"And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine and he drank."
"And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed."(26:4).We see more or less the same words God uses with Isaac as he had he had earlier blessed his father.(12:3) Families or nations are interchangeable."For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,/Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,"(Ep.3:14-15). God has called man after "our image and after our likeness" so each member is so named in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the Soul aspect. When God changed the name of Abraham he did so after the likeness of his Son. "And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross./Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:/That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;/And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."(Ph.2:8-11)
Like Abraham God sees in Isaac after the likeness of Jesus Christ in the matter of faith with works. As the Word become flesh he would connect the dots so Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday and forever." For this if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation and he has passed from death to life. (Ro.8:1) His redemption is the blessing enshrined in the everlasting covenant between God and Man. So our inner man is where Christ shall dwell in faith. So St Paul exhorts us where we ought to concentrate upon, the untimate space where Christ may abide as we abide in him. (Re.3:20) "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;"(Ep.3:16)
