Hmmmm... it may be a coincidence... but isn't Abraham just about the last major figure where Christianity, Judaism, and Islam essentially (though not entirely) agree on his role? The Twelve Tribes of Israel are from his son Isaac, the Arab tribes from his son Ishmael....

Not quite they all generally agree on Moses who was a thousand years later give or take.

But yeah the Abraham sacrificing his son story has occurred to me over the years as well as an interesting parallel to Nicodemus.

Hell it probably occurred to Nicodemus himself, tried to find comfort in that unlike Abraham he was willing to go through with it for his faith.

No doubt fed to him through Anduriel.

"Abraham shows his obedience to the Lord, but an angel tells him to stop"  So he was going to do it, but God didn't want him to actually do it.  Nicodemus on the other hand did follow through with it because his master wanted the sacrifice to take place.  I think this is supposed to be a parallel between who Michael serves, and who Nicodemus serves.
