ISAAC'S OLDER BROTHER How
Lovely Atef
al-Ghamri writes in the newspaper Al-Ahram, Cairo, Egypt...
The Muslims are coming."
The cry-- a rewording of the cold-war formula "the Russians are coming"-- hovers
over Western public opinion. While the warning reverberates to a certain degree
throughout the West, it is particularly strident in the United States. Dan Quayle
warned of the "threat of Islamic Fundamentalist extremism and likened it to Nazism
and Communism. In the press, dozens of articles and analyses, speak of "Islam's
war against the West" and link the words "terrorism" and "Islamic Fundamentalism"
as if they were synonymous. Confronting
the anti-Islam campaign is not easy. There are two ways to portray Islam. The
easy way is to present it as the monolithic historical enemy of the West. The
hard way is to refrain from these ready-made clichés and to engage in some
sound realistic analysis. Only the second way will reveal the distortion at the
core of the Western view which holds that Islam is nothing more than Iran's Ayatollah
Khomeini, Libya's Muammar Qadaffi, and terrorism. The
anti-Islam campaign has political roots as well. For the West, particularly the
United States, the need for an "enemy" to replace the Soviet specter is, to a
large degree, an economic imperative. The specter of an enemy incites national
passions that support the large defense budgets, high quotas of arms production,
and military intervention abroad.
May
I suggest that you set aside all but one of your pre-suppositions as you read
this book. The only one which we cannot set aside is this, "The Word of God, the
Bible, is the only revelation of the Truth which we can totally trust." What you
have been told about man and his behavior, during your lifetime, is flawed by
the motives of the ones who delivered the information to you.
I invite you to examine all of the statements in this book by God's Holy Word
and the references given. I trust your conclusions far more than I trust the so-called
"scholars" and "experts" who propagandize us through the media. I am also willing
to hear your response if it is supported by God's Word.

13 CHAPTER
ONE: Introduction:
Laying the 9/11 Myth to Rest Whenever
the sky is falling it must be blamed on either a Fundamentalist Muslim or a Fundamentalist
Christian, right? The World Trade Center dropped in ten seconds after a very short
fire. "Truthers" demand an investigation to see if it was a demolition
done by some hidden hand in America. Building Seven was demolished with no explanation.
Big trucks of gold
bullion drove out from the basement of building seven before it was demolished,
and no one knows where they went. One truck seems to have refused to start, so
it was found later under the rubble. In
fact, it may be that the whole 9/11 event was an attempt, possibly successful,
to rob the Islamic nation of Kuwait of its vast gold deposit under the World Trade
Center in a vault. Did Kuwait get it back? We know that President George H. Bush
(senior), through our ambassador to Iraq, April
Glaspie, gave Saddam Hussein implied consent to invade Kuwait. And, Bush withheld
assistance to the Kuwaitis until Iraq had raped the city and were ready to return
to Baghdad. But
no, 9/11 had to be only the work of Muslims according to official media and government
sources. The truth will obviously never be known. All high officials of the world
refuse to talk about it. This author used to pass the pilot school where the Arabs
who flew the planes were allegedly trained. The school is for small aircraft pilot
training. Later, they attempted to learn to fly commercial airplanes, and were
encouraged by trainers to give it up because they were incompetent and poor
learners. To imagine that the two planes flown into the World Trade Center, banking
sharply just before impact, could have been so masterfully flown with such limited
flight training is for only the gullible to believe. I do not believe it. I
tell you this because it is 9/11 which sent America into Arab/Muslim phobia. Islam
has been horribly violent since Mohammed first went forth to conquer in the late
600s AD But, it seems that an event staged by some very UN-Muslim non-Arab characters
is the modern foundation of sentiment against Islam. The actual history of Islamic
violence is lost on this generation. The truth cannot be known, and knowing the
truth would probably demoralize America irreparably, but 9/11 will never be the
context for defining Islam by this author. Mohammed taught Jihad and conversion
to Islam by the sword, this is true. But to connect this fact and 9/11 is based
on NO modern evidence. Isaac's
Older Brother God
and history are much gentler with the Arabs than we are, so we open the Bible
to see how Jehovah loved Ishmael, who was one of the biblical descendants of father
Abraham-- the father of the Arab and Jewish people.
