The next picture we see is that of Isaac.Isaac was the son that God promised to Abraham & Sara. He had witnessed his Father's faith when his Father was asked to sacrifice him to God. He also had seen the salvation of the Lord when a ram was provided instead.
He grew up walking beside his Father learning of God's promise for a promised land. But he didn't just see it as a promise to his Father only, but had faith in that promise himself. He spoke of that promise when he blessed his two sons, Jacob & Esau (Heb. 11:20/Gen. 27:1-40). And he died believing in that promise& passed that promise to his son, Jacob ( Heb. 11: 9-10,13).
That is why, he is in the great hall of of faith.
