It is rather obvious that Abraham offering up Isaac foreshadowed Jehovah offering up Jesus, perhaps you will find these similarities of Moses and Jesus interesting as well:
There was pictorial correspondency between these two great prophets, Moses and Jesus Christ. In infancy both escaped the wholesale slaughter ordered by the respective rulers of their time. (Ex 1:22; 2:1-10; Mt 2:13-18) Moses was called out of Egypt with Jehovah’s “firstborn,” the nation of Israel, Moses being the nation’s leader. Jesus was called out of Egypt as God’s firstborn Son. (Ex 4:22, 23; Ho 11:1; Mt 2:15, 19-21) Both fasted for 40 days in wilderness places. (Ex 34:28; Mt 4:1, 2) Both came in the name of Jehovah, Jesus’ name itself meaning “Jehovah Is Salvation.” (Ex 3:13-16; Mt 1:21; Joh 5:43) Jesus, like Moses, ‘declared the name of Jehovah.’ (De 32:3; Joh 17:6, 26) Both were exceptional in meekness and humility. (Nu 12:3; Mt 11:28-30) Both had the most convincing credentials to show that they were sent by God—astounding miracles of many sorts, Jesus Christ going farther than Moses by raising dead persons to life.—Ex 14:21-31; Ps 78:12-54; Mt 11:5; Mr 5:38-43; Lu 7:11-15, 18-23.
Moses was mediator of the Law covenant between God and the nation of Israel. Jesus was Mediator of the new covenant between God and the “holy nation,” the spiritual “Israel of God.” (1Pe 2:9; Ga 6:16; Ex 19:3-9; Lu 22:20; Heb 8:6; 9:15) Both served as judges, lawgivers, and leaders. (Ex 18:13; 32:34; Da 9:25; Mal 4:4; Mt 23:10; Joh 5:22, 23; 13:34; 15:10) Moses was entrusted with and proved faithful to his stewardship in the ‘house of God,’ that is, the nation, or congregation, of Israel. Jesus showed faithfulness over God’s house that he as God’s Son constructed, namely, the nation, or congregation, of spiritual Israel. (Nu 12:7; Heb 3:2-6) And even in death there was a parallel: God disposed of the bodies of both Moses and Jesus.—De 34:5, 6; Ac 2:31; Jude 9.
They say history repeats itself, that is especially true in Biblical accounts, do you see God's Hand in the matter?

Yes, I see repetition in scripture, a cadence, almost like a heartbeat of life - but more as a message of a parent to offspring, to nurture and teach - repeating as often as necessary to impart understanding of what is important - to share in the joy of Life eternal. "my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge..."

Has it occurred to you that when you simply copy and paste 150 different verse references, it's really difficult to have an actual discussion?

Yes........
2Ch 7:14**If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Those Scriptural references support what was said sir. Feel free anytime to discuss anything I post, that is what I am here for. I have always found similarities to be a bit more than similarities in Scripture, and find them interesting. Looking at them for what they actually are can strengthen your faith that God actually exists.
I know that the world has amazing things like that as well, like the similarities of the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations, but one can't help but seeing the deliberate design of the similarities in the Bible.
