God was painting a picture in prophetic riddle called sensus plenior.

Abraham did not practice sacrifice. He obeyed God in performing the acts God told him to do.

Abraham was commanded to act out a 'dinner theater' in faith. He prepared the sacrifice just as God, the Father prepared his own son for a sacrifice. The son was obedient to the father, even lying on the altar.

At the appropriate time in the play, it was halted so the actors could be substituted. The ram replaced Isaac.

The ram was stuck in the thorns. We are told that the thorns represent the 'cares of the world'. Christ died because he 'cared for the world."

With very little effort even the most simple minded can find many parallels between the vignette with Abraham, and the offering of Christ. Prove me wrong anon. kek

You are right, he didn't know. that's why it was 'in faith'. God halted the prophetic play for the substitution, and then let it continue.

I am irrelevant to the conversation and so is human sacrifice. Abraham did not practice human sacrifice.

Ge 22:8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Abraham trusted that God would not command him to kill his son. He did not practice human sacrifice.
