Genesis 22:3
So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place (The-LORD-Will-Provide) afar off. And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.” So Abraham took the wood (the cross) of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he (the father) took the fire (fire of judgement) in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.
Genesis 22:7
But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
Genesis 22:13
Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram (the lamb) caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram (the lamb), and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.
Remarks: lamb = Jesus
Jesus who knew no sins became our sins offering at the place "The-LORD-Will-Provide"Amen.
On the third day when Jesus rose from the dead The-LORD-Will-Provide us. Amen
And the Divine Exchange was done. Between the ram and Isaac. Between Jesus and us.

Abraham's Faith
Genesis 22
Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!”And he said, “Here I am.” Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”
So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.” So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.
But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together. Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.” And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide; as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD (YAHWEH) it shall be provided.”
Remarks: Abraham believed (faith) in God for providing himself the lamb for offering and not killing his own son Isaac. Because Abraham believed (faith) God will establish his covenant with Isaac.
Genesis 17:19
Then God said: “No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him.

Abraham's Righteousness
Genesis 15:3
Then Abram said, “Look, You have given me no offspring; indeed one born in my house is my heir!” And behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “This one shall not be your heir, but one who will come from your own body shall be your heir.” Then He brought him outside and said, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them.” And He said to him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed (faith) in the LORD, and GOD accounted it to him for righteousness.
Genesis 17
When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD (YAHWEH) appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless . And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly.” Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: “As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. I will make you exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come from you. And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you in their generations, for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and your descendants after you. Also I give to you and your descendants after you the land in which you are a stranger, all the land of Canaan, as an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
Remarks: Abraham failed to keep the ten commandments because he lied twice about his wife with two kings. God said to Abraham; walk before Me and be blameless. And GOD accounted him for righteousness by believing.

The Divine Exchange
At the cross, Jesus
became ugly so that we might have His beauty
was rejected we might be accepted
suffered pain and sorrow we might have joy and be happy
was despised we might be esteemed
carried all sicknesses and diseases we might have healing and health
suffered anguish and despair we might have peace and hope
was judged and punished we might be forgiven and justified
had no one to speak on His behalf forever we might have a perfect High Priest who speaks on our behalf in heaven

His Willingness
Luke 5:12
And it happened when He was in a certain city, that behold, a man who was full of leprosy saw Jesus; and he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.
Then He put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately the leprosy left him.
Luke 5:17
Now it happened on a certain day, as He was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by (non Grace preachers), who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was present to heal them (not the Pharisees and teachers of the law but the sick).
Then behold, men brought on a bed a man who was paralyzed, whom they sought to bring in and lay before Him.
And when they could not find how they might bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the housetop and let him down with his bed through the tiling into the midst before Jesus.
When Jesus saw their faith (of believing Jesus), He said to him, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.
luke 8:49
While He was still speaking, someone came from the ruler of the synagogue' s house, saying to him, "Your daughter is dead. Do not trouble the Teacher. But when Jesus heard it, He answered him, saying, “Do not be afraid; only believe, and she will be made well." When He came into the house, He permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and mother of the girl. Now all wept and mourned for her; but He said, “Do not weep; she is not dead, but sleeping. And they ridiculed Him, knowing that she was dead. But He put them all outside, took her by the hand and called, saying, “Little girl, arise.” Then her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And He commanded that she be given something to eat. ( Jesus even care for the girl hunger).
Luke 13:14
But the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath; and he said to the crowd, “There are six days on which men ought to work; therefore come and be healed on them, and not on the Sabbath day.” The Lord then answered him and said, “Hypocrite! (scolding the ruler) Does not each one of you on the Sabbath loose his ox or donkey from the stall, and lead it away to water it? So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham (believing in Jesus "her faith"), whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?” (Jesus can't wait for her to be healed immediately).And when He said these things, all His adversaries were put to shame; and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by Him.

Healing
Mark 4:16
Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” So Jesus went with him, and a great multitude followed Him and thronged Him.
Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians. She had spent all that she had and was no better, but rather grew worse. When she heard about Jesus, she came behind Him in the crowd and touched His garment. For she said, “If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well.”(her faith) Immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the affliction.
And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?” But His disciples said to Him, “You see the multitude thronging You, and You say, Who touched Me?." And He looked around to see her who had done this thing. But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth. And He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be healed of your affliction.”
While He was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house who said, “Your daughter is dead. Why trouble the Teacher any further?” As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, He said to the ruler of the synagogue, “Do not be afraid; only believe.”
The woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years focus on Jesus (the Healer) more than her sickness and she was healed (her faith)
Only by believing Jesus (the right object) all things are possible even for bringing back the dead
ELOHIM the God who create the universe

