The worlds destiny is pivotal upon the next passages. We left an intensely subliming rivalry boiling between Ishmael and Isaac.
Despite being of plain birth (with no promise of cosmic greatness) Ishmael had prospered fathering a great multi nation kingdom on the Arabian peninsula. According to the bible God assisted Ishmael in this endeavor.
The knife of contention still twisted inside of Ishmael and his descendants, because his sibling and arch rival Isaac's, and his descendants (Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Gideon, and David), were bequeathed the full inheritance of Abraham.
Why Isaac and not Ishmael? The bible hints that the level of FAITH(1) was greatest and the bloodline of. Isaac was divine (c.) This birth of the promise was necessary to bring the manifest destiny of gods plan for the earth into fruition.
I feel that Ishmael and the people of his time had a mystic conduit and a sensitivity to the universe and to space time that we can only dream of now. It was a natural product of these people being of superior genetic make (e) up. Also , the after glow of gods (the intelligent designer of this universe or ID) supernatural influence (f) was much brighter then than it is today.
Our built in genetic obsolescence blinds us to our natural universe, and God. We use our energy for suspicious secular notions, and that weakens us spiritually. We are eons removed from understanding the universe as it actually is….oops I’m digressing (again)!
This searing resentment, and the titanic jealousies that have resulted, have festered for over 2000 years, and have created wars, atrocities (born of ignorance) , that have no equal in history. The title deed to Israel that God promised to Abraham's and thus Isaac's (g) lineage have been the major catalyst in this orgy of historical hate and the discontenting failure of the tow religions to merge.
The Muslims suspect that the Jews changed and distorted the bible in order to install themselves as the only heir to Abraham According to my and many more learned than I scholars, research, there is no evidence to support this accusation. However I remain open to new texts and new information on this timeless and chaotic subject. As it stands today the texts clearly teaches that a Covent was made expressly to Isaac and his descendants alone.
End of part two
I know, I know, I said two parts but this thing is more difficult to encapsulate than I had imagine promise that I will finish in pt 3!
