The Patriarchs, J G Bellett

Enoch - Noah - Abraham - Isaac - Jacob - Joseph - Job - The Canticles - Heaven and Earth - God called Abraham from the world, from kindred, country, and father´s house, separating him to Himself and to His promises. But Isaac was already as one chosen and called and sactified, while in the house of his father. He was at home from his birth, and he was there wit God, having been born according to promise, and through an energy that quickened the dead; and in all these things he represented sonship, as Abraham had represented election. In Isaac we see that family that is "born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God", and who stand in liberty; as the apostle says, "Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise." We are Abrham´s seed, so many Isaacs, children of the freewoman, or in the adoption, if we be Christ´s
