Figure- a parable
Raise- elevate
Hebrews 11:19 Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from whence also he recieved him in a figure.
Abraham knew that God could raise Isaac from the dead.The belief that all things could be done with God, was clear to Abraham.
Genesis 22:13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked and behold and 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.
James 2:20, 21, 22 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not our father Abraham, justified by works, when he had offered his son Isaac upon the altar? Seeth how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
