Hebrews 11:20, Isaac when he was blessing them trust in God (by faith) that the things which were going to happen to Jacob and Esau in the future would be as Isaac foretold. Isaac had faith that God would make all those blessings come true that Isaac would not live long enough to see. That is what the verse is saying.

It became into saved secret from Isaac with the aid of fact he enjoyed Esau lots, Rebecca did no longer want him to comprehend, yet via the character of Jacob, she knew he would desire to shop the birthright as he had to be the chosen inheritor. Gen.27:35 - 38; there is not any point out that Isaac knew Jacob had the birthright as firstborn till Esau instructed Isaac, "behold I even have made him thy lord." suggested Isaac to Esau. Why might Jacob are available secret for the blessing if Isaac knew Esau had bought his birthright? Isaac then did as sturdy via Esau as he in all likelihood ought to, and suggested to him the flaws that he would desire to, it became into what Esau brought about, yet he became into offended.
