Ishmael: Hands against everyone





And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. Ishmael: that is, God shall hear
12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. Genesis 16:11

Situation
Ishmael has risen and the world is terrified, but yet a person who is acquainted with the Book of Genesis should not be for there in the scripture lies the prophecy of the hands of this son of Abraham. In this short study, we will find out who Ismael and his descendants are and how they are fulfilling this ancient prophecy.

Who is Ishmael? Abraham's first son with the slave woman Hagar
Sarah: Abraham's wife-she asked Abraham to take her slave because they could not have a child. Later, she realized the woman-Hagar, no longer had respect for her. So, after having her own child; Sarah asked Abraham to put the woman out of their house.
The Lord hears, The Angel of the Lord:... shalt call his name Ishmael; because the Lord hath heard thy affliction. While Hagar and Ishmael struggle in the wilderness, the Lord heard their affliction.
Famous descendant of Ishmael: Mohammed prophet of Islam

The Arabs are the descendants of Ishmael and will not bow down to any one. They are bold, fearing no man; untamed, intractable, living at large, and impatient of service and restraint. God blessed Ishmael by making him free and he will resist any nation trying to impose its will on him.

The rise of Islam play a major part in the characteristic of his descendants. Islam rose at a time of great apostasy in the Christian world in the middle ages and is once again awaken as the former so-called "Christian" nations are diving head first into apostasy and perversions. As we are now in the last days, the children of Ishmael will be untamed as never before. (for more info on Islam in Bible prophecy, read Rise of Islam blog)

I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip') [Quran 8:12]," . "[He] also said (So when you meet those who disbelieve, strike their necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens), [Quran 47:4].

This is Ishmael, and the time has come again, he has drawn his sword and his hands will be against everyone and everyone's hands against him.
For Jesus said in the last days there will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25

The sanctuary in Heaven

Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them. 9 "According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture. Exodus 25:8,9 God told Moses to build him a sanctuary according to the pattern that he sees. Does that mean God created a blue print for him or is it a pattern of something in heaven? Copy of the True Tabernacle The sanctuary that they built in the wilderness is a copy of the one that is in heaven. Yes there is a sanctuary in heaven. So if there is a sanctuary in heaven , does that mean there is a High Priest also? They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: "See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." Hebrews 8:5

Is the United States a Christian nation?

 Why calling the United states a Christian country is detrimental to Christianity.  The United states was clearly influenced by Christian principles; The pilgrims were escaping persecutions from Europe and while many of them practiced Christianity, they were still suffering persecution in Europe from state churches. The founding fathers, some being Christians, made sure to separate the church from the state. They well knew of the carnage that comes as a result of having a state religion. And so, the US became one of the rare countries without a state religion. Each person was left to follow the dictate of his own conscience.  When you call a country by a specific religion, people associate all of its behaviors with said religion. Note this example: Slavery was an institution in the United states; this would also mean that the brutality of slavery was accepted a Christian precept. Even the mistreatment of the Indians would have been considered a Christian precept. In fact,...

When God calls you. The fiery way to God

 "Why is my life so hard? Why are these things happening to me? I pray to God for healing, but there is no healing. I pray for better finances, but no money is forthcoming. I am so tired of these struggles; I am on the verge of giving up. I might as well live life the way I want to and hope to die soon. Have these thoughts ever come to your mind? These are thoughts many will encounter as they ascend the mountain of God. For many of us, life began well. We had a great time in our youth; we believed in love, we believed the future was bright, and we felt whole as a person. But somewhere along the way, hardship showed up. An illness, a broken heart, the death of a loved one, or broken aspirations sent us into despair and grief. Suddenly, life became dark and hopeless. But then, we heard the voice of God. We heard someone preach, 'Come to Jesus and all will be well; come to Jesus and He will give you the desires of your heart.' So we came to Jesus, hoping that we were back on ...
