Two Sacrifices and A Stumbling Point For Many Non-Messianic Jews

So which is or are what the korban Yeshua relates to? HaAkedah v'HaKorban Pesach or HaKorban-Haben-Melekh-shel-Mo'av? Parsha Vayera contains Parsha v'Haftarah Vayera, Bereshit 18-22 and Malakhim Bet 4. Beginning with a parsha m'Parsha Vayera:


Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.
11 But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”
13 Then Abraham lifted his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. So Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-LORD-Will-Provide;[b] as it is said to this day, “In the Mount of the LORD it shall be provided.”
15 Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: “By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son— 17 blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heaven and as the sand which is on the seashore; and your descendants shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 In your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Then m'Malakhim Bet, right before HaHaftarah:



 20 Now it happened in the morning, when the grain offering was offered, that suddenly water came by way of Edom, and the land was filled with water.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them, all who were able to bear arms and older were gathered; and they stood at the border. 22 Then they rose up early in the morning, and the sun was shining on the water; and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood. 23 And they said, “This is blood; the kings have surely struck swords and have killed one another; now therefore, Moab, to the spoil!”
24 So when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and attacked the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they entered their land, killing the Moabites. 25 Then they destroyed the cities, and each man threw a stone on every good piece of land and filled it; and they stopped up all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees. But they left the stones of Kir Haraseth intact. However the slingers surrounded and attacked it.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom, but they could not. 27 Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there was great indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to their own land.

So, which is hakorban Yeshua? HaAkedah-Akedot or avodah zarah? Look at the differences: Yeshua is Jewish and came to save Israel. Mo'av attempted to destroy Yisra'el v'Yehudah. Yeshua offered himself, fulfilling "“My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.”"-- and only G-d can die to save others from sin. Hamelekh-Mo'avi was not offering his firstborn son for selfless reasons but to try to win a war against the Yisra'elim v'Yehudim.

Also, hakorban Yeshua was wanted by those who thought that he committed avodah zarah. "Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall; and there was great indignation against Israel. So they departed from him and returned to their own land." The original Hebrew reads, "Vaiyikkach et-benov habbechor asher-yimloch tachtav vaiya'alehu olah al-hachomah vayhi ke·tzef-gadol al-Yisra'el vaiyis'u me'alav vaiyashuvu la'aretz. פ"

'Al could mean, as one translator put it,  "upon" as in that Israel was disgusted. "Following this, such great anger came upon Isra'el that they left him and went back to their own land." So they were disgusted with the korban of haben shel hamelekh-Mo'avi.

Many Yehudim see hakorban Yeshua as parallel to the korban-haben shel hamelekh-Mo'avi. For example, "Who died on the cross? Was it Jesus-the-god, or was it Jesus-the-human? If it was Jesus-the-god, Jews don't believe that God can die. If it was Jesus-the-human, then all Christians have in the death of Jesus was a human death, a human sacrifice. Jews believe that God hates the very idea of human sacrifice."

But these Yehudim miss what Avraham said plus:


But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!”
So he said, “Here I am.”
12 And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.”


HaMelekh-Adonai is not just HaMelekh-Adonai; but also Adonai, and not by coincidence. Therefore, to the Antimissionaries in particular:

Romans 11:8-10

New King James Version (NKJV)

8 Just as it is written:


“ God has given them a spirit of stupor,
Eyes that they should not see
And ears that they should not hear,
To this very day.”[a]

9 And David says:


“ Let their table become a snare and a trap,
A stumbling block and a recompense to them.
10 Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see,
And bow down their back always.”[b]
 


Also:

Mark 12:9-11

New King James Version (NKJV)

9 “Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not even read this Scripture:


‘ The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.
11 This was the LORD’s doing,
And it is marvelous in our eyes’?”[a]
