We see the events parallel to those of Jesus's death, in the sense that God gave his one and only son to die as a sacrifice in place of our sins. In this story, Abraham had to sacrifice his beloved son as a sacrifice to God to prove his faith. Through this story, God foreshadows what was to come and proves that God knew what he was doing, even from the start. In the end, God provided a ram in place of Isaac, like Jesus would later do for us.

Genesis 27:22 (Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”) can be an example of Jesus taking the weight of our sins. Jesus is still Jesus, but the sin that he carries is not his. Instead, it is all of our sins.

Genesis 25:18 - And they lived in hostility toward[b] all the tribes related to them. (about ishamel's descendants)
When I was a kid, my grandmother did not like Muslims and Arabics in Singapore, and there were some kids at my school who didn't want to hang out with them. -

He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers.”
Can be proved the world and it's feuds with Syria. The mosque shooting in New Zealand is also an example of people being against Ishmael's descendants.