God's Names
John 19:41
Where they crucified Jesus, and two others with Him,
one on either side, and Jesus in the center.
Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross.
And the writing was;
JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS
means (YOD, HEY, VAV, HEY) YAHWEH
Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, Do not write, "The King of the Jews", but chief priests said write "I am the King of The Jews." (to change the meaning)
Pilate answered, "what i have written, i have written."
Remarks: God's names
God the creator of heaven and earth, strength, power, and justice. ELOHIM
God's heart, gracious, loving, caring. YAHWEH

Self Righteousness
Luke Chapter 18
Now a certain ruler asked Jesus, saying, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
So Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God.
You know the commandments: "Do not commit adultery,' "Do not murder,' "Do not steal,' "Do not bear false witness,' "Honor your father and your mother."
And he said, "All these things I have kept (the law ten commandments) from my youth."
So when Jesus heard these things, He said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute to the poor (repent from self works and self righteous), and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."
But when he heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was very rich.
And when Jesus saw that he became very sorrowful, He said, "How hard it is for those who have riches (self righteous) to enter the kingdom of God!
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich (self righteous) man to enter the kingdom of God."
And those who heard it said, "Who then can be saved?"
But He said, "The things (keeping the law ten commandments) which are impossible with men are possible with God."

Increasing Faith
(Romans 10.17; NKJV)
In the days of the Apostle Paul, many people were illiterate. They would have relied on the preacher to read and interpret the Holy Scriptures. Paul writes: ‘So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.’

Hebrews 10:12
But this Man (Jesus), after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God...
For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified (believers)
Romans 5:17
For if by the one man's offense death reigned through the one (Adam), much more those who (believers) receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ

The Truth
2 Peter 3:11
For prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. But there were also false prophets among you, who will secretly bring in destructive doctrine, even denying the lord (grace) who bought (redeem) them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.
John 1:17
For the law was given by Moses, but (grace) and truth came by Jesus Christ.

The Ark
When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, fallen angels saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose and nephilims (giants) were born.
God saw how great wickedness and full of violence had become and decided to wipe nephilims from the face of the earth. However, one righteous man who’s blood is pure among all the people of that time, Noah, found favor in God's eyes. With very specific instructions, God told Noah to build an ark for him and his family in preparation for a catastrophic flood that would destroy every nephilims on earth. So make yourself an ark of cypress wood; make rooms in it and coat it with pitch inside and out. This is how you are to build it: The ark is to be 450 feet long, 75 feet wide and 45 feet high. Make a roof for it and finish the ark to within 18 inches of the top. Put a door in the side of the ark and make lower, middle and upper decks.
The ark represents Jesus, before building the ark firstly Noah needs to cut off trees from its life. Jesus was cut off with God for him to save us. Coat it with pitch inside and out, Jesus was beaten, crucified and nailed. Put a door in the side of the ark, on the cross Jesus was pierce at the side. Make lower, middle and upper decks, Jesus saves our body, soul and mind.
God also instructed Noah to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, along with every kind of food to be stored as food for the animals and his family while on the ark. Noah obeyed everything God commanded him to do.
After they entered the ark, rain fell on the earth for a period of forty days and nights. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days, and all nephilims on the face of the earth was wiped out. As the waters receded, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Noah and his family continued to wait for almost eight more months while the surface of the earth dried out.
Finally after an entire year, Then God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark. Immediately, he built an altar and worshiped the God with burnt offerings from some of the clean animals (Jesus sacrifices). God smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth."

The ark represents Jesus, before building the ark firstly Noah needs to cut off trees from its life. Jesus was cut off with God for him to save us. Coat it with pitch inside and out, Jesus was beaten, crucified and nailed. Put a door in the side of the ark, on the cross Jesus was pierce at the side. Make lower, middle and upper decks, Jesus saves our body, soul and mind.
God also instructed Noah to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, along with every kind of food to be stored as food for the animals and his family while on the ark. Noah obeyed everything God commanded him to do.
After they entered the ark, rain fell on the earth for a period of forty days and nights. The waters flooded the earth for a hundred and fifty days, and all nephilims on the face of the earth was wiped out. As the waters receded, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat. Noah and his family continued to wait for almost eight more months while the surface of the earth dried out.
Finally after an entire year, Then God said to Noah, "Come out of the ark. Immediately, he built an altar and worshiped the God with burnt offerings from some of the clean animals (Jesus sacrifices). God smelled the pleasing aroma and said in his heart: "Never again will I curse the ground because of man, even though every inclination of his heart is evil from childhood. And never again will I destroy all living creatures, as I have done.
Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: "I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth."
And God said, "This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth."
So God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant I have established between me and all life on the earth."
