Good Friday Flashcards
What is common between the passages in Genesis and the remaining New Testament passages?
Genesis 22:1-2
[1]And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
[2]And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
Hebrews 11:17
[17]By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
John 1:14,18
[14]And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
[18]No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 3:16
[16]For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
1 John 4:9
[9]In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Mark 1:11
[11]And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mark 9:7
[7]And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.
Issac and Jesus are both referred to as “the only begotten son” that the father loves.
Why would Abraham say he was coming back with the lad knowing he was supposed to sacrifice him? Was he lying?
Genesis 22:3-5
[3]And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
[4]Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
[5]And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
Genesis 17:15-21
[15]And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.
[16]And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.
[17]Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?
[18]And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
[19]And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him.
[20]And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation.
[21]But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Abraham had faith in God which was credited back to him as righteousness. (Genesis 15:6). With that being the case, it would’ve been more likely that he believed in the covenant God made with him in Genesis17:19,21 to be fulfilled through Issac and his seed. If he didn’t return with Issac there would be no covenant. We don’t know what miracle he believed was going to happen on that mountain, but it’s more likely he did believe he would return with Issac.
Hebrews 11:17-19
[17]By faith Abraham, when he was tried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his only begotten son,
[18]Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:
[19]Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he received him in a figure.
Abraham was told he has to sacrifice his son and the boy has to die. Abraham makes preparations then was told it was a test. Figuratively speaking, what day was Abraham’s only begotten son raised from death?
Genesis 22:1-4
[1]And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
[2]And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
[3]And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
[4]Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
On the third day.
What is similar between these two verses?
Genesis 22:6
[6]And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
John 19:17
[17]And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:
Both Issac and Jesus carried the wood to where they would be sacrificed.
What is similar between the verses in Genesis and Matthew?
What are horns symbolic of?
Genesis 22:7-8,13
[7]And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
[8]And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
[13]And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
Matthew 27:29
[29]And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
Similarities are both Jesus and the ram had thorns/thickets stuck in their heads.
According to Revelation 17:12, a horn represents a king and his kingdom. Jesus was called the ‘ King of the Jews’. But he is also called the ‘King of the Gentiles/Nations’. Hence, two horns of the ram, but also the Lamb.
Revelation 17:12
[12]And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
John 1:29,36
[29]The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
[36]And looking upon Jesus as he walked, he saith, Behold the Lamb of God!
What are the similarities between the following verses in Exodus and Mark?
Exodus 10:21-23
[21]And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt.
[22]And Moses stretched forth his hand toward heaven; and there was a thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days:
[23]They saw not one another, neither rose any from his place for three days: but all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Exodus 12:5,11,13,29
[5]Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
[11]And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover.
[13]And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:29
[29]And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Matthew 27:45
[45]Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Mark 15:33-37
[33]And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
[34]And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
[35]And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
[36]And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether Elias will come to take him down.
[37]And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost.
In sequential order:..
1) Moses stretches his hands and caused darkness over Egypt for 3 days.
Before Jesus dies darkness falls over the land for 3 hours. (12-3pm)
2) Moses orders the sacrifice of a Lamb and the blood be placed over their doors to prevent death. This is known as the Passover.
Jesus dies on the cross as the Lamb of God during the Passover. Whoever believes in him shall not see death. Ie., eucharist.
3) All firstborn of the egyptians die.
Jesus dies as the firstborn only begotten son
When cross referencing the following verses, why did it go dark during the crucifixion?
Amos 8:9-10
[9]And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord GOD, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
[10]And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
Matthew 27:45
[45]Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour.
Mark 15:33
[33]And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
It went dark because it was a sign of the judgement from God being poured out for us that was taken in by Christ on our behalf.
Why did the darkness dissipate at the ninth hour?
Why did Jesus say to the Father, “why have you forsaken me”?
Mark 15:33-34
[33]And when the sixth hour was come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour.
[34]And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
Psalms 22:1-4
1 My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my roaring?
[2]O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent.
[3]But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
[4]Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
John 11:20-22,41-44
[20]Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met him: but Mary sat still in the house.
[21]Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.
[22]But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.
[41]Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
[42]And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
[43]And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
[44]And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
Psalms 22:23-24
[23]Ye that fear the LORD, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all ye the seed of Israel.
[24]For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
Acts 3:1
[1]Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
Jesus saying, “why have you forsaken me” was a prayer he was reciting from Psalms 22:1. In context, it was meant to convey as a prayer to God that he has suffered, his blood has paid the debt of sin and it was time for him to return home. He in no way said those words from disparity or abandonment. His prayer concluded all the work he had done. God answered Him by accepting His sacrifice which dissipated the darkness, then he died.
The significant of the ninth hour (3pm) is that this is the hour that evening prayers and sacrifices are made in the temple. He was acting as the High Priest offering his sacrifice (himself) to God while praying Psalms 22.
Psalms 22:16-18
[16]For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.
[17]I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.
[18]They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture.
Psalms 22:4-8
[4]Our fathers trusted in thee: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
[5]They cried unto thee, and were delivered: they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
[6]But I am a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
[7]All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying,
[8]He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.
Historically, crucifixion was later invented roughly 500 years after David wrote the Psalms. It has yet to be discovered by critical scholars of these particular events ever happening to David. The widely held belief is that the divine Holy Spirit inspired David to say the words which came from the Son.
John 19:23-24
[23]Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also his coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
[24]They said therefore among themselves, Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be: that the scripture might be fulfilled, which saith, They parted my raiment among them, and for my vesture they did cast lots. These things therefore the soldiers did.
Matthew 27:38-44
[38]Then were there two thieves crucified with him, one on the right hand, and another on the left.
[39]And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,
[40]And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.
[41]Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,
[42]He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.
[43]He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.
[44]The thieves also, which were crucified with him, cast the same in his teeth.
