By an act of faith, Isaac reached into the future as he blessed Jacob and Esau.
Faith not only has sight (seeing is believing), it also has foresight. Sometimes it gets glimpses of the future. On occasions a person may have more than a glimpse – more like an open window into the future God is preparing for them, or for others (as was the case here).
When God reveals something to you, there may come a time to appropriately speak about it in the presence of others, but great sensitivity to the Holy Spirit is required. However, it is never inappropriate to talk to God about what you believe He is showing you. When, or if, it becomes time to tell someone else, He will impress it on your spirit.
Meanwhile, we do well to be like Mary, and treasure ”up all theses things and” ponder them in our hearts (Luke 2:19)
