From Binding to Blessing: Tracing the Redemptive Arc of Genesis 22

A split-image collage illustrating the biblical parallels between the Binding of Isaac and the Arrest of Jesus. On the left, Isaac is depicted in a white robe, his hands bound with rope, with a solemn expression, symbolizing submission to God's will. Behind him, Abraham and other figures observe the moment. A golden light surrounds Isaac, signifying divine presence. On the right, Jesus (Yeshua) is portrayed in a red robe, his hands also bound with rope, mirroring Isaac's posture.

The text overlay reads, "From Binding to Blessing: Tracing the Redemptive Arc of Genesis 22," and a logo for "hallel.info" is present in the bottom left corner.
