Even though he was willing to sacrifice his only son, he knew that YHWH would provide a substitution. Not only did YHWH provide that substitution for Isaac, but exactly forty Jubilee cycles later, he provided his very own Son, Yeshua, to make atonement for all mankind. Then to make sure we all got the point, the final year of that fortieth Jubilee cycle saw the last atonement sacrifice in the temple of Jerusalem. Zane lightly tapped his pencil on desk. Incredible, he thought. Forty Jubilees from the first "Lamb of God" provided in substitution for Isaac until the last "Lamb of God" provided for all mankind. The words of John the Baptist took on new meaning for Zane: "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." {John 1:29 }
