KEY TAKEAWAYS:

Abraham, the two wives, and the two sons represent spiritual realities; and their relationships teach us important lessons.Ishmael was Abraham’s son by proxy, according to the flesh; Isaac was his son by promise, a living witness to divine grace.The advent of Christ and the coming of His Spirit have inaugurated the “last days.” However, we must not collapse the future restoration God has promised into some kind of ethereal, realized eschatology. The heavenly Jerusalem is still above; it has not yet descended to earth. Only as we look forward in prayerful expectancy to the completion of God’s plan for the ages are we enabled to take our places on the front lines of the cosmic battle raging all around us in this “present evil age.”
