1 DID YHWH really say I Am? 12th of Av, 5768 Issue 20 14th August 2008 Inside this issue: Did YHWH really say I AM? Are Muslims illegitimate Children? אהיה אשׁר אהיה (Exodus) 3:14 Shemoth Shemoth (Exodus) 3:14 And the Word of Elohim said to Moshe, Eyeh asher eyeh: and He said, This shall you say to the children of Yisrael, EYEH has sent me to you. 15 And Elohim said moreover to Moshe, This shall you say to the children of Yisrael, YHWH Elohim of your ahvot, the Elohim of Avraham, the Elohim of Yitzchak, and the Elohim of Yaakov, has sent me to you: this is My Name le-olam-va-ed, and this is My memorial to all generations. Is YHWH s name really I am that was given to Moshe Rabbenu? This is what most have been led to believe if you read most common translations of the Bible as most Bible translators claim that this was the name given to Moshe (Moses) the great Rabbi (Teacher). Dear friends, it s time to bust another church myth held dear by so many. Ignorance is the biggest weapon S.a.tan uses against us to keep us from the truth. Admittedly this was translated by the Jewish scholars since the said passage is in the Torah. -- New Jerusalem with Apocrypha Exodus 3:14 God said to Moses, "I am he who is." And he said, "This is what you are to say to the Israelites, `I am has sent me to you.' " What does Hayah Asher Hayah really mean? John 11:25 Yahushua said to her I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in Me though he may die yet shall he live It has concerned me that in many references YHWH plainly gives His name yet a completely erroneous proposition has been put forward in the Scriptures that defies the very name He gives such as the translation I am has been put forth by allegedly good scholars. If Moses really said this to the Israelites they would laugh at him and ridicule him but thanks be to YHWH this is not what He stated to Moses. Most Western people fail to understand this, it s like saying His name was Jesus while the Angel Gabriel delivered the name Yahushua and millions of Christians quite happily and ignorantly believe Jesus is the true name. It s an oxymoron. There are plenty of scholars with shoddy scholarship promoting this kind of theology. Many are taught also that somehow by magic YHWH s name changed to Jesus or Kurios in the New Testament. These are vile lies of S.a.tan that we will put to rest permanently once for all times.

2 Page 2 DID YHWH really say I Am? If YHWH wanted to say I am then He could simply say in the Hebrew language Anokhi or Ani. He does not need to go into hoopla to say what has been translated in Exodus 3:14 to I am and yet in the whole of Scriptures we are led to believe by today s scholarship that YHWH contradicts Himself by saying His name is YHWH at least 7000 times. In the West it is ok to live with contradictions and lies because it s good marketing but Scriptures cannot be broken so truth must shine through and cannot be held by demonic forces out there operating through individuals. 1 John 2:4 He who says, "I know Him,'' and does not keep His commandments, [Keep Torah] is a liar, and the truth is not in him.. There is a suit shop in London that I usually pass through and on their window Ad they say suits reduced to 100 sale from 249 and 289 each. As long as I can remember walking past this shop it has never sold suits at 289 or even 249 so the claim of a 100 sale is a complete and utter lie and misinformation sold to the public but understand that the Western mind thinks this is good marketing as long as the public don t know who cares. The notion is what you don t know does not hurt you. This is how the Catholics and Protestants have been hoodwinked into believing the lies that the New Testament was written in Koine Greek which is an utter lie as it was originally penned in Hebrew/Aramaic. When Israel wrote down any religious text it was in the native Semitic language. Later it was written in normal Greek in the process of translating into a language which was needed in the same pattern as the Septuagint so nothing magical happened. No matter how many times a lie is told it always remains a lie. People who have not investigated the Scriptures or history would not know otherwise so this way the populace is hoodwinked into an error that can only beget error. Now in the opinion of the sellers of the suit shop above no one really knows that the suits were ever at 289 so it makes good business sense to claim that it is selling at a knocked down price and then say that it has been reduced. This is how the British people are happily conned. Since this is the West no one really bothers but if this was the East the shop owner would be beaten up for sure and the shop burnt down. Likewise ask the so called Scholars who claim the New Testament is Greek where did the Hebrew Matthew