In Genesis 18-22, we can see a few themes. The arrival of "three MEN"- or were they more than men? Angels? Abraham blesses them with a meal, and God blesses Abraham with a son: "A meal for a son." We can't outgive God. We also see that Abraham pleads for mercy, for at least 10 righteous people in Sodom, but were there even that many? And finally, we read the words: "God will provide himself the Lamb" a substitute for Isaac, our substitute as well, Yeshua our Messiah,
