In Genesis 23:1-20; 25:7-11 we read of Abraham purchasing a piece of land for a burial for Sarah. Then he himself dies and is buried in this place. This is significant because this is the only piece of land in Canaan that Abraham ever owned even though God had promised to give him the land. When, then, will Abraham receive what was promised? In the resurrection.

In Revelation 17:1-18 Pastor Grasso explains the significance of the beast on which Babylon rides. The beast and Babylon have an alliance in the fight against the people of God, which will be abandoned in the end. With the description of the beast in Revelation 17, we are introduced to the concept of a final antichrist who will arise to make war on the saints before the last day.

In Genesis 22:20-24; 25:1-6, 12-18 there are a number of genealogies recorded. Many see genealogies and skip them thinking they are unimportant. The genealogies of Genesis have a theological purpose. Here we see that the genealogies highlight the surprising ways the promises of God are fulfilled which points to their greater fulfillment in Christ.

In Revelation 16:1-21 the bowls of God's wrath are poured out. In this final expression of the judgment of God the dragon, beast, and false prophet, the counterfeit Trinity, are overthrown. As was prophesied throughout the OT, there will be one last final battle where the enemies of God's people are put down once and for all. Such is the significance of the battle of Armageddon.

In Genesis 22:1-19, and particularly verses 15-19, we see the confirmation of the climactic promise made to Abraham: the blessing of the nations. Here at the end of the Abrahamic narrative, at the climactic point of the climactic narrative we are told that the nations will be blessed, but with one new addition: it will be in Abraham's singular seed that this will happen. This singular seed is Christ, the Savior of the world, in whom all the nations of the earth are blessed.

In Revelation 16:1-21 we read of the record of the bowls of God's judgment. What do these bowls signify? Pastor Grasso explains their connection to the trumpets and the way in which these bowls point to the final judgment.

In Genesis 22:1-19 God tests Abraham by telling him to sacrifice his own son as a burnt offering. When the Angel of the LORD stops Abraham at the last moment, the story does not end. Abraham then sees a ram caught in a thicket and recognizes that God has provided a substitute for his son. The ram as a substitute for Isaac provides a fundamental principle for atonement, namely, that it is substitutionary. This is the same thing that we see with the fulfillment of that to which the binding of Isaac points: the death of Christ.

In Revelation 15:1-8 those who conquer the beast learn to sing the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb. These are those who will be blessed on the last day despite their sufferings in this life. In contrast, those who bowl the knee to the world, who in this sense submit to the beast, will face the judgment of the bowls.

In Genesis 22:1-19 we come to the great climax of the Abrahamic narrative. God tests Abraham by telling him to sacrifice the child of promise. How does Abraham respond? In faith. Abraham's faith entails obedience of the most difficult kind, but Abraham's faith also entails hope in the resurrection. This is because all the promises of God for Abraham are related to Isaac. Therefore, Isaac must die because he is required for sacrifice, but he must live because of the promises. How do these things go together? The resurrection from the dead.

In Revelation 14:14-20 the final judgment is described under the figure of two harvests: a wheat harvest and a grape harvest. The first emphasizes the division of the world into two groups at the end of the age. The second emphasizes God's wrath against the ungodly. Though many teach that God being love means there is no place for wrath, the Bible here teaches something different: God is furious with sin and especially those who reject the gospel.