Before we look at the origin of the Arab people I hear a question. You ask, "why
start with the Arabs?" Answer: Islam claims that its roots start with Abraham
and his oldest son, Ishmael. Then those roots come down through Moses and the
Old Testament, through the "prophet" Jesus, to arrive in the last prophet Mohammed
and Mecca in 625 AD. Also, the Koran is an Arabic book in its pure form, and wherever
Islam goes the Arab mystique goes and conquers culturally. One third of the world's
Arabs, 247 tribes, live in North Africa alone and speak Arabic and French.
(FOOTNOTE 2: 57 / 56 / 1698; 104 / 5 / 212) Indeed, "Arabia," in
rather large numbers, extends as far as Dearborn, Michigan and Birmingham, England.
Who
is an Arab? First,
the Arab of the Bible is a descendent of Abraham and Ishmael in northern Arabia
or of Joktan in southern Arabia. Joktan, father of southern Arab tribes, was the
great-great-great granduncle of Abraham. The Arabs briefly ruled Egypt, but they
have never themselves been invaded or diluted since ancient times.
(FOOTNOTE 3: 160 / 90-92 / 1767-1768) So
the Arabs are as Semitic as any Jew, and the southern Arabs are descended from
a line closer to Shem than the Jews. (FOOTNOTE 4: Genesis 10:22-31; I Chronicles
1:18-27) Arab bashing is as antisemitic as Jew bashing since both Isaac and his
older brother Ishmael descended from Abraham and Noah's son Shem, father of all
Semitic people! In chapter two we will show that the Arabs are still largely Ishmaelites.

Ishmael We
find that the Bible gives the best account of the beginning of the Arab people.
The following is from Genesis 16:1-16 in the King James Bible, the only Bible
used in this book. Please read carefully, and refer back to this Bible text during
the following discussion. The alphabetical letters in parenthesis are the outline
for the discussion to follow: Genesis
16:1-16, Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid,
[ a ] an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar. And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now,
the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it
may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of
Sarai. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her maid the Egyptian, after Abram had
dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan, and gave her to her husband Abram to be
his wife.
Abram
was Abraham's name before God changed it to Abraham.
[ b ] And he went in unto
Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress
was despised in her eyes. And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I
have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I
was despised in her eyes: the LORD judge between me and thee. But Abram said unto
Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when
Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face. [ c ] And the angel
of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain
in the way to Shur. And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and
whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
And the angel of the LORD said unto her, [ d ] Return to thy mistress, and submit
thyself under her hands. And
the angel of the LORD said unto her, [ e ] I will multiply thy seed exceedingly,
that it shall not be numbered for multitude. And the angel of the LORD said unto
her, Behold, thou art with child and shalt bear a son, [ f ] and shalt call his
name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. And [ g ] he will be
a wild man; [ h ] his hand will be against every man, [ i ] and every man's hand
against him; [ j ] and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren. [ k
] And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me:
for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me? Wherefore the well
was called Beerlahairoi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered. [ l ] And Hagar
bare Abram a son: and Abram called his son's name, which Hagar bare, Ishmael.
And Abram was fourscore and six years old, when Hagar bare Ishmael to Abram.
