I and the lad will go yonder and worship and come again unto you. 6And Abraham took the wood of the sacrifice and laid it upon Isaac his son, and took fire in his hand and a knife. And they went both of them together. 7Then spake Isaac unto Abraham his father and said: My father? And he answered here am I my son. And he said: See here is fire and wood, but where is the sheep for sacrifice? 8And Abraham said: my son, God will provide him a sheep for sacrifice. So went they both together. 9And when they came unto the place which God shewed him, Abraham made an altar there and dressed the wood, and bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, above upon the wood. 10And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to have killed his son. 11Then the angel of the LORD called unto him from heaven saying: Abraham, Abraham?. And he answered: here am I. 12And he said: lay not thy hands upon the child, neither do anything at all unto him, for now I know that thou fearest God, in that thou hast not kept thine only son from me. 13And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked about: and behold, there was a ram caught by the horns in a thicket. And he went and took the ram and offered him up for a sacrifice in the stead of his son. 14And Abraham called the name of the place, the LORD will see: wherefore it is a common saying this day: in the mount will the LORD be seen.

How absolutely amazing that you should quote this scripture!
I was discussing the fact with my grandson, my daughters son, and told him I had asked God to give my daughter my space in the kingdom, if, He had any reserved for me.

I then remarked to my grandson that God must have answered my prayer when He awakened her. I said well He gave her my space so I guess I am on the outside now.

My Grandson answered by saying, No Papa, you are like Abraham, because he was willing to sacrifice his son and "for now I know that thou fearest God, " and for sure today, I can say the words of Abraham, " in the mount will the LORD be seen."

I also marvel at the insight and observations of my grandson and thank God daily for His grace and the words, "and offered him up for a sacrifice", have a much deeper meaning.

I can only hope to have the same "compassion in my bowels", of the great sacrifice that God gave to us through His "only Son".

I will also relay your message to my daughter.
Bless you and may the Praise of God be in our mouth and our hearts be opened wide. 2 Cor 6:11

Yea 2Co 6:11 along with the whole passage is very fitting indeed.

I don't know the history of Beliall, though i perceive that it's some sort of strange god (since antiquity) that exploits the physique; in particular the "belly": to attract it's prey for illfully gained profit that at the end has it's dire injury.

Brings to attention it's first mention:

[heman]

"Belial shall be let loose against Israel, as God spake through Isaiah the prophet." (6:9). The Fragments also speak of "three nets of Belial" which are said to be fornication, wealth, and polution of the sanctuary. (6:10-11) In this work, Belial is sometimes presented as an agent of divine punishment and sometimes as a rebel, as Mastema is. It was Belial who inspired the Egyptian sorcerers, Jochaneh and his brother, to oppose Moses and Aaron.

Simeon 5:3 says that fornication separates man from God and brings him near to Beliar. Levi tells his children to choose between the Law of God and the works of Beliar (Levi 19:1) It also states that when the soul is constantly disturbed, the Lord departs from it and Beliar rules over it. Naphtali (2:6, 3:1) contrasts the Law and will of God with the purposes of Beliar. Also, in 20:2, Joseph prophesies that when Israel leaves Egypt, they will be with God in light while Beliar will remain in darkness with the Egyptians. Finally, the Testament describes that when the Messiah comes, the angels will punish the spirits of deceit and Beliar (3:3) and that the Messiah will bind Beliar and give to his children the power to trample the evil spirits (18:12).

Belial came last; than whom a Spirit more lewd
Fell not from Heaven, or more gross to love,
Vice for itself. To him no temple stood
Or altar smoked; yet who more oft than he
In temples and at altars, when the priest
Turns atheist, as did Eli's sons, who filled
With lust and violence the house of God?
In courts and palaces he also reigns,
And in luxurious cities, where the noise
Of riot ascends above their loftiest towers,
And injury and outrage; and, when night
Darkens the streets, then wander forth the sons
Of Belial, flown with insolence and wine.
Witness the streets of Sodom, and that night
In Gibeah, when the hospitable door
Exposed a matron, to avoid worse rape
-Paradise Lost, i. 490-504
Belial: From Hebrew, BLIOL, = a Wicked One

It's amazing that Scripture (with the guidance of the comforter) can teach us already without even knowing historical knowledge; as i even had perceived what mattered.

Reminds of what you had said on the prior post that points out who the teacher really was:
