Bible Question (short): Is Ishmael the father is Islam? |
Question (full): In this a prophetic verse talking about Hagar's child Ishmael, I wonder if the angel talking to Hagar is prophesying the Muslim nation. The bloody borders of Islam are well known today and it is very well known that Ishmael figures in very prominently into the Hajj. Gen 16:12 "He will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, And everyone's hand will be against him; And he will live to the east of all his brothers." Even though Arabs and Jews spring from the origin of Abraham they are brothers fighting and killing each other daily over Canaan. Such a sin as not waiting on God for a child has resulted in the catalyst for contention between brothers that has been easy picking from Satan himself who is the head of Islam. Ahmadinejad who is professing to destroy Israel when he has sufficient strength of nuclear power appears to be that "Wild Donkey". Any thoughts? |
