Insert: The reason I say that Cain is the witness from the end of judgment is I am reminded of the parable Jesus spoke of the rich man and Lazarus,(Luke 16:19-31). The rich man was cast into hell and from his condition he asked if he could go and warn his brothers about the consequences of his choices. Jesus replied If they didnt believe Moses then how will they believe one that has returned from the dead. Abrahams name is used in this parable which brings me to the next part of my essay. Part.6: The prophesy (Gospel) lived thru Abraham, Isaac and the servant. The world and all that was in it was destroyed by a great flood. Noah and his family was chosen by God to build an ark that would preserve him and his family and Gods plan revealed thru Adam and Eve and their two sons. This shows a new beginning. Then Abram is born. Abram is called by God to separate himself from his fathers household,which is a household of idol worshipers. He is being separated ( or consecrated) unto God to lead Abram according to Gods plan and purpose. Abram was chosen to live out how God was going to bring HIS plan to past, (a living prophecy of what God plans to do). One of my favorite verses is Genesis 15:1. Fear not Abram: I am your shield and your exceeding great reward. Abram is called the Father of faith because he obeyed God in faith and hes the Father of Ishmael (Islam), and Isaac (Jews first, then Christianity). Then God promises Abram an heir, a son ( 1, not 2), and that he will be the father of (a) nation. Abrams (already) wife Sarai is barren. Sarai boubted Gods promise and decided that God needs help bringing HIS promise to past. So she gives her slave woman to her husband Abram and then Ishmael is born. Some would say that Ishmael was the promised son, but thats not the case. 13 years later God still comes to Abram, (Genesis chapter.17.), and says walk before me, and be thou PERFECT.( Because what he just did wasnt perfect). Verse 4 of chapter17. God Now says to Abram you shall be the father of many nations. Verse 5. God changes Abrams name to Abraham Verse 6. Nations and kings shall come out of him. Verse 7. God speaks a covenant between HIMSELF and Abraham and his seed after him. Verses 10-12 God gives to Abraham and to his seed after him the covenant of circumcision. (A male child is to be circumcised at the age of 8 days). The number 8 means new beginning ( New Covenant). Verse 15. God changes Sarais name to Sarah. Verse 16 Sarah is called The mother of nations and kings shall be of her Verse 19. Abraham pleads for lshmaels life, (because Abraham knows he messed up). Verse 20. Gods speaks that Abrahams (true) wife Sarah shall bare a son and his name shall be called Isaac. Verse 21. God answers Abrahams prayer for Ishmaels life to allow him to live and become a great nation. Ishmael was already 13 years old so he doesnt come under the law of circumcision of the age of 8 days. Kings will come out of Sarah (Isaac), but princes out of Ishmael. Ishmaels birth was motivated by Sarai, but Isaacs birth was motivated and appointed by GOD. Abraham and Sarahs names were changed because they wont do things their way anymore, but they will allow God to have HIS way. And as we can already see Gods way is much more prosperous. What happens next confirms this. Chapter 18. God comes to Abraham a third time and speaks to Abraham saying that Sarah will have a son. Sarah laughs because now they are both to old and Sarah is not only barren, but now she is beyond the child baring age. Chapter 21. Isaac is born now with both Abraham and Sarah to old to have children. Gods promise came, passed human ability. God waited till they were to old so that they dont get the glory. It was by Gods divine plan, appointment and ability. Isaac is a miracle child appointed and approved by God. The prophetic of Mary and Jesus. This is the prophetic of Isaiah 7:14 Therefore The Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold a virgin shall conceive, and shall bare a son and shall call HIS NAME EMMANUEL. This is also talking of a miracle birth without human effort, only by Gods effort. Lets go on. Isaac is circumcised at the age of 8 days according to the covenant of circumcision.The day that Isaac is weaned Abraham throws a feast in Isaacs honor and Ishmael is seen by Sarah mocking her son Isaac. She tells Abraham to cast out this slave woman and her son (Ishmael) for they will not be heir with my son, Genesis 21:8-10Verse 12 God agrees. When God called Abram back in chapter 12:3 He said to Abram I will bless them that bless you and curse them that curse you. And in 21:12 God tells Abraham that in Isaac shall your seed be called. It is said He who honors The Son honors The Father also. Chapter 22 of Genesis Isaac is circumcised on the 8th day. So lets see Who and what Isaac represents. We already see that Isaacs birth is a cymbal or prophetic of the birth of Jesus thru Mary,Jesuss mother. In chapter 22: God tests Abraham if he will love the gift (Isaac) more then the giver (God). God commanded Abraham to Take now thy Son, thine only Son Isaac, whom thou lovest----- and offer him for a burnt offering. God said offer him,not kill him. Verse 7. Isaac asked his father we have the fire and the wood, but where is The Lamb for the burnt offering? Verse 8. Abraham said (prophesied) My Son, God will provide HIMSELF a Lamb for a burnt offering. I looked up the words WILL PROVIDE (7200) in the Hebrew dictionary. The Hebrew definition for these two words describes as one who experiences something PERSONALLY. God will provide HIMSELF is really saying God will be Himself The Lamb. Abraham, being a prophet of God saw in the immediate future and FAR into the future. It is here I believe that Jesus ment in John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. Verse 10-12 Just when Abraham raised his hand with the knife the angel stoped him and said Now I know you fear God seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. Because Abraham did not withhold his son from God then God will not withhold HIS SON from us. Abraham the Father offering his son as a sacrifice is the prophtic of John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in HIM shall not perish, but have everlasting life. Now it is revealed Abraham as The Father, Isaac The Son, now The Servant ( as The Holy Ghost). Genesis 24:4 Abraham commanded his oldest servant to go and find a wife for his son Isaac.John 6:44. Jesus said No man comes to me, except The Father which hath sent Me draw him: Jesus also said John 16:13-14 When The Spirit of Truth comes He will guide you into all truth: For He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: (Sounds like a servant). (14). He shall glorify Me. John 15:26 He will testify of Me. Those who believe in Jesus Christ are sealed by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit holds the Church together and The Church is The Bride of Christ Jesus The Son. (Revelation 19:20). The oldest servant of Abraham has been with The Father and The Son from the beginning, and He knows all about Abraham and Isaac therefore He is wholly committed to them to do the will of The Father and The Son. In the beginning(Genesis) God said Let US create man in OUR image. 1 John 5:7 in the King James Version reads There are 3 that bare record in Heaven, The Father, The Word, and The Holy Ghost, and these three are one. John 10:30 and 14:9. JESUS said you have seen me you have seen The Father, I and The Father are One. John 1:1 reads In the Beginning was The Word, and The Word was with God and The Word WAS God. John 1:14 reads And The Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. The baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist shows The Father Speaking from Heaven The Holy Spirit coming down proclaiming Jesus as The Son. They are three as one and one in the same. Abraham, Isaac and The servant are three more witnesses. To be continued: The prophetic of The Old into The New (Moses).
