But Abram said, "O Adonai YHWH, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"
Genesis 15:2
For Abraham, the world after he would be gone was of more importance than the world he saw every day. He lived in the world and carefully considered the past, but his hopes and preparations were for the future.
After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Fear not, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great."
Genesis 15:1
After the battle with the five kings, God told Abram "Don't be afraid." Why afterwards and not before? Life's trials are sometimes like lifting weights. You only get stronger if the weight gets heavier.

Isaiah 1;1, “This is the vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem that Isaiah son of Amoz saw during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.” Isaiah is given a vision and he narrates that vision precisely as he is able. Not every prophet was given a vision, some were given the words to speak.
