Awesome...and confirmation of the insight the Holy Spirit gave me. When Abraham is offering Isaac and he is asked, "Where is the sacrifice?" Abraham answered, "God shall provide HIMSELF a sacrifice. Assuring words given to us in the kjv for our ears.
The only one who could keep a covenant is the Lord God Almighty, God walked through for Himself and also for Abraham, like God shook hands with Himself to seal the deal. Just as Jesus stepped into the gap for us, He lived the perfect unblemished life and then paid the price for our breach of the covenant. So, important! Thank you for explaining it more. I've heard this was something that Hanarobi instituted, I have taught this very lesson in my Sunday school class, I love it that the Lord was standing in for fallible man before Jesus and again through Jesus's finished work on the cross.
