Father Abraham
The Lord brought Abraham outside and said, ‘Look towards heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your descendants be.’
~Genesis 15:5
In level III (ages 9-12) we read the story of Abraham. When asked the question, what does this story mean for us today as we look toward Parousia (Jesus' Second Coming)? A child responded:
At the end, at Parousia, it will be all of Abraham's descendants that are there.

When the Lord finally gave Isaac to Abraham he asked for the ultimate sacrifice.
