The History of the World: Past, Present, Future

Genesis 16-25 Ishmael, the Arabs, the Muslims, Part II

Genesis 16:10 Moreover, the angel of the LORD said to her, "I will greatly multiply your descendants so that they will be too many to count."

Genesis 16:11 The angel of the LORD said to her further, "Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to has heard your affliction.

Genesis 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  in defiance of all his brothers."

Genesis 25:1 Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

Genesis 25:2 She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah

Genesis 25:5 Now Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac;

Genesis 25:6 but to the sons of his concubines, Abraham gave gifts while he was still living, and sent them away from his son Isaac eastward, to the land of the east.

Genesis 37:25  Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.

Genesis 37:28 Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt.

Surah 5:94 So proclaim that which thou art commanded, and withdraw from the idolaters.

Surah 73:10 And bear with patience what they utter, and part from them with a fair leave taking.

Surah 9:5 Slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, besiege them, and prepare for them an ambush

Surah 9:123 O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you

Galatians 4:22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons,

one by the bondwoman and one by the free woman.

Galatians 4:23 But the son by the bondwoman was born according to the flesh,

and the son by the free woman through the promise.

Galatians 4:24 This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants: one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

Galatians 4:25 Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children.

Galatians 4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free; she is our mother.

Galatians 4:28 And you brethren, like Isaac, are children of promise.

Galatians 4:29 But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

Galatians 4:31 So then, brethren, we are not children of a bondwoman, but of the free woman.

Romans 6:14 For sin shall will not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Galatians 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
