Is it significant that God spoke directly to Abraham to take Isaac up, but sent an angel to stop him?

No matter how many interpretations we get of this, it will never sound LOVING 😂😂

Actually in terms of the Quranic akedah, the specific son to be sacrificed was debated in Muslim scholarship. A ton of the early Muslims thought it was Isaac. I think the Quran is not interested in which son it was.

Gods were not what they were up to be!

Where was Jesus crucified. Was it on a hill like we see pictures of the 3 crosses one in the middle usually taller. No Our Lord Jesus was not even crucified on a hill because there was not one matching the Biblical description for the place of the crucifixion. Jesus was crucified on a mountain. The name of the mountain is Mount Moriah, the same mountain where God told Abraham to sacrifice his son and likely the same place. Genesis 22: 6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son. Abraham did not need to lay his son on the wood because, God laid His Son on the wood. Genesis 22: 8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself THE LAMB for a burnt offering.”So the two of them went together. Abraham did not have to sacrificed his son, because God sacrificed HIS SON. Abraham brought his son on a donkey and Our God did bring His Son on a Donkey. We see how even here is a fulfilling of the old testament Reason God wanted Abraham to go Mount Moriah is what Jesus was referring to in John 8:56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.” Abraham considered that God could raise Isaac from the dead. But God DID raise His Son up from the dead. God did not want to see what Abraham would do, but God wanted to show Abraham what He would do on that same mountain. The place of Jesus’s crucifixion would have to have been located outside the city in accordance with Roman and Jewish customs of the time. The Gospels, too, seem to suggest that Jesus was crucified outside of the city. Matthew 27: 39 And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads 40 and saying, “You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross.” They were on their way to Jerusalem for the Passover, But did not see that the real Passover Lamb was hanging on that Cross. Jesus Did not eat the Passover lamb because He Was The Passover LAMB. (Hebrews 13:11-14) The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace that He bore. For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the City that is to come (Hebrews 13:11-14). The name of place of the Crucifixion was Golgotha, as the Bible tells us, which in Aramaic means “PLACE OF THE SKULL.” The Latin word for skull is Calvaria, The Bible refer to this as site of the crucifixion. If it was a hill like some pictures show, a crowd could not have gathered there. Where than was it? Read 1 Samuel 17: 53 And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents. 54 And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armor in his tent. David a 17 or 18 year old boy walked a day about 40 KM and carried the scull of Goliath. He placed it outside the city. David would not have been allowed in the city with the scull. It must have been placed on something solid or maybe buried. This place was known to the people as a place of a Scull, This was the providence of God Our Lord. God did not let David a days journey without a purpose. Criminals were crucified outside the city wall and not carried on a long distance. Where Jesus was crucified must have been a place where a crowd could gather and people pass by, were on their way to the gate of Jerusalem for the Passover. The wall of Jerusalem was behind Him, which made it possible for the people to hear Him speak. There was not a little sign at the Cross but big letters on the wall of Jerusalem 37 And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS. Jesus feet must have been not farther from the ground as 3 feet to be able to speak to His Mother and the Disciples. All 3 crosses were the same size Jesus was not counted more worthy than a Criminal. We can conclude from this that: “Place Of A scull” must be where David placed the Scull of Goliath. I personally belief that it was still there and was crushed. Maybe even under the cross so that it signified God’s Word Genesis 3:15, And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your HEAD, And you shall bruise His heels.” The Feet of Jesus were on each side of the cross beam and nails were driven through His Heel(s). The only place in the feet that would break not the bones. The Hebrew word can also mean heels. This HE is Christ The Son Of God No mater what happened to the Scull, Satan’s head was crushed when Jesus said: “IT is finished.”
