4-5. And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.
Circumcision wasn't mentioned with Ishmael until he was 13 years old. The same day Abraham was circumcised.
And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he beget, and I will make him a great nation. But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto you at this set time in the next year. And he left off talking with him, and Elohiym went up from Abraham. And Abraham 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 Elohiym 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. And all the men of his house, born in the house, and bought with money of the stranger, were circumcised with him. Genesis 17:19-27 KJV
6-8. And Sarah said, Elohiym has made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me. And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? For I have born him a son in his old age. And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.
This joyous time in Abraham's camp brought sorrow to Ishmael. His brother was being treated more special than all the other childrens' births. At this point in time it was unavoidable. It was a path that was created when Sarah gave Hagar to Abraham.
9. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.
The Hebrew word for mocking is ṣāḥaq. Translated online is laughed. The same word is used in the following verses.
Then Abraham fell upon his face, and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear? Genesis 17:17
Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also? Genesis 18:12
14-21. And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it unto Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child, and sent her away: and she departed, and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. And the water was spent in the bottle, and she cast the child under one of the shrubs. And she went, and sat her down over against him a good way off, as it were a bow shot: for she said, Let me not see the death of the child. And she sat over against him, and lift up her voice, and wept. And Elohiym heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of Elohiym called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth you, Hagar? fear not; for Elohiym has heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in your hand; for I will make him a great nation. And Elohiym opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink. And Elohiym was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
What is interesting is that Paran is not that far from Petra. It is argued that early mosques faced Petra. In prophecy yet to be fulfilled, it is said the Jews will hide in the wilderness centered around Petra. Perhaps cast out with a little food and water like that of Ishmael and Hagar.
For the most part, the history of Islam started in the 7th century CE. However it is a branch of of the faith of Abraham and is much older in it's roots. The history of the Christian faith started in the 1st Century CE. The Jewish faith started in 587/586 BCE with the destruction of the first Temple. This is when the prophet Jeremiah hid the Ark of the Covenant and took the Princess, King Zedekiah's daughter to Ireland where she ruled over the House of Israel as High Queen. I say Judaism started around 586 BCE because falling away from Yahuah Elohiym's Word is not full worship of Yahuah Elohiym. This was the beginning of the Babylonian Talmud.
In Islam, they do not ask, pray, or supplicate to anyone other than Allah. This is why they repeat several times a day in their prayers, "You alone do we worship, and from You alone we seek assistance." They don't worship Muhammad, they respect him above all prophets.
In the Catholic faith, praying to Saints happens every day. But in the Protestant faith it is not acceptable to pray to Saints. For the Jews, prayers to saints is not acceptable. But the hagiography of their saints is their consultant. Jews do not say the name of Yahuah except for the High Priest on Yom Kippur. The question is, who do they pray to by not addressing Yahuah Elohiym?
It's these and other beliefs in faith that divided Ishmaelites and Jews. I say Jews because they have divided themselves off from the Northern Israelites. Northern Israelites heard the Gospel as soon as Joseph of Arimathea arrived in Wales soon after the Resurrection.
But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Matthew 15:24.
Yahusha is the Prophet of Islam, Spiritual Savior for Christians. Yahusha is sent to the House of Israel. In fact Yahusha said that the Jews had a different father.
You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. John 8:44
You could say Yahusha speaks for Christians and Muslims. But yet Muslims have been killing christians for like 1400 years. Catholics killed Celtic Christians for several 100's years. Jews sold Celtic Christians to Muslims. Irish slaves was sold into Africa and then across the Atlantic Ocean. Muslims took mostly female slaves east while mostly male slaves went across the Atlantic Ocean. History shows and causes a division between Islam, Judaism and Christianity.
Economics causes division, unions and wars. It's all about the gold, power and pride. Nazi Germany confiscated the wealth of the Jews because they were still reeling from the Great Depression. The Nazis saw the Jews as economic parasites. For a Jew to leave ment to relinquishing 50 percent of one’s monetary assets. Then the remaining cash needed to be exchanged for the other currency. The next problem for the Jews willing to immigrate was that the world's Nations was rejecting them. The M.S. St. Louis filled with more than 900 Jewish passengers, seeing the lights Miami Florida, was refused entry by immigration authorities. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was President at the time.