Page 15
Now we
discuss the text in detail: [
a ] "An Egyptian whose name was Hagar"
The
mother of the Arabs is an Egyptian. But, according to the Bible, the blood line
is decided by the father, as can be seen in all of the genealogies of the Bible,
and in the blood line of The Lord Jesus Christ, He is Lord. The modern notion
promoted by Zionists, that the mother decides Jewishness, is a very recent attempt
to avoid the lost genealogies of Jewishness through the father which destroys
a Jew's claim to the land or to the priesthood according to the Old Testament
(see the Bible, Ezra). So, Ishmael is solidly Semitic in father Abraham, and the
Arabs have every right to this distinction. [
b ] "And he (Abraham) went in unto Hagar, and she conceived"
Abraham
did not break the law of the land when he took Hagar from Sarai. The code of Hammurabi
allowed for this, and that was the civil law under which Abraham lived. Islamic
law would permit this also according to Mohammed's example of using concubines,
but God had instituted a higher law. The first man Adam had verbally given the
doctrine of marriage when God gave Adam his wife named Eve:
Adam said in The Bible, Genesis 2:23-24, "...This is now bone of my bones,
and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of
Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto
his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
In Matthew 19:5 Jesus quoted Adam and said that the two (not 11 as with Mohammed)
shall become one flesh. So Abraham violated this doctrine and had a son by Hagar,
and the jealousy which followed was exceeded only by the jealousy among the wives
of Mohammed 2500 years later! (FOOTNOTE 5: 34 / 172 / 35; 133 / 280-283
/ 1489-1490; Koran 33:37; also vs. 50-51) God showed mercy on Abraham and did
not punish him, but because God wanted his divine plan followed, he told Abraham
to start over again and have a son by Sarai, his "one flesh" wife.
[ c ] "The angel of the
Lord found her (Hagar)"
The Lord Jesus Christ, He is Lord, is known
as the angel of the Lord in the Old Testament. He appeared to the mother of the
Arab race to stop her from fleeing. Why go back to Abraham's tents?
[ d ] "Return to thy mistress..."
Jehovah God wanted Ishmael to have in his body the same mark of anointing
that every Jew would have-- circumcision: Page
16 Genesis
17:23-26, And Abraham (God changed his name) took Ishmael his son, and all that
were born in his house, and all that were bought with his money, every male among
the men of Abraham's house; and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the
selfsame day, as God had said unto him. And Abraham was ninety years old and nine,
when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. And Ishmael his son was
thirteen years old, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin. In the
selfsame day was Abraham circumcised, and Ishmael his son. Since
Ishmael was thirteen years old, we could say that he was circumcised on his Bar-mitzvah.
We also know that if Abraham, who was a righteous man, would circumcise Ishmael,
he would certainly tell him who Jehovah was and how to worship Him. Later in the
book you will realize that Ishmael also left Abraham with God's true name on him
and in his mouth. [
e ] Ishmael's "seed (descendants)... shall not be numbered for multitude"
God
promised Hagar that Ishmael's Arab race would multiply beyond counting. This is
true to this day, 2500 years later, with the whole of the Middle East and North
Africa being Arabized. In the Middle East, only Israel is not Arab! If this had
not happened, God would be a liar. Pity the small souls who try to say that the
Arabs of today are some hybrid from elsewhere. These writers have opened debate
with God. They ought to read their Bible instead of Mother Goose. (See
Appendix No. One.) [
f ] "...thou... shalt call his name Ishmael"
Ishmael was named by God!
His name means "Elohim hears" or "God hears." There were only about
20 men in the Bible who were named by God, and Ishmael is a beautiful name. It
is a name of mercy, and it is NOT "Ishma'allah".
Dear reader, you might as well know where we are headed. Allah was not the name
that was in Abraham's or Ishmael's mouth. "El" was in the first Arab's name, Ishma-EL,
and only a few of the patriarchs of Israel, such as Eli, Elijah. Elisha, and Samu-el,
could boast of that distinction.  So,
it is the height of anti-Semitism for an Aryan American or mongrel Zionist Germanic
Jew to attack the Arabs as if they are alien to the Jewish world. If you get an
old book about Palestine from the library, one with the steel block etchings,
you will see that in older times the Jews and Arabs looked very much alike. This
is not so today. Many of the modern Jews from Europe, or Zionists, look
like Aryans and the white race. More later on them. (FOOTNOTE 6: 157 / 140-152
/ 1883-1890; The New Jewish Encyclopedia, Behrman House, 1962 Browse through
this book looking at the Jews from Europe, then turn to p. 483 and look at the
Yemenite Jews. They look like Arabs. The Jews of Europe are 2500 years [and a
lot of mixed blood] removed from Israel.) In
the photo at the right you see Yemenite Jews from about 1949. Do they look like
Arabs? The fact is, these are possibly the purest Jews in the world, for they
proudly claim to have never compromised their blood line with any Gentile or alien
blood. These Jews look like the Jews of David's day and would look very much like
father Abraham. [
g ] "and he (Ishmael) will be a wild man"
The modern Bible versions
prefer "wild ass" or "donkey." There is no justification for this except in the
mind of anti-Semitic Bible mutilators who are really thinking "jack-ass." This
is why we only use the King James Bible. It is the Bible that loves Arabs, Jews,
and all men in the name of Jesus, He is Lord. Page
17 Arabs
are "wild" in that they cannot be tamed. To many ancient and modern Arabs, war
and fighting are good recreation. It may be fierce in the morning, and by evening
all participants will sit down to coffee. We in the white race could learn to
get over our wars so quickly. Of course, the Saladins and Osama bin Ladens of
the ages make it easy to tag Arabs with a violent nature, but this Bible text
is not speaking of that.
