It was testing time!

Isaac, the long promised miracle child, had been born to Abraham and Sarah, but now was about this new father face dilemma beyond anything he could ever imagine.

“Abraham,” the Lord called. He answered, “Behold, here I am” (Genesis 22:1) God then give this divine directive: Take now the Son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou loved, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burn offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee {verse2)

Whoa! What an unexpected shock being asked to offer his son as a sacrifice! And the designated place, Mountain Moriah, has special significance since it the location many biblical archaeologists believe is the places were Jesus died at Calvary.
