    I cant sleep until i get this last bit out , Genesis 22 is much more than the story of the testing of Abrahams faith ,it is the foreshadow of Christ sacrifice ,Isaac even carries the wood ,Abraham says 'God will provide Himself a lamb for a burnt offering ' ,Isaac completely submits to his fathers will and there was a ram caught in a thicket which is Christ with a crown of thorns , its the story of a father sacrificing his only son, whom he loves ,if we accept that this is a foresshadowing of Jesus' sacrifice then Jesus cant be the sacrifice and the one who does the sacrificing ,the romans didnt kill Jesus and neither did the jews ,God sacrificed His only begotten Son ,who unlike Adam obeyed God totally and was therefore sinless and not deserving of death , as Adam and we do deserve it .This is not just the story of the trial of Abrahams faith it is the foreshadowing of the future and there is a sacrificer and a sacrifice.Father and son .Thankyou and goodnight and God bless you all for being so generous to me .

    Hi SACHA,

    You asked in your post for someone to explain Mark 13:32 and genesis 22,

    Here is Mark 13:32. But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father. There is nothing to explain there! Jesus says the son don't know and I believe him, And I agree with you Genesis 22 is a foreshadowing of God sacrificing the Lord, you asked how can Jesus be the sacrifice and the sacrificer, no point in explaining that either. The difference between me and you is you need an explanation to believe, I believe without the explanation, I also believe when the Lord says I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. I believe that because he said it. I also believe Isaiah 9:6, John 14:9, and many other verses that proves his deity,

    As equal important I believe Genesis 1:1. and I believe And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. I believe it because he's GOD! Jesus said he was not of this world, the scripture says Jesus came out of the bosom of the father and he go back to the father, Sacha The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. God is the creator who speaks things to exist out of thin air!! There is NOTHING he cant do! Do you believe that? If you do then your problem is not believing Mark 13:32, Your problem is accepting Mark 13:32. If God wanted to manifest himself into 10 beings at one time, disperse them all over the world with the father being the living Devine headquarters from whence they came, limiting them, and bring them back to there former Glory, Can he do it? NOTE: I'm not asking you did he do it! I'M ASKING YOU CAN HE DO IT? Yes he can. When it come to Jesus being The Almighty, Everlasting father, the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending. "GOD" manifesting himself in the flesh, The scripture says that's who he is and that's what he did. And I believe it.
