Commentary on Hebrews 11:20

Theological / Devotional

By faith. See on verses 1, 3.

Isaac blessed Jacob. For the record of this incident see Genesis 27:1-40.

Things to come. To Isaac, when he realized the deception that had been practiced upon him, the future of his family must have loomed dark indeed. His plans for Esau had been shattered. He was blind physically, but he lifted his eyes of faith and discerned the shape of “things to come,” the way by which the infinite purpose of God was to be accomplished.