Arabs even find ways to go to war without really trying to kill anyone. (FOOTNOTE
7: 103 / 18-19 / 1684) Those who have studied the Middle East know
that an Arab can be very loyal to his friends and show gracious hospitality in
a way unknown in the West, but don't try to overpower him or subject him. You
will suffer for it, even if his grandson has to even the score many years later.
World leaders who wage war on Arabs must be very careful from then on for double
crossing Saddam Hussein, Ghadaffi, and other Arab leaders. Even as the US caught
Saddam Hussein, his followers were killing US soldiers in the streets by stealth,
and this will never end. Ishmael was the untamable father of this "wild" trait
that Arabs have guarded for 3000 years. In our judgment of "wild" Arabs, let us
not forget our jolly Anglo Saxon history. Our forefathers were not always quite
as gentle as the Oxford club would have us to believe! [
h ] "His hand will be against every man"
The Arabs have a proverb, "I
and my brothers and my cousins against the stranger; I and my brothers against
my cousin; I, against my brothers." Living in the deserts of Arabia for all those
years required the Arab to be strong in self-defense. There were no police, so
justice was, and still is, by revenge. To forgo revenge would mean to be a coward
and lose authority in one's acre, and the whole of Arabia is every Arab's acre
to claim if he can take it. The royal family of Saudi Arabia is simply a modern
version of some ordinary wandering Bedhoin, the Bani Saud, who rode out of the
past and who conquered best. Anwar Sadat found out the hard way, as did King Faisal,
that Arabs still don't like to be humbled, even by each other. This is also why
the Arab always extends the right hand to serve or greet his guests in order to
show that he has no malice. [
i ] "Every man's hand is against him (the Arabs)"
No empire has ever
successfully subjected the Arabs. The Persians had a brief hold on Saba (south
Arabia) but lost it quickly. Rommel, the German WW II commander, known as "the
desert fox," found out that the Arabs win in the end. Germany left no trace of
their time in North Africa except hulks of rusting tanks and Duesenburgs buried
in the sands of the Sahara Desert.
The British tried to conquer Egypt, and the result was that Arabia conquered England.
How? Emin Pasha, the European explorer and ruler of Equatoria, Africa in
1880, was supposed to be German, but he became so Arabized that no Europeans could
be certain of his loyalties. The Englishman, Lawrence of Arabia, turned Arab to
the core. Today, Islam is conquering Great Britain where they have made many converts
to Islam and built the world's second grandest mosque. I say old top, who conquers
whom?
Page 18 The
crusaders of the Roman Catholic Church learned how it feels to get whipped by
Muslims when the Turks took back what the Pope took from them. (FOOTNOTE8 : Mediaeval
and Modern History, Philip Van Ness Myers, Ginn & Co, 1885, p. 121-146,
164, 168.) During Desert Storm, the US Military found out how silly an Arab can
make you look when they bombed 200 of Saddam Hussein's plastic decoy scud missiles.
US intelligence also had quite a time trying to figure out which of the five Saddams
was the real one. (Inside information from Arab friends) These facts seem to have
been lost after the capture of Saddam by George Junior. The real Sadaam Hussein
may well be living in Dubai in a penthouse.
