It signifies that they were separate from everyday reality. Peter at Joppa would go 'up upon the housetop' (Ac.10: 9) and 'the upper room' where Dorcas lay before Peter would raise the dead carries the same significance. (Ac.9: 36-43; 1 Ki.17:17-24). The Spirit isolates them in order to give us its spiritual underpinning. In setting this Spirit wants us to get into the spirit of heavenly things that run parallel to our workaday world. God made Abraham the Father of many nations. Isaac is the heir of promise. What is their relationship? He is the seed of Abram after the manner of flesh. In raising him to the father of many nations, the heir also has to rise correspondingly is it not? The Spirit presents Abraham as a substitutionary symbol; -in which Isaac 'thine only son' serves the model for the Son.
God tempted Abraham in the sense he had to become the Father of many nations, which is based on faith so he proved his DNA was same as that of God a Spirit. For this reason he was not to lead his son to anywhere but "And offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of. /And they came to the place which God had told him of;"(v.9b)
The Spirit builds up Isaac in small steps, -"And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son" references to the wooden cross Jesus would carry to Calvary. Next we have this phrase, "And they went both of them together,"(Ge.22: 8-9) In the silence we may recall the words of Isaiah, "yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter."(Is.53: 7)
What is Mount Moriah? Here the Spirit is referring to Zion that God has founded with which the creation account began. This is the centre of the divine Will and it is to this that their faith had to rise. In short faith sets Abraham and his son as one. Isaac signified the Son the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world.
