Finding Messiah in Triennial V’yasaf Avraham
And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. Gen 25:5
Abraham had other sons, as this chapter makes clear. Ishmael by Hagar was Abraham’s firstborn, then Isaac by Sarah, then six more sons by Keturah. And since in Gen 25:6, “concubines” is plural, there are other sons as well which are not named.
But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country. Gen 25:6
Abraham, as a prophetic type of the Father, caused only one son, Isaac, as a prophetic type for the only begotten Son, the son of the promise, to inherit all he had, just as Messiah as the only begotten Son is the inheritor of all that is the Father’s.
I will declare the decree: YHVH has said unto Me, “You are My Son; this day have I begotten You. Ask of Me, and I shall give You the nations for Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession.” Psa 2:7-8