Islam has also shown us the zeal of the Arab to survive in its doctrine of Jihad,
or holy war. Some have called Jihad the sixth pillar of Islam, but this trait
of the Arabs, which was plagiarized by Mohammed in 625 AD as a doctrine of Islam,
was prophesied by Jehovah in 2500 BC to Hagar. [
j ] "He shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren"
The "ALL" clearly
means that Isaac will be permanently a neighbor to Ishmael, modern Arab bashers
notwithstanding! It is appalling to hear the slur "sand nigger" coming from those
who claimed that they rescued Kuwait during Desert Storm. One white racist, Pastor
Noe in Detroit, told me that I would have to just get used to this prejudice.
Well, I won't, nor should he, and shame on any Christian who will not resist this
openly. We
mentioned Joktan earlier. It is sometimes hard today to be certain if an Arab
is descended from Joktan or Ishmael, but there is no doubt about Arabness. Joktan
had thirteen sons, Ishmael had twelve, and Jacob had twelve. It seems that Jehovah
was dividing up these families to be sure they shared the Semitic acres he assigned
to them.
I hear you Bible "scholars." Yes, God gave the covenanted land to Abraham, but
God never allowed the Jews to conquer or destroy the Ishmaelites. The fact is,
they lived together very well. When Abraham died, Isaac and Ishmael had no trouble
burying their father in family unity, (Genesis 25:8-9). David's camel herder
was an Ishmaelite, (I Chronicles 27:39.) Also, Arabs, the Rechabites, who were
faithful to the teachings of their father, Jonadab, refused to drink wine and
were used by Jehovah as a model of faithfulness and as an accusation against Judah
(Jeremiah 35).  In
recent centuries Jews and Arabs have lived together and gotten along very well
for long periods. The present history of Israel has changed this, but in
Baghdad, Jews used to pass dishes across the street to their Arab neighbors on
Yom Kippur, while Arab Muslims sent food to their Jewish neighbors on the Muslim
festival, Eid. In
the 1922 photo at the right you see King Abdulla Ibn Hussein of Transjordan sits
under the watchful eyes of his Jewish bodyguards, Habani Yemenite brothers Sayeed,
Salaah, and Saadia Sofer (notice Safeed's especially long sidecurls, left), uncles
of today's Abir Aluf, Grandmaster Yehoshua Sofer. Page
19
During
700 to 900 AD, the Muslim Sheik of Baghdad and the Jewish Exilarch would spend
long evenings drinking coffee and discussing Jewish and Islamic theology. This
was also true in Palestine up to 1947 when real Jews were "convinced" by European
Zionist terrorists to drop these courtesies to Arabs.
The Jewish and Arab tolerance for each other is seen in the northern suburbs of
Detroit, Michigan where you find the Arabs in Southfield right next to the Jews
in Royal Oak, and there is a lot more tolerance than the media portrays. Again,
the talking heads of TV give you all of your pictures from the heat of the struggle
between the Palestinians and the Israeli Government. For many years a Jew dominated
the trade in Taima, a town and Oasis in northern Arabia which was named for its
founder, Tema, a son of Ishmael. But they didn't have TV back then, so we missed
that one! [
k ] "she (Hagar) called the name of the Lord... thou God seest me"
Hagar
gave the name of Jehovah to a place in Israel, Beerlahairoi. Again, this shows
that the events of Abraham's life include the Arabs without any reservations by
God. If God was angry at Hagar and Ishmael He certainly wouldn't tolerate this
Egyptian girl using his name so freely. Get used to it, God has never been mad
at the Arabs! Jesus died for them and delights to see an Arab repent and be converted.
Do you? [
l ] "Hagar bare Abram a son (Ishmael)"
Ishmael was the elder brother
of Isaac, yet today the Arabs are pictured by Zionists as the rotten little brats
of the Middle East. When the Euro-Zionists came into Palestine they killed off
whole villages of Arabs who never resisted. Zionists told the Arabs they would
be safe if they abandoned their homes and lived in the hills, then they killed
the Arabs before they got out of town. (FOOTNOTE 9: 19 / 36-53 / shelf )
Today these
Zionists tell gullible Baptist preachers who visit Israel that Zionist Jews planted
the 200 year old orchards in Israel. These preachers come back to their churches
in Lynchburg, Virginia with a case of the warm fuzzies, repeat the lies the Israeli
tour guides told them, and say such stupid things as, "I am a Zionist." Beware
of the talking heads who took a guided tour to Israel.
