Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
today's needs. Why then, do some of us expect yesterday's
portion of heavenly manna, the word of God to keep
us through today's challenges. On this program, we are going
to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.
Welcome to Your Daily Portion with your host, author speaker,
Elle David Harris.
Speaker 2: Good morning, good morning, good morning. It is Tuesday, April eight,
twenty twenty five. Hello, my name is Elle David Harris.
I am your host, and this is your Daily Portion
where we give you God's word every single day, and
today is no exception. We are continuing in our lessons
study series how to Study Bible Prophecy, and our caption

into that in just a moment, but first I'd like

Thank you for giving us this new day and for
the privilege that you have given us to come together
in this fashion, not just to come together, not just

merry way now to be able to connect with you
in the congregation of people who are seeking your face
all over the world. Please give us the fullness of
your spirit now in Jesus name, I pray, Amen and
Amen again. So we scratched the surface of this discussion
of Isaac and God telling him commanding him to sacrifice
or to give his son as a sacrifice. And this
is at Mount Mariah from the Bible Book of Genesis,
chapter twenty two. I wish I had the time to
really deal with it, but the Bible does say that
Abraham almost said Moses, but Abraham fully believed God. He
fully went to fulfill the mission that God had given
him without regard for his own feelings, without regard for
his desire to keep his son Isaac safe and alive,
these without regard for how Siarah might consider it, or
even the men that with him. And the Bible says
that as Abraham and Isaac are on their way to
the point. Now I'm leaving out a lot, but as
they are on their way to the point of the sacrifice,
the place where they are to actually sacrifice the lamp. See,
Isaac didn't know at the beginning of the journey that
he was going to be quote the sacrifice, or that
was the intent, you see. And so now it is
time when Isaac, he's not a little baby, by the way,
he could have resisted his father. But he says, father,
I see that we have a sacrifice. And of course
by extension you would know that he is seeing that
they have the place prepared for the sacrifice, even the altar.
He says, we have the sacrifice, I mean, not the sacrifice.
I apologize. I know some people are like, what did
you just say? No, we have the place of sacrifice,
have the wood, but where is the lamb? Like, where
is the actual sacrifice? Let me say it again for
those who missed it. Isaac, who could have resisted his father,
is going up the mountain to give a sacrifice. He
doesn't know he's going to quote be the sacrifice. He
sees the place of sacrifice, the altar, he sees the
wood so that the sacrifice could be burned. He sees
everything except the most important part, the sacrifice. And then
the Bible says that Abraham said the Lord will provide
himself a sacrifice or a lamb. And the Bible says,
just as as he is, Abraham is preparing Isaac as
the sacrifice. The son is about to be the sacrifice.
I think somebody's listening to me. The son is about
to be the sacrifice. The Bible says that as Abra
is about to do wow, I don't even know how
to say it, because I don't want to be disrespectful
to God. But he is about to do what God
said to do. The Bible says that he hears a
voice from heaven, and the voice says, Abraham, do not
sacrifice your son. Don't do it. In different words, don't
do it. And then the Bible says that in the
moment that he was about to give his sacrifice. He
does hear the voice. Also he sees that there is
a ram. There is a ram that is caught in
a thicket, that's thorns or briars. So the lamb has
the thicket or briars catching its horns. Where are the
horns on its head? And on the head Now of
this this sacrifice, there is a crown, I think somebody's
listening now, a crown of thorns. And the voice says,
I have now provided. This is what the voice is
really saying. You see, when we are giving our best,
we are giving our all, it is still insufficient. And
therefore this is what makes the sacrifice Jesus Christ the
lamb so important. Behold the lamb of God which taketh
away the sins of the world. So even if Isaac
had been sacrificed, it wouldn't have served anything for anything.
No sins could have been expiated, No sins could have
been forgiven, No no forgiveness could have come as a
result of Isaac's death. But Jesus, somebody go ahead and
type in the chat. But Jesus, So, Jesus, Now the
true Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
the world, is now being sacrificed in symbol on Mount Moriah.
So now we can see in the future that the
true Lamb of God, Jesus Christ, will be actually sacrificed
on Mount Calvary. I wish I had the time. And
so really the question, the question where is the lamb
for a burnt sacrifice sets up divine provision. And then
we see the principle of substitution, and so someone has
to die for the sin. And in this case, now
we are seeing that Jesus Christ is the only one
who is who is worthy. He's the only one whose
life is powerful enough, as he took on human form
to become the substitute. And we now have in you
in the times of God's people back then the sacradolal
system or the sacrificial system, and now they are expecting
the true Messiah who was to come. Daniel and many
of the other prophets foretold it right. And so number two,
there is a progressive revelation through the Old Testam, a
progressive revelation through the Old Testament about this same lamb,
and how this lamb becomes our ability to escape eternal condemnation.
And so we see in the Passover the Passover in
Exodus chapter twelve and verse three, take to them every
man a lamb. And then of course God teaches his
people how to apply the blood in the situation where
death was coming. Death was coming to those who were
not covered by the lamb. And so we begin to
see more. And then there is a prophetic description. In
Isaiah chapter fifty three and verse seven. He is brought
as a lamb, speaking of Jesus, but in prophetic terms,
the Messiah. He has brought as a lamb to the slaughter.
So we see a prophetic description, and then we see
the temple service, the continual burnt offering. I wish I
had the time to really deal with how that continue.
You will evening to the morning and morning to the evening.
Sacrifice really figured into this thing. We need to go
into our community and talk about it. From Numbers chapter
twenty eight and verse three. And then comes the answer,
the real answer, not the one only given on Mariah,
not just that one, but now in the voice of
John the Baptist, behold the lamb of God which taketh
away the sins of the world. And finally, finally, the
revelation and the revelation and Revelation, chapter five and verse twelve.
The only one worthy to open up the seals that
were represented there is the Lamb of God. Why because
He gave himself for us. Take it a great day.
Thanks for joining us listening. Friends.
Speaker 1: Always remember we cannot live by bread alone, but by
every word that comes from the mouth of God. This
