In fact, there is an ancient rabbinical tradition that states Isaac actually died and was resurrected as the <i>midrash<\/i> comments on this passage: \u201cAs the knife reached his throat, Isaac\u2019s soul flew away and left [e.g., he died]. But when a voice went forth from between the angels saying, \u2018Do not stretch out your hand against the lad\u2019 (Genesis 22:12), his soul returned to his body\u201d (<i>Pirkei DeRabbi Eliezer 31 <\/i>as quoted in <i>The ArtScroll Davis Edition Baal HaTurim Chumash Bamidbar<\/i>, p. 1417) (bracketed comments are in the original).<\/p>\n<p>The Jewish sages also note that Scripture states that both Abraham and Isaac ascended the mountain, but that it is recorded that only Abraham descended (22:19). Isaac\u2019s absence from the Genesis narrative until many years latter (Gen 24:62) has given rise to much speculation on the part of the sages as to Isaac\u2019s whereabouts in the interim (<i>The ArtScroll Bereishis Vol. 1a<\/i>, pp. 812\u2013813).<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of the rabbinic interpretations, does Scripture leave Isaac out of the narrative as if to highlight his absence, and to give the impression (albeit a prophetic allegorical one) that he was actually sacrificed? After all, what was the ram caught in the thorn bush thicket (wearing a crown of thorns) by its two horns all about? That ram was a substitute sacrifice picturing Yeshua the Messiah dying on the cross while wearing a crown of thorns. And who was it that commanded Abraham to lay down the knife and slaughter the ram instead? It was the <i>Malak <\/i>or Messenger of YHVH (verse 11\u201312) who was none other than a pre-incarnate appearance of YHVH-Yeshua some 1900 years before his appearance as the Messiah in human form on earth as the Lamb of Elohim slain from the foundation of the earth.<\/p>\n<p><b>The Three Trumpets<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The first and last trumpets relate to the two horns of the ram caught in the thicket on Mount Moriah. The ram represents Yeshua the Sacrificial Lamb. The thicket represents human sinfulness. Humanity is entangled in the thicket of sin from which it needs to be freed. Yeshua the Messiah is the Lamb (or ram) slain from the foundation of the world (Rev 13:8), who, while hanging on the cross, wore a crown of thorns. Is this not a picture of the \u201cram caught in the thicket\u201d (Gen 22:13) of the man\u2019s sins? After all, the Scriptures say that the sins of man were laid upon Yeshua (Isa 53:6). The crown of thorns is a picture of this. Furthermore, in Matthew 13, in Yeshua\u2019s Parable of the Sower, we see that some of the seed was cast into the thorns, which Yeshua explained represents the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches that choke out the word of YHVH. These references to thorns and thicket are a picture of sin. The wages of sin is death.<\/p>\n<p>In Genesis 22, Isaac was about to die, but the ram caught in the thicket that YHVH provided was a prophetic picture of Yeshua (a Hebrew word meaning \u201csalvation\u201d) that became a substitute sacrifice for Isaac. Isaac was set free and the ram was sacrificed instead. This ram was a prophetic picture of Yeshua\u2019s death on the cross for man\u2019s sins.<\/p>\n<p>In Hebraic thought and prophetically-speaking, the left horn of the ram signifies mercy and grace. This is also a picture of the left (or weaker) hand of YHVH, which symbolizes grace, or the feminine side of Elohim. Furthermore, the left horn of the redemptive ram signifies the purpose of the first coming of Messiah Yeshua as the Suffering Savior, as one bringing mercy and grace, and who refused to quench a smoking flax or breaking a bruised reed as a meek and quiet lamb going to its slaughter (Matt 12:20; John 12:47; Isa 53:7).<\/p>\n<p>The right horn of the ram caught in the thicket represents judgment picturing Elohim\u2019s stronger right hand of power, might and judgment (Ps 89:10,13\u201314). Thus, this horn represents the second coming of Messiah, who is seated at the right hand of the Father (Acts 2:32\u201333), and who will come this time in power as King of kings to rule with a rod of iron and to judge the living and the dead, and to destroy all his enemies (Rev 17:14; 19:15).<\/p>\n<p>That is why the first trumpet (representing the left horn of the ram) is sounded on <i>Shavuot<\/i> representing YHVH\u2019s grace and mercy upon his people from Abraham until the Yeshua\u2019s second coming\u2014a time for his people to repent and return to him.