IT WILL TAKE AN ACT OF GOD
TO GET ISHMAEL’S DESCENDENTS
TO AGREE LONG ENOUGH TO DEFEAT
ISRAEL AND DRIVE HER INTO THE NEGEV!
ISHMAEL’S OFFSPRING ARE TRULY WILD MEN
LIKE A FOLD OF WILD DONKEYS AT MATING TIME
THE MALES FIGHTING EACH OTHER FOR DOMINANCE

The character of Ishmael does seem to have been carried forward in the genes of his descendents. They strive to be the dictator of whatever fold they abide in, and refuse to surrender their leadership except by a fight to the death. God can hold iron and clay together, and when he decides it will be done, we will see it happen. The current internal conflict in the Hamas is typical of what destroyed the first Islamic Caliphate begun by Muhammad, when their divisions among themselves caused it to die by the sword of the Mongolian Empire in 1258.
The same wild man (or donkey} characteristic is now keeping them from uniting to resurrect an Islamic Caliphate form the ashes of the first one. But when God acts to put it in their hearts to unite from Morocco to India, they will do so just long enough to follow the Antichrist to victory, and a 3 and ½ year reign from Dan to Beersheba.
Genesis 16:11,12 – 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.
[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.
Daniel 2:42-44 – 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.
Revelation 17:12,13,17 – And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. [13] These have one mind, and shall give their power
and strength unto the beast. [17] For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Daniel 7:20,22,13,14 – And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. [21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; [22] Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
[13] I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. [14] And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
Luke 21:25,28 – And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; [26] Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
[27] And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. [28] And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Attempted Coup Splits Hamas Military Forces
Avi Issacharoff
June 25, 2008
The Hamas military wing, Iz al-Din al-Qassam, has split into two groups after an attempt to replace its military commander, Ahmed Al-Jabari, with Imad Akal.
Mohammed Deif, the former head of Iz al-Din al-Qassam, was behind the attempt, according to Palestinian sources.
There are now two camps: one led by Al-Jabari and the other by Akal.
There have been long-stand ing disagreements between Al-Jabari and the political leadership of Hamas
in Gaza. The tension exploded when Hamas police attempted to arrest members of the military group who were suspected of criminal activities. The Hamas militants resisted arrest, and the police and Iz al-Din al-Qassam members exchanged fire.
According to the sources, Iz al-Din al-Qassam is divided, and there have been several attempts by commanders to kill their rivals to ensure they control an area or the organization’s assets. In Khan Yunis, for example, for over a year there have been three local commanders, each of whom considers himself the chief in the region. In addition, senior Iz al-Din commanders have become more involved in criminal activities, particularly smuggling, which they control exclusively. (Ha’aretz)