go and they will suddenly get a blue face. Show them that the Greek in the New Testament is poor Greek and certainly not Koine Greek. There is just so much misinformation floating around in our world only YHWH can clear it all and one day He will clear this mess. In the East people take things very seriously while here these kinds of things are considered good business practice and you and I both know that most of the marketing is built on what is usually an untruth. Let me show you now that in the heavens it is not about marketing but TRUTH that YHWH is concerned about and He is always consistent even though man may not be. Sadly there are just so many charlatans in our world that need to be exposed. The prophets of old were concerned with disseminating truth and not whether they looked good or not doing it. Beresheet (Genesis) 15:7 יהוה Ani )אני YHWH) Beresheet (Genesis) 28:13 יהוה Ani )אני YHWH) OK, not quite a second witness but let me give you the second witness. Shophtim (Judges) 6:10 ) יהוה Aniאני YHWH)

3 Page 3 DID YHWH really say I Am? The first occurrence of the word which reads in the Hebrew Ani YHWH exactly as I stated is in Genesis 15:7. YHWH does not need to do mental gymnastics and come up with something completely contradictory in Exodus 3:14. Genesis 28:13 and Judges 6:10 says the same thing, I am YHWH, He could have easily said to Moses my Name is YHWH and He certainly did not say I am in Exodus 3:14. However, if you like believing in the tooth fairy and Santa Claus or is it S.a.tan s claws then that may be fine with you but here at Abrahamic-Faith we like to believe in the TRUTHS set forth by YHWH and further revealed to us by His Son whose name is also YHWH and certainly not Jesus or any of the Greek variants. His name that was given by Gabriel was Yahushua which actually separates into three Hebrew words. Yah (short name for YHWH, Hu (meaning He sound made with the placement of vowels) and Shua or Hoshea or Hoshua (represented for salvation). So in the meaning of Yah-OO-Shua we see the name YHWH clearly mentioned because Yahuweh was illustrating who is delivering the salvation and who is the person that was standing in front of Israel, in other words 100% YHWH. It can never be transliterated into Jesus Jesu Yesu or any other varieties yet over a billion people are taught this false theology as good marketing to keep them from using the sacred name. If anyone from the sacred names group say to use the true name then they are branded by this quasi majority that is in open error as heretic. The name Jesus is meaningless by itself as it translates to absolutely nothing in the English and when we break the word into its Hebrew components we get an interesting interpretation. If you wanted to separate the name out into its constituent parts then we get Ye followed by soos which would picture Led by the Horse in its most ancient Hebrew form or it would be ish soos would be horse man in the modern Hebrew. That would make it a Horse of war by the way which is the symbol of the Anti-Messiah, because the symbol for the horse in scripture usually is for war. This blunder is certainly not of YHWH but man. This shows us one thing clearly that many alleged Christians would fall into the Islamic Beast s camp and be annihilated because of their own stupidity not knowing how to discern between the horse and the The Messiaih. If we believed that Moses received only the text that said I am nothing could be further from the truth because as you will see your world is about to shatter because it was built on the fickle imaginations of men and good salesman from the Catholic Church distributing these to its daughter (Protestant Christianity). You will find very few people even know that the first five books of Moses called the Torah were written in an ancient Hebrew script now no longer used. It was the pictorial form of text similar to the Egyptian hieroglyphics. There were no vowel markings so how some one can arrive at the Ehyeh is absolute and utter nonsense because with no vowel marking how could one arrive at such a conclusion. The Scriptures are our best guide to interpreting truth. The break down Let me show you what the word YHWH would look like in the ancient text. (YHWH in the most ancient Hebrew script) Now this is very different from what you and I are used to but it conveys a powerful meaning in the ancient text. First the name does not mean to be which is a verb but actually in the most ancient script it means breath or more correctly life in its simplest reference because YHWH is LIFE pure and simple. The proof is right in Genesis the book of beginnings. Beresheeth (Genesis) 2:7 And YHWH Elohim formed man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of chayim [Breath of Life]; and man became a living nephesh.

