If you look at the story Abraham states clearly to the
attendant that (paraphrased) " Me and the boy will be back
directly."

Now Father Abraham was lying thru his teeth cause he knew Isaac
was gonna get cut or he was making a faith statement that even if Isaac
died on the Altar that God would raise him up.

Another interesting parallel for Christians..Note that it is Abraham's
willingness to sacrifice his son that opens up the way for his covenant
partner YHWH to commit to sacrifice His Son for Abraham (further on
down the line.)
