And even though Abraham did not have any understanding as to the details of his biological inability to have children, especially when many others around him were having children right and left. He still looked to God and to Gods promise, that children would be there when the time was right, and according to Gods timetable.

But God has a plan, that through Abrahams life, the world and history would be taught the lesson of having one son, of the emotional difficulty of having to sacrifice that only son, that had been so long hoped for, and so deeply loved, in order to save the entire human race.

It took a long time to bring Jesus into the world, and it took a great deal of effort to let history bring Him to the Cross. A series of events that man caused, and God coordinated.

And so too, Abraham would be the father of many nations through the biological activities that are common to man, but also, Abraham would become a father of many more, who would believe as he had believed, setting the pattern for generations to follow.
