This is a great section of Scripture as chapter 18 begins with Abraham welcoming the three guests in the desert. Who are these guys? It ends with the father Abraham, taking the Son Isaac, up the Mount Moriah which means “will see God”, after he ties the ates, (or tree in Hebrew), to his son and raising the knife to sacrifice him … well you know the account, at least you know some of it.
We witness Abraham’s negotiations with God, we discover the righteous cannot be destroyed with the wicked, we learn about Lots wife, and what made his daughters do what they did. Isaac the child of the promise is born, Hagar and Ishmael are cast out, and a bunch more.
If the Old Testament is so important why is Jesus not in it? Really? I was asked and answer that question. This is a full and fun lesson, I hope you take the time to listen.
