The throne room was silent. No one spoke. The entire host of Zion observed the crazy man who was ready to follow YHWH to the arduous murder of his own son.
YHWH rose in awe. The 24 elders fell flat. Every angel in Zion followed suit. All beings hid their faces from the risen frame of YHWH. A liquid glowing orb, riddled with electrodes and lightning bolts rolled off the light of YHWH. YHWH wept in love for man. One man who was willing to give up the one thing that meant everything to him.
YHWH beheld Abraham raise his skean. Aimed at Isaac's neck. the man sobbed like a weaned baby, yet he brought the skean down with alarming speed. His eyes shut tight.
"STOP!" YHWH thundered and the force fields that held the universe together shuddered. Every creature in Zion cringed in reverence. No one had ever heard YHWH thunder like that. The waves on the oceans froze in mid air. Every swaying tree paused its sway. Every bird in flight ceased in its flight yet, none fell under the force of gravity. Existence stopped, for YHWH froze. Awed by the actions of one man.

Abraham heard the voice and he cringed in fear. Every nerve in his body rippled with an over-surge of YHWH's essence. Abraham felt his hand suspended in mid air, the skean an inch away from Isaac's sobbing neck
"OF A TRUTH I KNOW" YHWH continued "THAT YOU FEAR ME..."
YHWH looked around at his counsel lying face flat
"BEHOLD MY FRIEND... ABRAHAM... NONE RESEMBLES HIM... NO NOT ONE"
Then Uriel, the Lord's messenger appeared before Abraham
"Abraham lay no finger on Isaac..." Uriel said "Now, YHWH knows that a man can revere him to the extremes. For you didn't withhold your only son from Him. Now look"
Abraham was too frozen to even look away from the glory of the angel.
"Look" Uriel repeated. Abraham finally looked up at the same olive brush he had seen while on his knees... there a huge ram was caught by its horns between branches...
"That is the token of sacrifice" Uriel continued
"JIREH" was the only thing Abraham could utter...
Then YHWH spoke from Zion "I swear by my Name... because you have not held back your only son from me. You will remain the most blessed Human in all existence. Your Generations shall remain beyond count and they shall be leaders in every field of endeavour they engage in. Because you have radically obeyed me, You are forever a father in Zion"
Moments later after the "benediction", Abraham sobbed uncontrollably as he hugged his "resurrected" son. He knew Sarah would hear about this but he wasn't bothered about her hysteria. He had his son back from death... Sarah's words would be saved for another UNTOLD SCRIPT...
