Bible Question (short): Genesis 22:14, "it will be seen".

Question (full): Comments on the forum recently showed an interest in how much we should spiritualize this passage of Scripture. The story certainly shows that God will provide; He provided the lamb for Abraham.

The question is, how much should we spiritualize the story to show that it was prophesizing about the Lamb of God.

I noticed today for the first time that "provide", or I would suppose "provide for" is literally "see". Thus Genesis 22:8 can be interpretted as saying, "And Abraham said, 'God will **see Himself [as] the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.' So the two of them walked on together."

So the questions which the passage bring to my mind is: How much is the Lamb a lamb? How much is God a god (in the image of God) How much is the Man a man? How much is the Angel an angel? How much is the Spirit a spirit?

I see Galatians 3 as a companion Scripture.
