God says, "Who do you think I am?"

I was reading Genesis 22:1-19 and I came across something extremely interesting and awesome. Try to read it and see if you catch it.

...reading reading reading...

Ok. Congratulations for those who caught it and for those who didn't, I will tell you now.

In Genesis 22:16, God swears...in himself. He decides to call upon the highest power to be a witness to the covenant he lays upon Abraham and he's like, "...and...that's me!"

He does stuff like this several other times. He's allowed to be righteously selfish because a human being selfish is taking the focus off God. And since God IS God, he's allowed to put the focus on himself.

Haha. If you're God, then I guess you get a little bit of that special status. :-D
