Bible Question: 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?

Bible Answer: God's day to you, MWLaine, and welsom to the SBF.

This is not a Biblical question.

The Biblr says that Ishmael settled in Paran, not Mecca … and married an Egyptian, not an Arab. (Gen 21:21). Arabs existed before Ishmael, but he may have been a father of several tribes.

Ishmael is recognized as an important patriarch and prophet of Islam. He is is mentioned over 10 times in the Qur'an, including his attempt with Abraham to set up the Kaaba in Mecca ... but Mecca and Paran are far apart.