The question is, why did Germany choose to be under Nazi control? My dad asked a similar question to a German immigrant who lived in Germany during WW2. His answer was, why did the USA choose FDR? It was for the same reasons. For the USA it was called the New Deal. The next question is, why did the Great Depression happen? It was overinflated shares, growing bank loans, agricultural overproduction, panic selling, stocks purchased on margin, higher interest rates, and a negative media industry that was blamed for the 1929 crash.
Vulnerabilities in the Global Economy caused by the Federal Reserve System was supposed to ensure the nation’s economic stability by controlling the money supply. This was created in 1913, the next year after the Titanic sank that had banking representives aboard who was going to vote against the 1913 regulations. The institution’s policies didn't work. Not only didn't it stop it, it may have caused the world depression.
Most of the Jewish people under the Nazis was middle class. They were not a threat to Nazi Germany or the USA. But yet state-sponsored persecution killed six million Jewish men, women and children. Not counted are the 10 million Soviet civilians and military personnel. Not counted are over a million others like the Polish civilians, Serb civilians, People with disabilities, Gypsies, German political opponents, and Homosexuals. Not counted are the 15 million military personnel. Civilian deaths was over 38 million. The question is, what is the next banking change going to bring? The Mark of the Beast will bring the death to half the world's population in one form or another.
Hating your neighbor brings war. The Jewish people have the belief that the Holocaust will never happen again because they will stand up and be heard. This in itself is a good thing. But it's also good that their Christian and Muslim neighbors are treated equally under Israelite Law. People should be able to believe what they may without government or Religious hardship. To sort out who did what on a global scale is ineffectual. Just by treating your neighbor like you care can turn the person who is afraid of what they might do into being polite. The question is, how many people know what Love is. The word love has been polluted with many meanings.
Asking Google what love is I got this response. (1) strong affection for another arising out of kinship or personal ties. maternal love for a child. (2) : attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers. What the two have in common is that there is a return on their affection and personal ties. What Yahusha is saying is the following verses.
Yahusha said unto him, you shall love Yahuah your Elohiym with all your heart, and with all your soul, and all your mind. Matthew 22:37
...You shall love your neighbor as yourself. Matthew 22:39
The question is, what is the Greek word for love? There's more than one. Agapaō is the Greek word for love in these two verses. It is to be full of good-will. It is to welcome, to entertain Yahuah and your neighbor. The opposite of love is to be an adversary against Yahuah and your neighbor. Yahuah Elohiym loved us so he provided a way for our salvation. This was the blood atonement through Yahusha Hamashia. The difference between loving Yahuah and your neighbor is heart, soul and mind. They belong to Him, not your neighbors.
In Judaism they believe that they get to heaven by virtue. The same god in their religion shows them good and evil. Their god is grace and their adversary. They believe Satan is a good angel.
In Islam, the Iblis was thrown out of heaven, after he refused to prostrate himself before Adam. This is a different story than the Christian story. However Iblis is still an adversary and cast out of Heaven. Pride and disobedience like the Christian Satan was his crimes. Iblis became ash-Shaitan, who rebeled against God. In the Islamic teachings, God said, “Get out! You are disgraced and expelled! I swear I shall fill Hell with you and all who follow you.”
Islam is closer to the Christian teachings than the Jewish teachings. One verse the Jews use is Isaiah 45:7. They see it as that God is the creator of good and evil and the master of it. But let's look deeper into the hidden meanings. Yahuah was using Cyrus as his servant. Yahuah was speaking to Cyrus like he spoke to Job.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I Yahuah do all these things.
Interpretation: I form the ôr (light of heavenly luminaries, moon, sun, stars) and create the ḥōšeḵ (secret place): I make peace, and I create raʿ (disagreeable, unhappiness): I Yahuah do all these things.
Yahuah Elohiym made background radiation, Dark Matter and Dark Energy. This isn't saying Yahuah is responsible for Wickedness. It's like the Dark side of the Moon. Both sides of the moon receives equal sunlight. It's just we cannot see the backside of the moon from Earth. We do not know much about Dark Energy and Dark Matter.
