Ishmael, Like as a Child of Egypt-To be Brought Under Submission to Israel-The True Son of the Promise

Although it can be found in several places, we must draw our initial source of reference regarding the end of the age from the song of Moses, in Deuteronomy, which this believer (and from other references, many others hold to this also) sets the circumstances for the many and various horrific events perpetrated against Israel (such as the holocaust) by the rest of an unbelieving world.

Make no mistake, the various nations and people that held and hold such animosities are required by Scriptural imperatives to pay in blood for their misdeeds against the people of Israel, and we are seeing the preparation for that as this is being written. Even here in the United States, while the American Administration still holds to a dead dream of a two state solution in Israel against the Holy Bible's directive of a revived Jewish State, we see judgment in weather caused destruction (over a thousand lightning caused fires-really, is this not Divinely inspired, or the flooding of the Mississippi, or going back to H. Katrina sinking New Orleans in a message of retribution for Gaza?). America's ultimate position as the final preparations for the upcoming contest against Israel is still to be seen; but in view of the current happenings, it does not take Biblical scholarship to see that all will be brought into submission to the LORD Almighty God of Israel.

In a Scriptural view considering the closing comment of this last post, there have been lengthy discussions regarding what is, or is not going to happen top Israel during the dark times found in the Holy Bible. That Israel is to be defended by Almighty God and brought through these difficult times at the hands of ungodly people is scored and underscored in so many places of the Holy Bible, we shall let it be sufficient to say that yes, the sons of Ishmael are prominently figured in the last times as contenders to the promise.

But as Egypt, the national heritage from which Ishmael is descended, has been and is to be brought under submission to the King of kings when He returns, so too are the sons of Ishmael. In this process, the children of Israel are to recognize that Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, requires belief and faith in the promise to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob through Yeshua, and will be chastised for their unbelief during this time as well. As such, the sooner the nation of Israel comes to terms with that, the sooner the completion of the promise takes place, and Israel takes her Biblical place as the center of the world under her LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.
