07/31/2026 – “Ha Makom: The Place” – Day 176 / “And Abraham named that place “The LORD Will Provide”,” so today it is said: “It will be provided” on the LORD’s mountain.” (Genesis 22:14)
” “There is one place on earth,” said the teacher, “that has borne the Name of God and a prophecy for almost four thousand years, long before most of the world’s great cities or nations bore any name at all.”
“What place?” I asked.
“At first it’s referred to as Ha Makom, The Place. But then it’s given a specific name: YHVH Yireh. YHVH is the sacred Name of God. And Yireh means to make appear, to make visible, to present, to provide, to reveal. So YHVH Yireh means the Lord will make appear, make visible present, provide, and reveal. It was Abraham who gave that name to the place. And it was Moses who recorded its naming and added the words: ‘In the mount of the Lord it shall be revealed, or it will be provided, it will be presented, it will be made visible.’ ”
“What would be revealed and made visible?”
“The answer is found in what happened in that place. It was there that Abraham offered up Isaac as a sacrifice. And when Isaac asked his father, ‘Where is the lamb…?’ Abraham answered, ‘God will provide for Himself the lamb …’ But in Hebrew it says ‘God will yireh the lamb. Yireh is the same word by the place is named. So YHVH Yireh identifies the place where God will yireh the lamb, provide the lamb, present the lamb, reveal the lamb. The lamb will be made visible in that specific place. And The Place, YHVH Yireh, is Mount Moriah.”
“Does Mount Morah have any connection to the revealing of a lamb?”
“I would say so,” he replied. “It was there on Mount Moriah that the central event of human history took place – the crucifixion. It was there that Messiah was crucified as the Lamb.”
“So Messiah was revealed as the Lamb … in the place called ‘God will reveal the lamb’!
“Revealed,” he said, “presented and made to become visible in the place of revealing, the presenting, and the making visible.”
“And of the providing,” I said.
“Yes, in the place of God’s provision. That which appears on that mountain is God’s provision for the needs of all, for every need, every emptiness, and every longing of our hearts.”
“Messiah is the Lamb… and the Lamb is the provision… Messiah is the provision of all.”
“Yes,” said the teacher, “And in the mountain of the Lord it has been revealed.”
The Mission: Bring every unanswered question, every unmet need, and every unfulfilled longing to Calvary, Mount Moriah, the place of God’s providing.”
Genesis 22: 7-8,14; Luke 23:33; John 1:29