Self improvement our Adversary
When self improvement comes at the expense of your neighbor, you are your neighbor's adversary. You thinking that being an adversary for self gain is righteousness, that is a deception. We then are no better than the any other person in the world.
Yahuah Elohiym is not His children's adversary. What father would give his child food, then take it away from them because of mind games? That is to say, "psychologically manipulative behavior intended to discomfit another person or gain an advantage over them."
If you do well, shall you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And unto you shall be his desire, and you shall rule over him. Genesis 4:7
This verse is used by the Jews in support of their views on how God is the God of temptation and virtue. In the very next verse, Cain killed his brother. You would have been able to see the anger in Cain's face when verse 7 happened. The joyful peace was no longer in Cain. In the Jewish mindset, God tempted Cain to kill his brother and so he did. How can one blame Cain if Yahuah had done that? Then in verse 11, God cursed Cain for what he did. I like how the ESV says it.
If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is contrary to you, but you must rule over it.”
Sin is like a Beast. It is like a cat, that waits for it's prey to move. Going from not moving, sin will strike at your desires with lightning speed. Your desires are overwritten, contrary to what you are. You find yourself doing horrible things. If you do not rule over it, Sin will rule you.
Destroying neighboring country's cities is a horrible thing. Not protecting people of other faiths from violence is a horrible thing when they're meek. Sin has overwritten all Religions to a point of being a slave to Sin. But yet there is enough Holiness in them to satisfy the human need to worship one Elohiym. To put Evil and Righteousness into one God is to go back to the Garden of Eden and to partake of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. It is the way of Cain. The war is not between Muslims, Jews and Christians. The war is between Righteousness and the Knowledge of Good and Evil. The Battle of Armageddon in the end will be the Leader of Lawlessness against Yahusha Hamashia.
Man's Laws can lead to war. Moses is looked up to by Jews, Muslims and Christians. But yet they are at war with each other.
Noahide Laws believe that "Jews are a racially superior people, with an innate ability to access divinity." The problem with that is, it leaves out the other tribes of Israel. It leaves out the Samaritan that had more compassion than the Jews. Yahuah Elohiym eliminated the King of Judah. The Princess of Judah was delivered to Ireland by the Prophet Jeremiah after Judah was taken captive by Babylon. She was King Zedekiah's daughter that married into the Royal line of Northern Israelites. Jerusalem was taken away from Judah by the Babylonians while High Queen Teia brought great prosperity to her Kingdom. Then the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and Judah again. Yahuah Elohiym could have prevented that from happening if it was his will. But yet Rome is blamed and Yahuah's will is not mentioned. But yet Satan in their eyes is a good angel.
Quote, "Jewish experts on the Noahide Laws say Christians can’t be Noahides unless they deny Jesus."
Jesus is a Prophet of Islam and the Lamb of Yahuah Elohiym to the Christians. To embrace Noahide Laws is to deny Yahusha/Jesus and Mohammed.
The Five pillars of Islam
- Profession of Faith (shahada). The belief that "There is no god but God, and Muhammad is the Messenger of God" is central to Islam. ...
- Prayer (salat). ...
- Alms (zakat). ...
- Fasting (sawm). ...
- Pilgrimage (hajj).
I am not Islam's judge but Noahide Laws is not Islamic teachings in my opinion. Muslims will not submit to Rabbinical authority over Muhammad.
Christians will be divided on Noahide Laws. There will be those who will be killed because of their Laws and there will be those who will abandon faith in Yahusha Hamashia.
The question is, what will bring world peace? The short answer is, the Prince of Peace. Yahuah Elohiym will let the world try to establish itself under the world's beast system, but it will also be the Day of Wrath. In this Beast system there will be a Mark of the Beast. By taking this Mark, you will be eternally doomed to the Lake of Fire. For more information see Revelation chapters 13 and 14.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3
John wrote 666 in Greek. Counting a number that has a face value is to say 666 is the overall appearance, not the complete information. By turning the ancient number sideways, it is said that it appears as Bis’m Allah or “In the Name of Allah! But 666 has no significance to Islam. Islam cannot be held responsible in prophecy for being the Beast System when it doesn't fit the operating method of Ishmael. It has everything to do with an implants under the skin of the right hand or forehead. Neuro implants is technological that connects directly to a subject's brain. It's usually placed on the surface of the brain, or attached to the brain's cortex. It will read and edit human thoughts. The information implanted in the human mind will be against Yahusha/Jesus. Every thought could be uploaded to the Beast System. You could be facing charges from the world government for just thinking things against the government or the government's religion.
