In Genesis 12:2 God tells Abram "And I will make of thee a great nation"
In Genesis chapter 15 God promised Abram seed i.e. offspring
However the couple had no children, So the couple took it upon themselves to get offspring
Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
16:2 And Sarai said unto Abram, Behold now, the LORD hath restrained me from bearing: I pray thee, go in unto my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. And Abram hearkened to the voice of Sarai.
Abram had sexual relations with Sarai's maid Hagar and she became pregnant with Ishmael
The couples name was later changed after making a Covenant with God, Abram became Abraham in Genesis 17:5 and Sarai became known as Sarah in Genesis 17:15. Now as the bible tells us God delivered on his promise and opened up Sarah's womb and she became pregnant with Isaac, when Sarah had became pregnant she then kicked out Hagar the maid as found in Genesis chapter 16
Genesis 16:6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.
16:7 And the angel of the LORD found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness, by the fountain in the way to Shur.
16:8 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai.
16:9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
16:10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.
16:11 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.
16:12 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.
The bible says "Ishmael" who is the father of the Arabs, shall be a wild man and his hand against every man and every man's hand against him. This is an exact description of the Arab people today.
Let us note now that Hagar is Egyptian
Genesis 16:1 Now Sarai Abram's wife bare him no children: and she had an handmaid, an Egyptian, whose name was Hagar.
Secondly, now let us look at the two nations in Rebecca's womb, one child called Jacob and the other called Esau which are the children of Isaac and grandchildren of Abraham and Sarah
Note:The spelling differs spelled Rebekah old testament and spelled Rebecca new testament.
Genesis 25:21And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Now let us look at this further in the Pauline epistle of Romans
Romans 9:10 And not only this; but when Rebecca also had conceived by one, even by our father Isaac;
9:11 (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any
good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand,
not of works, but of him that calleth;)
9:12 It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
As we learn from studying Genesis 25:21-26 and Romans 9:10-13 That two nations were in Rebecca's womb, Jacob who was later called Israel and Esau the edomite who was Arab.
Just as God changed Abram to Abraham and Sarai to Sarah he does the same thing with Jacob later in life in Genesis 35:10 and changes Jacob's name to the name Israel, and from Jacob comes the 12 tribes of Israel
Genesis 35:10 And God said unto him, Thy name is Jacob: thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name: and he called his name Israel.
Now we need to show that Esau was edomite
Genesis 25:30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
Genesis 36:9 And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in mount Seir:
Genesis 36:43 Duke Magdiel, duke Iram: these be the dukes of Edom, according to their habitations in the land of their possession: he is Esau the father of the Edomites.
Continuing on..... The Arabs were mortal enemies of the Hebrew Israelites all through the bible, in many cases God actually used various nations including Arabs to bring judgement on disobedient Israel. Because of Israel's persistent wicked sins against "The most high", "The most high" allowed Titus and the Romans to destroy the second temple in 70 AD as well as over 1 million Hebrew Israelites fell to the Roman sword, Israel. You see there were various blessings and cursings for the Hebrew people in Deuteronomy, if they obeyed God they received blessings, if they disobeyed God then they received cursings, they disobeyed and the cursings have hit them ever since, the rise of Islam is Israels fault for willful disobedience to "the most high" and Israel has brought judgement on the world no different than one man named Adam whom brought damnation to the entire world as well in the form of sin and death. Israel is still playing the whore and worshiping other gods, for example most are unaware of this but the Israelites today in 2014 believe that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a woman named "Momma Shekinah" this belief comes from Gnosticism which includes the worship of the earth, no doubt you have heard of the term "Mother Earth" ?
The cartoon "Captain Planet" in the 90s featured a spirit of the earth a goddess named "Gaia", it's the same deity Gaia is "Momma Shekinah" i.e. Mother Earth. Amazing the Satanic crap Hollywood puts in their TV shows, Cartoons and movies.
Israel is playing the whore like she always has, all throughout the old testament Israelites would take upon themselves other nations gods and worship them, and as a result the cursings came. Ezekiel chapter 16 talks about Israel prostituting herself out to various fake deities
First off Israel was to be faithful to "The most high" only and "The most high" likened his relationship to a marriage Israel was under a covenant with "The most high" and Israel committed spiritual adultery by worshiping various non-existent gods and goddess in the form of graven images i.e. Idols. We'll look at a few passages from Ezekiel 16 here
Ezekiel 16:32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
Ezekiel 16:35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the LORD:
16:36 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;
Now continuing on......Most people are unaware of this, but it is Islam who will attack Jerusalem in the last days, as Muslims themselves readily admit it they are the ones who will destroy the inhabitants of Jerusalem at the battle of Armageddon. One example of this is Muslim scholar "Imran Hosein" who openly admits this as well as other Muslims. On youtube you can watch Islamic scholar "Imran Hosein" discuss this issue in the video titled
"WW3 Armageddon Islam Vs Israel Final Battle For Jerusalem"
However Islam is not on the winning side, Islam was simply used by "the most high" as an evil nation to bring judgement on disobedient Israel sort of like a cosmic spanking. However "the most high" will putdown the angry dog of Islam when he returns
If you read Psalm 83 it shows the Muslim nations conspiring to attack Jerusalem, the word tumult is used and it means
1. The din and commotion of a great crowd.
a. A disorderly commotion or disturbance.
b. A tempestuous uprising; a riot.
