Isaac

Hebrews 11:20 By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come. 

‘Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau concerning things to come.’ Isaac – faith’s material blessing (Gen. 27:1-40).

We see in Genesis 27:28-29 the 36th prophecy in Genesis that was fulfilled. It predicted that Jacob would be blessed above Esau in material and spiritual things. This is the first prophecy of Isaac (cp. Gen. 27:39-40). Jacob received a tenfold prophetic blessing: God will give you the dew of heaven. God will give you the fatness of the earth. God will give you plenty of corn (wheat). God will give you plenty of wine (vineyards). God will let people serve you. God will let the nations bow down to you. You will be lord over your brethren. God will let your brothers bow to you. Cursed are those who curse you. Blessed are those who bless you.

The sixfold prophetic blessing of Esau follows in verses 39-40: The fatness of the earth. The dew of heaven. To be a warring nation. To be a servant of Jacob. Partial and temporary dominion. Freedom from Jacob’s yoke.
