Much Broader Horizons for Islamic Jihad Movement!

The Middle East seed of conflict was planted long ago when Sarah did not have faith in God to provide the seed he had promised Abraham, but came up with a
plan to help God bring the seed through Hagar the Egyptian. The first recorded conflict between Isaac, the promised seed, and Ishmael, the self-help seed, is found in Genesis 21:9-12, and it has been going on ever since. The coming conflict between the descendants of the man Israel and the descendants of Hagar
and Keturah is setting up in the Middle East at the present time, being driven by the flames of the success of the Islamic Jihad extremists before the eyes of the Muslim world.
All these seeds of Abraham through Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah are headed down a path from which they cannot turn.
Genesis 21:9-12 – And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking. [10] Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Cast out this bondwoman and her son: for the son of this bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even
with Isaac. [11] And the thing was very grievous in Abraham’s sight because of his son. [12] And God said unto Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight because of the lad, and because of thy bondwoman; in all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken unto her voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.
The final conflict of the descendant seeds of Isaac’s son Israel and his 12 sons, with the descendant seeds of Ishmael through his 12 sons, is not in the far distant future, and the spirit of Islamic Jihad is growing among the descendants of the 12 sons of Ishmael, who have “mingled” with the descendants of the six sons of Abraham through Keturah.
Daniel 2:42-45 – And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and partly broken. [43] And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men: but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay.
[44] And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
“These kings” of verse 44 are the 10 Arab toes of verses 42 and 43. Christ will bring in his eternal kingdom on this earth will he returns to end the battle of Armageddon.
I Thessalonians 3:13 – To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable in holiness before God, even our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints.
Zechariah 14:9 – And the Lord shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, and his name one.

Iraq-Based Jihad Appears to Seek Broader Horizons

Over the last two years, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi has risen to prominence on the front lines of the anti-American fight in Iraq. But American intelligence officials say that Zarqawi, a Jordanian, long ago set his sights more broadly on an Islamic Jihad extending to the Mediterranean. The American officials said Thursday they had no reason to doubt a claim of responsibility for Wednesday’s bombings in Jordan issued by Zarqawi’s organization, Al-Qaeda in Mesopotamia.
Zarqawi has seen a widening insurgency as an opportunity, and American intelligence officials say it is one that he has carefully nurtured.
Zarqawi has long harbored deep hatred for Jordan’s Hashemite monarchy, and his organization has maintained roots there.
An American counterterrorism official said that Zarqawi’s longstanding goals include the establishment of a single Islamic state throughout the Levant.
Zarqawi himself outlined those goals in a 2004 letter to top al-Qaeda leaders that was intercepted by the American military.
“We know from God’s religion that the true, decisive battle between infidelity and Islam is in this land,” Zarqawi said, referring to what he called “Greater Syria.”
Zarqawi has succeeded in enlisting support from Iraqi militants as well as foreigners, and he has benefited from an influx of jihadists from Saudi Arabia, other Persian Gulf countries, and, increasingly, from North African countries including Sudan, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. (New York Times)
