In Genesis God tests Abrahams faith by telling him to provide up his son Isaac as a sacrifice (Gen 22:1-19). Abraham was faithful and God intervened at the last moment. This is a story most of us are familiar with and you may well have noticed a similarity among this occasion and what God does through His personal Son in the New Testament. In each events a father is offering up his only son as a sacrifice for other individuals. Casually studying the Genesis account you could have thought that the stories cease being comparable when God spares Isaac, following-all Jesus did enable Himself to be a sacrifice for us, but the similarities do go on just a bit further. Lets take a close appear at Genesis 22:19 which occurs at the end of the occasion

Then Abraham returned to his servants, and they set off together for Beersheba. And Abraham stayed in Beersheba. (Gen 22:19) (NIV)

Wheres Isaac? Obviously he was there, where else would he go? So if he was there why was he not talked about? He was talked about as they had been going up the mountain, so whats various now?

In truth we are not told what Isaac is doing immediately after this event for two whole chapters. Lets see what he is undertaking the subsequent time we are told about him

Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in Negev. He went out to the field 1 day to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching. Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac...

...Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and he married Rebekah. (Gen 24:62-64, 67) (NIV)

So the subsequent time we see Isaac in the Bible is when he is receiving his bride, which his fathers servant discovered for him. Now, this is really subtle but this specifically what is occurring appropriate now. Jesus has left earth, His Fathers servant (the Holy Spirit) is retrieving His bride, and we will not see Him once more until He receives us as His bride.