4 Page 4 There you have the meaning Breath of life or Breath, the meaning of YHWH. How clear could it be than this yet this passes the noses of almost everyone without question which is the meaning of YHWH that every living being carries. If we separate the different symbols in the ancient script then it shows us Leading by the hand to Eternal life via the Ruach (Holy Spirit). YeshaYahu (Isaiah) 42:8 I am hwhy: that is My Name: and My tifereth will I not give to another, neither My hallel to graven images Why would YHWH change His mind? Why would YHWH say that His NAME is YHWH one minute yet expect us to believe that His name is I am the next? He says this truth in many places plainly. Let us take another look. Tehillim (Ps 83:18) That men may know that thou, whose NAME alone is YHWHart the most high over all the earth. There you go I have given you another two prophetic witnesses. Does it not bother any of you that people are walking in erroneous church traditions without questioning what they are following? Let us see pick the conversation in Exodus, the questioner Moses and he says this in the Hebrew text. מה שׁמו 3:13 Exodus He basically asks literally reading the Hebrew What Name or adding the mode of Hebrew talk What is your name to YHWH? This in itself shows Moses asking for a signature to take to the Hebrew people. When He is saying what name, he is not simply just asking for his title or name but asking him, who are you and what is your nature and authority so that I may take this to my people to prove that You (YHWH) sent me. YHWH responds in Exodus 3:14. DID YHWH really say I Am? ויאמר אלהים אל משׁה אהיה אשׁר אהיה ויאמר כה תאמר לבני ישׂראל אהיה שׁלחני אליכם Exo 3:14 A few contend that the words ehyah is the Akkadian form of the word for YHWH as is ehyah pronounced ee-yah. I have not found any evidence to validate this as yet. Here is my proposition on how Exodus 3:14 should be read or translated. And Elohim Spoke upon Moshe (Moses) Aleph+H+YAH Ashar Aleph+H+Yah I am The Yah That is still Yah and He spoke this to the sons of Israel, this is by the leading of The Yah the one He is sending forth among you (meaning Moses). Now remember one thing that this is not in Paleo Hebrew as wrongly thought by some but in the most ancient script which was pictographic and this is how it would look... Now let s break this down (Yah), this is the short form of the name YAH. (Aleph) The Aleph denotes Strength and is also the symbol and sign of the Messiah who is Yahuweh. The Hebrew rule is that the Aleph is silent almost like it is not there. Then we have the Heh character before a word leaving us with which in Hebrew usually refers to The as the definite article YAH at the End. So we would be left with this The YAH. The original writings of Moses had no vowel points hence we can see why the confusion was introduced later when vowel points were added in words to make it easier to read the modern version of the Hebrew language. The only problem is since the ancient did not have vowels then why introduce confusion?

5 Page 5 DID YHWH really say I Am? So what do we have in Exodus 3:14 is Yahuweh s name described as The Yah (The short form of the name) remember the Scriptures are our witness so now we need to demonstrate this fact through two witnesses in Scripture. Let us exmaine these. Now let us look at Genesis 31:13 and Psalm 102:18 as our two witnesses. אנכי האל From right to left Anokhi Ha-El we have the same pattern as in Exodus 3:14 where the Heh is in front of the word for the Mighty one so in Ancient pictograph. (Ha-EL) Yahuweh is referred to as The Mighty one. Psalm 102:18 This will be written for the generation to come, That a people yet to be created may praise the Yah. Again we see the same pattern of The Yah. For our 3rd witness we look at the one who is the murderer from the begininng (S.a.tan) who inspired Cain to kill Abel. Job 1:7 And YHWH said to [The] Satan, "From where do you come?'' So [The] Satan answered YHWH and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.'' Brackets mine. Both references for S.a.tan in the above text referred to as The S.a.tan - Here is the Hebrew for it. The clearly proves my point how the text was arranged in Exodus 3:14 proving Yah s name not something else. The definite article is in front of the name of S.a.tan and precedes the name in one form. The definite article is also preceding the word for The El (Mighty one) The letters in Eh-Yah are Aleph + Heh + Yud + Heh. They actually reveal the set-apart plurality of YHWH, Father, Son and the Ruach Ha Kodesh collectively and in their simplest form are referred to as The YAH. The words in Hebrew eh-yah Ashar Eh-Yah were a signature for the true NAME pure and simple. YHWH was assuring the Hebrews in Egypt who were in slavery for quite some time that not to worry that the one whose NAME (Scriptures are all about the heavenly NAME and His testimonies) Who was YAH is Still Yah (In other words His nature has not changed because NAME is related to nature, authority, prestige and it is all about the NAME) and He is sending forth a deliverer because He has not changed and He has not forgotten the covenant made with the forefathers. Where I come from middle-eastern culture when I give my word to somebody as a promise usually I will say I remember my tongue meaning what I told you before I remember and still stands and will fulfil it so this is what Yahuweh is conveying that He Remembers and is going to fulfil the covenant and has not forgotten the Hebrew people. The aspect of covenant is also in these verses but I want to keep this article simple and not delve too deeply into the covenant situation right now. If the name simply says I am that I am or He is who He is or I will be that I will be then it makes no sense whatsoever because His name as shown above was never at anytime Ani or just I AM. Can those people who claim this is the translation show us two witnesses in Scripture that says this is the case? Unfortunately they won t even find one witness because the only place this translation took place was in Exodus 3:14 so Moses is the only witnesses but then Moses knew the Name of Yahuweh so why would we expect him to write it wrong? Now that you know the truth let us validate it by the words of our Master Messiah Yahushua. Let us look at the episode of Yahushua when He is confronted with the same truth and had come bringing the same signature that was present in the Torah because He came proclaiming the truth in the Torah because the Torah sets forth how one should live and who is the saviour. Yochanan (John) 8:58 Yahushua said to them, Amein, Amein, I say to you, Before Avraham was, I am.

