Women of the Bible Sarah Part 4 Finish
Episode 46
Sunday, 29 March, 2026
In this study we will take a look at the women within the Bible. We will look at each one of them and see how their story influences our lives today.In our last study we continued with the story on Sarah. We covered Gen. 20 where Abraham took his family down to Gerar, where he and Sarah lied to the king Abimelech. In this study we will take a look at the birth of Isaac and Hagar and Ishmael Sent Away. Also in Gen. 23, the death of Sarah.Genesis 21 The climax of Sarah's story, the event she has waited for all her life, at last comes. Her son Isaac is bornShe is overjoyed, laughing with pure happiness. She even names her child 'Isaac', which means laughter. Isaac = Isaac became a wonderful type or picture of the Messiah to come.· Both were specially promised sons.· Both conceptions were miraculous.· Both were born after a period of delay.· Both mothers were given assurance by truth of Yahweh’s omnipotence.· Both were given names rich with meaning before they were born.· Both births occurred at Yahweh’s appointed time.· Both births were accompanied by great joy.Abraham does not want to comply - Ishmael is his son - but Sarah prevails. It seems she still has legal dominion over Hagar, and she uses her power. Next morning Abraham gives Hagar and the boy Ishmael some water and bread, and sends them out into the unforgiving desert, abandoning them to their fate. Technically they are free: Hagar is now an unbound slave. But Sarah has won. She has a son who will become the next tribal leader. Her remorseless speech against Hagar is the last words we hear from her. Once again I read from the Legends of the Old Testament on the birth of Isaac. This can be found on page 167, The Expulsion of Hagar and IshmaelThe End of Sarah's Story Genesis 22, 23:1-2 Before she dies, there is one more event that Sarah has to deal with: Abraham's aborted sacrifice of his (and Sarah's) son Isaac (Genesis 22). Sarah is not mentioned in this incident, but she must surely have known about it - either before it happened, or after. Her side of the story has disappeared, but can anyone doubt what her reaction was, or how horrific this event must have been for her? She died soon after this at Hebron, which became a sacred city of the Israelites. Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years = Sarah is the only woman in the Bible whose age at death is recorded. This gives us some measure of how highly she is regarded in the Scriptures.127 = In the Bible, the number 127 is often associated with completeness and perfection. It is a combination of the numbers 1, which represents unity and new beginnings, and 27, which symbolizes divine intervention and spiritual fulfillment. When these two numbers are combined, they create a powerful message of wholeness and divine blessing.Some other combinations we can consider;1-2-7 = 1 = Unity or Beginning - 2 = Union or Witness - 7 = Spiritual Completeness from Yahweh 1-27 = 1 = Unity or Beginning - 27 = Divinity intensified, the cube of 3 Preaching of the Gospel Sarah stands as an outstanding example of a godly woman of faith. Though Mary, the mother of Yahshua Messiah, was a woman of great godliness and character, nowhere in the Bible is the believer specifically told to look to Mary the mother of Yahshua Messiah as an example for women. There are at least two places in the Bible where believing women are told to look to Sarah as such an example (Isaiah 51:1-2, 1 Peter 3:3-6).Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?
