What does Abraham's son think is going to happen?
Abraham's son, Isaac, likely thinks they are going to make a sacrifice as part of their journey to the mountain. He notices the preparation, including the firewood and the knife, but questions the absence of a lamb for the offering. This indicates his confusion and trust in his father's intentions, as he believes they will fulfill their religious duty together. However, he is unaware of the deeper significance of their mission and the test of faith that awaits them.

if you are talking about the story of Abraham and how he was told by God to sacrifice his son Isaac, than instead of his son he sacrificed a lamb because he was going to sacrifice his son for God and so God said that he had proven his faith and that means he loves him, so instead he let Abraham sacrifice a lamb instead!! hope that helped :D

Did Abraham know that God was going to provide another sacrifice so he would not have to kill his son?
A:Leon R. Kass (The Beginning of Wisdom: Reading Genesis) says that in a strange way the passage about Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son speaks more about God's faith in Abraham than Abraham's faith in God. Kass also cites an insightful comment from a student he taught at his university. If you say that Abraham, when he goes up Mount Moriah, neither hopes nor believes in the slightest that Isaac will somehow be saved or restored at the end of it all - if you say that Abraham has resigned himself wholly to the loss of his son Isaac - then you must also say . . . that Abraham is here offering Isaac to a God whom Abraham believes to be a liar. For did not God promise that "it is through Isaac that offspring shall be called for you (Genesis 21:12)?
What did god promise to Abraham if he killed Isaac?
God didn't promise Abraham anything. God just told him to sacrifice his son Isaac and Abraham, being obedient to God, was going to do what God told him to do. That is until God stopped him. God was seeing if Abraham would still be willing to obey God even if it meant killing his only son.
Who did god ask Abraham to sacrifice?

Why was Abraham going to sacrifice his son Jacob?
Abraham was very devoted.Additional information:He didn't, but he was willing to. Abraham was going to be the 'father of many nations' so God tested the quality of his faith(Genesis 22:1). Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son proved his faith and love for God(Genesis 26:4-5). Abraham recognized that, since Isaac was the one through whom a great nation and the Messiah would eventually come(Genesis 21:12; 17:5+6+19), he knew God could raise him from the dead if necessary(Daniel 12:2+13; Job 14:13-15; Psalm 16:10; Hosea 13:14; Isaiah 26:19)as there had been several examples demonstrated in history (1 Kings 17:21+22; 2 Kings 4:22-37; 2 Kings 13:20+21). This was attested to later in the Greek Scriptures(Hebrews 11:17-19+35)
