This document discusses the life of Isaac based on passages from the Bible. It is divided into three sections:
I. Leaving - Discussing Isaac after the death of his father Abraham.
II. Receiving - How God blessed Isaac after Abraham's death.
III. Residing - Mentions Isaac resided by the well Lahairoi, the same place where Hagar met an angel and where Isaac lived when he married Rebekah.
The document uses Isaac's life to draw parallels about having strength in times of loss and how God provides for those who trust in him.

The Isaac Principal of
Life
Abraham passes from the scene,
being one of the most important men
of the Bible.
He is mentioned 70 times in the New
Testament alone.
Only Moses is mentioned more times
in the New Testament (80 times).
Isaac alone is the heir and the others
received only gifts.
So, Christ is the Heir of God and His
bride will be with him
far above all the earthly blessings of
the age to come.
Gen 25:11
3. 2
11) And it came to pass after the

thou turnest thyself:
