Location: Mount Moriah. Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac
God wants to remind us that Isaac is God’s gift and idea,
Introduces to us that God is the provider of His own sacrifice,
Introduces us to the concept that ultimately His own son will be the perfect sacrifice. God's perfect son will be Jesus and will be the sacrificial lamb as well.

Location : Paddan Aram Jacob Typology Part 2
Acts 3:25, it talks about how the families of the Earth'll be blessed.
This is referred to as the Abrahamic Covenant. InGenesis 27:41‐28:22, it talks about how even though Jacob had to escape from Esau and married Leah and Rachel.

God used Jacob’s escape as a chance to fulfill his promise with Abraham.

Jacob Typology Part 1
In Gen. 25:19-34, it says that God blessed Jacob through a lot of things. He allowed Jacob to get Esau's birthright so Jacob would run away to marry Leah and Rachel and his sons formed the 12 tribes of Israel and it connects to the New Testament because in Acts 13:21 it says.. God gave the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of 40 years. This shows that God fulfills his promises in ways you don't realize will be good for you. -

Personal Reflection Location: Hong Kong
Genesis 37:18-36, it talks about how Jacob gets sold. Jacob felt like he had nothing left, his Joseph was gone. But if it didn't happen, his family would have died of famine. Right now I think nothing is working out in my life, like some of my friends betraying me, stress and worrying about the future,and it feels horrible.God will somehow fix whatever’s going wrong and bring some good out of it.We should also trust God that he has a plan and he knows what’s best for us. -
Location: Northern West Bank. How can we see God's covenant with Abraham being fulfilled today?
In Genesis 16:9-13, it says that everyone would be against Ishmael, and his descendants will live in hostility to the descendants of Isaac. We can see that now. Last month, This news article talks about different attacks of Palestines and Israelis. A Palestinian gunman shot at soldiers and civilians and killing two people. God says that they will have conflicts which each other and they’ll be fighting because Palenstines and Israelis both have connections to the Holy Land, so there is conflict. -
