<TITLE>22. Par 93-96</TITLE>L-93 Remember; write it down. I may be gone. See if it's right or not: last Biblical sign. Now. We find out that that was just before that was to take place.
And then what? We find out immediately after that (haven't got time to go much farther) little Isaac was born. Now, I'm closing.
What about it? When he was about twelve years old, God said to Abraham, so much as this. "There'll be a meeting sometime over in Richmond, Virginia, in United States. I want to make them know that I am absolutely positive of what I'm doing. I want you to take that son, your only son you got, take him up here on the mountain and kill him."

L-94 Abraham said, "Yes, Lord." For he received him as one from the dead, he was fully persuaded He was able to rise him up, raise him up, rather, from the dead.
So what did He do to make it confirmed to His church through all ages that He keeps His promise? And Abraham's seed, regardless of the condition that they're in, they still believe that God keeps His promise. Then what did He do?
Took little Isaac, they went three day's journey. Now, most any man, a young man like Abraham was then, turned back to a man about twenty-five, thirty years old, him and Sarah. He could walk... I can walk thirty miles. I used to patrol and game warden. I'd walk thirty miles any day. And we got gasoline feet in this day, beside of what they had. All the transportation they had was either ride a little mule or walk.

L-95 And they went three day's journey, and then lifted up his eyes, and saw the mountain where the vision had showed him, far off, and he got to the mountain. When he got there, he said to the servants, "You stay here (Listen to this, Genesis 22.); you wait here while the boy and I goes yonder to worship. And we shall return."
Oh, that just does something to me. "Abraham, do you know what you've said? You're going up there to kill him. How are you going to return you and he?"
"The lad and I will return."
Watch. He put the wood upon Isaac's shoulder, a type of the true Seed, for Jesus, to make us Abraham's seed, took the wood for the sacrifice to lay on, upon His Own shoulders, when He climbed up Golgotha.

L-96 Got up to the top of the mountain, and there he laid the wood out, and put the fire on, and everything. Little Isaac got suspicious. He said, "Father?"
He said, "Here I am, my son."
He said, "Here is the wood, and here's the fire, and here's the altar, but where is the lamb for the offering?"
What do you think that old daddy thought? He said, "My son, God will provide a lamb." That's why he called Him Jehovah-jireh. "The Lord will provide Himself a lamb for this sacrifice."
And little Isaac, he said, "Turn around, Isaac." Isaac knew then. Watch. Submitting himself to death, just like Jesus did, the true Seed... Pulled him around, tied his hands, his feet, laid him upon the altar, pushed back his little black hair and his little brown eyes shining... What's mother going to say? He can't think of that; you got to do what God said.
Mother says, "Don't you go down amongst them holy-rollers." Don't you believe it, do what God says.
Doctor says you can't get well. Don't you believe that. Believe what God says. See?
