived in. I prefer the interpretation of God in the Genesis and the garden of Eden when God instructs humanity and animals to be vegan plant eaters. "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. This will be yours for food" Genesis 1:29 These other later interpretations of God being pleased with killing animals for sacrifices and food doesn't sit well with me. I just think that that the concept and interpretation of God somehow changed drastically according to the religious leaders of those times. Maybe they had a taste of eating meat then suddenly changed their interpretation of God altogether. I don't think they spoke to an audible God who spoke back to them, but rather through a thought process of how they wanted to interpret the character of God and how he should be. Ideas and aspirations can change and evolve over time...

I’m pretty sure the Hebrew Bible says that God says specifically why and it is because everything comes from God and so one must be willing to give all up to God. Symbolically it is showing that if you are willing to do what is righteous and truthful, as God is truth and righteousness itself, you may lose even your children as they will turn against you but in the end they will be given back. This is example very well now days by the modern youth turning against their parents because of their traditional values go against what they are being taught at school and the parents refuse to change those beliefs even if it means their children leave their life as in later years they tend to come back into their lives either minutes or decades later. Also did God not sacrifice us by letting us come here and have free will to choose to obey and return or to turn away and never return.

Here are some reasons why the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross is different from the human sacrifices forbidden in Scripture: 1. The sacrifice of the Messiah is acceptable to God for the forgiveness of the sins of many (Isaiah 53:3-12). Other human sacrifice was forbidden by God. 2. Humans cannot die for others because they are sinful, and therefore deserve to die for their own sins (Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23). However, Jesus was sinless and therefore uniquely qualified to die for the sins of others (2 Corinthians 5:21, Hebrews 7:26-27, Hebrews 9:28). 3. Jesus was more than a mere human - He was also Divine. 4. Forbidden human sacrifices were offered up to idols (like Molech Leviticus 18:21). But Jesus was sacrificed unto God (Ephesians 5:2, Hebrews 9:14). 5. Forbidden human sacrifice involves taking someone's life from them. However, Jesus willingly laid down His life, and no one took it from Him (John 10:17-18).

He believed God would give descendants through Isaac because he promised so, therefore even if Isaac died, this promise would be fulfilled, so the command of God tested him to see how much he really believed in this promises. By this test, angels know that Abraham is worthy, I know, and I and everyone alive today can learn from this story what complete true faith really means. To trust God even when it seems impossible. Without tests all we would have is God words against peoples words, no tangible proof. So he would judge based on his knowledge, we would not know for certain that the judgment is true. Even if our love or hate is true in the inside it can only be proven when it is manifested by actions. Infact, it is purposeless if it's not actualised and manifested in our actions.

The story you tell, of Abrahams only begotten son,,,, even though he had another with Hagar named Ishmael, is recorded again of how christ offered himself the only begotten son , the lamb killed when Adam ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, to show you what you are doing to the holy spirit of God himself..Sarah was seeded by YHWH through his willing it , the same as Mary. through the holy spirit itself. The first covenant was the spirit bound, in bondage, all of Abrahams offspring ishmael included, will be blessd and this covenant was in keeping witth the promise to teach the slave in bondage as well, you will note that Jacob had children with the slaves in his service. The second covennt with Christ is of freeing people from this bondage to be with the Heavenly Father as was when the time before the serpent indebted mankind and the earth with a curse.

Abraham ACTUALLY says ‘GOD WILL PROVIDE ( YHWH YIREH) HIMSELF A LAMB!’In effect releasing Abraham from sacrificing his son! ‘WHICH IS CHIASMICALLY Answered in John 3:16 ‘FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON SO THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT HAVE LIFE EVERLASTING’

This was fiction created by Nabu-kudurri-uṣur, who wanted badly to change the truth of history.

Greek Egyptian hieroglyphs roman history mentions nothing bout Jewish people till bout 200 bc

[@cherylconway749]

Not true. Egyptians record the exodus.

@cherylconway749 that what you call faithful. Believe your religious faith don't ask too many questions.

@@cherylconway749 I am getting tired of judaic claims. Battle of Megiddo 1500BC wil show Thutmose lll Is Moses setting up the New Egyptian Kingdom in the levant and canaan. Melqart will show that the pontic sea farers that worked with ancient Egypt in the times of foreign rulers were already settled in Tyre and surrounds.. Elephantine papyri will show the Yahudi not even knowing when passover is to be celebrated and no Hebrew scripting is in evidence. King Hezekiah bulla found outside the temple in jerusalem will show with its impressed symbols, Yahudi practising egyptian theology. even the Book of the Hevenly Cow an egyptian cult practise is being invoked by the Rabbis in their pressing of the meschiach with the sacrifice of the red heifer. You being stuck on the other, instead of focusing upon the self have no clue in what you are worshipping, yet you are all big mouths when being antichrist. Nowhere in the OT is jew mentioned, it is taken from the NEW testament itself.

​@@jacktbugx1658 The Mernephtah stele from Egypt mentions a nation of Israel. The stele is dated from 1200 BC.

The Hebrew word was never sacrifice. Besides, Itzhak was a full grown up man, not a kid like in the anti-Semitic Christian paintings.

True Christianity is NOT antisemitic. As a Christian, I love and support Israel and the Jews. God bless Israel!! Am Yisrael Chai!!

[@sadbuttrue-r9u]

With thise retarded statements you are just pushing more of thise Christians to not support Israel, you are re*****d and ignorant, Jews done all kinds of awful sht to Christians for no freakibg reason, learn history. Your ancestors were reason why you were ejected from Judea, literally, no Orthodox pushed you from there you pushed yourselfbyy taking side of muslims, same muslims who slaughtered, graped you and slod you into slavery, isn't this braindead and ironic 😂

​@@jwallistube stop simping for Israel, dude literally accused you of anti-semitism, like tf?

[@jwallistube]

@@sadbuttrue-r9u As a Christian, my positive view of Israel comes from the Bible, so it won't change based on what people accuse me of.

[@sadbuttrue-r9u]

@@jwallistube support for Israel should be purly political, theres no verse in the Bible saying that Holy Land should be under control of Rabbinical Jews, Israel has right to defend itself and that is fact and jihadis losing is great but to simp for Israel as much as some of you lib 'Christians' is mind-boggling, dude its just a normal state, nothing special
