Looking for a man to establish His righteousness on earth God chose a dweller of Ur, Abraham, the first of the three patriarchs of Israel, who must go through trials. Thousands and thousands of the earth population get pregnant every month. Not so after decades of his marriage to Sarah. Even when they eventually gave birth to the promised Isaac, God came to Abraham in Genesis 22:2, “And he said, Take now thy son, thine only [son] Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” The fear Abraham had for the Creator was an awesome respect; Abraham did not even as much as question the LORD’s request.
