Story of Abraham and Isaac teaches, "what it means to fear God And it means this: To fear God is to do whatever He asks of us, when He asks.".

Abraham’s ultimate call from God was to sacrifice his son Isaac. God had promised to bring him descendants “as numerous as the sands on the seashore” through Isaac.

And some immediately wondered whether what Netanyahu is thinking about these days, in private, in his heart of hearts, is Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice.

Isaac is the fulfillment of God’s promise, the long-awaited and almost-despaired-of biological heir and heir of the covenant. Now God asks Abraham to sacrifice him.

In the sacrifice of Isaac, Abraham called G^d’s bluff. His game of chicken paid off. He trusted enough in G^d to take the risk. And his trust became known.
