Abraham had confidence in the coming future resurrection - Hebrews 11:17-19 - when under Christ's millennium-long day of governing over earth there will be a resurrection. That is why Acts 24:15 uses the ' future tense ' that there ' is going to be ' a resurrection....... Abraham could see himself healthy alive on Earth under Christ's millennial rule over Earth.
None of the faithful mentioned at Hebrews chapter 11 saw the fulfillment of God's promise - Hebrews 11:13,39
The promise which God made to father Abraham that ALL families of Earth will be blessed - Genesis 12:3
and ALL nations of Earth will be blessed - Genesis 22:18. Blessed with healing for Earth's nations - Rev. 22:2
That healing for Earth's nations takes place during Jesus' coming 1,000-year governmental rulership over Earth when even 'enemy death ' will be No more on Earth - 1st Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8
