Separation of Palestinians and Jews Idea is almost 4000 years Old!

Abraham and Sarah were wrong to not wait for the Promised Seed to come from the barren womb of Sarah, but they were right to separate the descendants of the Promised Seed from Abraham’s seed through Hagar and Keturah. It is the only way they can ever be at peace until the Promised Seed through Abraham’s grandson Jacob, the man God renamed Israel, comes to establish it in the person of Jesus Christ. The Patriarch Abraham did not have to build a wall to separate them in his day – he just sent them into a different zone of the Middle East.
God promised Abraham a Seed would come from the barren womb of his wife Sarah, but Sarah conceived a plan whereby she could produce a seed for Abraham from the womb of her handmaid Hagar, and Hagar bore Abraham a seed, Ishmael.
This was not in accordance with God’s plan of redemption for mankind.
Genesis 17:18-21 – And Abraham said unto God, O that Ishmael might live before thee!
[19] And God said, Sarah thy wife shall bear thee a son indeed; and thou shalt call his name Isaac: and I will establish my covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his seed after him. [20] And as for Ishmael, I have heard thee: 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. [21] But my covenant will I establish with Isaac, which Sarah shall bear unto thee at this set time in the next year.
Genesis 21:1-3, 9-14, 12,13, 20,21 – And the Lord visited Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did unto
Sarah as he had spoken. [2] For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. [3] And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.
[9] 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. [13] And also of the son of the bondwoman will I make a nation, because he is thy seed. [14] 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 Beer-sheba. [20] And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an archer. [21] And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.
Late in life, after Sarah’s death, Abraham had six more sons through Keturah, and once again he sent them away from Isaac to a different zone of the earth.
Genesis 25:1,2,5,6 – Then again Abraham took a wife, and her name was Keturah. [2] And she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, and Medan, and Midian, and Ishbak, and Shuah. [5] And Abraham gave all that he had unto Isaac. [6] But unto the sons of the concubines, which Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, and sent them away from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, eastward, unto the east country.
The descendants of the 12 sons of Ishmael and the six sons of Keturah have long mingled among themselves, and with the descendants of Ham, Shem and Japheth, who were already scattered across the Middle East long before Abraham had his sons by Hagar and Keturah.
They are a “mingled” people. The Hebrew word for “mingled” is “arab.” The descendants of Jacob, the man Israel, have been much more diligent to keep their blood line from intermarriage with others not in their blood line from Jacob. The coming time of what the Bible identifies as “The Time of Jacob’s Trouble,” will be a Holy War between the “mingled” descendants of Hagar and Keturah
and the line of Jacob.
The “mingled” people of the ten toes of the statue in Daniel 2:43 are Ar
ab nations that will attack Israel in a Jihad. They are the “mingled” peoples that represent the descendants of Hagar and Keturah, who intermarried with the people already in the land when the offspring of Abraham were born.
They are also the 10 horns of Daniel 7. They will initially be successful in driving Israel into the Negev, where Israel will remain for some three and one half years, or for “a time, and times, and the dividing of time.” After the final battle of Armageddon, at the end of the time (1Yr) and times (2Yrs) and the dividing of time (1/2 Yr), the Lord will establish his Millennial Kingdom on this earth,
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.
Daniel 7:24-27 – And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. [25] And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be GIVEN INTO HIS HAND UNTIL A TIME AND TIMES AND THE DIVIDING OF TIME.
[26] But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. [27] And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.
The ingredients necessary for the latter day fulfillment of Daniel 7:25 are finally slipping into place in the Middle East, where the sons of Abraham started the situation that has now come to fruition in the same area.