6 Page 6 Here Yahushua very clearly lays it out that He is YHWH and that is what He says. Let s pick up the Hebrew. ויאמר אליהם ישוע אמן אמן אני אמר לכם בטרם היות אברהם אני הייתי John 8:58 This is how the Hebrew should read. And Yahushua Elohim said to them Amen Amen (Meaning so be it or pay attention this is an important truth), I say to you before Abraham was established I was The Yah. The Hebrew bit where we have this is actually not present any longer. Most of the Aramaic translators would translate these final words of Yahushua as I was. Rest assured Yahushua made a complete connection to Yah not just I was or the errant I am. This is the part where Yahushua would most certainly give the Hebrew signature present in Exodus 3:14 not only to verify that He is the Prophet to come but also The Messiah for Israel and Yahuweh in person. In my opinion it would have been written as such before Abraham existed or was established Eh- Yah Ashar Eh-Yah meaning I was Yah am Yah tallying up with Exodus 13:4. This was the whole point of Yahushua s speaking this truth out. He was showing several things, one that Moses was a great teacher and the Jewish nation respected that so He is essentially saying if Moshe Rabbenu was a great teacher then here stands one before you who is greater than Moses. The one who communed on Mount Sinai explaining and giving the Torah to Moses. This is the reason why the Jewish people immediately picked up stones to stone Him because He had uttered a blasphemy according to their thinking and knowledge. People don t just casually pick up stones because they feel like throwing stones on a certain day of the week because they are tired of high gas prices (Joke). RSTNE Yochanna (John) 8:59 Then they took up stones to cast at Him: but ucwhy hid Himself, and went out of the Beit HaMikdash, going through the midst of them, and so went away. This is why we read in the Bible such as the following: KJV Reads: Matthew 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. Let s read this in the RSTNE Bible Mattiyahu (Matthew) 26:64 ucwhy (Yahushua) said to him, You have said it: nevertheless I say to you, After this you shall see the Ben Ahdahm sitting at the right hand of hwhy, and coming in the clouds of the shamayim. Let me Elaborate the ending verse, After this you shall see the Ben Ahdahm (Son of Adam) sitting at the Right Hand AS YHWH and coming in the clouds of the heavens. Now we can see Yahushua gave countless signatures of Himself as the mighty power of heaven in other words YHWH the Son. This is why He could not have just said I am in Yochannan 8:58 but more correctly as shown above representing YHWH. Simon Altaf (Rabbi)

7 Page 7 Are the Muslims illegitimate Children and should we hate them? Genesis 16:3 Then Sarai, Abram's wife, took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan. This is an instance of a woman such as Sarah giving over her maid to Abraham the form of patriarchal marriage through then whom Ishmael was to be born. Scripture tells us that Abraham had dwelt ten years trying to show us that it was ten years since the last time YHWH had spoken to Abraham and said to him that He would give him a son. Sarah obviously did not think this would happen through her as Ten years had gone and any human might think that it is time to move on and surely this was in Sarah s mind when she let Abraham had the son through Hagar. Genesis 16:9 So the Angel of YHWH said to her, "Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.'' When Hagar had gotten pregnant she became a bit haughty and started taunting her sister wife Sarah because she was barren and then when Sarah retaliated Hagar fled while the Angel of YHWH (this angel is Yahushua) told her to go back and submit to Sarah. Genesis 16:11 And the Angel of YHWH said to her: "Behold, you are with child, and you shall bear a son. You shall call his NAME Ishmael, because YHWH has heard your affliction. It was YHWH that gave her the name for her son Ishmael which meant Elohim has heard. From here we can see that the whole process from Sarah giving over Hagar to Abraham to the birth of the child is all legal and proper according to Torah. Nothing untoward had happened other than that the oestrogen of the two women came in the way of infighting however Ishmael is the legitimate son of Abraham by every right and so far from a human perspective the heir and first born son. Genesis 17:12 "He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male child in your generations, he who is born in your house or bought with money from any foreigner who is not your descendant. The instructions were clear that YHWH had given Abraham the Abrahamic covenant and commanded him to circumcise all the children starting at eighth days old. This circumcision was forever. Muslims still do carry out the circumcision faithfully of their children. At this point in time Abraham was ninety nine years old and his son Ishmael was thirteen years old so he was circumcised at this age. Genesis 17:14 "And the uncircumcised male child, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that person shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.'' Christians are predominantly taught not to circumcise their children yet it was a commandment and part of the covenant they cite for themselves. So this was not for salvation but for