The explanation for the Zionist brutality, and the Intifada it inspired, is that
Satan is trying to inspire both Jews and Arabs to self-destruct so that Messiah
Jesus Christ cannot restore these two families in His coming kingdom. More about
this later. Satan is also using the United States to fuel this horror by arming
both sides, and so the new Boogie man to replace the USSR is the Arabs of the
Middle East. The destruction of the World Trade Center brought fierce ungodly
hate into the hearts of American Christians. This new lust for blood is now used
by a former drunk from Texas to drive the USA into a massive war and hate fest
which will kill (indeed, has killed) many innocent Arabs who are caught up in
the crossfire. It was not always this way in the past.
Before we go on to God's promises to Abraham you might be interested to learn
how an Arab determines if he is a true Arab. First,
he must speak Arabic.
This may be classical Arabic or some clan tongue, but it is essential. The exception
would be second generation Arab children of immigrants living outside of the Middle
East.
Page 20 Second,
a true Arab must have been brought up in an Arab culture, even if it is transplanted
to Dearborn, Michigan or Birmingham, England. Third,
he must live in an Arab
country or enclave in another country. Fourth,
He must believe
in Mohammed's teachings. The exception is the Arab Catholic, such as Coptic Christians
in Egypt, and Palestinian "Christians" who are considered Arabs.
Fifth,
he must cherish the mystique of the
Arabia of the past and the notion of "the Arab Nation" now.
Sixth,
he must have a prejudiced preference
for members of other Arab nations. He must defend Arabs of all origins. This shows
up clearly in the disdain that Arabs have for Iranians and Black Muslims, in spite
of the fact that they are Muslims. There has been a certain US President who passed
himself off as a Muslim, only to learn that the Arab Muslims think he is a joke.
Exceptions
to the above rules can be made, but if one falls down in two or three points,
then one is seen by Arabs as not truly an Arab. (FOOTNOTE 10: 121 / 13 /
1708) There
have even been a few Whites, like Lawrence of Arabia and Emin Pasha, who dissolved
so well into Arabness that they were considered Arab by their Arab friends, but
they had to be in Arab lands and fluent in Arabic to experience this.
"O that
Ishmael might live before thee" We
now look at God's promises to Abraham for Ishmael. All of us would do well to
notice how Abraham and God loved Ishmael, the father of the Arabs:
Genesis 17:18-21, And Abraham
said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee! [ a ] And God said, Sarah
thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: [ b
] and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with
his seed after him. [ c ] And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: Behold, I have
blessed him, and [ d ] will make him fruitful, [ e ] and will multiply him exceedingly;
[ f ] twelve princes shall he beget, [ g ] and I will make him a great nation.
But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee
at this set time in the next year.
Now, we discuss the text in detail: O
that Ishmael might live before thee! Only a stupid bigot, who raises his hate
mongering above his love of the Word of God, would miss the point here. Abraham
loved Ishmael. So far, this was all the children he had. Ishmael looked to Abraham
like a good candidate for the mercy and blessing of God. Abraham may have spent
many an evening sitting in the front of his tent cuddling little Ishmael, and
the boy had won his Daddy's heart. Why not bless him, God? [
a ] "And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son..."
The father
of the Jews had only one son at this point. He loved Ishmael, and he hoped that
he had gotten the promised son of the covenant. But, he used a human rather than
holy method, so God could not give Ishmael the covenant.
Page 21 [
b ] "I will establish my covenant with him (Isaac) for an everlasting covenant,
and with his seed after him."
God chose Isaac to receive the covenant
or promise. This is a promise of heritage, real estate, and Messianic promise.
