得窥天境

得窥天境，须看透红尘万丈；人神相通，只凭借灵犀一缕。信靠耶稣，此外路路是绝望；坚定不移，万里迢迢聚天堂。

B. Abraham and Isaac (18-22)

The decisive action of the Abraham cycle takes place surrounding the birth of the son of promise. Surrogate son Ishmael and dependent nephew Lot were marginalized and made satellites of the ancestral orbit, while true son Isaac emerged from the matriarchal womb to take his destined position. But all threats to the promise did not automatically vanish. Indeed, the promise faced its greatest challenge just at the point that fulfillment seemed sure.

1866 -- CGFA
