<BLOCKQUOTE style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">
<P align=justify><FONT face=Arial size=2>there seem to be actually more than
one interpretation of EN PARABOLHi. According to VINE's Expository Dictionary
of Old and New Testament Words the word PARABOLH (translated as FIGURE in KJV)
refers to return of Isaac that "was [...] figurative of resurrection". However
it is not clarified here whose resurrection is meant. Probably the
resurrection of Isaac is in view, for he was due to faith of Abraham intended
for inevitable death, so that recovering of him was equal to his resurrection
from dead. But couldn't the return of Isaac be anderstood as the parable of
resurrection of Christ? The russian Synodal Version renders PARABOLH in this
passage by the russian word [predznamenovaniye], which means OMEN. In this
case - I suppose - EN PARABOLHi is interpreted "as prophetic sign (of
resurrection of Christ)".</FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
