Commentary: Above on the third day a cross was formed with day1 + day2 + day3 + the 4th step result: Sacrificial offering of Isaac and he lived.
It is translated that the sacrificial offering of Isaac is a prophecy of Jesus Christ sacrificed on the Cross of YHWH God, who lived. After Jesus was crucified, he was buried in the grave. Then through the cross there was day1 + day2 + day3 + the 4th-step-result. Jesus rose up and lived forever.
Isaac is marked 77 as the second Patriarch on the Family of four Patriarchs. (Cipher 11). His number comes from is a difference of 14 years (7+7 distilled to 77) between Abraham’s age at the birth of Ishmael 86 (Gen 16:16) and 100 at the birth of Isaac (Gen 21:5). Jesus’ signature number is also 77, who fulfilled the prophecy of the sacrificial offering of Isaac with his true sacrifice on the cross.
