• God performs the ancient ritual alone
– unconditional

5. Flesh vs. Spirit
• Ishmael vs. Isaac (son of Promise)
• son of bondwoman vs. freewoman
• Unbelief vs. Faith, Law vs. Grace
• Two natures believers face in themselves
• Galatians 4:22-23
• 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons,
one by a slave woman and the other by a free
woman. 23 Now the slave woman’s son was
conceived through human means, while the free
woman’s son was conceived through divine
promise.

8. Typologies - Akedah
Genesis 22:1-2 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass after these things,
that God did tempt Abraham, and said
unto him, Abraham:and he said, Behold,
here I am. 2 And he said, Take now thy
son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou
lovest, and get thee into the land of
Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt
offering upon one of the mountains
which I will tell thee of.

9. Typologies - Akedah
• Isaac & Jesus Christ
• "thy only son"
• Isaac probably same age as Jesus
• "on the third day" - Abraham counted Isaac dead 3
days
• Abraham believed God would resurrect Isaac to keep
His promise of an heir. Hebrews 11:17-19
"Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even
from the dead"
• "took the wood... laid it on Isaac" (carried the cross)
• "where is the Lamb? ... God will provide Himself a
Lamb" (a ram was substituted for Isaac, not a lamb)
• Was Abraham aware he was reenacting prophecy in
advance?

10. Typologies - Akedah
• Isaac & Jesus Christ
• Hebrews 11:17-19
• By faith Abraham, when he was tested,
offered Isaac—he who had received the
promises was about to offer his unique son in
sacrifice, 18 about whom it had been said, “It
is through Isaac that descendants will be
named for you.” 19 Abraham was certain that
God could raise the dead, and figuratively
speaking, he did get Isaac back in this way.

11. Typologies - Akedah
• Mount Moriah
• "in the Mount of the Lord it shall be seen"
(prophetic)
• Threshing Floor of Arunah (temple)
• Peak (Golgotha)
• Leviticus 1:11
• 11 And he shall kill it on the side of the
altar northward before the Lord:and the
priests

15. Typologies - Bride for Isaac
• Isaac & His Bride (Jesus, The Holy Spirit & The
Church)
• Eleazar sent to gather Bride
• Eleazar means Comforter; Holy Spirit is the
Comforter (John 14:16,14:26, 15:26, 16:7
– John 14:26 - But the Comforter, which is
the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send
in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance,
whatsoever I have said unto you.

16. Typologies - Bride for Isaac
• Isaac & His Bride (Jesus, The Holy Spirit & The
Church)
• Bride agrees to marry bridegroom
– Revelation 19:7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and
give honour to him:for the marriage of the Lamb is
come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
• He gives her gifts (Gifts of the Holy Spirit)
• Isaac edited out of the story
– John 16:7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is
expedient for you that I go away:for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I
depart, I will send him unto you.

17. Other Lessons
• Lot "removed" before judgement - God will not
judge the righteous along with the wicked. A
model of the Rapture?
• Jacob wrestles with God (actually wrestles with
himself as he is transformed from flesh to spirit).
God asks "What is your name?" Jacob is finally
blessed for who he really is (by faith not by
deception).
• Hints of Levitical laws ordained before Moses -
Animal sacrifices by Noah & Patriarchs, "clean &
unclean" animals in the Ark, Levirate Marriage -
codified by Moses at Sinai, but ordained in Eden
