"And said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am." Here the Spirit in the call and the response sets a Father Son colloquy. The Spirit gives us another instance so you cannot miss its purpose. "That the Lord called Samuel: and he answered, Here am I."(1 Sam.3.4). In Samuel's case it was in the sense of a servant while here it i that of a father. So God, the Father is sounding how deep is his faith.
"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." God specific as to the land. 'The land is mine' as the earth and the fulness thereof, belong to him. any one of the mountains shall be for symbolism serve just as well. His son is the stone cut not with hands. For this reason in the transfiguration of Jesus no mention of the name. He is the rock of offence and spiritual rock. With such consistency the Spirit has established the symbolic value of the mountain. " the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains," Isa.2.2-3 It is another way of connecting Zion from which the law shall go forth and the holy city, New Jerusalem. "for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem."
In the divine will this offering is already embedded so the emblem of the Lamb slain shall be realized in fulness of time. Consequently what is the value of John's witnessing? He saw Jesus, "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."(Jn.1.29,32) Testimony of two is true. Not only John, a man but also the Holy Spirit " And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him." This is one narrative while we have in this colloquy with Abraham a parallel narrative. This being the case God sounded how genuine his faith was.
