Ishmael Against Everyone!

Today, the world is witnessing the accuracy of The Word of God

Regarding the descendants of Ishmael.

The angel of the Lord said to Hagar the mother of Ishmael

Whose father was Abraham:

'You are now with child and you will have a son.

You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your misery.

He will be a wild donkey of a man; his hand will be against everyone

And everyone's hand against him

And he will live in hostility toward all his brothers.' (Genesis 16:11-12)

This is the curse on the descendants of Ishmael

That can only be taken away by faith in the Christ of God, Jesus.

This is why there will never be peace

Between the descendants of Ishmael and Israel

Until Christ Jesus returns. Never!

Because God Almighty has spoken it!

O the ignorance and arrogance of the nations and their leaders

Before the Living God.

Because they will not heed the Word of God, they will all be destroyed.

Today, the God of Creation has set two immovable stones before the world.

The first is Christ Jesus:

A Stone that causes men to stumble and a Rock that makes them fall.

They stumble because they disobey the message—

Which is also what they were destined for. (1 Peter 2:8)

The second is Israel of whom God Almighty declares:

I am going to make Jerusalem a cup

That sends all the surrounding peoples reeling.

Judah will be besieged as well as Jerusalem.

On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her,

I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations.

All who try to move it will injure themselves.

On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness,

Declares the Lord.

I will keep a watchful eye over the House of Judah,

But I will blind all the horses of the nations.

Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts,

'The people of Jerusalem are strong,

Because the Lord Almighty is their God.'

On that day I will make the leaders of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile,

Like a flaming torch among sheaves.

They will consume right and left all the surrounding peoples,

But Jerusalem will remain intact in her place.

The Lord will save the dwellings of Judah first,

So that the honor of the house of David and of Jerusalem's inhabitants

May not be greater than that of Judah.

On that day the Lord will shield those who live in Jerusalem,

So that the feeblest among them will be like David,

And the house of David will be like God,

Like the Angel of the Lord going before them.

On that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that attack Jerusalem.

(Zechariah 12:2-9)

The Word of God has proven and will continue to prove perfectly accurate

In all that it addresses,

Most importantly what lies ahead for the world and its inhabitants.

This Truth stands before every living person:

There is one body and one Spirit—

Just as you were called to one hope when you were called--

One Lord, one faith, one baptism;

One God and Father of all,

Who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:4-6)

This One God sent His Only Son, Christ Jesus to the world

To save all who would put their faith, hope and trust in Him.

Everyone else stands condemned. (John 3:18)

Christ Jesus came bringing His Kingdom with Him.

Today, His Kingdom on earth is Christ in us our only hope of glory.

The Holy Spirit, living in and through us is our only hope.

There is no other hope among men.

Salvation is found in no one else,

For there is no other name under Heaven given to men

By which we must be saved. (Acts 4:12)

This name is Lord Jesus Christ, and no other.