8 Page 8 Are the Muslims illegitimate Children and should we hate them? righteousness sake. Yahushua was also circumcised on the 8 th day of His birth (Luke 2:21). Genesis 17:15-16 Then Elohim said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name. (16) "And I will bless her and also give you a son by her; then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.'' Now YHWH reiterates the promise He had made to Abraham almost twenty five years ago that He would give him a son. He changes the name of Sarai to Sarah and So it was not that YHWH rejected Ishmael in anyway but YHWH was showing Abraham a new thing that the covenant had to worked through the son of Sarah. Genesis 17:19 Then Elohim said: "No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant, and with his descendants after him. Here YHWH begins to narrow down the covenant working with Isaac so there is no misunderstanding although Ishmael is blessed by YHWH but the covenant and all subsequent prophetic dealings regarding Israel would come through Isaac. Ishmael was legal heir of Abraham s property but we need to remember the law that YHWH gave in the Torah the reason why YHWH even showed us that He switched the blessings and covenants from the older to the younger. Point one Ishmael was born through Hagar who was Abraham s second wife however Abraham had wife number one who was Sarah so the commandment in Torah stated that a husband cannot favour a son from the second wife over the first even though Isaac had not been born but YHWH makes this precept very clear early on with Abraham by personally performing a switch and later Moses writes the precept which was well understood about Torah even by the Patriarchs. Exodus 21:10 "If he takes another wife, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, and her marriage rights. Whose marriage Rights shall not diminish? Wife number one that is Sarah. So her children will always get preference number one even if they are hated or loved irrelevant to that. Deuteronomy 21:15-16 "If a man has two wives, one loved and the other unloved, and they have borne him children, both the loved and the unloved, and if the firstborn son is of her who is unloved. (16) "then it shall be, on the day he bequeaths his possessions to his sons, that he must not bestow firstborn status on the son of the loved wife in preference to the son of the unloved, who is truly the firstborn. Here YHWH is clear that even in a two wife situation that if the man loves one of the wives and does not love the other he still must give preference to the bekhor (first born) son of the unloved. Yahuweh wanted to regulate the marriages so that women will not be left in an unadvantaged situation or their children neglected and without a father. Today women are

9 quick to run to the divorce courts but in the Middle-Eastern culture and even today Muslims and Sepharidic Jews still have more than one wife and divorce is unheard of in these lands and communities. So coming back to the story of Ishmael he was not unfavoured in any way but he was not given the covenant or it could not continue through his line so if Muhammad being a son of Ishmael through his progeny then it will be apparent why Muhammad cannot be the prophet for YHWH but he certainly is the prophet for Allah considering Allah and YHWH are two entirely distinct deities. Genesis 17:20 "And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall beget twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation. Ishmael was to beget twelve sons and these were to be princes. It should be apparent that twelve sons are not going to come from one woman so let us seek evidence if this is so. Yahsar 21: 17 And he and his mother afterward went to the land of Egypt, and they dwelt there, and Hagar took a wife for her son from Egypt, and her name was Meribah. So here comes wife number one for Ishmael since YHWH had already decided that Ishmael was going to have twelve sons so you reckon that he deliberately went out seeking a second wife? No, what YHWH had decided was fully good and kosher and no man can come in between to destroy the precepts of YHWH. Sorry the West has its culture lopsided and thinks what they do is right. Yahsar 21: 18 And the wife of Ishmael conceived and bare four sons and two daughters, and Ishmael and his mother and his wife and children afterward went and returned to the wilderness. So she conceived four sons and two daughters. I would say the average for one wife in the Bible is about five children. It was Abraham who ordered his son through an idiom such as nail of the tent to take another wife since Ishmael s first wife was not only beating up her children but also cursing her children and her husband and this thing displeased Abraham. The women are really the nail of the tent (home) and If that nail becomes blunt then holy one of Israel help us because it can start to wreac havoc on a family no wonder the Bible says this in the book of proverbs. Proverbs 19:13 A foolish son is the ruin of his father, and the contentions of a wife are a continual dripping. Ah I hear those ladies in the West who wear the pants trying to correct me. Let me remind you ladies who are wives to submit to your husbands (Eph 5:22 be like Sarah, Rebeccah, Rachel and Leah) just as Yahushua commands and stop usurping authorities in the home trying to become little gods. And husband love your wives unconditionally, give them respect even if they are haughty against you pray for them but do not call for divorce, this is unholy and not the way of YHWH.

