Commentators overwhelmingly agree that when Abraham told his servants he and Isaac would "come again," it was not a deception. Citing Hebrews 11:19, they explain this was a profound declaration of faith. Abraham believed that even if he sacrificed his son, God was powerful enough to raise Isaac from the dead to fulfill His promises.
