Paul is using the OT story of Abraham, Darah and Hagaar as an allegory to isslustrate what is happening among the Galatians with the the Judaizers. Sarah and her child Isaac represent the Church of New Covenant of grace and freedom from the Mosaic Law. Hagaar and her child Ishmael represent the Jewsih Church of the Old Mosaic Covenant of the Law of Sinai. Ishmael was the older brother of Isaac and when Sarah felt that Ishmael was impsoing on Isaacs rights she demanded that Hagaar and Ishmael be sent away. Paul is telling the Galatians to do the same thing to the Judaizers trying to impse the Old Covenant Laws of circumcision and other ritual observations on the Gentile Christians. Send them away. The Galatians are children of the New Covenant born again by "water and the Spirit", faith and baptism (the circumsion of Christ Col 2:11-12), not by circumcision of the flesh. |