10 Let s get back to Ishmael. Did YHWH know that Ishmael would take another wife? Of course and fully approved by YHWH. Contrary to popular belief Ishmael was very obedient to his father Abraham. The second wife of Ishmael was very obedient and she respected and honoured Abraham. Abraham in turn blessed his son Ishmael in the name of YHWH. Abraham his father was the one who approved for his son to have the second wife not condemning his son unlike today s Christians condemning fellow brothers who are in difficult marital situations and calling them names if they want to save their marriage and take on another wife. Ah if they had a mistress on the side and was found out ten years later then the disgrace and heartache it brings seems to be ok with most because then they can just blame the man has fallen oh what good man he was baloney. I say YHWH approved the second marriage and you have no reason to ask another man, ask YHWH only and listen to His voice for your life. If you have been chosen for such a thing then He must reveal it. Yashar 21:41 And Abraham said to her, I will not stop for I am in haste to continue my journey, but give me a little water to drink, for I have thirst; and the woman hastened and ran into the tent and she brought out water and bread to Abraham, which she placed before him and she urged him to eat, and he ate and drank and his heart was comforted and he blessed his son Ishmael. Would a father bless his son if he was into false worship? No way of that happening. You want proof? Yashar 21:48 And Ishmael knew that it was his father, and that his wife had honored him, and YHWH blessed Ishmael. So if YHWH blessed Ishmael did He approve of his second wife or disapprove? Many a righteous line of Israel s descendents came from second wives. King David s line goes to Ruth Boaz s second wife. Rav Shaul of the New Testament has a line going back to Benjamin who had two wives. Lamech s third wife Ashmua produced the righteous line of Noah. If there is no Noah then there would be no Sons for Noah, no you and no me and no Messiah. Proof that YHWH blessed him for the sake of his second wife who was sincere and faithful. Quite an honour I might say for one that many people claim was unrighteous. Ishmael was indeed righteous albeit with his human issues which I must say we all also have and the Bible leaves us with the end of Ishmael showing us nothing negative about his belief system. I would say Ishmael died believing in YHWH just like his dad Abraham so would go to be joined unto his fathers. However the line diverted from Ishmael s sons. Genesis 25:9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite, In fact the last reference to Ishmael s sojourn in Israel shows us that he went to bury his dad. Conclusion I would say it would be very wrong for anyone to hate or show indifference to the Muslim people because there are some wonderful Muslim people. I know some Christians who go around saying the Muslims should be annihilated. This thing is obscene and should not be

They are children of Ishmael connected along the patriarchal lines back to father Abraham. In the end the Bible paints a very interesting picture of the struggle of Abraham s two sons, Isaac with the line of Israel the twelve Patriarchs (Israel s sons) and Ishmael with the twelve princes so the final battle is already drawn and the battle is over a piece of real estate today known as Israel. The battle is spiritual but is being manifested in the physical. Essentially as I have said in my book World War III Unmasking the End Times Beast the conclusion is already evident, twelve sons of light (Israel) verses the twelve sons of darkness (Islam). Now how many of Ishmael s sons come to realisation of the light of Yahushua and be saved is something we do not need to question but we need to pursue as righteous servants of the most high to reach as many as possible that we can be the salt and the light of the earth to them so that the Son (Yahushua) may be manifested in their lives and eternal life through Him.
