How do we know God's sovereign purpose is fulfilled in Isaac's blessing?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereign purpose is evident as Isaac's blessing of Jacob aligns with divine prophecy and establishes the lineage of Israel.

Isaac's faith in the promise of God is paramount in understanding the fulfillment of God's sovereign purpose. The narrative highlights that Isaac was aware of God’s declaration, 'the elder shall serve the younger,' thus he recognized that despite his affection for Esau, he must bless Jacob to honor God’s predetermined plan (Genesis 25:23). Isaac's trembling before the realization of God's will emphasizes that all events, including international conflicts, are under God's sovereign governance and timing. This principle reflects the broader understanding of God’s sovereignty—that all things, including human decisions and actions, serve His ultimate purpose and glory.
