1 | Same Bible? | Gen 21:18 | T'oma | 144529 | ||
Seedling, your comment, “I found the Artabs mentioned in the New Testament...Act 2:11 They speaks of the works of God. I think this is terrific!”, is one of the most beautiful aspects of our Savior’s genealogy. Take note of the three women mentioned in Matthew 1. They were daughters of Abraham THRU the seed of his son Ishmael. Even Ishmael was part of God’s promise to Abraham. The covenant sealed when Abraham and his teenage son were circumcised. In Palestine today are many Palestinian Christians, whose family trees date back to the times of Christ Jesus their Lord. From those whom you mentioned in Acts 2, perhaps. Oh, the wonders of His never failing love towards the descendents of Abraham. T’oma |

T'oma, These women in Matthew 1: I can think of Tamar, Ruth, Bathsheba, and Mary. Which of these are descended from Ishmael? I couldn't find any geneologies showing this. Ga 4:22 For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise. Roman 9:7 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac thy seed shall be called. Remember, Ishmael was not the child of promise. God's promise to Abraham was to give him the child by Sarah. God truly loves everyone, but let's not mingle His love for mankind with His specific promise to Abraham. And one more thing. . . Where exactly is "Palestine"? Certainly you wouldn't be using the name given to Israel by the Romans, as they attempted to eradicate Israel, would you? Love in Christ, Mark |
