Finding Messiah in V’Avraham zaqen
24:1-67 {p} The servant finds a bride for Isaac, the promised seed
We have seen that Isaac, as the son of the promise, is an Old Testament type for Messiah, the Promised Seed. In Gen 24, Abraham (the Father) sends his servant (the Holy Spirit) to search for the bride (the Church) of Isaac (the Promised Seed, the Son). This event occurs after the “death and resurrection” of the Promised Seed in Gen 22. In the end, the Holy Spirit, I mean, the servant, brings the Bride to the Son, as the Son goes out to meet them.
