GENESIS CHAPTER 22 - 22:9

GENESIS  CHAPTER  22

 22:1 The spiritual experience of Abraham was marked by four great crises, each of which involved a surrender of something naturally most dear. These were: ( 1 ) Country and kindred ( GENESIS  12:1  MATTHEW  10:34__39 ).  ( 2 ) His nephew, Lot; especially dear to Abraham by nature, as a possible heir and as a fellow believer ( 2  PETER  2:7__8;  GENESIS  131__18 ). The completeness of Abraham's separation from one who, though a believer, was a "vessel unto dishonour," is shown by Genesis  15:1__3.  2  Timothy  2:20__21.  ( 3 ) His own plan about Ishmael ( GENESIS  17:17__18 ).  ( 4 ) Isaac, "thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest" ( GENESIS  22:1__9;  HEBREWS  11:17__18 ).  

 22:9 The typical lessons here are:  ( 1 )  Isaac type of Christ "obedient unto death" ( PHILIPPIANS  2:5__8 );  ( 2 )  Abraham, type of the Father, who "spared not His own son, but delivered Him up for us all" ( JOHN  3:16:  ROMANS  8:32 );  ( 3 )  the ram, type of substitution__Christ offered as a burnt-offering in out stead ( HEBREWS  10:5__10 );  ( 4 )  resurrection ( HEBREWS  17:19 ).

EXODUS CHAPTER 12 - 12:11

EXODUS  CHAPTER  12 12:11 - The Passover, type of Christ our Redeemer ( EXODUS  12:1__28;  JOHN  1:29;  1  CORINTHIANS  5:6__7 ). ( 1 ). - The lamb must be without blemish, and to test this it was kept up four days ( EXODUS  12:5__6 ). So our Lord's public life, under hostile scrutiny, was the testing which proved His holiness ( LUKE  11:53__54;  JOHN  8:46 ). ( 2 ). - The Lamb thus tested must be slain ( EXODUS  12:6;  JOHN  12:24 ).   ( 3 ). - The blood must be applied ( EXODUS  12:7 ). This answers to appropriation by personal faith, and refutes universalism ( JOHN  3:36 ). ( 4 ). - The blood applied of itself, without anything in addition, constituted a perfect protection from judgment ( EXODUS  12:13;  1  JOHN  1:7 ). ( 5 ). - The feast typified Christ the bread of life, answering to the memorial supper ( MATTHEW  26:26__28;  1  CORINTHIANS  11:23__26 ). To observe the feast was a duty and privilege, but not a condition of safety. As a matter of fact, the bread was n

EXODUS CHAPTER 30 - 30:34 AND 30:38

EXODUS  CHAPTER  30 30:34  Frankincense is not to be confounded with incense ( to which it was to be added ), as it is often used apart from incense, We are told what composed the incense__never in Scripture what the frankincense was. All speaks of Christ__the sweet spices of those perfections which we may apprehend, the frankincense of that which God saw in Jesus ineffable. 30:38  What is condemned here is making worship a mere pleasure to the natural man, whether sensuous, as in beautiful music to please the ear, or eloquence, merely to give delight to the natural mind.  JOHN  4:23__24.  30:18  Laver, type of Christ cleansing us from defilement, and from "every spot or wrinkle or any such thing" ( JOHN  13:2__10;  EPHESIANS  5:25__27 ). It is significant that the priests could not enter the holy place after serving at the brazen altar till hands and feet were cleansed. 30:31  Anointing oil, type of the Holy Spirit are service

GENESIS CHAPTER 37 - 37:2

GENESIS  CHAPTER  35 35:7 the God of Bethel. Genesis  28:19.  There it was the place as scene of the ladder-vision which impressed Jacob. He called the place "Bethel," the house of God. Now it is the God of the place, rather than the place, and he calls it El-Bethel, "the God of the house of God." Genesis  33:20. 35:14 The first mention of the drink-offering. It is not mentioned among the Levitical offering of  Leviticus  1__7,  though include in the instructions for sacrifice in the land ( NUMBERS  15:5__7 ). It was always "poured out," never drunk, and may be considered a type of Christ in the sense of Psalm  22:14;  Isaiah  53:12. 35:18 son of my right hand. Benjamin, "son of sorrow" to his mother, but "son of my right hand" to his father, becomes thus a double type of Christ. As Ben-oni He was the suffering One because of whom a sword pierced His mother's heart ( LUKE  2:35 ); as Benjamin, head to the warrior tribe ( G