We all have to learn to live where God has put us, but you Arab readers, along
with your Jewish half-brothers, still have, from God, a more glorious promise
of the future than the rest of the world! It is amazing how the two half-brothers
have come to hate one another so much in our day. No other nations on earth have
a place equal to that of the Jews and the Arabs, and that under the oath of Jehovah
God. I believe that Satan accomplished, through the hate of Islam and Mohammed,
a great wicked victory in that Satan caused these two Semitic peoples to look
in hate at each other, rather than to rejoice in the special place they may look
for in the promises of Jehovah. [
c ] "As for Ishmael... I have blessed him."
God agreed to bless Ishmael.
Islamic revisionist writers have reversed this to make Ishmael the one to receive
the covenant. This is clearly absurd when we remember that Jesus, who offered
the kingdom to Israel, was a Jew, and there is no Arab Madhi, or Messiah, in the
Bible as claimed in the Koran. How had God blessed Ishmael? He speaks in the present
perfect tense as though it is accomplished. First,
in God's sovereignty, He had determined this from eternity past because He predestined
all things. Second,
God had blessed Ishmael for Hagar's sake, as we read earlier. God elected to respond
to Hagar BEFORE he responded to Abraham. Please read that again-- you who
think God hates Arabs. [
d ] "I... will make him fruitful"
The Arabs have given much to the world.
While the white hordes of Europe were heaving up great blocks of stone at Stonehenge
in honor of evil spirits, the Arabs were developing medicine and a mathematics
system which later made an antique of the Roman system.
This was the math base for the recent industrial and computer revolution. The
Arabs were great artists when the greatest art talent of the white race was snorting
sour beer in Bavaria. The great Jewish writers of the Middle Ages who lived in
Spain wrote in Arabic because it was the language of culture in Spain. The Jewish
scholar, Moses Maimonides, did most of his writing in Arabic.
The Arabs brought the world coffee, and God gave them 70% of the world's oil.
Is it not peculiar how the world consumes and begs for their oil while they gripe
about the Arabs getting rich off of them? White supremacists just cannot bear
to enrich these fruitful Ishmaelites.
Dr. Fakouri, Director of the International Institute in Detroit, had prepared
for me a grand tour of the Arab community one day, and what hospitality her people
showed to me! She pointed out that the zero did not exist in the world until
the Arabs developed it. Without the zero, modern math would be impossible, and
the lack of binary math would totally prevent the use of the computer. We Americans
could not all live in debt if we had no zero to tell us when we had crossed from

see, the talking heads had you in fits over the Arabs. In fact, the Arabs are
very much in the interest of Jehovah who fulfills prophecy in them to this hour.
Their fruitfulness has blessed us all. [
e ] "I... will multiply him (Ishmael) exceedingly."
From this small
start in Genesis 17 we see that the Arab world has expanded to cover twentyone
nations today from the Iranian border (Iran is not Semitic but Aryan or white
race) to Morocco and from Lebanon to Djibouti in the Horn of Africa. Because of
Islam, Arabization reaches out to the Philippine Islands, Indonesia, China, Zanzibar,
Liverpool, and New York City.

f ] Twelve princes shall he beget"
The twelve princes of Ishmael balance
the twelve sons of Jacob. Familywise, neither Arab nor Jew is superior, and it
is obvious that God did this on purpose. The covenant of God for the Jews is not
because of them, rather; it is in spite of them and because they were a small
people (Deuteronomy 7:7). Several of Ishmael's twelve princes are with us to this
day in tribal and place names in northern Arabia.
Let us look at the Arab genealogy found in the Bible, Genesis 25:13 - 16, And
these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their
generations: the firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; and Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam,
and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah:
These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and
by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations.
Nebajoth, father of the Nabataeans, settled in northern Arabia. Arabs conquered
Egypt as the "Shepherd Kings," where God used them to sustain Jacob and the Jews
in Goshen, and they have remained in northern Arabia ever since. It was black
race Hamites, not Arabs, who ran the Arab kings out of Egypt, and then they turned
in hate on the Hebrews in Goshen. In the next chapter we see how Nebajoth shows
up at Messiah's altar in the future kingdom with his brother Kedar. Dumah
has been a town or settled area for all these centuries. Tema settled in the biggest
oasis in Arabia, now called Taima. It is still thriving, and it figures very importantly
in the Great Tribulation and in the plans of the coming of Messiah. Bible study
reveals much more about these twelve sons and their place in history.
