The Revelation Land

The Revelation Land

Genesis 22.

Jerusalem is built on Mount Moriah. Surrounding Jerusalem is the land of Moriah. Moriah is the land of the holy city.

Remember, In Genesis 22, God gave Abraham instructions, leave go to Moriah, take your son and slay him there.

So what exactly is the land of Moriah? What does it mean?

Moriah comes from two Hebrew words, the first means, the seen, the visible, the shown, or, the revealed.

The other Hebrew word is Yah, the name of God.

So Moriah means, the revealed of God.

The geographical location of the Garden of Eden would be in the land of Moriah. Abraham was told to take his son Isaac to the land of Moriah and sacrifice him there. The land of Moriah is where Joseph desired to be buried, Joseph said, take my body away from pagans, take it to Moriah. Abraham purchased land to be buried there, his entire family was buried in Moriah.

-They did not want to be buried in the land of corruption, but in the land of Moriah, the land of Canaan, the land of revelation, the land of milk and honey.

Solomons’s Temple was built in Moriah. The Temple Mount, Mount Zion, and the Garden of Gethsemane or (Olives).

And remember, Jesus was crucified in the land of Moriah.

Jesus was buried in that land, rouse from the dead in Moriah, ascended, and he will come back to the land of Moriah when he splits the Eastern sky.

Moriah is the land of revelation, the place where God will reveal himself.

We will look verse by verse from, Genesis 22.

Genesis 22.1-2NIV “Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. 2 Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”

Remember, Abraham was 100, Sara was 90, when their son was born. It was a miraculous birth, they named him Isaac, which means, “laughter.” (Both Abraham and Sara laughed a lot in, Moriah).

This testimony needed to be shared: We all laughed, because of this miracle conception, -the birth of Isaac! -God is unbelievable, isn't He?

Genesis 22.3-5NIV Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. -We will worship and then we will come back to you.”

Abraham loaded the donkey and prepared the wood. -Isaac will carry the wood!

This historical document states, Abraham spoke up, and told his two servants, “Stay here, me and Isaac will return after worship.”

* Sounds like a New Testament believer, sounds like someone that is blood bought, someone that has full knowledge that they are in Jesus Christ!

Jesus states in, John 15.4-6NIV “Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. 5 “I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.”

Do you trust God, or do you think now you are God? Do your own thing now that you’re saved?

A young woman brought her fiancé home to meet her parents for thanksgiving dinner. After dinner, her mother told her father to find out about the young man. The father invited the fiancé to his study for a talk. "So what are your plans?" the father asked the young man. "I am a biblical scholar," he replied. "A Biblical scholar. Hmmm," the father said. "Admirable, but what will you do to provide a nice house for my daughter to live in?” "I will study," the young man replied, "and God will provide for us.” "And how will you buy her a beautiful engagement ring, such as she deserves?" asked the father. "I will concentrate on my studies," the young man replied, "God will provide for us.” "And children?" asked the father. "How will you support children?” "Don’t worry, sir, God will provide," replied the fiancé. The conversation proceeded like this, and each time the father questioned, the young idealist insisted that God would provide. Later, the mother asked, "How did it go, Honey?" The father answered, "He has no job and no plans, and he thinks I’m God!"