Pslam 83 lists the nations, we have Ishmaelites, Edom, even Hagarenes which are Egyptians and descendants of Ishmael's mother Hagar as well as various other Arab nations
Pslam 83:1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
83:3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
83:5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
83:7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
83:8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
Remember the three people of Genesis ?
Esau the edomite, and Ishamel and his mother Hagar
Edom = Palestinians, Ishmaelites = Saudi Arabia, Hagarenes = Egypt
Proof Edom is Palestinians found in Malachi 1:1-5
Malachi 1:1 The burden of the word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.
1:2 I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob,
1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the LORD hath indignation for ever.
1:5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The LORD will be magnified from the border of Israel.
Notice the reference to Edom taking the desolate land of Israel and living in it in Malachi 1:1-5 and remember that the land was desolated in 70 AD when they second temple fell.
Mark Twain visited Israel in 1867, and published his impressions in Innocents Abroad. He described a desolate country – devoid of both vegetation and human population:
“….. A desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over
wholly to weeds… a silent mournful expanse…. a desolation…. we never saw
a human being on the whole route…. hardly a tree or shrub anywhere.
Even the olive tree and the cactus, those fast friends of a worthless
soil, had almost deserted the country.”
The following is a quote from Bill Salus highlighted in blue
When Israel became a nation again in 1948, the Palestinians for all intents and purposes became a people. They became the refugees of Palestine as a result of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The surrounding Arab nations protested the reestablishment of the nation Israel and came together in a war effort against the returning Jewish people. They instructed the Arabs residing within Israel at the time, to vacate temporarily until the Jewish nation was destroyed, at which time these departing Arabs could return into the land. Amongst the Arabs who left Israel at the time were some of those who had descended from Esau, i.e. the Edomites. History reports that the Jewish people were victorious, and these Edomites became numbered among the refugees of Palestine. Hence at the time they became refugees residing in tents. The Edomites were for all intents and purposes at the time the “tents of Palestine”, or as they are called today, the Palestinian people.
Picture below of the Palestinians dwelling in tents
Psalm 83:6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
The Hebrew word for tabernacle is 'ohel which means tent

Next we should pay attention to the symbol of the dragon, which is used for both Egypt,Edom, and Satan
Ezekiel 29:3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
Malachi 1:3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Notice that the dragon in revelation 12:3 below is referred to as "RED"
Revelation 12:3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
(From the Strong's Concordance) Strong's H123 Edom = "red"
Next we have the following in Revelation
Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
13:2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
13:3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
We have a leopard, bear, lion and dragon
I'm aware of the itching ear doctrine of fables for Revelation 13:2 in which it is interpreted as the leopard being Germany and the Bear being the Russian bear and the lion being Great Britain, this end time fable popularized the churches after coming from Hollywood script writers who helped a certain Pentecostal end time preacher sell his end time magazines and dvds, this false doctrine then invaded other churches such as the baptist church.
The three beasts of revelation 13 have been identified by scholars, archeologists and historians many times over, and I'm going with the scholarly interpretation for these beasts instead of itching ear fables.
The lion is Babylon which today is Iraq, the bear was medo Persia which today is Iran and the leopard was Greece which today is Syria and then we have the seat of the beast and where is Satan's seat at ?
According to revelation chapter 2
Revelation 2:12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;
2:13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.
Revelation 2:13 is to the church in Pargamos according to verse 2:12, and verse 2:13 says "even where Satan's seat is" as history has taught us this referred to the alter of Zeus where Zeus was worshiped in Pergamos. None the less Satan's seat has been identified, Pergamos was an ancient Greek city in Aeolis, currently located 26 kilometres (16 mi) from the Aegean Sea on a promontory on the north side of the river Caicus (modern-day Bakırçay). Today, the main sites of ancient Pergamon are to the north and west of the modern city of Bergama in Turkey.
Where is Satan's seat at ? In TURKEY !
So we have in this beast which is a middle east beast we have Iraq, Iran, Syria and Turkey
and combine them with the other three nations we know of in Psalm 83 which are Palestine, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and we now have a total of 7 of the 10 nations which will attack Jerusalem at the battle of Armageddon
Also notice the Tumult of Psalm 83:2 also appears in Zechariah 14:13
Psalm 83:2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
Zechariah 14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
Also the context of both Psalm 83:2 and Zechariah 14:13 are dealing with the battle of Armageddon, in fact the context of chapter 14 is the battle of Armageddon
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
14:2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and
the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished;
and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of
the people shall not be cut off from the city.
