Flavius Josephus was a Jewish historian who lived just after Christ. According to him, Isaac was 25 years old at this time. Abraham could not have sacrificed him without his own consent. Just as Abraham showed his faith by his willingness to sacrifice his son, Isaac also showed his faith by his willingness to allow himself to be sacrificed. Abraham was a similitude of the Father and Isaac was a similitude of the Son.