<\/p>\n<p>Genesis 22:4 says that Abraham saw the \u201cplace\u201d (i.e. Mount Moriah) afar off \u201con the third day\u201d. This is scriptural prophetic code for something significant. Mount Moriah was the place of Messiah\u2019s crucifixion. Abraham saw\u2014by faith\u2014the place and work of Yeshua\u2019s death afar off. \u201cOn the third day\u201d signifies two things. First, a day in Scripture and in Jewish thought, in this instance, symbolizes 1000 years (2 Pet 3:8), and so it may represent the third one-thousand-year period from the time of Abraham (ca. 1872 B.C.). Messiah would come as the sacrificial Lamb in three days or in the third millennia from Abraham\u2019s time. Yeshua was born and died in the first millennia A.D., or the third millennia from Abraham. Second, the phrase, \u201cthird day\u201d can represent the time or millennia of Messiah\u2019s second coming as well, as we shall see.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><b>The Messenger of YHVH at the Binding of Isaac<\/b><\/p>\n<p>In Genesis 22:11, 15\u201317 we read the following,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>11 And the Messenger\/<i>Malak<\/i> of YHVH called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I \u2026 15 And the Messenger\/<i>Malak<\/i> of YHVH called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, 16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith YHVH, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: 17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In this passage, there is no mention of the Messenger of YHVH appearing to Abraham in some bodily form, only his voice calling from heaven. What we want to emphasize in this passage is that the Messenger of YHVH is equating himself with YHVH (verse 16). The biblical passages where the <i>Malak <\/i>of YHVH equates himself with YHVH while appearing in human form have perennially defied reasonable explanation by the Jewish sages.<\/p>\n<p>Notwithstanding, the ancient <i>Targum Jerusalem<\/i> (the pre-Christian Aramaic translation of the Hebrew Scriptures) equates the <i>Malak <\/i>of YHVH with \u201cthe Word of Elohim\u201d in verse eight implying that YHVH and the Word of YHVH are in some way different from each other:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>And Abraham said, The Word of Elohim will prepare for me a lamb; and if not, then thou art the offering, my son! And they went both of them together with a contrite heart.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Some Jewish sages asserts that \u201cthe angel speaks in God\u2019s name, in first person\u201d while others maintain that it was \u201cGod Himself who opened the heavens and addressed Abraham\u2019 (<i>The ArtScroll<\/i> <i>Bereishis\/Genesis Commentary<\/i>, p. 808). If the latter is true, than the <i>Malak <\/i>of Elohim\/YHVH here is none other than Elohim himself. And logically, if he is Elohim here, then he must be Elohim\/YHVH in the other passages where he is mentioned. And if Elohim can appear in human form, speak to men and eat with them (as in Genesis 18) then the question must be asked: why can\u2019t YHVH appear in human form as the Messiah; namely, Yeshua the Messiah? After all, in Proverbs 30:4 (a passage we will discuss at length later) we read,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? <b>what is his name, and what is his son\u2019s name<\/b>, if thou canst tell? (<i>KJV<\/i>) (emphasis added)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, in Isaiah 53, a passage recognized by both Jewish and Christian scholars as referring to Messiah verse one states,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of YHVH revealed?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here, the Messiah is called \u201cthe Arm of YHVH.\u201d Is the <i>Malak <\/i>of YHVH\/Elohim this \u201cArm of YHVH\u201d who does the earthly bidding of the One in heaven and who acts as the intermediary between Elohim and man? We believe so.<\/p>\n<p><b>Genesis 22:15,<i> YHVH called to Abraham.<\/i><\/b><i> <\/i>When Abraham was willing to deny himself and to follow YHVH no matter the cost even to the point of sacrificing of his son, it was only then that heaven opened up, Elohim revealed himself to Abraham and blessed him. It is when we\u2019re willing to lose our lives for YHVH, deny ourself and pick up our cross and follow Yeshua that the life of the Spirit is revealed to us and the blessings of heaven open up before us. Abraham a man who had died to himself, realized that nothing he possessed was his, for he was wholly surrendered and obedient to YHVH\u2019s will. Abraham was materially rich and had everything, yet he possessed nothing. At this point, the riches of heaven were opened up to him. For him, the real treasures were inward and eternal.<\/p>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The \u201cSacrifice\u201d of Isaac at Mount Moriah.\u00a0',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2017\/11\/04\/sacrifice-of-isaac-2\/',contentID: 'post-11470',suggestTags: 'Abraham,Akedah,Akeidah,Binding of Isaac,Genesis,Isaac,Lamb of Elohim,Sacrifice,The Cross,Yeshua',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genesis 22:13, A ram caught in a thicket by his horns.
