Temple Mount in Jerusalem. A thousand years before the birth of Christ, it was the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite. And a thousand years before that, it was the site on Mount Moriah where God provided a ram in the thicket for Father Abraham.4 Those events are separated by thousands of years, but they are connected by geography and theology. At the very place where God provided a ram to take Isaac’s place, God would provide the Lamb of God to take our place. One event foreshadowed the other by thousands of years.