[ g ] "I will make him a
great nation."
As the Jews are a nation of twelve tribes, the Arabs
are also a nation of twelve tribes, in the Old Testament, today, and in Messiah's
Kingdom. Are Ishmael's people still a "nation?" If not, God lied. Anyone who has
studied the Arab mind and politics knows that all of the Arab national leaders
expound on and on about "The Arab Nation." No other group of nations talks this
way. Shut off from the outside world by the sea and the peril of the desert around
them, the Arabs are the purest race in the world, even purer than the Jews, many
of whom have blond hair and blue eyes. (FOOTNOTE 11: 160 / 90 / 1768)
To illustrate their retention of national heritage from ancient roots and customs,
Arab hospitality resembles father Abraham's hospitality much better than that
of the Jews of today. Why? The Arabs did not spend 2500 years living with war
loving Germans like the Zionist Jews did. (FOOTNOTE 12: 63 / 7698 / 763;
Genesis 18)
Page 23 This
prophecy that Ishmael would be a nation explains the obsession Arabs have today
for unity as "the Arab nation." (FOOTNOTE 13: 121 / 204-206 / shelf) There
are always two or three Arab leaders who are convinced that they are Allah's choice
to lead the "Arab nation." Whether the Caliph or Saladin in the past, along with
the great Sultan of Oman, or, more recently, Nasser, Arafat, Ghadaffi, the Ayatollah
(a white man), Assad, or Saddam Hussein, it never quite seems to happen.
But, the Arabs continue to dream of one big nation from Baghdad to Morocco and
Khartoum to Beirut. The presence of Israel now adds focus to this, but "the Arab
nation" is not based in Jew hatred as promoted by modern propaganda. Long ago,
God told Abraham that Ishmael would think this way. Prophecy fulfilled is so encouraging
to the Bible believer. Does this help you to believe Jehovah loves the Arabs,
and that He keeps His promises for thousands of years? Dear Arab and Muslim friend,
Al Koran has no such encouragement for you. Only the God of Abraham and his true
Bible believers are the friends of the Arabs and the Jews without prejudice. I
must say here that the Jews need to look at this prophecy of God's preservation
of the Arab descendants of Ishmael. This fulfilled promise should encourage a
Jew to realize that the same God who preserved Ishmael all these centuries will
also preserve the Jews and send them their Messiah to reign in glory for a thousand
years. How sad that the religion of modern Judaism is so preoccupied with the
details of pride and self-love that they don't even look for the Messiah anymore.
In
conclusion: It
is peculiar how people both love and hate the Arabs. These wild people from Arabia
can put a theatre patron into a goggle eyed swoon when the plot involves Arab
sheiks on swift camels rescuing fair damsels. The riderless camel goes from ugly
to romantic if an Arab is perched on top. So, there is something very uncivilized
about two Massachusetts Liberals discussing how to control the Middle East while
they sip Arab coffee and stand on an imported Arab rug.
We note that certain alleged Christian scholars make claims in their books that
God is finished with the Arabs and that the modern Arabs are not the descendants
of Ishmael. This shows that these scholars are misguided and lazy, for the evidence
is in the Bible and in historic writings. This is discussed in Appendix
No. One.
I now invite you to learn the promise of the future to any Arab who will repent
of his sin and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Yitha, He is Lord. (FOOTNOTE
14: I use "Yitha" as the Arab name of Jesus because "Isa" is a pagan name
from Syria which Mohammed picked up in his travels. Isa had also become the name
of the primal Hindu cult, the Isa Upanishads in about 700 BC. We will discuss
this more in Chapter Twenty Two. "Yitha" is the spiritual
and Arabic equivalent of "Yeshua", the Hebrew. ) Mohammed gave no prophecies or
hope in the Koran concerning the future of Arabs with their Messiah. Mohammed's
Madhi, the Islamic Messiah, would come back as an Arab and die. Rather; the Lord
Jesus Christ is coming back to restore both of Abraham's sons, Ishmael and Isaac,
to their ancient family heritage just as He promised.
