The Holy Spirit is given to Prepare Us to meet the Son

Abraham was now old and well advanced in years, and the LORD had blessed him in every way.  He said to the chief servant in his household, the one in charge of all that he had... I want you to swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of earth, that you will... go to my country and my own relatives and get a wife for my son Isaac.'... 

john16/13

Now Isaac had come from Beer Lahai Roi, for he was living in the Negev.  He went out to the field one evening to meditate, and as he looked up, he saw camels approaching.  Rebekah also looked up and saw Isaac. She got down from her camel and asked the servant, "Who is that man in the field coming to meet us?"  "He is my master," the servant answered. So she took her veil and covered herself.  Then the servant told Isaac all he had done."  genesis24/1>4, 62>66
