Genesis 21:10 Galatians 4:30 Cast out the bond woman and her son (Ishmael) and if you read on you will find the prophesy of God upon Ishmael. I believe that because of the alienation between the two one can see an alienation between the descendants of Ishmael against the seed of Issac, thus setting them (generally speaking) against God. They may be attempting to worship the same God but in their own way as opposed to God's way. By not humbling themselves to acknowledge Issac as the rightful heir. |

2 | To learn the truth | OT general | Taleb | 72562 | ||
Gracefull, What's beautiful about the prophesy of God upon Ishmael is it demonstrates God's love for ALL the descendents of Abraham. Genesis 21:20 proclaims, "God was with the boy as he grew up." And, we know that the descendents of Abraham buried the dead very quickly. (Actually, they still do.) Genesis 25:8-9 explains how close Ishmael stayed - Abraham died, and his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him. That means that Ishmael was where everyone knew he was, and they were on good terms so a "war" wouldn't be waged when whoever entered his camp. And, he was close enough to get to and back for the funeral before the sun went down. A few verses later, (Gen 25:13) Ishmael's family tree is listed. At the top of the list is Kedar. Mecca - the "captial-city" of Islam - Kedar. And Isaiah has this to say about that city built by Kedar. Isaiah 42:10-12 "Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, ... (Vs 11-12) "Let the desert and its towns raise their voices; let the settlement where Kedar lives rejoice. Let them (descendants of Ishmael) give glory to the Lord and proclaim His praise …." To which we all can only say, “Let it be, Lord. Let it be.” In His love, Taleb |
