"And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of theLordit shall be seen."(v.14)
"To this day" an expression the Spirit uses in order to fix the events in context of the Son.There are too many examples to put in one comment, and one instance we have here:"even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of theLord: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Bethshemite."(1 Sa.6:18) We have been foreknown and blessed so the emblem, the atonement and the glory that waits, come under the holdall of eternity. The Lamb slain refers to the context of the time of calling, which is irrevocable. So the phrase' before the foundation of the world' is embedded in the now; All his promises are yea in the Son. The throne of God and of the Lamb is ahead of us. It is how we translate the Word become flesh in our present frame of reference.
As St Paul explains,"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:/According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love."(Ep.1:3-4). The condition 'that we should be holy and without blame is not what we can manufacture by our own will or merits. It is the grace which came by Jesus Christ. So we walk by faith, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."(Gal.2:20)
"Unto this day" therefore has a specific weight in terms of Abraham and also for us. It is the Spirit's way to indicate where our wherewithal comes from. We are 'dead' in a manner of speaking so our body as was Abraham ("and him as good as dead,"He.11:12) is for the eternal word to fashion it whichever way our Lord would have it.
