Binding of Isaac - Christian responses
This story is mentioned in the New Testament Book of Hebrews among many acts of faith recorded in the Old Testament:
17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises offered up his only begotten son, 18 of whom it was said, "In Isaac your seed shall be called," 19 concluding that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead, from which he also received him in a figurative sense. (Hebrews 11:17-19, NKJV)
The majority of Christian Biblical commentators hold this episode to be an archetype of the way that God works; this event is seen as foreshadowing God's plan to have his own son, Jesus, die on the cross as a substitute for us, much like the ram God provided for Abraham.
Interestingly, there is some conjecture that Moriah should be identified not with Mount Zion and the Temple Mount but with a peak to the northwest of the classical city and Zion. Argument for this include the avoidance of the city of Jerusalem for the sacrifice and that such sacrifice was traditionally set for the peak of the mountain which was not Zion but a separate peak on the same ridge which we now identify with Golgotha. In which case Abraham's naming of the place Jehovah Jireh saying "in the Mount of the Lord it shall be seen" contains a foreshadowing of the crucifixion in place as well as substitution. It would have meant that the Father of the Jews, Abraham, would have offered his "only son" (the son according to the promise of God, Gen 17:19) in the same place that God the Father would offer his Son for atonement of the sins of man.
