ENDNOTES:
[1] The writer has little doubt that the particular “mountain” upon which Isaac was bound to the altar was Calvary itself. Here, the mountain is not denominated, it was “one of the mountains” in the “land of Moriah” (it is significant that “Moriah” means “the Lord will provide”), and Calvary was one of the mountains in the land of Moriah. What seems to identify Isaac’s mountain with Calvary is not only that the marvelous fullness and accuracy of this type would seem to require it, but the fact that in Gen_22:14 this mount on which Isaac was offered Is distinctly termed “the mount of the Lord.” Surely this establishes it, for what other save Calvary could be thus named!