The question is, who fits the operating method of Antichrist, the Beast. There's two that do and they are the sons of Jacob, Israel.
Simon and Levi are a pair. Their weapons are tools of lawlessness. Let my person not be included in their council, Let not my being be counted in their assembly. For when angry they slay men, And when pleased they maim oxen. Cursed be their anger so fierce, And their wrath so relentless. I will divide them in Jacob, Scatter them in Israel. Genesis 49:5-7
The question is, where is Simon's and Levi's descendants today? Simon was given land that was inside of Judah. Near the place where Ishmael was after getting booted out from Abraham's camp. It is thought that the Babylonians deported them to the Kingdom of Aksum, Ethiopia today. This new home was behind the dark mountains. Interestingly they are called the Simien Mountains, part of the Ethiopian Highlands.
As for Levi's descendants, they are scattered throughout the world. The Druids claimed to be Levites, Acts chapter 29. But it is the Talmud Levites said, “His blood be upon us and upon our children.” It's not a Druid problem. Lawlessness' operating method points towards Judah.
Then said Jesus,Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. Luke 23:34
Peace is more than a time where there's no war. Peace is when corrupted leadership no longer has power. Peace is having compassion when your neighbor doesn't deserve compassion.
“A soft word turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” Proverbs 15:1
Wars could be avoided if rhetoric was avoided. Rhetoric is is a Satanic art. Satan as in the adversary of Yahuah Elohiym. If the truth of the matter was brought to the light of day, the answer to bringing peace would be obvious.
Adolf Hitler's harsh rhetoric stirred Germany into taking action against the nations that was crippling the German nation. Once the taste of victory touches the lips of any nation, they crave more victories to the point of world domination. Only Antichrist will be able to get close into doing so. But his world empire will end with the Battle of Armageddon.
The Prince of Peace
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6
Notice that we as humans a son was given. However to God the Word was made flesh. The Word is God. Notice how the government is on his shoulders. To Islam he is a prophet. To Christians he is our salvation. To the Jews He was rejected. They didn't want to give up the way of the Talmud. But all would agree that Yahusha was extraordinary and His counsel was unbeatable when intelligent priests laid an intellectual trap for Him. Isaiah says Yahusha is the mighty EL. The verse in the KJV says everlasting Father. Having used translations online, I believe this is saying Yahusha is the Divine Child. Only to humans a child, but to EL, the Divine Word made flesh. EL spoke the universe into being, EL can speak His own Word into Human flesh. However Yahusha is Yahuah of Hosts. EL's Word made into the Angel of EL.
However the Jews and the Muslims reject a plural God. There's another word for EL, and that is Lexicon :: Strong's H426 - 'ĕlâ. This is the masculine noun for God. Here's some verses where Ela (Allah) is mentioned.
Then ceased the work of the House of (Ela or Allah) which is at Jerusalem. So it ceased unto the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia. Ezra 4:24
And it is a rare thing that the king requires, and there is none other that can show it before the king, except (ELA or Allah) whose dwelling is not with flesh. Daniel 2:11
I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou (ELA or Allah) of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and might, and has made known unto me now what we desired of you: for you have now made known unto us the king's matter. Daniel 2:23
I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the (ELA or Allah) of Daniel: for He is the living (ELA or Allah) and stedfast for ever, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end. Daniel 6:26
This blog is not promoting Islam, Christianity or Judaism. This blog is not intended to speak against Islam, Judaism or Christians. However I believe everyone should reexamine their relationship with Yahuah Elohiym. At the heart of the three faiths is the Elohiym of Abraham. Also Melchizedek, Abraham's High Priest. It is Yahusha Hamashia that has the title of High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.
Psalm 110
