The next biblical reference that gives insight as to who God is, is an account so strange that nearly EVERY PERSON ON EARTH TODAY has HEARD of it!
Years later -
Gen 22 : 2 - Then God said, “ Take your son, your only son, whom you love — Isaac — and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”
There are no details telling us the anguish Abraham must have felt - only that he didn’t hesitate, getting up early in the morning , travelling to Moriah , and was about to slaughter his ONLY - BEGOTTEN SON as was commonly done for food & sacrifice, when an angel stops him!
Later, the apostle Paul said THIS about the event-
Heb 11:17- By faith Abraham offered Isaac, when he was tempted ; and he offered the one begotten, which had taken the promises ;
18 - to whom it was said, For in Isaac the seed shall be called to thee.
19 - For he deemed, that God is mighty to raise him , yea , from death ; wherefore he took him also into a parable. - Wycliffe
19- He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.- ESV)
“Parable”, “Figurative Way”, “Illustrative Way”, as different translations put it.
Illustrative of WHAT?
It is not a co-incidence that Jehovah chose to refer to Jesus as His “Only-Begotten Son”!
The pattern was foreshadowed by that event, and EVERYONE knew what an
“only-begotten son” WAS, until the clergy got a hold of it, convincing all it just meant the Second God of the Trinity.
NOTHING in scripture even HINTS at that.
