Genesis 22:1-2
And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, “Abraham:” and he said, “Behold, here I am.” And he said, “Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.”
S Abraham is being asked not to sacrifice his son but to sacrifice that which is the value system as established within the earth plane or even within the individual that seeks to find enlightenment.
Genesis 22:3-4
And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
S Even as in later times, three days stands for the number of the sacrifice. Even as Jesus the Christ sacrificed Himself, so now the individual (even given here as Abraham, but standing for all individuals who seek) comes forth to find that place where the true sacrifice of ego or self as that which is self-seeking is to be sacrificed and raises up to that mountain or pinnacle where the individual meets God (or) in that holy place, the temple of temples, within thine own being.
Q How old was the son, the child, when this happened?
S Twelve years old at the time.
Q Was the mountain or pinnacle, the place afar off, that Abraham saw or was it something else?
S That which he saw, in truth, was the pinnacle within self; also, for the physical, yes, it was a mountaintop or hill, rather, as you people who are adjacent to real mountains would call same.
Genesis 22:5-6
And Abraham said unto his young men, “Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.” And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
S This is leaving behind the bestial or the nature or animal nature and seeking, then, the higher elements, the higher self, for the sacrifice, for the cleansing. This is the taking the fire in hand.
Q The child went willingly. Would the bestial nature go willingly?
S No. The ass was the bestial nature left behind with those who had not the compromise. In this understanding, the son, then, is the realization that the mind and those aspects of the mind would be the sacrifice.
Genesis 22:7-8
And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, “My father:” And he said, “Here am I, my son.” And he said, “Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering:” so they went both of them together.
S This, then, is the establishment of faith – faith in action, faith in actuality at this time, faith within self as you as an individual face yourselves and the weighing of the value of the spirit within the body, within the physical, within the mental. It’s a hard, hard thing to do.
Genesis 22:7-8
And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
S Abraham separated himself from his physical-mental desires and bound those thoughts which would be detrimental to the faith that he was developing, the spirit that he was developing, and began that which is the meeting with God.
Genesis 22:10-12
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, “Abraham, Abraham:” and he said, “Here am I.” And he said, “Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.”
S The promise is for those who would put aside all that they value as mental-physical beings, God recognizes same; and recognizes and knows then, the individual. For remember you are here to be known by God.
Genesis 22:13
And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
S And here you have that which is the name of the group or the rethinking or that which is a new thinking as given by God, the opportunity, then, to begin a new way of sacrificing rather than that which had been before.
Q Was this a real happening as the story gives?
S Is a real happening both in the physical world, the mental-spiritual world also.
Q How did this affect Isaac?
S It strengthened Isaac. For Isaac then could become the source of a faithful nation or a faithful people.
Genesis 22:14
And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
S Meaning that actions speak louder than words and all individuals should learn this, that actions speak louder than words. For God is action in that of assuming the Holy Spirit and the Christ within this plane, without this plane, and forever, amen.
And now we would give that which is the love, the strength, the power, the glory, that is the word, that is the power of the word, that is the redemption.

Hear, oh Israel, the Lord is one Lord! The Lord is the light of the world. The Lord is thy salvation. Seek to honor the Lord, for it is just, it is right. Hear, oh people of the one Lord, that Jesus the Christ was given as the sacrifice, as the way, as the hope, as the glory. Seek, then, to fulfill the promises He has given.
Genesis 22:15-18
And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, and said, “By Myself have I sworn,” saith the Lord, “for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: that in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed My voice.”
S The picture of Jesus the Christ is given here. For that which Abraham would give, or would have given, is that which God gave in the form of Jesus for the sacrifice for mankind. Abraham, then, was as a mirror image of that which is the father, the mother, that which is the Creative Force, giving, then, the opportunity for the resurrection of mankind to the status as it was created to. Hence, even though Abraham would have sacrificed his only son, it could not have been allowed, for then that which was not Abraham’s to give would have been given. For Abraham did not have the right to give the life of another as the sacrifice could have, or would have, been. For only the individual may sacrifice the life or that which is the opportunity, or the opportunities, for only God can do this.
Genesis 22:19
So Abraham returned unto his young men, and they rose up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
S This is the time, then, for each individual to seek within themselves after that which is the asking by God for that which is the individual sacrifice or that which is the attuning or that which is the naming to the opportunity of giving and the sphere of giving. At this time each individual, then, must go to that place where they find the rest physically, the rest mentally, and the rejuvenation or fulfilling through the spiritual sense or meditation.
Genesis 22:20-24
And it came to pass after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, “Behold, Milcah, she hath also born children unto thy brother Nahor; Huz his firstborn, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram, and Chesed, and Hazo and Pildash, and Jidlaph, and Bethuel. And Bethuel begat Rebekah: these eight Milcah did bear to Nahor, Abraham’s brother. And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, she bare also Tebah, and Gaham, and Thahash, and Maachah.”
S You have coming from the roots here, then as even now, the results of positive labor or work inasmuch as these are, or were, individual strengthening directions and roots of many peoples, even as actions are in the individual lives of all those that live now, then, and will be, in this plane. For as you strengthen that which are the activities through the giving or the rending of service to others, so you give or lend strength and credence to that which is the Word or the spreading of the Word as given here through the individuals who became, in themselves, spreaders of the Word. And in short, you have that which is the reverse pyramid effect or fan effect going forth to one day become that which is a circular event as all become the fans or the pyramids, completing then, at that time, the circle.
